Random thoughts for a Monday morning

Would it be appropriate for me to hug the contractor?

And, would it be odd for me to ask for the afternoon off so I can go home and take a shower?

Do you have any idea how nice it has been not to carry my goods across town and shower at the Y?

Do you know how funny it is to see my very tall beloved attempt to bathe in our tiny, tiny tub?

Now for some notes that just might more sense, but are certain to still bore you:

-I haven't had an opportunity to thank Cate for hosting the Nudge-Nudge Punny Valentine Contest. The prize was amazing: a copy of Knitscene, an itty-bitty book light, a beautiful bookmark, a handy-dandy one that lets you mark not only the page, but the line as well, and a neato little note pad. That Cate, she's so thoughtful and amazing.

-I have been enjoying my commute much more thanks to some CDs exchanged with Emily, Madretz and Farmwife. Thanks guys, this has been so much fun. . . you are so creative and your taste in music so wonderfully eclectic. I am sorry it took so long for me to thank you publicly.

-I finished my Green (Brown) Gable. All that is left is a little tucking in of the ends. I am slightly disappointed. Not in the pattern, but instead in the way my body looks in it. I had somehow expected the sweater to work miracles.

-I started on Glee and am so pleased with the way it's going. I am using Knitpicks Andean Treasure in Sunset Heather. Really loving the feel of the yarn and the color will be nice this fall.

-In addition, I have the yarn to make this sweater, with the base color being a beautiful brown. The yarn is incredible in texture: a wool/silk blend. Hope to work on it tonight at knit group.

-Since it seems we have made big strides in moving toward a new house, I am suddenly overcome with the desire to rid our current abode of anything and everything. I have plans to bring a box home with me each week, to fill said box and then donate the box of goods. I wish you guys all lived nearby, because I'd plan a big ole swap with my books and other stuff. Sound like fun?
