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!
