randomly on a friday...

1. I woke up at 2:00 a.m. and there was none of the predicted snow. Woke up again at 4:00 a.m. and it was everywhere.
2. My stupid butt made the drive in to work, thinking all the way down 525, 'this is a bad idea, i should turn around, what was I thinking, you're an idiot' and every off ramp I looked at to turn around was covered in snow, so I powered thru and made it Seattle.
3. It's supposed to turn to rain later.
4. The Christmas gifts for the Minnesota Contingent has been mailed and should be en route.
5. Boxer Mom of the year award will not be going to me. I forgot to check the box of MilkBones for peanut butter biscuits and accidentally gave her half a one...
6. This is what happens when Gabby eats peanut butter anything:

I gave her 75mg of benadryl and it cleared up in a couple hours

7. I started the first of the last 6 of gifts to be knit by Christmas.
8. The viral infection seems to have moved from the right side of my throat to the left.
9. I have about 900 things to get done between now and tomorrow night at 6:00 that includes buying enough food for two holiday dinners.
10. I'm still amazed I made it to work.

So sorry for Gabby. Looks painful, poor baby, and you are not a bad Mom.
Hope your sore throat goes bye bye soon. No fun being ill at Christmas.

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
