Merry Christmas!

I'm sitting here, just finished the last Christmas scarf! It's A Wonderful Life is on. aaaah that's nice.
DS and I went to my sis's house for dinner tonight...(her homemade soup and rolls yum!) and did the gift exchange! She and her DH got me a winder and swift, and I got her a winder and talked her DH into getting her the swift....So, we literally exchanged gifts really....the same gifts pretty funny. So Long story short...we're happy knitters tonight!!!!

Tomorrow.... a nice quiet day with my son, more gifts, movies, dinner with son and brother!!!

Hope everyone else is having as nice a holiday as we are!

Happy Holidays!

dang sidebar

for some reason, my sidebar starts where mine main blog ends at the bottom of the page. I don't know why, nor do I know how to fix it. Any ideas?

on a good note, the internet and cable are back on. The company (who shall remain nameless) disconnected the wrong house....yeah.

Darned Cable Internet

So, I came home for lunch today, turned on the TV to find that my cable is all messed up. I'm hesitant to say it's "out" because, there is some semblance of some sort of signal there, but that's it...fuzzy, black, menu, no menu...what the #@$%^&*&*? I have no idea....and why are the first four symbols a link? A link to where??? Probably a link straight to hell.... don't click on it my friends don't do it!!!

Anyhow...if the cable is "out" my internet is also out. So I am right this minute sitting at Barnes and Noble (it's ok to click on this one...I think), sipping a pumpkin spice latte which will no doubt fuel my all night knitting. And, I had to PAY for internet here.... 3.95 for 2 hours!!! And it keeps disconnecting!!! Damn the cable company!!!!

Ok, I'm over it.. hehehe. I'm going home to knit!!!

OH.... and one more thing.....Please my friends... Pay a little visit to www.yarnharlot.ca and read todays blog post....don't forget your tissues.... I think Ms. Pearl-Mcphee is a wonderful person! Can you give?

Happy weekend everybody!

Busy Busy Busy

Well sorry it's been a while since I last blogged (Teri)!!! Like everybody else out there...I've been busy!!! Working, Knitting, Shopping, Playing! Yay...

THANK YOU Secret Pal!!! Today, I received an audio book from my secret pal. It's "Next" by Michael Crichton. I can't wait to get started on it...while I finish knitting Christmas presents!! Yay thanks!!!! What a great gift!

Also along the SP9 line....I sent off my pals December/Christmas package... she should get it next week....weeeeee.

And....Happy Birthday to Pseudobunny, my SP8 spoiler....watch your doorstep tomorrow! UPS Rocks, next day delivery! Of course it helps that we're in the same state!

Yesterday.... I went winetasting with a friend. We went to Amador County. Favorite of the three we visited was Montevina in/near the little town of Plymouth on Hwy 49. I highly recommend it for those of you who like wine.
Favorite Montevina Red: Barbera, no, Syrah, no Barbera, ooooh they were both really good!

Tonight...my DS came over, he helped put up my Christmas Tree and helped decorate it too. it's very cute! Thank you DS.

Hope you all are having a great week! Thirteen more days people!!! Yikes....knit away!

aaaahhh the weekend

Yay, the weekend is here! I'm trying to decide which UFO to finish first. I was going to spend Saturday morning raking leaves in my yard, but... when I got home from work tonight there was my nice nephew Jesse in my front yard, raking! Yay, I don't have to rake tomorrow... So.... I'll be knitting, and Christmas shopping, but mostly knitting.

I have two scarves to finish, slippers to felt, an afghan to finish, a sock in progress, oh... and a sweater to finish, and another pair of socks to start and finish. hmmm think I'll finish all that this weekend???? Me either. But....that's ok.
