The Birthday goes on...

My SP 10 sent me another box today. She knit me the washcloth. I have made some washcloths but not like this. The pattern gives it a nice bumpy texture. I also got Mason Dixon Knitting. I have not had a chance to read it yet but the photos are beautiful and there are many fun patterns to try. there is also a little knitting basket that I hung up on my mirror and a box of candy! yummy! Thank you so much SP 10. You are the best!

Birthday recap

So I got to work on Friday to find that my friend Karen bought me a tiny birthday cake. It was just enough for me and my 2 girlfriends to share after lunch Yummy. She is such a sweetheart.I had knit her a bag when she got her 1 year chip, she uses it for her books and notes for her meetings. one of the gals liked it so much my friend asked me to make one for her. This will be the first time I have knit a commission. Does that make me a professional knitter? Not! I wish!

So back to the b-day recap... Hubby and the MK's took me to a great new pizza place for dinner. the pizza was almost as good as we got in Chicago, nothing compares to Chicago style pizza but it was as close as I have ever had here in the Heartland. Then when we got home...Presents! I got the new J R R Tolkien book from MB, new running shoes from MG and Hubby got me new pots and pans to go with the new dishes I got for Christmas. The new pans are red (of course) much like the ones I got my folks last year. My MIL sent me some $$ So I will be going to the LYS. I have no idea what I am after there I am just going to spend my b-day $$ on guilt free yarn!!!! I know there are a few cards still in the mail. So all in all not a bad day...
We are getting yet more rain. Hubby can barely keep up with the grass. I do hope it stops soon.
My scenery warehouse is so humid all my soft goods are damp, Let me tell ya... that is bad news!
I only knit 2 rows last night, Bill Marr was on and he is just too funny.
gotta go I hear banging...

I have the best Hubby ever!

Hubby took me out tonight for my birthday! We went out to one of our favorite places to eat and stuffed ourselves on pasta and then to see Billy Joel!!! It was great. He played all of my faves... including The Entertainer and Captain Jack. Boy Billy was on tonight! he played great and is a really funny guy. The highlights for me were the above numbers as well as We Didn't Start the Fire and New York State of Mind. Also of note was Angry Young Man which he did not play in concert for ever.
Hubby knew I had always wanted to see him so he got the tix as an early birthday gift...and he got me a tee shirt and he is driving the babysitter home. I love that guy!
