Thankful

February was really a roller coaster month here at Casa KiP.

There were a lot of personal things--some good, some bad(which I'm not delving into here). All of which caused me to do a lot of reflecting on what I am thankful for in my life.

First, my husband. I love this man and no matter what may go right or wrong in our lives I KNOW that we can get through anything together and I'm grateful for that everyday. I'm also thankful that I'm married to someone who sometimes really gets what will make my day:

For example, the Terrible Towel and Incredibad CD he got me for Valentine's Day. Those things may not sound romantic but they really made me happy--the man "gets" me what can I say?

Second, the kiddos. Diva and Rage. I have no idea how my life would be without them. Very, very empty I'm sure. They drive me nuts sometimes but they definitely make everyday better.

Finally, the crew. It seems rare in life that you meet a group of people who can make you laugh, give you hope, and keep you sane--no matter how insane things seem to be going. My knitting crew are that group of people for me. I have no idea what I would do without them--really, you guys are the best.

I need to thank them specifically for helping me leave February on a positive note. They took me out to dinner and spoiled me with gifts for my (cough, cough) 40th birthday.

Stacey, Tiffany, Jeni, Genia, Terrie, Michelle, Mary Kay, Sam, Wanda, and Whitney(thanks for the book--I can't wait to read it)

Thanks for the gift certificates--they will be put to good use and you are far too generous. And thanks for listening to me vent about life and such--it really makes I difference to know that I have a group of people who will listen to me rage and still be my friends :) Love you guys!

Some of the best gifts in life are not purchased with money but with friendship and understanding. I feel blessed to have some of that in my life.

I have to tell you ditto. You are a great friend and we'll always be here for you and I know it's vice versa. Thanks for being a great friend. Glad you enjoyed your birthday and I hope you spoil yourself a little. xoxoxo

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Stashalong--Week 2 of 13

Image
How did everyone fair after week 1? My utmost respect goes out to all of you with the fortitude to actually enter a yarn shop and not buy yarn--as I have commented to others, you won't even see me near one in the next 3 months. I'm having so much fun popping in on everyone and I'm not pointing any fingers but I have read some interesting comments and some knitters can be very sneaky indeed--that's all I'll say. I want to introduce you to jillz ; she missed the sign ups so she is not a official member, BUT she has earned the title of "the Rogue Stashalonger". She is trying to take things one month at time. I know we all have our temptations, but she---wait for it---works in a yarn shop! As I told her, I would have cheated before I finished typing if I was working in a yarn shop(much like "The Bet" episode of Seinfeld). Little Rage's Sweater Kim : This week I have actually finished the sleeves for Little Rage's sweater and I have the...

Out of Town

Stashalongers : there will not be a post this Tuesday and you have my deepest apologies for that. My Grandfather passed away this morning and I need to get to NY. Everything should be back to normal for our Week 13 of 13 post on the 28th :) I know a few of you have jumped off the wagon and I'll have all that in my post next time. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes--he passed peacefully in his sleep and I think that's the best way to go. If there is a lighter side to this, my husband will be alone with my kiddos for more than 12 hours for the first time. You have no idea how badly I want to hide cameras around the house to see what goes on. Happy knitting everyone--no jumping off the wagon while I'm gone! Stacey and Cynthia --my gushing post about your very generous and much appreciated gifts will be up before I go--hopefully! If not then it will be up as soon as I get back :)
