Words

Here it is Sunday, June 8 and it is a beautiful day. I am trying to have a good day. I more than anyone know how words affect someone. I am have been accused of saying the wrong thing when I shouldn't and I regret saying those words for a long time. I beat myself up more than anyone I offended. When others say things whether to be honest or just to be hurtful it comes back to haunt one. That is what happened yesterday. Words were said and feelings hurt. Here again maybe I shouldn't be writing this for all to read, but it a great way to vent. Thanks for listening.

Friends

I am complying with a friends request to update my blog. I am a bit lazy when it comes to the computer. My dear husband is usually on the computer playing poker when I am inspired to write, so instead I either sit and knit while watching TV or I will go to bed and do a sudoku puzzle. Then there is the other thing, not posting pictures of my newest grandchild. I haven't seen him in 3 weeks. Today we are going over to pick up his brother for a sleepover. It should be fun. I have a few fun activities I want to do with Andrew. He's the cute one in the Christmas sweater. Going to the zoo will be the first activity and then to Michael's for some paint. Hopefully he will want to paint a box I have for his mom and he can give it to her for fun. Back to posting pictures of the newest. I am having trouble and hope to correct that function of intelligence ASAP.

Relaxing Time

I've been home for a few hours now. I did pick up my knitting to work on it, but put it down to watch Charmed. I try to find shows I haven't seen so I can fill in the blanks. I'm currently working on a pair of socks that started out to be falling leaves off Knitty.com. The yarn I was using just didn't make that leaf statement, so I frogged it and made plain sock pattern up to the leg and I used a 5 pattern repeat from Sensional socks books2. They are turning out great.

This is the yarn Courtney gave me for Christmas.

New Photo

Here I am with balloons from my birthday party last Oct. My daughter helped me with that pictures. Now I just need to get the other photos uploaded.

Distractions

What a day ahead! It's a trip to the Bay Area to see my daughter and her husband. She's my baby and will be 28 this Wednesday. I made her a shurg out of the prettiest yarn called Zara by Filatura Di Crosa. Yes I made a few mistakes, but it is still beautiful. Hopefully, one of these days I'll get it attached so that you can view it. I was trying to complete the shurg by Christmas 2007, so I made it in March for her birthday.
As I said, I'm planning to trip on down to the Bay Area and it's 11am and I am sitting here and not preparing to get ready. Oh well, we'll leave a little later.
I also just finished my grandson's baby jacket made with Opal yarn. He is due in April. I want to make a hat and booties, but we'll see about time. I have pictures for the jacket, and hopefully that will get here on the same day as the other projects started and finished.
