simple pleasures

HOT WATER! yes, a hot shower, the ability to run the dishwasher, the ability to wash clothes in the washer in HOT water, washing my hands in at least luke warm water.... all things i was not able to do since LAST monday evening until this morning. yes a week and a 1/2 without hot water... because of our lack of hot water, i woke up this morning and took a long hot shower all by myself with no interruptions from a crying baby at 6:30 this morning. the luxury! i never shower that early in the morning. i might just start though, it was very relaxing and max wasn't sitting in the upstairs hall crying his eyes out because i wasn't paying attention to him while i dry my hair... simple pleasures i tell you....

on the knitting front, i made these....

I'm really not happy with the final product. i put them on, was all happy about them, they are super cute really, but then when i wore them for the first time they stretched out beyond belief and are not in the least bit cool anymore... they flop around on my hands... and look silly... the yarn is a 47% acrylic and 53% nylon mix, the directions say to hand wash so i might toss them in the washer with some warm water to see if that fixes them... i'm guessing it will temporarily but that they'll just stretch right back out again once i wear them... oh well....

i'm still working on absorba, and i'm knitting some bibs that i think i've screwed up as well... and my log cabin... i need to get back into that project or i might just end up proving chris right and not getting it finished before NEXT fall...

ooh, ps max is 6 months old now! my god!
