SOCK IT TO ME, BABY!

Yeah baby, they are done! I only had to redo the cuffs, three times. I am still trying to work that out, but they are done!

I can finally start on hubby's socks. I need to do that while it's day light out. Our house is dark and I don't have the greatest lighting to do the cast ons. He has a fairly dark green yarn for his and I want to be sure I don't make any mistakes.

Hubby (for Valentine's day) bought me some Regia Crazy Colours sock yarn for our oldest daughter. He also bought me more Addi Turbos (size 3) anda very cool book by the "Yarn Harlot". Great reading!

We have had bad weather 2 weekends in a row. Last friday, ok friday before last...anyway, I got hit by a police car. Yup! We were stopped because of another accident that was clearing out. The snow was really starting to come down and I was sitting there, ready to make a left hand turn. Signals on, looking in my mirrors, I get ready to make the turn and BAM! Mr. police man comes up on my left from behind, no lights, sirens, nuttin'... and swipes the whole right side of his car. His side mirror hanging precariously, he pulled off the road. MEANWHILE, I lose it. I am at full hilt sobbing and wailing. You can imagine what I am thinking..."I HIT A COP! OF ALL THINGS TO DO! I HAVE TO HIT A COP!" well, the long and short of it is, It was his fault and the city police dept. will be paying for the damages. Thank goodness, the children were with me and did not get hurt. Had we been a few seconds earlier turning, he would have T- boned us and hit right where I was or hit my youngest daughter. It really rattled my nerves, but the van doesn't seem to have any extensive damage.

Ok, we are going on week 3 of getting Direct TV to install our dish. Weather, and maybe not being available in our area, was getting to be a real strain. I won't go into it, but I was about this close ( ) to telling them to keep the dern thing, I was sick of the hoopla. They will be out tomorrow to install it < yeah, we'll see.

Everyone is still going thru and getting over colds. I think my son had a touch of the flu last week. Thank goodness, I didn't get that. We are all doing well, staying busy, maybe not busy enough, the house looks a wreck! But it seems like we are always busy at something....hmmmmm....I'll have to think about that one. LOL

I need to post and go...have a good afternoon, God Bless and keep warm!
