Happy (belated) Birthday!
Happy Birthday on Wed the 27th to my little booger. He turned 1 year old! We're have a party tomorrow, and I'm taking moment out of decorating cupcakes to post.
It's been a hell of a year, but I wouldn't change it for anything. (but a little more sleep next year would be great, k?)
oh. Hai!
Hello Blog. I forgot you were here. :)
I've been super busy. And stuff.
My baby turns 11 months today! Holy crap! Where did the year go? Seriously?
I think I need more knitting hours in the day. I've fallen way behind in the SKA knitting. I didn't finish Feb, I won't finish March, but there may be hope for April. Maybe. I've got to finish this dog sweater I've got going. It's a reknit in a larger size, and it's going a little slower than I thought it would be. I'm hoping it will be done by the end of the month.
Other than never sleeping, working here and there, and tending a almost 1 year old. Things are the same here.
Stuff.
So. What's been going on here? Lots of stuff. I've been working everyday to cover a girl that's on vacation. She comes back this weekend, so I'll be back to my 2 days a week.
Friday night we had a scare, at 2:30 in the morning a dude tried to get into our house. Turns out he was peeing on the lawnmower mans' lawn when he got home from work, and when the LM yelled at him, and called the cops, the dude FOLLOWED him into his house. LM's son ran after him, and he ran to our house to try to get in and get away. He was on the deck trying to open the door, and the dogs were freaking out and my husband got up and said 'what the f*ck!?' and the dude said "let me in!" as he ran away. I called the cops, and they were here in 10 seconds, as they were already on the way because LM had already called them. They swept the neighboorhood, even looking under the tarp that covers the pool next door. Crazy! I was pretty freaked out, and didn't get back to sleep until after 4 am. Then the baby got up at 7. We ened up takeing a couple naps together that day. :)
At work they got a new system, and need all the data transfered into it, so I get to work from home via remote desktop while the baby sleeps. Works in everyone's favor.
Dude.
I broke my laptop. It fell off the couch and the little plug part broke off into the plug part on the computer. It still sort of works, but I need a new mac cord. One that doesn't jiggle lose.
ack!
So I borrow my hubby's when he is not looking.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! :)
So, since I walked away from the casino with some monies in my pocket, I decided to run the contest like this.
I counted up all the yarn, 1-16. (Each person's vote gets 2 entries into my contest) I used the Random Number Generator, and Number 16 popped up! So, that means Aitara, you'll be getting the lorna's laces Franklin's Panopticon.
Congrats! And thank you all again. :)
A Big THANK YOU
To everyone who voted in the Zuda contest. My Husband thanks you as well. :)
So. Yarn drawing tomorrow. Why tomorrow, you ask? (I know you do. You can't wait, the suspense is killing you.) Because tonight, my hubby and I are escaping! We're going to the Ever Exciting
Mystic Lake Casino and Hotel. We're not gamblers. Nope. Not in the least. But the rest of the family is, and they're all heading down, and they got us a room. So, we got us a dog sitter and we're taking Johnathan and we're going for our First ever overnight trip! Woo! The last time Hubby and I went away was...um... 9 months ago. We stayed in the hospital. Yea. Not a vacation really. I'm so excited for the 1 hour car ride. It's free knitting time! And, if there is a ton of family around, they like to steal the baby. MORE free knitting time. :)
Speaking of Johnathan, the little monkey turned 9 months yesterday! He started crawling a week ago, and it's been go go GO! Ever since. He had his 9 month checkup yesterday. He's 30(!!) inches long (94%) and 17 lb 14 oz (11%) He's a string bean. :) I will leave you with a little picture of the ham.
FREE YARN!!!
Did I get your attention? :)
Okay. So you all remember how my hubby is in that
little comic contest? Well, it's the final week and he's doing a push to get out the vote. So I thought I'd do my part. If you go, vote for him, make him your favorite, and give him all the stars you can, I will in turn, give you yarn. for free! I will let you pick out anything I have in
my stash on
ravelry. Don't forget my
sale/trade page.
All I need is for you to do this, go make an account, do the vote and favorite thing. Friend my hubby. Then post here with your user name and your top 2 choices. On March 1st I will have a uninvolved party use a random number
thinggy to pick the winner. And I will send you one of your two choices. If you've already voted, thank you! Now friend my hubby and put your info here. Hell, if you have a Significant Other, get them to vote, and post here too. It'll double your chances.
Oh! And if you could, pass the word along, that would be great! Heck, I'd even give you an extra entry. Go post it on your blog, and link it back to me. That would be great! The more word out I can get, the better. I'd love to see a bunch of knitters win it for my hubby. :)
-I'll give you an 'entry' on the stash page. Meaning if there are 4 skeins of lace weight or 5 skeins of wool, you'll get all of them. Not just one.
-I'm pretty sure some of this yarn will never make it to the sale page. So this is the only way you'll get a couple skeins. That and you sneaking into my house at night to get it.
-I do have a few
skeins of sock yarn not in yet. Some vesper, and
sKitches and some lovely German stuff. Pick 'surprise me' and I'll send you one of those. :)
Thank you all. And good luck!
