Knittin' and Lovin' It

It Just Dawned On Me!

I was sitting here at the computer and I had one of those little voice moments, you know the one where you here the little voice in your head say "dude.....".  Well my little voice said "Dude wonder how far you're going to be from the Canadian border?"  Over to mapquest I go....less then two hours people....guess I need to get a passport, which by the way isn't going to be cheap.  Wonder if I can convince the government to pay for the passports?  Naw, probably not but it was a cool thought while it lasted?  :~)   Shawn looked it up and I believe for all 4 of us to get passports it's going to run us about $350-400....maybe with income tax money.

Updates, Babbling and Such

Just wanted to let everyone know that I didn't blow away yesterday.  The wind blew through here really bad until between midnight & 1 am.  At least the windows didn't rattle all night.  Today is gorgeous and sunny if not very warm.  It's only about 36 but we have high hopes to hit 52 and the sun is shinning nice and bright.
Last night I frogged several UFO's and rewound the yarn.  I'll be starting them again but for now they were just in the way.  I frogged the baby hat because I need to start it over again making it a wee bit bigged.  I frogged the 7 rows I had on the Civil War Shawl.  I'll make that one later but right now life is just in the way.  I'll probably start that one again after we move and get settled in.  I also frogged Baby Peanuts blanket....who is now Baby Blake.  :~)  I wasn't quite happy with the gauge so I will try again on needles one size bigger.  I'll be starting that one again here in the next week or so.  But that blanket is going to be a super fast knit and I may have enough yarn to make a hat and dare I say it.....Booties.  I'll be looking for a cute double point pattern.  I'm  not really thrilled with making the two needle ones though the pattern my mom had me attempt made a really cute bootie.
Did I tell you all that we are now suppose to here about our assignment selection on 27 April.  *sigh*  The military can never make up their minds what they want to do.  :~)  So it looks like we won't have to wait until mid-May to find out now.  Lets hope what they are saying is true.
