the list

Posted on | November 21, 2007 | 11 Comments

These are the things I plan to work on over the long weekend:

1.  Baby surprise jacket for a friend

2.  Finish SB’s socks (just a foot to go!)

3.  Knit the other sleeve and front of the Notre Dame de Grace pullover (then it will be finished)

4.  Start a new sock

Of course I won’t get around to doing all of these, I’ll be busy eating peanut butter fudge and Tell City Pretzels, but every little bit helps, right? 

We’re headed to Indiana for the holiday, where I’ll eat Stove-Top stuffing, defend my choice to be a vegetarian and try my damnedest not to mention the word “blog” for five days.  That’ll be tough!  I’m bringing my laptop though, so I plan to blog while keeping it a secret that I have a blog.  Um, yeah.

What are your plans for the long weekend?

    My plans? Eating. And knitting. That’s about it. Have a great Thanksgiving!

    What Carole said.
    Why do people hassle others about their food choices? Sheesh. (Except for getting to say that line about animals being made of meat – no matter how many times I hear that it’s still funny.) Have fun.

    Wed – cook my overly ambitious dishes to take to my mother’s tomorrow (case in point – I’m off to hunt for mascarpone cheese and crysatllized ginger!)

    Thurs – head to Mom’s with aforementioned dishes, eat, drink, play dominoes with my niece, hope my friends and family like each other, knit on my sister’s way overdue socks (SSS has me in it’s grip) as she will be asking me about them and subtly noting that her feet are cold

    Fri – sleep in, knit, maybe 2 hours at the office, go out with friends

    Sat – the Alabama/Auburn game with friends. I’m excited! This is my first time to witness this match-up. And I’m going with good folk. So maybe the rain, cold and 92K drunks won’t bother me.

    Sun – sleep, knit, pack for Atlanta

    Go Elizabeth! If I put the turkey breast in the crockpot, I can knit, right? I might need to start a new sock. I don’t feel the love for the other three I have going.

    Be safe in your travels! We run down to my dad’s for Thanksgiving afternoon, and back that evening, cuz I have critters to look after.

    Since you are heading north, you will be able to wear your wool SAFF sweater without burning up! Hubby and I will be eating and drinking at the cuz’s house tomorrow and the rest of the weekend and spending some quality time ALONE (that translates into him watching football and me knitting) Maybe it will be cold enough to light a fire in the fireplace…

    Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    While eating and sleeping sound absolutely wonderful, Friday I’ll be uploading roving and yarn to my Etsy store, putting up
    my Christmas tree and seeing Beowolf in 3D on the IMAX. Saturday I’ll be at the Spinning Loft playing with my spinning
    wheel and Sunday I start knitting Christmas presents. Good times! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Elizabeth, I’m not a vegetarian, but I don’t think you should have to defend yourself, even to family. The computer’s a good idea, just blog and ignore them. By the way, my family knows I am a blogger, but they never read it.
