Knit Diva

Me and my obsession has come a long way since last couple of years... I definitely still consider myself a beginner and always looking to improve my obsession. I think it is my "CALGON"... It takes me away from my busy life with a wonderful husband and 8yo twin boys... YIKES!!! I never understood how addicting yarn could be until I started knitting.. I have crochet for some time on and off but I never felt attached to it as I do with knitting...

ALL OVER THE PLACE

My camera has went crazy and I cannot upload my pics to the computer... grrrrrr!!! So, no pics as of yet. I hate not having pictures to share.. It is boring....LOL!!!!

Halloween is in a couple of days and my boys are ready for the sweet treats... I do have to admit that last year I made myself sick by eating their candy the night of Halloween...

The boys are being a skeleton that lights up and Scream that lights up... We are going to a Haunted Hay Ride Sunday. One already told me that he is not going to do the Haunted Hay Ride (which is fine... I don't care for them myself) They are having a big bonfire and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows and giving out goodies to all the kids...

Our annual "Apple Butter Festival" is this weekend!!! It is a bummer that I will not be going this year... The boys hate that type of thing and so we are opting not to go... I am so bummed because all of us girls in the family go and enjoy crafts, food, and MORE FOOD!!!! I think we mostly like it because of the food.

I seen an absurd thing the other day!!!! Wal-mart already had Christmas TREES lit up in the store yesterday... I know Christmas is coming at light speed but come on.... Halloween and Christmas stuff at the same time... COME ON!!!! I am boycotting Christmas at Wal-mart this year since they took away layaway.... What is that all about??? Wal-mart is a major selling point around Christmas because of that factor... I usually have most of my Christmas done and paid off. Of course, the boys are asking for the most expensive things on the market.... They want PSP's X (2).... Plus all the games, movies and gadgets that go with them...

I think Hubby and I knew from the get go that having twins would not be easy. But, I think as they get older it is more apparent that toys, clothes, shoes and everything else for little boys becomes outrageously expensive..... I guess we kind of think of the NOW instead of thinking about CARS and COLLEGE!!!! OH MY!!!! (lets not even talk about that)

Anyway, I don't know if you all trudge through the crowded malls and stores to shop on Black Friday but here is a sight to watch until Thanksgiving. I watch this sight for the good deals and map out where we are going on Black Friday. Black Friday Website As we get closer to Thanksgiving you will see more and more ads popping up. I have been using this sight for over 3 years and love it... Even if you are planning on cyber shopping it helps to know about the deals...

Have a Great Weekend!!! I hope I didn't bore you too much... Ü

It is Good to be Home.....

We all got back from Louisiana Sunday night. We left Wednesday evening to head to Cicily Island for a race. It takes us about 10 hrs to get there. Talk about a trip... I was in a truck with for adult men... My little ones stayed home with their grandma... I thought it would be a great time to catch up on some reading and knitting but our trip was work more than play... I didn't get much time to do anything besides enjoy the nice weather, Louisiana hospitality, Wonderful Cajun Cuisine and some good hard racing....LOL!!!! The trip was more for our business than a vacation but we did have a blast.

I am hoping I will have some pictures to show from our trip when they are developed. I absolutely enjoyed myself but missed my boys tremendously... We will be heading out there again in the Spring and the boys will definitely be going with us this time.

On Knitting News: Not much to really post about since on the trip home I slept the whole way.... I have about 2 inches of the foot to do on my sock and then the toe... I will finish the afterthought heel when I finish the toe... After those are done I am going to start on some hats... I am in the mood for hats... I really have enjoyed being on Ravelry. My name on Ravelry is: KnitDiva. That place is just endless and I plan on organize my stash when I get a minute and start entering it in to my stash on Ravelry...

It has definitely cooled down from the 80 degree weather we were having last week... I am ready to kick my self in the behind and start knitting..... How 'bout you???

A NEW addition to the Family.......



We just got a new addition to the family Thursday night. DH brought home a 9 week old Boxer... Talk about the cutest thing ever. We have named him Cassius "CASH" Clay. The past couple of days he has been a little timid being away from his doggie mom. The boys are ecstatic and so am I. The boys have definitely kept the little one busy in between his little doggie naps. He has already been spoiled and we plan on taking him on a trip to get some NEW treats and some toys...

I forgot about how it feels to be awaken in the middle of the night. For the past couple of nights he has woke me up around 3am to go potty....




I don't have my camera with me at work to send some adorable pictures of this little guy. I will upload some pics when I get home to show you how cute he is.

In knitting news, I have been knitting on the second sock to the groovy sock and I am hoping I can finish them this week... I have other projects on the side lines to get going on.... New projects on the needles coming ahead... Ü
