ianukYeah, things slowing down at the end of the year? Who am I kidding.....well, since I last posted here we've had Southern Crusades, Thanksgiving Break in South Dakota, Ben's Holiday Concert, way too many scrolls needed and my leg surgery is Friday. oof.
Also during that time I think I've determined that I'm going to take part in the Knitmore Girls "Grinchalong" which is basically...don't make holiday gifts from Dec 1 thru December 24th. The only thing I was going to make is socks for mel and I can do that after the holiday. Plus I want my MIL to pick our fabric for her dress I'm going to make her and we can start sewing after the holidays. So, there...grinchalong engaged!
So, Southern Crusades happened and it was weird and good. Weird since it was at the Estrella site, weird that I was there for setup and Mel wasn't...he had training and was picking up all of the kids. But I got to pull out the big camera and take pictures and that was nice.

Got done with that and a short bit of work and then it was teh weekend again. I stayed home from A&S for lots of reasons...mainly to just be home for once and I had to get my haircut so that was also good.
We left 2 days later for South Dakota with my Mom. That was good...much better than last year..not as much drama though we had some plumbing issues that mom got fixed after we left. We got her a new tv for xmas since the old one was 23 years old and fuzzy. We got her a Vizio 1080p 40" LED and got that setup. I had to fix the wire issues from the folks who did their surround sound 15 years ago. What an utter mess. But it works and I only had to run to town once for longer cables since we put things on a swivel extendable mount. Mom is now hookedup with netflix etc. Click the link below to see the album...I'm still editing photos.

In all of the travel mel's phone and laptop decided to basically die. The phone would only sometimes charge but we finally got him settled this weekend with a new one. I also got a replacement ipad and he's still figuring out what he wants for a laptop. We shall see.
So I only have 7 days left working for the year. Ugh..so much to do but I'm taking time for myself and knitting for me! Thus Grinchalong. I am doing the Jimmy Beans Wool Craftvent thing where you get an advent calenar with yarn, notions etc and you make a shawl by Xmas Eve. So far I'm on track. With my surgery on friday for varicose vein removal I should be good to sit and get through the day 8 knitting. I'm also making progress on my long lingering daybreak shawl. I also have the Old shale Shawl .
Plus I have my Halloween Socks to finish as well. Sighs. Lots for me to finihs.
