Talking Over Coffee

Grab a cup.  Let's talk.  Just random stuff.

Imagine some old music playing.

(I've got Frank Sinatra Radio playing on Pandora--cuz sometimes I'm

cheesy like that.  Louis Armstrong, Frank, Dean, Bing, Bobby Darrin...)

How would you like your latte?

A nice, easy weekend ahead.

Basketball is now over.

(my son's team--my DH coaches--took 2nd out of the 10 teams in their league. 

 Kind of hard to settle for 2nd, but trying to focus on how incredibly well the played.)

My other son is having a friend over.

We get to enjoy some new furniture in our basement,

which is a really big deal because we've not had

enough seating for ALL of us to watch a movie

together.  The kids end up having to take the floor.

It's so cozy down there now that I'm almost 

looking forward to tornado season.

(you might have to live in KS to understand that one...)

I only WISH that the above pic was recent.

Took it through our front door last year during

an especially fun blizzard. 
Snow days = pajama days at our house, btw.   

However, it's finally starting to feel a little like winter

here.  Cold winds, clouds, a little snow here and there

with more in the forecast.  Not enough to suit me

but it'll have to do.  Makes me feel like knitting!

Speaking of...Knitters, help a sister out here.

Tomorrow is my first of two classes on making

gloves with the flat method.  My "homework"

is to cast on 30 rows of K1, P1.

Sorry for the lousy picture but: 

don't the stitches look kinda...messy?

Is it because I'm flipping back and forth

so much with the K1, P1?  (I would've prefered

K2, P2 but oh, well...)  If I pull it downward, it

looks fine so will blocking fix it then?  I just

don't want to show up with something wrong.

And that little pink "Forget Me Not" thing--

I've had it forever and just started using it.

Should've done that sooner.  I love it.  Wonder

how old it is?  At least 30, if not 40...or more.

Wait a minute...[looking in mirror]...40 isn't old

AT ALL!  Nope!  That's young, right?

What's going on this weekend for everyone?

Fun stuff?  Sports?  Sewing?  Crafting?

I've spent entirely waaay too much of my

Friday on the computer in this coffee shop so

I'd better run!  Hope you're weekend is great!
