Patience is a Virture

I've been such a good girl, waiting for this day to post. I didn't want t jinx it. J and B found an apartment about 2 weeks ago, but I didn't want to say anything until that actually moved in. Last night they got the key and boy did we move them fast! J had lots of stuff packed up already and her car loaded. B got home about 5 and we started loading the cars! By the time J got home ad 5:30 we had the majority of stuff loaded, just the large items left.
A 4 vehicle caravan traversed the treacherous 5 miles (downhill) to town. We unloaded boxes and tubs in the rain, stuffing them all into the tiny apartment. I returned home to find hubby eating the last of the cheese cake and complaining of hunger pangs. I zipped him into gear--Let's get this kid moved!!!! So we loaded up a few more tubs, the bed and a shelf unit. Delivered the items before they got too damp and slurpped down a piece of pizza from the kids.
Now the hard work begins--cleaning out their former room as it becomes my KNITTING/SEWING STUDIO!!!!!! 14x20 of knitting and sewing luxury!!! The small bedroom that was using before will become an extenstion of our bedroom, making a suite for the married couple.
Hurray!!!!

Disorders and Diseases


This is Jane. Jane is 6. As you can see, Jane is clearly a Chocolate Lab. Jane thinks she is a people. She can tell time; 7 p.m. is bone time. She knows what day of the week it is. Today is Saturday, today is snuggle w/mom day.
Jane was striken with an awful disease last weekend--Peanut butterus nositis, she it there on the end of her nose just above her snout? It usually occurs on evenings and weekends when crappy movies are on and her peeps are eating peanut butter and crackers. Somehow during the movie, a dollup of peanut butter migrated, through thin air, to the end of her nose. This disease causes tongue enlongation, and taste bud frustration on the dogs part and hysterical belly laughs on the humans part.
Knit-wise--SKB is coming along slowly; I've started a felted purse from Mason-Dixon and have procured a booth and one of Northern Michigan's largest craft shows the day after Thanksgiving. Wish me lots of luck, I've never done the craft show thing before!!
