First of all, lets get the bad news out of the way. Penelope has gotten an icky staph infection on her little chubby legs. How awful! Apparently this thing has been going around her school. It's NOT the superscary antibiotic resistant staph, thank goodness. So she will be better soon- but I feel just terrible for her. She went to the doctor and they lanced the boils (I know! Poor baby!) and they are giving her meds. The funny part is her telling off the doctor- apparently when he was finished she told him "You *hurt* me! And you didn't even say you were sorry!" I can just picture her with her little fists on her hips and her 'indignant Penny' face on...





I am getting farther along in my Xmess knitting- I promise to post pics later! I promised mom scarves for her office mates. I've just got two more on that list. Tomly's is started and then all I have left is Trevor and Davely. Trevor's is going to be my absolute favorite. I had some Noro left over in my stash- it goes from a lovely navy into soft browns. Noro is definetly some of my favorite yarn to knit up- it takes such little effort to make it look incredible. http://www.noroyarns.com/ It can be a little pricey- especially when you are buying the silks- but (I think) very much worth it because you always get plenty of yardage.



Speaking of knitting- I am thrilled to finally have a Thursday evening free so I can go to Stitch and Bitch at In the Loop. Now I just have to pry Amy away from whatever she's up to and make her go with me. Hear me Amy? I am coming to get you! I have to remember to leave my wallet at home though. Having your S&B at the local yarn store can be a blessing it can also be problematic. I swore to myself that I wouldn't buy anymore 'stash' yarn when I moved and filled up four boxes. I don't even *want* to know how much all of that adds up to.

I am on my way to yet another holiday get together. I'm alrady hitting the gin (bad girl!) but I think I deserve it. I got all of my shopping done, the knitting is proceeding at a rapid place and the food will be finished soon. I am ready to kick Christmas's pansy ass. I'm also relishing the time off from work. I wont be a cubicle dweller again until Wednesday.
