Today I will be Grandma-ing. It's my first day alone with the Peanut. Jenni is working as is Bill so I get EllieMay all to myself.
The other Grandma days, Jenni was here doing laundry, so when EllieMay was hungry I just passed her off to momma. Today, it will be just her and I. Jenni has a stash of milk in the freezer, so I'm sure we'll be ok. Oddly, I'm a bit nervous!
I have a few projects to work on while Peanut is down, just in case and Jenni is only a few blocks away if I can't get her to take the bottle.
I finally posted two things on Flickr for sale, but I should take off the baby rainbow tights since EllieMay is wearing them now.
What I really should do is photograph everying in the tubs and post those! More than two tubs of knit items, hats, socks, sweaters, blankets, gloves, mittens, scarves. Now to set up a photo box or something. What does everyone else do? Special place, just anywhere? Where do you photograph your goods that you post?

Now It's June
I know, it's been awhile. I've been busy.
I'm not a dedicated blogger like Norma or Bron or Yarn Harlot, I'm such a slacker.
And because of this you can't see pictures of my garden nor any of the knitting projects finished. So I guess I'll just have to tell you about it all.
The garden is in--2 rows of potatoes, 2 rows of tomatoes, a row of green beans, 2 rows of corn, a triangle of onions and one of raspberries, a goodly crop of strawberries, some rhubarb and a lovely tractor tire of herbs.
Completed knitting projects include: tube socks in pink, a snug tank for R, a sleeveless sweater for me and a pair of pants from Rachelle Moffetts pants pattern (knit, frogged, and knit again because a small swatch didn't portray the true nature of the yarn in a large garment).
Healthwise I've been slacking a bit on the low carbs and walking. I'm getting in about 3 walks per week instead of the desired 5-6 walks. Carbs (pasta, potatoes, bread, rice, white flour stuff) are now on the list of no-nos, but they've been sneaking in the the eating plan on a daily basis.
Several weeks ago my allergies kicked up and I thought I was going to die from the coughing. After a regular check up, the new doc recommended I switch to a different high blood pressure med as one of the side effects of the one I was taking was coughing. Damn, and it was working well and it was cheap!
The G'Ma word may still be in my future. J is late again, about 4 weeks late now. Keep your fingers and toes crossed that things go well this time. She's a young, healthy woman with no bad habits.

Announcement
Just last Saturday at knitting club the grammas were all googling about their slew of grandbabies. They teased me saying, "just wait, you never know!" "Blah, Blah, blah, I'm just gonna have grand-dogs", I said. Like I said, that was Saturday.
On Sunday evening Jenni and Bill stopped by to say they got a new apartment in Petoskey. Good news because that's where they both work. More $$ for rent, less expense in fuel!! I was very glad for them. I gave Jenni the sockies I had knit for the kids (her friends FOUR kids, 18 mo, to 7 yrs) and she casually says, "You can keep make stuff."
"Yea, I know, blah, blah, blah," I said.
"I'm pregnant," she says.
I said something like, "AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" and gave her a hug and kiss.
Bill just sat there with a s--t eating grin on his face!
She is 6 weeks along now and I hope Connie doesn't read this until Jenni gets a chance to tell her.
This will be our first grandbaby. I think I'm excited!!
As for the new revised eating plan, things are going well, the first week, I lost 1 1/2 lbs. Saturday is weight in day and I've been walking 4 days a week for 40-50 minutes. I can't wait until the roads defrost completely so I don't have to shuffle across the icy parts. I'll just have to wear grub clothes and slop in the mud instead!
Oh, as for the grandmother thing, we're looking for a different name than 'grandma'. These are the current options: NaNa, NeeNee, (that goes with NeeCee), Gram, Oma, Munga, Bitch, Old Lady (I was formerly Hey Lady), Grammy, Me Maw, G-Ma. I'm taking nominations as I'm gonna be the coolest grandmother ever!!
