Um.. or something. Yes.. its that time of year again when I ramble on the blog every day for 30 days and you silently beg for me to shut the f–k up. I’ve also decided to unofficially take part in Na-knit a sweater in 30 days-mo* in hopes that I’ll be able to finish a hand-knit sweater this year. I’m doing the Tree Jacket and I’m working on the cowl neck at the moment. I’ve also joined NoroVember.. and I’m thinking of doing one of those stripey 2 skein scarves or some fingerless mitts. In short, welcome to November.. I’m suddenly a joiner.
I actually MISSED posting a “Happy Halloween/Samhain” message yesterday because I spent the entire day out with MIL for my belated birthday lunch. We were supposed to go shopping but we ended up at Olive Garden for the “unlimited soup, salad & breadstick lunch” and were nearly unable to move from the booth after putting away entirely too much food. We DID get to finish up winter clothing shopping for Munchkin (thanks to the kind monetary donations of great-grandparents) who decided that NOW would be the perfect time to grow out of EVERYTHING he owns. I’ve been sending the poor child to school in pants that are like 4 inches too short ever since the weather got too cool for shorts and I even tried to take down the hems of a few pairs of pants to no avail. I seriously considered sending him to school in a pair of camo waffle knit ‘long johns’ with shorts over the top but figured that the school probably already thinks Chez Mousie is a crazy enough place.
* I was too lazy to go look it up and find out what it was actually called. (its NaKniSweMo I think)
