Winning Stuff Is Cool

Yesterday was the great End Of Summer Party at the library. A lot of things suck here, A LOT, but not the library. It is one of the best libraries I have ever been to. Granted it is small, but it is a wonderful place to study, they have excellent WiFi and a really cool inter-library loan system. I once got a knitting book from Alaska! can you imagine?
So, they had their party and as you can see, Little G won herself a prize playing baby bingo. Woo-Hoo.
















And..............Lizzie won 2nd place for having the most minutes read! Yea! It was pretty nice loot. I know because it is currently scattered all over my living room.




Them, a prize drawing!!Lizzie won a set of play golf clubs! Which have been used to torture and harass my cat all over greater Utah!
In other news, next week looks like it may become the big house hunting trip in Alabama. I am excited but after reading the very depressing news concerning credit and mortgages, I am not holding my breath on finding a house. I am a born pessimist. Boeing is quick, they waste no time. Now they are telling us we need to be there by mid-September. Jeez! Slow down.
Have a great weekend everyone!
p.s. Guess what? I AM STILL NOT BELIEVING THAT CRAP ABOUT SNAPE AND HARRY'S MOM!!!

Woo-Hoo and a New Sock

Well, I must admit after countless do-overs and frogging, I gave up on the SWTC Tofutusies yarn. Sorry, I am grumpy and it was hard for me to follow. Probably because I am surrounded by screaming kids all day and I was losing count in the pattern. So, I gave up and CO these easy guys. This is the infamous Panda Cotton in Baby Blues. I actually like this yarn. It is a little splitty, but what cotton yarn isn't? And it is so soft..........I couldn't believe it. I really like the colors, too. The blues are so subtle and I love the way they blend into each other. All in all, I really like it. I am using the Cross Hatch Lace pattern from More Sensational Socks by Charlene Schurch. What a great sock knitting book. That woman is a genius, enough said.



This is what a job offer from Boeing looks like!!! Yea! I am still in shock. So, hopefully.............
