Things I never mentioned

  • Last week, I walked into an open kitchen cabinet door and developed a considerable lump on my skull. Thank goodness my hair covered the inevitable angry bruise.
  • Our new neighbors loved the cookies! Unfortunately, I met them after walking Ted on the hottest weekend we’ve had in a while and it was not pretty.
  • On my flight to San Francisco, I had the window seat. The guy in my row on the aisle apparently had a violent full-body twitch. At first, I thought some kid was kicking me, but, no, we were all shaking. It was awkward.
  • During my flight home, I realized that I have the beginnings of a cold. The sore throat is a clear giveaway.
  • I’m spending most of today at a volleyball tournament to support the team JG coaches. Oh, and JG’s parents will be there, too.
  • Last year, I made scarves for the three seniors on the volleyball team and almost didn’t finish in time. This year, I just about fell over when I found out that there are TEN seniors on the team. To date, I have 1.8 scarves completed and the season ends in 6 weeks.
  • Tonight, we’re driving down to Williamsburg — my in-laws, JG, and me — for a friend’s wedding on Saturday.
  • I plan on knitting for at least 10 of those 14 total driving hours.
  • I am really glad that I have Labor Day to not labor at all.

knitting in the car — makes me carsick just thinking about it!

I’m one of those lucky few who can sleep, read, and do whatever else in any kind of moving vehicle. Unfortunately, I didn’t count on having no daylight on Friday for knitting, but Scarf #3 is in the works as we speak!

You are such a good wife. The first year Joel coached his rowing team, I made them rice crispy treats with M&Ms to take with them on a long bus trip. joel dutifully took them and distributed them and I was so proud of myself… and then I tasted the stash I’d kept for myself (since that’s what baking is all about)… let’s just say, if Joel threw them in the trash and just told me he gave them out, I wouldn’t blame him at all.

Aw, that’s cute. But I totally agree that keeping a stash for home and distributing the majority is what baking is about. Now that the school year has started, I always have an open teachers’ room for tasting if need be.

You and your scarves and your pi-shaped cookies. You’re the best wife a high school teacher / coach could ask for! Have a great weekend.

Haha, I will pass this along to JG to make sure he is aware of my awesomeness. :)

You’re so crafty!

I’m glad the neighbors liked the cookies. But then, how could they not?

That is a very good question, indeed.

Of course they loved the cookies! My husband loved them so much that I will be making them again this weekend!

Ooh, weekly giant cookies - love it.
