At Aunt Becky's
I was relaxing too much (OK, and eating too much) to take very many pictures, but here are the few I got:
More Mother's Day
We had a nice, relaxing time at Poppa & Nana's house on Saturday, then went to dinner at...The Red Grape, of course. No breakfast in bed on Sunday morning, but I did get to sleep in to the decadent hour of 8:42 a.m. (when my cell phone rang). Breakfast, bake a cake, hang out, then we headed over to Aunt Becky's house in Vacaville to visit with Ann & Ken, who are getting re-stationed from Hawaii to someplace in Illinois...

More Mother's Day
This is what Thing One brought home from school for me yesterday. She says it has marigold seeds planted in it. Awwww.Thing Two brought a card. She's had a gift hidden in the miasma of her bedroom for a while and has actually been good about not giving it to me yet. Usually, she can't stand to wait and gives me the gift right away. Does this mean she's growing up?
Hubby and the Things just left to go out Mother's Day shopping. Wheeeee!

Knitting Update
To most people, two skeins of Eco Wool doesn't mean a thing. To the knittaz out there (well, the ones who aren't under a Luddite rock), it could only mean one thing, right? Shhh!!! DON'T SAY IT! It's a gift, and on the way-off chance that the recipients see this, I'm not going to say what it is. I knew about the problem with round 35, but even with the corrections, I was still having problems. OK, I'll be honest; it was giving me FITS. I was almost late for a med check appt w/my shrink b/c I was trying to figure it out! After tinking back what felt like a gazillion times (I was starting to fear that the yarn would felt!), I finally found my mistake, and I felt VERY foolish -- the old "Ya gotta do a different kind of yo before a p than you do before a k" problem. Stupid knitter! I bought a clue and put stitch markers between the sections so that when I do hit problems, it will be easier to find my mistakes. It's all going ever so much better now. Thanks for your help, Rebecca!
I hope I can finish this thing before the wedding shower (Saturday, the 31st at 1:00). Whaddaya think, knittaz? (BTW, the recpients aren't knitters, so I *will* be posting progress shots on Ravelry. I'm ericah64 on there.)
On a barely related note: I was soooo tempted to buy one of these today to wear in Mexico this summer (size XL, thank you for asking). After all, Sean's big birthday bash in PV is on WWKIP Day. (OK, I probably wouldn't wear it on the 14th, but I'd wear it on any of the other days.)
The "Surrender yer yarn!" one seems especially appropriate for a sailing trip. Maybe Hubby will see this and get it for me for Mother's Day (since I already used up my Grandma Ruthie money). Hubby? Hubby? Bueller?
Mother's Day Has Begun!
THANKS, Grandma Ruthie!
