Weekends


My weekend contained:

-shopping for back to campus supplies-my favorite item-post it notes for post it mosaic wall art (this is one of my son's many hobbies)
-relaxing on Saturday waiting for my husband to return from a trip
-ordering pizza out!  (very lazy this weekend)
-Oh the laundry!! I am still working on it but the end is near
-meeting with friends for knitting, laughing, and catching up
-feeling a scratchy throat as soon as my husband declares having one
-wondering if it's germophobia or not
-finding THE perfect pair of casual sneakers to replace a four year old pair that I adore
-looking at the budget and gearing up for the great "no spend" mind set once the kids leave
-husband cooking curry today even though he feels icky, hence the photo above.

How was your weekend?

    if i even begin to feel a tickle in my throat or the slightest hint of scratch, is start taking emergen-c twice a day. usually knocks it out.

    curry? yum. i'm coming over because dinner tonight is in the mr.'s hands and that is sorta scary. $10 says he orders takeout instead of cooks ;-)

    It's all about the good shoes.
    And ginger tea with honey for the throat, though hopefully the curry will have knocked that right out.

    We got pizza too. I love curry - Yum! I call it sympathetic illnesses. I would follow amanda's advice. I do the same. A post-it mosaic sounds intriguing.

    Oh, curry. Yum! Knowing what you mean about a spending freeze and glad you found your sneakers before you started that :)

    My husband is the germophobe here. If one of the kids "comes down with something" he's the first to say "I think I'm getting sick" as momma, I kind of roll with it. I hate piles and piles of laundry. Good luck!

    Does laundry have an end?!

    I have a son with germophobia ... the minute anyone mentions they think they might be coming down with a cold he starts sneezing!

    Guess you're safe from head injury from Frodo ... the whippets weigh a good 30lb and at full speed travel at over 30mph! When a whippets head collides with your forehead you're in trouble! I have a brow like Neanderthal woman just now!

    We did a lot of eating out this weekend too, which is sooo not like us. Isn't it difficult to replace shoes that you love?

    We had pizza this weekend, too. At 11 pm at night, while watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympic. How decadent! (I know, we really do like to live on the edge!) Ha! Such a treat, though...we never order out. It's the little things in life that count, right?!

    Ugh...now my throat feels scratchy...hehe

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
