12.26.2004 :: Knitting in a winter wonderland

Christmas, the aftermath. Got much stuff? Where will we put it all? Boxing day, indeed. Much stuff must be boxed up around here to make room for the new stuff! We've got it tough, eh?
My best gift, of course, was a gift certificate to the yarn shop. Could there be any better gift? And as a bonus, Andy got a couple of knitting type stocking stuffers when he was in the shop. Made a lot of knitters jealous, he did. He tells the story of every year when he steps inside the shop, the employee will immediately say to him, "gift certificate?" And he was dying to say, "um, no, I'm thinking of learning to knit, could you help me out?" Just to shock them. He didn't. This year anyway! After purchasing his gift certificate, he then told them he wanted some stocking stuffers and he said the whole store of knitters did a collective "Awwww". Can't be jealous without showing it! :)
I think I'll keep him. Especially if he shovels. And we'll need a lot of that!

I took this picture out my kitchen window. I couldn't even make myself open the door. SNOW. A day late for a white Christmas. We have about 4 inches right now and it's not the storm yet. It's ocean effect snow. Which is the same as lake effect snow, only different. If the weather forecast is right, we'll have up to 10 inches when it's all said and done tomorrow. And we were going to travel the one and a half hour trip to my Mom's for Christmas, part deux. That is now rescheduled for January 1st.
I do have an alternate plan for today and it has everything to do with my jammies. And eating leftovers. And maybe, possibly doing the sinkful of dishes.
But then again, knitting while watching my new Seinfeld DVD's on our new DVD player sounds appealing too.
Hope your day after is filled with fun. And filled trashbags. Kick them to the curb!

Woohoo - it's Hurley Christmas overload! Looks like a great time was had by all. Good luck getting it all out of the living room though! ;0) (I have to give myself a pat on the back for doing a pre-Christmas clean and purge, making room for all the new toys I knew the boys were going to get. I don't think I'll ever manage to be this prepared again, but boy was it nice!)
