Dennis and Caitlin came over Friday after work and we went out to dinner at the Rainforest Café for Dennis’s birthday and then bummed around Southcenter for a bit. Then Saturday and Sunday were spent moseying around the house, setting up for Christmas, working on The Dreaded Christmas Knitting, catching up on Private Practice, etc. and then all hell broke loose.
7am Sunday, my roommate came in and said he was sick. As in, really-good-friends-with-the-toilet sick. So Sunday was spent making sure he wasn’t dying, walking to the store for Pepto-Bismol and PowerAde, and watching movies with said dying man. He went to work Monday, I went to work with my mom for a few hours, and then BAM- I got sick.
Mom came over to open presents at 8am on her way home from work, and that was about as far as we got. She went home, I slept all day, Mr. Roommate slept and watched movies all day. I took Wednesday off since I wasn’t feeling well in the AM, so we eventually did errands and went grocery shopping, I did some dishes, and wow look, its Thursday already.
This is what I got for Xmas:
- 8 piece bakeware set from Mom
- 26 piece utensil set from Mom
- 3 Hallmark Ornaments from Mom
- Bath Stuff from Mom
- Chocolate Oranges and the usual from Mom
- Notebooks/pens from Mom
- Blender from Grandma Jamie
- $50 from Grandma Marcy
- $100 Bed, Bath and Beyond Gift Card from Delores
Mr. Roommate got an atomic wall clock from Mom, as well as a chocolate orange. Yeah, he’s part of the family now. Its kinda creepy. On top of that, he says we are just like Joe and Christina- a not married, but together older couple that he knows… Yeah, Merry Christmas to me!
As for the Xmas knitting, dont ask. None of it got done due to the sickness. The 100-stitch scarf is a WIP and is just under 3 feet long x.x

Still Alive.
Yes, I am alive. Honestly I have just been BUSY. School, work, commuting, looking for apartments and a new job, you name it. Im just plain freaking busy. Even so, I still have some FO pics and some fun pictures to share! Here is the Patons sock in progress next to the Showbox at the Market sign held up by Heather (shown at right)
The pic of Heather was taken at the original Starbucks in Seattle, which I had never been to, even though I practically live in Seattle. I know, it was blasphemy. So I sat outside and knitted like a geek until it got cold enough I couldnt feel my fingers and then we trekked to Starbucks and Subway while some friends of hers held our spots in line.
The show itself was just amazing. Moneta, the lead singer from Forgive Durden, The Classic Crime and Holyfield (formerly known as Tyson). It was an acoustic set, which I loved although I normally don't care too much for them. After the show I went home and vegged out on the couch with my merch that I bought and worked on the second Patons sock.
On sunday, it was finished. Here they are- my first pair of cast on socks, but not the first finished socks. Im still waiting for pics of my moms Cascade Socks, but these were my first pair for myself too- which makes them even more special.
Right now, they are keeping my feet nice and toasty in the cold Pacific Northwest winter and while I am sleeping. The sizing isn't quite right on my injured ankle (a little loose and baggy) but still warm. The yarn was a present from my grandmother (dads mom) who bought 2 skeins of it in Cambria in 2006 (don't ask me what store- she can't remember, I already checked). I knitted them on size 2s and they took me five months.
I started them on July 3rd after I had had a copious amount of rum and was braving the fears of both knitting on dpns and knitting socks. Turns out, I can do it. I can teach myself to knit on dpns and to knit socks. I am slightly amazing in this feat. Im working on the blog header and everything, since school is almost over I should have more time soon.
Also, holiday knitting doesn't exist for me. I am continuning to knit as planned and not stressing. lets see how long this lasts, shall we? Have a good week guys!
