I'm afraid that if I carry on for any length of time today, this may turn into a whiney, complainey, bitchy blog post. And I really don't want to do that. I'm tired. I'm headachey. That's all I'm going to say about that.
But. I did get to host the family last night for Father In Law's Birthday. There is nothing I like better, lately, than cooking a meal for people that I love. I enjoy seeing everyone sit down and taste the flavors that I have concocted. It touches something way down inside my soul. It's a good thing.
But don't you have family members (Or perhaps even yourself, although, us being us, yarn is always an appropriate and encouraged gift) that you cannot for the life of you figure out what to buy them? They have everything and then some that they need in life. One more shirt will topple the pile of shirts in their home. Knicknacks? Dust collectors. Hobbies? Done to death. What do you get them? We usually rely on the old standard, gift certificates. This year, I also got for my father in law a flock of chicks. And it was so warmly received, I am grateful and thrilled and it brings tears to my eyes. There will be more Heifer gifts being given this Christmas season. Won't you consider giving chicks? Or ducks? Sheep, rabbits, trees, honeybees or even a heifer?
I love, I love, I love my calendar girl
Deb is holding a contest to show what is on your November page of your calendar! Novemburr is one of my favorite months, over the river and through the woods kind of thing.
Here's my Novembrrrrr Calendar page! How about yours? It's fun to see all the variety!

My walls are not yellow, by the way. It's the Novembrr light. Or lack of!
My knit
I'm knitting almost exclusively on the roommate scarf. Morehouse merino pink yarn, for those who wish to ask.

This is the Irish Hiking Scarf pattern. I love knitting it. I'm thinking my Red Scarf will be this pattern too. You ARE doing a red scarf, aren't you?
My father was an orphan without really being an orphan so I feel a special closeness to this project. This year, I will knit red and not light red. (not PINK, like last years!)
WARM HANDS
The Warm Hands blog has a new home! I decided that I cannot keep up with the updates like I should so I found a new home for the blog. Knitters can post their own updates to the blog. Wordpress may be the death of me yet. I have been dealing with issues all weekend long. It is still not running smoothly yet, so patience is needed there. But I am excited about it's new direction! Have a look!
Today
I have a crock pot of baked beans cooking, making the house smell heavenly and 2 hungry college students to feed and get back to their respective universities. Life has been filled to the brim with happiness and goodness. So, I'm wondering why I have a headache!
