Mariah yarn has arrived!!

Mariah yarn has arrived!! Here are the nine balls of russett I ordered from Joann.com. I think this color is going to look awesome with the cables. Speaking of cables...

I also received this pattern book. I really like the cardi on the front. Yes, I am obsessed with cabled cardigans. Gotta problem with that?! Cables keep it interesting!

So yesterday was my first day of vacation. Ever notice how vacation turns into "Stuff I am going to get done while I am off since I couldn't get it done while I was working"? Well, yesterday I was up early and got my car serviced (3000 mile maintenance), took Yoda to the groomer, when 'grocery shopping' at Costso, bought some gifts at the mall, picked up Yoda, wrapped the presents, fell on the couch exhausted. I was going to go to knit night last night, but I was more tired running around than when I work!! Jeremy said he gets the same way. At least I know he might understand when we have kids...

Tomorrow I am helping my sister in her classroom. They are making gingerbread houses. One mom baked all the pieces for every kid!! That is one over achieving mom!! I would take picks, but I think there is some rule against posting the kids pictures on the internet--I can understand why. Maybe I'll get some picks of the yummy houses!
