Friday, March 30th, 2007
What a way to end the week.
Look at this cutie pie knit by the Knitting School Dropout:
I love it so much when you guys send in your FO photos!!
This one is so cute, like a little cupcake. With the pink, and the red buttons…DARLING!! Melissa lengthened the sweater, and skipped the lace at the bottom. Way GO on the awesome mods!!
(Look at me, I’m all !! today!!)
I know you guys are way more blog-savvy than me, but lookie what I just found:
Veronik is such a neat person. So *SO* nice and incredibly talented. (Hopefully she’ll tell us all about how she does what she does so well!)

Sunday, March 25th, 2007
I started doing our taxes yesterday…and even with Turbo Tax…doing taxes sucks. Next year, I’m hiring a CPA. And that’s not an idle threat!
Here’s something I did over break:

Spring Brrrrreaaaaak!
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007
We just got back from a really fun weekend!
I went up to Kingston (map) with Nate and two of our friends. One of the friends (to remain nameless in order to protect the allergy-ridden) had to go home early because the Juniper trees were killing him.
Here are some photos that I think really represent the trip:
Joclyn and Eric
This is what’s known as purgatory…the balcony above the fire pit. The construction is completely handmade and designed and built by Jocy’s dad. COOL!
We went for a walk in the woods and found the exact spot where they were married two years ago!
ROCKS!
Later, we ate steaks and potatoes, cooked on the grill and went for a drive at night into the woods.
Here’s a photo of how *that* went:
We ended up with a flat tire, no flashlight, and used the red light from the focus on the camera as a light…occasionally accidentally snapping funny pics.
I’m STILL amazed that we got that tire changed! The next day was really casual…hike around Kingston, the cemetery, and lots of hanging out knitting, talking, eating, and drinking.
It was so great to get up into the mountains and relax for a few days. No phone. No internet. A real Spring break!
