super exciting stuff

Not working has it's benefits. I get to do exciting things all day, like wash & sort out the utensil drawer. I know, you're jealous.

I also get to do things like meet a friend for coffee & knitting. I even initiated the meeting, which is just so not me. I find myself doing a lot of things lately that are not me, just so that I don't go crazy with boredom. I'm not bored a lot. My sister-in-law described me as

'a self contained unit', which I choose to interpret as 'self-entertaining'. I've always been good at entertaining myself, whether it's by reading, knitting, scrapping, watching tv, surfing the web. I pass the time. Sometimes too much of it.

Here's my progress so far on the baby blanket. I just started decreasing. It might be a little on the smallish side, but will be big enough to cover up in the stroller or car seat. I'm going to add a cool blue border when I'm all finished. It's the softest blanket ever. The yarn is called 'pj's', so you know it's cozy. It sheds a ton though, and after coffee I got up and was covered in fuzz balls. Hopefully when I wash it, it will stop with the shedding. We can't have people thinking the baby has a condition.

I'm annoyed to hear that we have a major storm on the way tonight and thru the day tomorrow. We have our girl scout cookie booth tomorrow, and it's going to suck if the weather is bad. I can see us selling 8 boxes of cookies, and standing around the rest of the time.

First thing Wednesday morning I'm picking up the 75 cases of cookies that were pre-ordered. I then sort them into orders, and hopefully everyone comes to pick them up. This year I think I'm going to unload them & sort them in the garage, especially if we get all the snow. Lugging them in the house & then back out again blows. I don't need all that muck tracked into my house either. Ick.

Until later!
