Due to lack of blog energy, irritations with Typepad and excessive "time to get off the computer" energy...I'm shutting 'er down for a bit. Feel free to stop by and enjoy the music. Over and out, folks.

Somebody Stop Me!!
I have a lot of knitting projects going on but I finished one of them yesterday.
MISS THANG!!
On the celebrity front, US Weekly is trying to lure me back by sending me free issues. I know more about Jessica Simpson's eating habits than I ever wished to know. And I did see Joaquin on Letterman and really don't know what to say other than maybe LSD? If they still make that. Oh and if you like all things "country" and movies about pigs, might I recommend Gordy. When I selected it for the girls to watch with my remote I had no idea that it was a country western movie on location in Branson, MO AND featured Boxcar Willie. That movie is more country than HeeHaw (Roy Clark is in it too)!!! Still recovering from that.
Valentine parties are today at the elementary school - I got the girls some special pants for the day.
Erin got a pair too but she's eating her cereal. Nate got new jeans (didn't want you to think I left him out). Three cheers for Boden clearance!!

Greetings from the sick ward...
Been battling various illnesses here and doing a lot of EXTRA laundry if you catch my drift.
There has been some Yo Gabba Gabba dance along going down:
Finally finished a new hat for Chris (my poor BIG baby has been sick too):
And my IGF Tracy sent some fabulous crocheted snacks to go with the tea set...
Which were a huge hit and earned me several minutes of peace. Thanks T - you frock!!

TGIF...as usual
Here is one of my latest numbers....orders from the other three are pouring in of course!!
Free pattern here, which I tweaked a little and I used Manos (116)! And the fabric flower I bought online from this little shop...super cute stuff!! Working on converting the koi pond into a sheep pen....I need my own wool source. Ha!
For those of you who don't know...our backyard contains a fully covered, fenced in koi pond, sans the koi. We need to tear it all out as we do NOT need a wading pool in the backyard. But it's one of those things we haven't gotten to...it's a total eyesore and will require a city dumpster for all the wreckage.
Yes Virginia, there is a koi pond under there. Or so we've been told. How did I get on this topic?
Happy Weekend to each and every one of you!

Not much...
Nate moved up a level in swimming yesterday - he's actually forming a stroke. So he got a special ice cream date with his dad last night.
I got caught up in an E! True Hollywood Story of J-Lo yesterday. It was background noise really. It's THS now...which I don't like;True Hollywood Story is much more dramatic. I was reminded of the hysteria that was once called Bennifer. Ah, those were the days. I wonder what Jennifer Garner thinks of her husband's P-Diddy days?
I started knitting hats yesterday for the girls (on the down low). They've been asking me what I'm knitting and I tell them "I'm not sure." They have accepted that. They are pretty easy, for now anyway.
Today I'm trying to find the Valentine goods. The tub is hiding from us somewhere. I'm a little behind on the decorations but have some new crafts up my sleeve to make for this year. As well as some treats.
It's super sunny and supposed to be in the upper 60s today. Unreal. I need to soak up a little sun. Ciao!!

Poor Michael....
When this story broke Chris and I decided it wasn't him. But then he admitted it...so now we're just laughing. And so is the dude at the party who snapped the picture...laughing all the way to the bank! While Michael will probably lose a few endorsements, maybe he can be the new "face" of Graffix bongs!
I actually watched some of the Super Bowl last night. Wow. But I'm glad I got to see the 100 yard touchdown and last touchdown. Pretty exciting. But my favorite thing of note was Clarence Clemmons' glittery/sequined robe (no photo available at this time - LAME photographers). I think he's trying out for the next Matrix movie.
So all you Tampa Bay-ers out there...who got the after party at Mons ? The Steelers or the Cardinals? I did not enter the Mons site...too much clearance for so early in the morning. I need a cuppa joe in hand before I tackle that one. So enter at your own risk.
Say what you will but I've provided y'all with a PRETty spicy post for a Monday, eh?
Forgive me, I almost forgot...Happy Groundhog's Day. I've heard Punxsutawney Phil is a stoner too.
