So here are my first 30days..and please visit SNAP HAPPY to see our collaborative photos. It’s such a fun thing.
So, the weekend is already over. Just re-DONK-ulous how quickly is flies by. It was a nice low key weekend and I don’t see how, but I am EXHAUSTED. I actually don’t think I’m sleeping sound enough at night, with the ever so lovely hacking cough.
Today, I had a wonderful afternoon with my princess. For her birthday, she asked if we could go see “Where the Wild Things Are”. She reads and reads and read this book, and we bought her the soundtrack before the movie was even released. But, the weeks came & went and it had been in theaters already 3 weeks..and we promised her we’d see it right away. Today, it was time. The movie was fantastic from beginning to end and I even teared up throughout. I don’t know if it was watching her with that sparkle of love & excitement in her eyes, or the movie itself, know that it really did justice to the book, I thought anyway. We LOVED it. After some time at the park and the required weekend trip to Target.. my Sunday is almost over.
Back to school tomorrow for a short 4 day week..
Time to settle everyone down & KNIT on my seekrit mittensz!
Sinus issues, always make for an attractive gal, don’t they. Your nasaly speech. The constant sniffling. The dry smacking of your lips, because your dehydrated from the meds. Yeah, I’m HAWT.
Hopefully, it’s on it’s way out.
I can’t take much more of this hacking cough.
It’s FRIDAY! It was a long day of coughing and running errands. My dear Mr Knitpho had to work late, and who knows what time he’ll cross the threshold to our humble abode. I do know,he’ll be exhausted and spent. Sigh. So, I’m wondering … do you google wave yet? I got an invite from the spouse, so right now, it’s just us two, but I don’t get it AT ALL. I suppose I will, once more people I know are on there too.
What do you have planned this weekend? I’m thinking some much needed outdoor time for our brood, some photo taking and finally going to go see Where the Wild Things Are. FINALLY. I hope it’s still playing.
You know whats right around the corner in theaters, right? NEW MOON! I’m looking forward to girls night out, drinks and yummy RPATTZ.
Have a wonderful weekend … but of course you’ll be reading more riveting bloggy posting since my goal is to post every day in November!
Exercise. I don’t. Do you?
I am SO stupid. This time last year I was (not so much) lean mean running working out machine. I was going to the gym 3-4 days a week. I was running 4 days a week. I was preparing to run a turkey trot 5k with my 10 year old on Thanksgiving morning. I was in da zone. This year. I’m lumpy – er. Why do we do this to ourselves. I say we and ourselves in the most general of terms. If you are this person, who sets a goal, reaches that said goal. Then just starts rolling backwards, so fast that it’s hard to go forward again, and your once reached goal.. is just a memory.
I was all set to get my laces lace and game face ON. I got the gym class schedule and was ready get back in the routine of gym IMMEDIATELY after I drop of the M’s at school! But, it’s just so easy to turn left instead of right an head on home. Now, I have been a wee bit preoccupied these last few week. As my dear friend tells me .. all we can do is move forward. So, that I shall.
So, STARTING MONDAY .. yeah..thats right. MONDAY.. who starts an exercise regime on a Friday. Dumbasses, that’s who. I’ll hit the gym. Maybe try my first go at pilates. Wish me luck!
Another late post to the old blog. Tonight I had my knit night with my fave girls and let me tell you, they do not disappoint. I laughed so hard, I turned a lovely shade of purple. You know, one of those silent laughs that you can’t even tell your peeps what your laughing at because you CAN. NOT. BREATHE. Yeah.. one of those awesome kind of nights. Sigh.
I casted on for a new project tonite, and after only 10 tries, I finally got started. I am knitting Clapotis (part deux). This one is for my mama. I bought this yummy delicious yarn while at NY Sheep & Wool.. aka RHINEBECK.
It’s a lovely blend of blues and purples. I might not give it up.. I kid I kid. This is knit with lots of love and special memories and thoughts. ALl for my mom!
I almost missed today! ALMOST. It’s 11:06pm and I thought.. I better go write something real quick, even though my “blog might suck and my grammar might too”. Would you believe someone took the time out of their pathetic miserable life to write that in my comments.
Well, to whoever wrote it, I’m rubber and your glue…
In other exciting riveting Chez Knitpho news, I finished a pretty big knitting project, but you’ll have to wait to see. I know, I’m sure your on pins & needles – but still .. It’s a surprise for someone, so you’ll just have to wait. Now, while I’ve finished that, I have seekrit mittenz to knit, and I’m super excited about that, but what to knit at knit night tomorrow night? The malabrigo drop stitch scarf I started ions ago? It might just have to do in the meantime, because my main knitting focus is the mittens.
Still illin’ .. this cough sucks. I can’t believe that my poor Mia has been dealing with this for like 4 weeks. How does she stand it and want to get out of bed in the morning. Yuck.
I know I said I was going to show you Rhinebeck purchases, but that’ll have to wait to, seeing as I haven’t photo’d any of it.
But if you do wanna see photos.. GO HERE. My friend Kathryn & I do a photo O the day blog.
Hasta manana.
What’s this? Two posts, two days in a row? Even feeling like crap.. here I am posting. Looks like the germies finally found their way to my system and they are trying their damndest to take me down. I will not let them defeat me. Mia has been coughing for weeks now, just coughing. No other symptons.. there is only so much cough medicine you can give a petite 5 year old, before she starts jonesing for the stuff and it really doesn’t even work anyway. So.. I put the end to that and just let her cough. What can you do? Except get sick yourself.
Since posting from the circus, my parents have came & gone. I loved having them here and it was hard for me to see them go back to Colorado. I don’t know when my next trip home will be, nor do I know when they’ll be here next. Sigh. So, we enjoyed the time we had with them here and the kids just relished in the spoils of the g’rents.
The only thing that makes it easier to say so long to my parents.. are these gals.
That’s us at Rhinebeck.. I’ll show what I bought soon!
Hello Friends!!
Well. It’s NaBloPoMo..and lets see if I can blog EVERY DAMN DAY! What a miracle it will be if I can make it eh..
I do have things to share with you, I just haven’t taken the time to put it here.. so I’ll give it a go.. once again.
Starting, tomorrow!
HAPPY NOVEMBER!
Summer has come and gone. I say this every year, but this summer was one of the best summers I can remember having. I guess that’s how it is with kids and family.. each year you just add to the long list of fantastic memories. You don’t forget the summer before, it just filed away. I love summer. I love the warm hot sun and even the few days a year that the humidity is unbearable, I miss those already to. I don’t however, miss shaving my legs… sorry husband. You’ll have to learn to love the stubble.
The leaves are starting to change .. my M’s are full swing into school and come excited every day to tell us what they did that day. Thankfully, school (for the most party) (and for the time being) comes easy to both of them – and most nights aren’t to hellish with homework.
Right around the corner, my baby girl is about to turn 5. My parents are coming. My friendships are getting even stronger, while some have been deleted. Mr Knitpho & I will be an aunt & uncle come winter – when stupid snow is on the ground.
Im just not ready for summer to be over.. but if that means enjoying all the good things that are going on right now .. I’ll file this summer away and see what this season can bring me.
Happy Fall!
