One Crazy Fiber Lady

Today has developed into a typical awful Monday.   I had a very lovely, if very busy, weekend.  My sister, BIL and the little ones came for the weekend.  While they were supposed to go to Sesame Place on Saturday (and the twins and I were supposed to go here) we wound up spending the day together at home.  My goofy sister left her pre-paid discount tickets to Sesame Place back home in the middle of Pennsylvania.  They deemed a 4 hour drive to get them and then to the park just not worth it.  I agree.  I got baby snuggle time.  The kids went in the pool and then we all headed to a local fair.  

The carnival was in the parking lot of the mega-mall and sponsored by the North Jersey D.A.R.E.  The kids had alot of fun but it was wicked expensive.  

Yesterday was a family reunion of sorts.  My first cousin D, lives in Virginia with her 2 boys, is preggers with #3, was up in the NY area with the kids and her fiance.  Her sister, J, lives out on Long Island with her son.  So everyone including my aunt and uncle, my sisters, their spouses and all the kids converged on my house for a bbq and pool party.  It was a fabulous day.  We managed to get a photograph of the whole mishpucha.  It was amazing, a photo with 22 people, everyone with their eyes open and smiling.  I need to download it from my big arsed camera and email it around.

Today? ¬†Not so good. ¬†Alex has a dentist appointment as he had a cavity in his two front teeth that a filing just won’t stay in. ¬†Dr. K is trying one more thing before I just throw up my hands and wait for the damn teeth to fall out in the next year or so. ¬†Oy. ¬†The enamel on kidlet teeth is too brittle to actually hold fillings well.

I went back to the lot where I can park legally and of course got stuck by that stupid truck backing into the food company’s lot. ¬†This was AFTER he tied up traffic backing out of the same stupid lot. ¬†Sigh. ¬†I’ve called to check into the availability of a permit for the other lot and need to wait to see if someone who already holds one has opted out of this year’s renewal. ¬†Double sigh. ¬†

On the up side, I preordered Sims 3 today. ¬†I’ll pick it up at the Gamestop across the street tomorrow ¬†I decided not to schlep my macBook today but as of Friday evening managed to get my Torch Holder Karl to perma-plat level and passed the torch to his alien offspring Hera. ¬†She’s now in her sophomore year at the university where she’s on Dean’s List and working on her skills for her future career as an adventurer! ¬†Yes I do know they aren’t real ¬†We’ll see how much I’ll go back to them after I get the new one installed tomorrow.

I’m just about done with the current sock project:

I’ll probably have it done this evening.

Craft on!
