Mood - O.K. Yeah is Friday. My daughter just called--- Sunday is the big day!!! They are going to enduce.. if she doesn’t have him before. I’m gonna be a grandma!!.

WIP - Catie’s socks are coming along although I seem to have ladder running up the inside of one of the socks. I hope I can tighten. I went to the Melissa Leapman seminar on Monday night. It was great. She is a terrific teacher. She had hand outs that made sense. She didn’t rush us and helped us along. I wish I had gotten to go to some of her other classes. I don’t think I’ll get to use information from “The Niffy Necks” for awhile… but who knows. I did buy her new book... she will ship them next week. I’m going to LYS for knitting tonight. I helped them move last week and I’m anxious to see how the new shop looks. She’s going to try and put some of the yarns by color not by brand. I think people will balk… who know. Alaskans are set in thier ways. I went to a shop in Seattle like that…the people there where SNOBS. What ever you do if you go there… do not ask “Where’s the sock yarn?”. LOL.

What I’m Doing - I plan on working on my flower’s this weekend so I will be spending $$$ at local greenhouse. I sure hope it warms up!!

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - "At Risk" by Patrica Cornwelli. I was a little disappointed.. but I guess with only 4 cd’s she could not get into detailed like she usually does.

Weather - High today 55 Low tonight 36 - The weekend forecast is cloudy and rain. Sundays high is suppose to be 60.....yeah right.

Mood - O.K. Yeah the weekend it almost here!!!! And the forecast is warm and warmer still!

WIP - The rib warmer, Ballet V-neck sweater, Catie’s socks, another ponytail hat, a baby sweater… and 3 swatches of the 5 needed for my “Nifty Necks” class. I bought yarn this week to start on slippers for my son-in-law so I have to get them started.

What I’m Doing - My LYS is moving .. tonight and tomorrow so I’m going to try and go over for an hour or so tonight b/4 EHS softball game, and again tomorrow morning. Then yard work and more EHS softball. I’m looking forward to Sunday church and relaxing.

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - Split Second by David Baldacci. I only give it 2.5* .
Not very interesting.

Weather - High today 53 Low 38 The weekend forecast is Mostly sunny… Sunday might get up to 57 -- yeah it rocks~!!

Lastly today is the socks I'm knitting for my niece. She only 9 and has a long (8 7/8") foot. This is some yarn I got from good friend who also knits lovely socks.

Mood/What's UP - O.K. - I'm taking it one day at a time. - I find myself wanting to dialing my mom, or thinking "I wonder what mom would say?" It takes time .... I know but right now I'm just trying to get back to "normal". On top of everything else our little doggie "Freida" got sick right after my mom passed away. We got everything under control and she was doing o.k. Things we're looking up and then she went into heart failure and we had to put her down. It was very hard for me and my son ... especially on the heal of my mom's death. I'm working with the High School softball team again this spring so that's keeping me busy and my mind other places. I'm waiting for the birth of my first grandchild!!! I can't wait.

WIP/On My Needles - Since the last time I posted .... I'm still working on the sweater for my daughter.... the V-Neck is the problem and the Yarn shop where I took the class is out of business. I'm on the right front of my "Rib Warmer" - I only have 10 more row before I cast off /with the 3 needle bind-off (I've never done before) then finish with the I-Cord bindinhg around the body. I'm waiting for my "Blue Alpac" yarn / then I can finish the baby sweater I'm knitting for my yet to be born grandson!!! I also have a pair of socks on the needles for my niece. I finished the hat for my softball buddy. I'm going to try and upload some pictures!

What Audio Books I’m Listen To - Since I last posted I've listened to 6 books .. I'm listen to "Memoirs of a GEISHA“ (5)* * * * * It's wonderful. I can't put it down. I can't wait to see the movie.

Weather - Brrr It's suppose to be spring??? Weather Bug says - 39 degrees. Snowed over night and had to brush snow off the windshield. Will be cold tonight at the girls softball game.
