School...

Is going well. I got A's on three midterms and a B on the one I didn't study for, so I'm happy. And my week of death is nearly over. I have work and class still today, but only work and one late class tomorrow. My week sucks from Monday through Wednesday, and then it's easy as pie.

And I have an action packed weekend. Ice-skating, Irish Pubbing and Family Time. Should be a good weekend.

Now, if I can only get my camera to work...

Babies...

Time to show the babies!

This is Number One Son: Tobasco, "Toast" to his friends. He'll be 5 years in October and is the true definition of a mama's boy. He loves his snuggles and will run away anytime Zeke approaches him, crying like a little girl. His daddy calls him Lead Cat. He lands like a ton on bricks, usually on Daddy's stomach.

This is my little girl. Her name is Teriyaki. She is the most cat-like of the three. She'll accept attention when SHE wants it, not when you want to give it. She loves to tease us by lying on the floor, exposing her snow white, furry belly and when you approach to stroke it... run away!!

And then we have Tzatziki a.k.a Zeke or Poo because he can be a little shit. He's the most playful. Sometimes we suspect he may be a dog in disguise. He loves to "help." The best place in the world to take a nap is his mama's lap--when she's knitting.


Notice anything interesting about their names?

It Came!

My RSC 1.0 has arrived and it is beautiful. The colorway is "Monsoon" and an amazing blend of lime green, grey, and medium brown. Almost toffee brown, but not as warm. I also got a nifty binder, pattern, a keychain of "Emergency Sock Yarn" in the same colorway and a coupon for 10% off! I'm so ordering more of the STR yarn. It's superwash merino. It's surprisingly soft.

I can't wait to start my socks, but I need to go to the yarn store and get new needles. I don't have Size 0 DPN's.

On an unrelated note, the babies have a new toy:

That's Zeke on the top of the pagoda.


Homework time...

Sigh

My sock yarn has not arrived yet, so I tried to take pictures of my Christmas yarn only to find out the batteries die after 6 pictures. Brand new batteries. I hate my hand-me-down digital. So you get the only decent picture.

Sigh...

Update @ 6:00PM: Still no STR. :-(

It's coming!!!!

Rockin' Sock Club 2007 1.0 should be arriving any day! I'm giddy with anticipation!
