The Curly Knitter

It’s been a busy week.  I had a birthday, there was Thanksgiving, and a whole lot o’ knitting.

 On Wednesday, November 22 I turned 29.  God. Help. Me.  To celebrate, I promptly went to CVS and purchased some hair dye and some anti-aging products.  Fun.  Figured I should head it all off at the pass if I can.  I mean now, I am, truly, actually, pushing 30.  UGH.  I was just 20 yesterday it seems.  What the heck happened to my 20’s?  Oh well.

My friends and family were so good to me that it took some sting out of my ripe old age.
Again, no pics, boring I know, so I apologize.

My knitting girls took me out to dinner and it was a lot of fun and laughter.  I also received some very lovely gifts.  A gorgeous necklace (that is green and blingy and I love it), some candles, wine, a handbag, gloves, a CD, stationary, and some moolah.  I appreciate everyone in my life, my friends and family and am so lucky to have them.  You know who you are, and you rock.  Thank you.

There was also Thanksgiving.  It was a nice day, lots of good food and family time.  We had dinner at my parents’ house and dessert at Peter’s parents’.  We then hung in for the long weekend avoiding anything that could be construed as a store.  I may be crazy but I’m not that crazy to deal with the shopping crowds.  I don’t even care if there was free yarn!  I still would not be able to deal with the crowds.

 While hanging in, I got a lot of knitting done.  I now have a much smaller list of items to complete in the next 28 days:
*Sweater
*Gloves
*2 Bags
*A hat

This is soooo doable.  I may even have time whip out some extras too. 

Oh, and today is my lucky day it seems…..I won Valerie’s contest and scored myself a fresh skein of Fleece Artist sock yarn.  What could be better than that?!
