Happy Valiumtimes Day!

Well, that's a good description for the amount of stress it seems to cause anyway! I'm not sure what all the hype is about - I have always bought the most valentines and candy for my kids, who are the true loves of my life! I mean, I feel like, it's cute for teeny-boppers in high school to be all "sweetheart-y", but my husband is nice to me everyday. He has always brought home flowers, even if they are just "dollar roses" (it's a Tyler thing) from the gas station, or will bring home a candy bar just because I love chocolate. One time he brought home my favorite tea! (A friend of mine was there, and I still worry this is what caused her to go out and look for a boyfriend, and then divorce her husband. Yeah, he was pretty much a jerk, anyway.) Just the other day, I overheard Gemma on the phone to one of her friends, say,"Oh goody! Valentines Day! That means candy from Mom!" However, if you happen to be a "singleton", without even any Liddle Kiddles around, you can always go out and whoop it up with your other single gal pals. (You know that's what all us old married ladies think - our single friends are going at it "Sex In The City" style! Woo hoo!)
Well, I feel like we are all well now from the Mouse Doo Flu* or whatever it was we all had. I did manage to get my Moebius cast on, which was a little weird, but it works! It is zoomin' along, still because it's all curled up, it's a little hard to judge what size it's gonna be.

I have done about 20 more rows, as they are looooong rows. See, you are knitting the inside and the outside at the same time, so you just knit around and around and you get stockinette on top and reverse stockinette on the bottom. It's so cool. Ooooooo, I feel a mania coming on! I am already reading ahead to all the felted basket patterns, even Fern wants a moebius bag! Yay for the Knitter Olympics! Yay for Cat Bordhi!

*aka Hanta Virus in these parts. This is what everybody catches here. I am not worried about "Bird Flu" anymore, I can tell you that! Not enough people, not enough birds!
