Lucky Girl

Yep. That’s me! Well, besides the sick thing.

Want to hear a sappy, romantic story? Too bad. I’m gonna tell you anyway!

I had to go to Staples today to get some more photo mailers for client work. I really didn’t feel like doing it, but I threw on some clothes, my baseball cap and my favorite cozy clogs. After I got the car warmed up a little bit, I noticed that there was a CD in the 6-CD player. We don’t always have CDs in there. Sometimes the same six will languish because we’re too lazy to change them. Sometimes I get in and find that Georgie’s put in the most surprising, eclectic mix. He does have the most crazy taste in music. But I digress.

So I turn on the CD, anticipating my surprise and the first song is Waitin’ On A Sunny Day, by Bruce, of course. Now this is significant because WOASD doesn’t start any albums. So immediately I know this is a homemade CD. And homemade it was! Such love, such tenderness, such in-depth knowledge of my heart and soul. My honey left me the equivalent of the sappiest, most sentimental love letter. I had a smile from ear to ear! I am the luckiest girl! I reciprocated by leaving him an equally sappy voicemail message thanking him for being the best lover, friend, and husband a girl could ever want. I am, truly, a lucky girl. (Okay, before you want to kill me, we do have our moments. Like, for instance, the CD was in there the night before when he picked me up at the train, but I bitched him out so bad he didn’t even turn on the radio. I’m sorry honey!)

Enough about our crazy love – look what I got!

Some beautiful, beautiful needles:

Aren’t they fantastic? I bought them specifically for the Kid Silk Haze and Brie Gloves I’m going to make for my sister. I can’t wait to knit with them. Although, now I wish I had gotten some of the Pearl ones as well!

But here’s really why I’m lucky. Look at my sweet niece in her Chanukah hat!

My god – couldn’t you just eat her up? I’m dying!

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. While I was in Philly I stopped at a few LYSs – The Tangled Web, The Knit With and Rosie’s Yarn Cellar. The Tangled Web was disappointing. I bought a couple of patterns and a pair of Addis at The Knit With and at Rosie’s I bought four more skeins of Manos in the camel/pink color. Now I’m thinking I need more to make a garment. Or maybe not. I do have some great ideas for expanding on the Sophie.

My nose is running again. Thanks, by the way, for the get well wishes!
