Summer Games

I'm in the dkKnits sock club, where she dyes each member's yarn on your specific interests. She put together her own version of Olympic Games (nothing to do with the Ravelympics).

My favorite so far has been Hibernation Hurdles, where I sumbitted this picture:



All of my hibernating WIPS :)

I'll post more after work!

Look at those waves!

We went white water rafting last weekend. I think we were on the water for 4 hours, it was so much fun! I didn't fall out either.

It's August???

Ahh, the weekend. I can't believe it's August already. Where has the summer gone?


I just got back from The Windy City, Chicago. It was my first time up there and we had a good time (me and my co-worker). I'm in town for 2 weeks, then I head back to Chattanooga, TN and Middle of Nowhere, AL. Oh, and throw in studying for the CPA and having to knit for a sock swap...

I still have the yucky yellow bathroom walls. That might have to wait until Dec. when I have more time. I have the color picked out, paint brushes bought, and putty knife ready to go.

This weekend is our sales tax holiday so I'm going to get new pants for work. I hate buying the larger size, but I'm desperate. Must go to gym more.

Diego

One of my favorite pictures. I love him so much and hate to be gone for more then a few days. He's my 18.5 pound baby :)

Not really an update

I'll update one of these days.... Been busy and I head to the beach on Sunday. I'll try to update before then!

MIA

Yes, I know I have been missing a while. There is really no reason for it though, just havent gotten around to blogging (although I have been reading your blogs regularly).

I'm traveling more with work now, to Illinois, Alabama and Tennessee. I'll be out of town the next 2 weeks to do walkthroughs. I went up to IL a couple weeks ago for an inventory. That was pretty cool since the client is a manufacturer of metal items - I got to see the foundry where they melt brass. Here's a pic from IL:

Yes, a whole lot of nothing.

Then I broke my deadbolt on my front door. I put the key in and it got stuck, so when I pulled it out it pulled out the core of the lock. And of course the back door deadbolt was broken (couldn't get in from the outside). I was locked out for about an hour before I was able to get the core back in
just so to get it to unlock. It was a Sunday night so I had to wait until after work on Monday to go to Lowe's and buy new deadbolts. And I replaced it myself :)





I had to frog JP's sock because it was just too small. She could get it on, but it would be better a little bigger. I have pics of that too:





Fun times. I also have pictures of my two Eye of Partridge heels. One was slipped knit-wise, the other purl-wise. But that will be next time!

40 is a Great Number

Because when you are working 55-60 hours for 3 months 40 hours sounds like no work at all. I don't know what I'm going to do after work now! I do want to sign up for kickboxing classes again, since Jazzercise doesnt fit into the schedule anymore.

I have progress on the Cable-Twist socks, that's what I've been working on exclusively. I want to pick up the SotSii again soon too. I like the finished product. Not sure what I'm going to do next. Probably mom's mother's day gift. I don't think she reads this, but just incase... no more detail here.
