Spring is here, Maybe!

Well...that is a deep subject. It was beautiful here last week and then this week it snowed! Of course.

My grandparents are back from Florida. They have already worn me out and it has only been a little less than a day. I spent yesterday helping them unpack--and remembering patience..apparently it is a virtue. Uhm.

The socks are really coming along. I have turned the heels on both! Yippeeee! To bad my hands hurt from raking gravel for two hours today!

Sorry this is short. I have too much do, and not enough time.

Schustie out!

What?!? Snow Again?

Mother Nature's persistance at continuing to produce crappy weather is really beginning to get on my last nerve. This is ridiculous; it is almost the middle of April for crying out loud! (Sidebar: Why do we say crying out loud? What is the history behind that?

Anyhow, I am busy planning our annual soup contest. This is a fun tradition in my hometown. I am sooo excited! I am coming up with the prizes as we speak! This contest started as a chili contest in my parents basement when I was in college. You know how these things start.....Someone is bragging about how their recipe is best and etc.....We have moved on from chili to soup......with I think the last contest having about 25-30 entries! Yummy and oh so fun!

The Green socks are coming along nicely. I have 6 inches on each leg--which is just under halfway for the leg itself. I am finally having fun with these d*** things.

I am 10% done with my afghan. It is going to be soooooo pretty. I might need to make one for me next.

Well I better get to class. I am going to have to struggle to stay awake tonight.

Toodles!

I ain't no Fool!

Happy April Fools Day!

And to my Uncle Jeff--Happy Birthday!

So, going back to classes was really hard. Spring break was no break for me. I spent the week SPRING cleaning the basement and upstairs. I am thinking of becoming a professional carpet cleaner person. What do you think?

I am breaking up with winter. I am talking about the season, not a guy. Just a heads up. I am done, I am throught with him. He needs new material. I need a new relationship and Spring is looking like a winner to me! All fresh and colorful. Yummy!

I am currently sitting in my tuesday evening class, totally boring.......*Yawn*.

My SFS socks are knitting up very quick! I love the new green color, so much easier than the black yarn. The afghan will be very pretty and is knitting up quick too. Just looking for a easy dress pattern for a 18-24 mth old. Any ideas?

Take care and happy knitting.
