Still waiting

I thought I'd have something to blog about - oh, say, last Thursday or Friday at the latest. The clerk at the PO said "two to three days." Right. And now tomorrow's a holiday, so maybe Tuesday...which will be Eight Days. Since it's a surprise, I will still have to wait.

Meanwhile -

1. I'm nearly finished reading "Knitting Rules!" Loads of fun!

2. I'm working on the heel flap for the second Embossed Leaves sock [for mother.] I took the finished first sock along when I visited her several days ago and it fit Perfectly!

3. It was DD1's bd yesterday. Our tradition is that we all go out to a movie and meal together. This time it was Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and then to Olive Garden.

4. I've had 23 radiation treatments - 5 to go.

5. I'm officially on vacation until June 5th. I know the time will go Much Too Quickly.

6. DD3 is transfering back to the local university for fall semester, and she can move into an apt. on campus on Tuesday. So, tomorrow I'm taking a road trip down there to load up as many boxes that will fit into my Protege. Just to get them out of the way. Her boyfriend has a trailer, so they'll do the rest of the moving on Tuesday- and estimate they'll have to make two trips. Luckily she lives less than 100 miles away.

7. While I'm down at DD3's current digs tomorrow, I'll see if at least one of the 2 LYSs is open - and then stop by :-)

Knitting Rules!

The book by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Knitting Rules! The Yarn Harlot Unravels the Mysteries of Swatching, Stashing, Ribbing & Rolling to Free Your Inner Knitter, arrived! A gift from my BFF Joanne.

I've read the first chapter so far. Luv it!
