01. Mindless knitting is always a good thing. Ulmus is just easy enough to watch tv, but still charty enough to be interesting. Yes, charty is a word.
02. Hey look! Dave yarn. Slowly being hand wound.
03. Insurance – have answers, but uncertainty on costs is still looming over my head.
04. I get to visit Dr. House and the lovely and talented Mz. MoMo (I had to stop calling her a sex kitten – she’s so kind and sweet and knowledgeable) this week and am looking forward to getting away for a day.
Because….
05. I haz sad. This on the road crap? You never get used to it. While I enjoy being able to put the house back in order, I miss the boy noises.
06. And smells. While the smelly cologne shirt can be a comfort? Sometimes the slight whiff of it as you’re making the bed or walking through a room can catch you off guard.
07. We moved furniture when he was home (by we, I mean me telling him where to put it) and I think I mostly like the arrangement. Except for the heater vent under my desk chair. O.o
08. Love! the dining room now being by the fire place. Now for a new table.
09.The boy bought a waffle maker while he was home too. I think I love fresh waffles more than anything right now. YUM! Right now, I’m crushing on (home flavored) vanilla yogurt and blueberries as a topping. ZOMG!
10. An FO? I haz one!

It’s why I preferred not to clean. This cleaning thing can be bad news.

Nice looking hat sweetie. DH traveled a lot our first years together. I remember being so sad when he’d leave. Now I wish one of us would travel just once in a while so I could have some alone time! 25 years together will do that.

I totally understand missing the boy…I miss the days when R would leave the house so I *could* miss him…*sigh*
Lovely photo!

Love the bowl/dish/thingy the yarns are sitting in!
Is furniture moving week and no one told me?

Love the yarn for that hat. Looks great. I liked making my charty little Ulmus — but had a meltdown when I got to the lace edging.

Whew, late to the comments again. How was Dr. House? Mmmmm, waffles. Yeah, being on either side of the on-the-road equation is less than satisfactory. Love the yarn boat.
