07.28.2004 :: What I am doing on my summer vacation, 2004
My official 3rd day of vacation. Let's review what I've done so far, shall we?
Cooked many dinners~ without grousing
Did dinner dishes on the same day that they were dirtied ~nuff said
Shopping in Newburyport
Lunch with friends ~yummy on so many levels
made headway on the stack 'o laundry that has been haunting me
vacuumed
managing major TMJ pain with blinding headaches from eating homemade granola that was a bit too crunchy, but OhSoYummy!
finally picked up poor neglected Charlotte~knitknitknitknitknit
These are the highlights. The list goes on and on. All of it good. But you may have noticed that I mentioned Charlotte! Did you think that I had forgotten her? Yah, me too!
bunchy Charlotte squished on the needle!
I now have 6 more rows until completion. Are you doing a happy dance along with me? Yes, I'm sure you are!
"Everybody dance now!" ~suggested music for your dance along!
There is one thing about Charlotte though. I'm not sure I like the final color. Kinda.....orange. I'm having an inkling of doubt tingle in my mind, but I'm trying to ignore it. Like advice from a family member, I'm trying to drown it out. Give it a chance and all that. I do think that I will use the light blue from the beginning of the shawl for the crocheted border. Maybe that will bring it all together. No? Yes?
Come along and vacation with me! My house is almost clean!

Love Charlotte!! Nevermind the house - I don't work outside the home, and I still can't keep my house clean or my laundry up to date :)

Charlotte is looking divine!! I had the same doubts with my colors, but she's starting to grow on me again...that lace pattern is sure addictive! (I'm also becomming obsessed with the Keepsake shawl...must save $$$ for that one!) Anyway...wanna come clean my house????

I feel your TMJ pain! I've had many a headache caused by my lack of willpower for chewing gum and crunchy foods. :-)
Charlotte is looking great - happy dance going on here as well! (I'm not seeing that it's too orangey, but maybe it's the photo?)

Hey, I'll be right over as soon as I can ditch the kids. We could knit all day and party all night. Or maybe just half the night, we need our knitting sleep too.

It WILL all work out. You must be done by now. Blocking is so fun as Charlotte just opens like a blossom!

Happy dance! Happy dance! I like the final color it relates back to the warmer tones in the first one. Beauteous!

I am impressed with your Domestic Diva endeavors. I love when it gets all done for what.... 2 mins. : )
Now get that Charlotte Web off your back or should I say on your back ....your my idol for just doing it.

What---the dishes AND the laundry are done? You're showin' me up there, girlie!
Charlotte is gorgeous! Congrats on your finish!
Sending big healing hugs your way for the TMJ. Hey--that rhymes. Damn, I'm clever. ;)
