SO my birthday was on Friday. And at the end of a long day I had this super cute birthday cake.
My day started off with dogs barking at each other through a door wanting to play. They do not seem to understand that on my side of the house, we sleep in on days off.
I went to get the tag for my truck renewed which was uneventful except for a woman who was in line, right in front of me. She was sporting a pair of Acid washed tapered leg jeans. I thought those were banned around 1995?
So as I was leaving the Tag place, I was sitting at the stop sign waiting for traffic to pass. I looked left. I looked right. I looked left and again and WHAM! My truck was hit. By a cop.
I am ok, and the truck is dinged up. The cop's car had the most damage. And OOOOOO buddy, he was easy on the eyes.
After waiting an eternity for the accident report to be written, I was on my way again and off to have lunch with my best friend. I hit a few antique stores and bought some yarn goodness.
I had dinner with the family and spent some quality time with people I love.
I will be sharing the ugliness of acid washed jeans in a day or so, so be sure to check back!

Secret Shawl
I am working hard on a secret shawl project. I can't say who or what its for, but it's knitting up super nicely.
What else is new? Springtime is here and that means long hours at work from well February till end of May.
I went hiking last Sunday at Ravine Gardens, a beautiful Florida State Park. There are over 93000 azalea plants there. Only about half were in bloom when I was there. The cooler weather this winter has slowed the blooming of my most favorite flower.
I am working on numerous projects besides the shawl. I finished a pair of socks last night, and am working hard to finish a pair for a friend, Carrie. Its only taken me a year to get it done.
Snoopy and Mo are getting along well still. Snoopy has taken to sitting in my room looking out into the hallway and barking when he wants Mo to come play with him. This happens about 3 times a week, at the oddest hours. Like this morning at 5am. It is so odd, because Snoopy is not like most beagles. He doesn't howl at all, and doesn't bark often.
That's all I have for today. I am hoping for some crazy posts next week, (after all my birthday is around the corner)

how do my tonsils look
Snoopy and Mo have become friends and daily they have hour+ long wrestling matches. It looks like Snoops is going to bite off Mo's head or maybe MO is going to bite off Snoopy's nose.
Snoopy tries to be very gently with Mo since Snoopy is a bit bigger I think he knows he has to be. Now Mo, fights dirty. He will act like he is tired and will lay down. As soon as Snoopy lets his gaurd down, Mo jumps up ready to attack again. It's great fun watching them.

Snuggle time
My computer is back amongst the living and I just have to share this photo i snapped with Mr. iPhone the other day.
Mo and Snoopy were actually wrestling, when I called their names out they paused long enough for me to take this picture.
Happy Sunday Friends!
ps, as soon as I took the photo Snoopy started humping Mo.

Cloudy thoughts
The blog has been silent the past weekish. My laptop has a virus and I have no interwebs to entrertain me at night while it is at the doctors. The doctor being one of my best friends Corrina's house. I am hoping for another miracle, one that involves the virus going ok and itunes is left intact.
Today's photo was taken the day I went to the Alpaca Expo with my friend Tricia. When we were walking to her truck to head home, the clouds were so pretty.
On the needles this week (that I can remember)
1. Baby sweater for a girl friend (I am trying to get two knitted by March 13) with matching booties
2. A self striping sock in Hot pink and black. It's dead sexy.
3. The second Embossed Leaves sock for my friend Carrie. It's only been a year that I have been knitting them.
4. A sweater for me that I think is too wide but I am too lazy to put it on waste yarn and try it on
5. A Self striped sock in yarn one of my favorite gal pal's dyed, I am on the foot and if I buckle down I can get it done this week.
6. Multnomah Shawl. I was knitting it at 2:45am the other morning and I fear something disasterous was done.... more on that later.
7.8. and 9. are more socks I cast on and put into project bags only to have the needles be ripped out in a month or so.

Alpacas are for lovers..
Of cute fibery animals! On Saturday my cohort in crime, Trishthedish aka Tricia and I went over to the Alpaca Expo. Alpacas from all over the country were in town being judged in all sorts of things. I just wanted photos and fiber.
Alpacas will spit if they get scared, but they can be sweet and even funny. Tricia and I watched one fellow run laps around his pen hopping over bales of hay and annoying his fellow pen dwellers.
Now, this guy was a total ham for the camera. He loved having his picture taken and I didn't mind taking them!I brought home 16 ounces of Chocolate brown Adult Huacaya Alpaca Roving and once I free up some bobbins I will get to spinning it up!
