I really love living in Florida. I mean, to be so close to this…
What a blessing!
I did not plan on going to the beach though. It’s funny how you think you’re going to settle in for a quiet, peaceful day at home…and then your plans change.
Can you say teens???
Soccer Chick has had friends over at the house non-stop…ever since she got grounded. It’s funny how we put our children on restriction…only to find ourselves grounded too.
Part of Soccer Chick’s restriction is that she is not allowed to go places without either Mr. AuburnChick or myself accompanying her. Exactly what has this meant?
Well, Mr. AuburnChick went to see the movie Wally last night. I begged off so I could stay home and knit. Today, it was my turn. Chicky wanted to go to the beach with a friend.
:::Sigh:::
I really wanted to work on a Lace Scarf, from the Debbie Bliss Pure Silk book. Here’s my progress so far.
The camera does not do justice to the colors. It is a very rich colorway.
I also wanted to work on my sock. Instead, the sock took a trip to the beach.
It was actually too hot to knit, though, so the sock went back in the knitting bag. Instead, I read a couple chapters of The Friday Night Knitting Club. It’s a good book so far. I’m just sad that I haven’t been able to devote more time to it. I usually devour books, but ever since going back to school, I found recreational reading to be…um…not quite my favorite thing.
When we left the beach, I found myself way too tired to do much. It was much hotter than I expected, and I didn’t stay hydrated enough. I wanted to go home and take a nap, but we had promised to take Mr. AuburnChick out to dinner to celebrate his birthday. He had been waiting all day. So we went back out to the beach for dinner. Soccer Chick then proceeded to have a few friends over afterwards, so that took care of the rest of the day.
:::Sigh:::
Guess I’ll have to knit during the NASCAR race tomorrow. 🙂
Oh, and before I sign off for this post, a teensy bit of yarn porn…
I received this yarn in the mail. The yarn is Naturally Vero from Fiber Trends, color #18. I purchased it from this site. It’s for a hat for Soccer Chick’s teammate. A special request. I found the pattern I’m going to use in the Creative Knitting, January 2008, issue.
Ahh…I love the UPS man!
