A Large Blanket

Petr is huge. Or it will be huge. I measured the width the other day, just to see how far I had to go, and it is 41" across. That's over three feet.

At last measure, I had 25" in length, so I've got a ways to go. I'm getting 5 rows per inch, so if I do 5 rows a day, it will be done in a little more than two weeks. Here's hoping! I've got 4 rows so far today.

Tomorrow is the Little Guy's Birthday. He'll be three. He sure has changed from the days he got to be wrapped up like a burrito.

When he gets in his towel after a bath we tell him that he is wrapped like a burrito. So, now when he gets out of the bath he says "wrap my in my burrito" and if we unwrap too early he get upset, stomps his feet and screams "I want my burrito! Put me in my burrito!"

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then

I Need a New Word for "Perfect"

Image
I just spent what can only be described as quite possibly one of the most perfect weekends of my life, thus far. I'm racking my brain trying to think of a weekend that has felt more "right" and I just can't. I think this was one of those rare life moments where everything comes together to create contentment. A perfect blend of good food, friendly strangers, physical and mental activity, and a person to travel with that makes you happy. David and I spent the weekend in Lanesboro, MN and thereabouts. We loaded up our bikes, and in my case, way too much other stuff and headed out of town. How is it that I can pack so light for a 10 day trip to Ireland, but when I head 2 hours south, I pack as though I am leaving home for an indefinite period of time? We arrived in Lanesboro in the rain. We ducked in to the Pedal Pushers Cafe where we had the coffee and pie special for $1.99. Chocolate cream pie. Yum! I drew this lovely picture. If you look closely, you will

You Know He's the One When...

...he makes amazing sandwiches with pepperjack cheese. ...he puts oregano in his scrambled eggs...or is it dill? ...he asks you to teach him to knit so he can make a hat for his new niece. ...he sets up your bike computer. ...he lets your nephew pretend he is a cow and feed him imaginary hay. ...he shows you how to use Excel so you can figure out just how painful it will be to pay off your student loans before you're 40. ...he Tivo's your favorite shows for you since you don't have cable. ...he likes your family. ...you like his family. ...he's the calm to your sometimes not-so-calm self. ...he puts up with your singing. ...he enjoys things like visiting the SPAM museum, taking a Segway tour of Minneapolis, and learning to make sushi. ...he's teaching you how to do flip turns in the pool. ...he loves your laugh. ...he gets down on one knee and gives you this...
