My Life Right Now

I thought I should update the blog, even though I have nothing knitting or transit related to write about. I feel the name of my blog has become a joke. Knitting? Transit? Huh?

I've just been really busy lately. If I'm not at the gym, I'm in my new home working with D on consolidating the accumulated "stuff" of two people on their mid-30s. Do we need two crockpots? Two ladles? Where should we hang these pictures? Bookshelves! Bookshelves! We need bookshelves!

We are also deep into honeymoon planning! We will be going for two weeks in November to Dominica and Puerto Rico. While in Dominica we will be staying here. In Puerto Rico we plan to spend a few nights in Old San Juan and a few nights on Vieques at this place. We are very excited for our trip and now I've got a wedding planning binder and a honeymoon planning binder. Woo-hoo! Airfare is booked, some of the lodging. So far, so good.

The big wedding things left to do are invitations, which need to get done this month, the rehearsal dinner, and the August reception we are planning for some of D's family (this will be a joint event with his brother who is getting married about a week before us). I'm a wee bit stressed about the invites. Lately I've been tempted to go the Wedding Paper Divas route for the ease of it. Then I think, "No! Make your own. You don't want to do anything fancy so it will be easy!" We'll see.

Knitting, not so much. I'm sure it will pick up here soon. I'd like to knit a baby blanket for a co-worker who is due any day now. I've been using the fact that she doesn't know if it's a boy or girl to put off starting anything. Nice way to buy some time.

That's all I've got for now!

I remember the fun of combining two households of 30 somethings. We found friends in need to give all the extra household equipment and furniture. Breathe and laugh and enjoy! We are really looking forward to being down there for your wedding.

Well, after thinking about starting a blog for several years now, I've finally done it. Bear with me as I get the hang of it. This will mostly be a knitting blog...which I guess means I'll need to knit a lot. No problem there. Why the name, "Knitting in Transit"? Because "Knitting on the Bus" was taken. I'm sure this is only being read by family and friends, and you all know I don't own a car and get around to and fro on the bus. Where I do a lot of knitting. Expect that I may also regale you with my tales of riding the bus. Well, I can't very well have a knitting blog without a picture of something I knit, so here you go. My latest FO...Dad's Sweater. More about this later.

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 ...

Anti-Valentine's Day

I'm not wild about Valentine's Day. Why designate one day of the year to show people you love them? Why not just do that everyday? D and I have never really done anything special for Valentine's Day. I can't even remember if we saw each other last year on Valentine's Day! This year, I want to do have an Anti-Valentine's Day. I want to spend the day with D, but do things that are the opposite of what you might do on Valentine's Day. So far, the only thing I have come up with is watching a horror movie. Since neither of us like horror movies, we probably won't do that, but I am looking for things in that spirit. Please help me. Leave any ideas you might have in comments. If you leave an idea and we do that, you'll get a special treat. Probably chocolate. Or Gummy Bears if you prefer that sort of thing.
