Seriously, it's only Tuesday?

This week is already moving slower than dirt. (what does that even mean? Slower than molasses moving uphill in January makes more sense, but is so wordy.) Anyway, here are my happy smooshy green socks (Dream in Color Smooshy sock yarn, Happy Forest colorway)
They are done and they fit better than the last pair. They are very soft and comfy. The feet are long enough so the toes don't stretch out. I am figuring out how to modify the sizes to fit me better. The pair I am on now is going to be too tight in the leg, but that's ok, maybe I'll save them for next year in the hopes that losing another 40 lbs or so will make my legs skinny enough to fit them. Maybe when I try toe-up socks I will get the size more accurate.

Not much doin' here. Cold like winter should be (below 0 daily). On Saturday James and I are going with Dad to see Battleship Potemkin at Orchestra Hall. It is a Russian silent film with a score by Shostakovitch. It should be fun. I have always wanted to see a silent film in a theatre with live music. Not something one can do too often these days.

Oh, Baby Bonsignore arrived yesterday (early am after too much labor according to the Docs. Another 15 minutes and she would have come via C-section). Over 8 lbs and 22 inches. Not a tiny little girl. Congratulations M&C!

What I did on my Winter Vacation (from blogging)

Got a Nintendo Wii. Barrels of fun. Mario is as frustrating as ever, but the little wrist strap keeps the remote from going through the TV.

Made a baby blanket for Adelaide Elizabeth Bonsignore (birthday tbd)

GOT NEW WINDOWS!!!! And about darn time too. We still haven't fixed up the walls and done the paint touch ups, but the house is warmer so who cares?

Put up and then (a few weeks later) took down the Christmas decorations. The kitties liked it under the tree.

Spent Christmas in KC with the in-laws. A good time was had by all. (Everyone says thanks again for the coffee cake Dad. We've integrated the tradition into another family.)

Re-started the Happy Forest socks. I decided the pattern I was using was too tedious and made them plain instead. I am now about half done with sock number two.

Joined the Amazing Threads sock of the month club. I will pick up my first packet tomorrow.

Joined the Sock a Moth 5 knit-a-long, which can be found here for anyone interested.

Re-arranged the living room. I like it.

Got a new cell phone and new provider (Dumped Verizon, went to T-Mobile pre-pay and should end up paying less than quarter the amount per year. Yeah!!)

And now for cute kitties in baskets.
