Binge!

Yesterday started out being pretty cool. Then it turned completely hilarious due to Superman's awesome skills in forgetfulness.
I woke up to the sound of birds and just the slightest hint of morning light.
That's such a load, I woke up because Scratchy was calling for her breakfast in bed. It was 6:45am, I couldn't help but think that my now 10 month old baby was put on this earth to make sure I am awake at 6:45 am every day.
I know you are thinking "6:45 bleh, I already have the cows milked, the eggs collected and lunch cooked by 6:45, I wish I could sleep that late"
All I have to say to that is I'm sorry for your early morning plight and if you like, I'll FedEx Scratchy over to you and she can come milk you at 6:45am.

At 7am I woke up Superman otherwise he would be late for work. I said: sweetie, its 7. He says "hmmhm, okay", then he rolls over and goes right back to sleep. I think to myself that it's going to be one of those mornings.
7:10 I go to him again. Same results. Okay I think, he must have gotten to bed really late, 10 more minutes and I'll be back.

So its 10 minutes later Scratchy is sleeping again, I have coffee so I'm good. I go wake up Superman again. I say "hey lazy butt, git up, time for ya to go to work, how am I going to buy more yarn if you don't go make the $$, hurry up, and since your up git me more coffee!
I'm kidding, I didn't say that. But I have thought it before. No, I say,"babe, you are going to be late, it's time to get up". I guess by this time he was tired of his wife waking him up every 10 minutes, so he says "I'm not going", I think, what? This is a man that wont even miss work when he is sick. So I ask him what's up. He says he is on vacation and that I'm the most unthoughtful wife for forgetting that he told me that last month.
Lets take a moment to mention that he told me in the beginning of June, that he would be taking a weeks vacation sometime in July. That is all the Supersexyman ever told me, but I digress.
Well, when he told me that, I went insane. I was supah supah happy. I thought " Oh gosh what am I going to do during his vacation"
You see with gas prices the way they are we aren't going no where far this summer. So it's all about staying in Houston, but there is plenty to do here, so we will be okay.
Anyway, I let him sleep and I got dressed, my other daughters were still sleeping also, so I left. Yep you heard correctly, I Left By Myself. Needles to say I went on a binge, a book binge!
I went to 3 different places and got:

This book is full of historical things about sock knitting and I love it. I also lost it in a parking lot yesterday, and I had tears ready to go, when Superman spotted it and brought it back to me. I knew there was a reason I keep nursing and feeding his children.



I saw this and I thought "I'm real people" This book has lot of good information too.


I bought this because, my knitting finishing techniques leave alot to be desired. I must say that the book is choc full of clear pictures of how to do stuff. I love it.


This one here just stole my heart. I really don't see the foxes or geeses in the designs, but shows you pretty clearly how to do colour work. I cant wait to try some of the patterns.

When I got back home at around noon Superman was still in his jammies and the girlies were all awake and still in the bottoms of their jammies, no tops ( I don't have boys, Superman makes due with what he made). He tells me he has good news and bad news. The good news is that he will be home all day. The bad news....he had his dates wrong and his vacation doesn't start until nextweek. I just about died laughing. I knew it was too good to be true. At least I have my books to keep me company. So this morning at 6:45am....see above, but instead of the whole vacation thing, picture Superman begrudgingly getting up looking all sexy!

Later 'gaters, I got reading to do!
