Shiver Me Timbers

Brr... it sure is almost temperate in here! That's right, folks. We are the proud new owners of a Frederich Energy Star 12,000 BTU air conditioner. She purrs like a kitten. 

I know what you're thinking (maybe)... It's almost the end of the summer, why did you get it now? Well, we tried hard to resist, but frankly the past few weeks have been so humid and gross that it was making us irritable. In order to keep the peace, we made the investment. The animals seem to be loving it. They are all in the living room (cat on the steps) chillin' out with their greenies. Can't wait to have our friends over for dinner in our new "chill spot." 

Brrrrr,

Alexis

Knitwit

I wish I had some great quote to use comparing my life to knitting... but at this point I am a failure at knitting, so we'll hold off on the deep thoughts.

Yesterday Jess Noel (Tex) and I went on a journey for groceries and a wooden crate... we wound up with food, a wooden crate, yarn, knitting needles, and shoes. It was a successful trip. However, the success ended as soon as we got to Jess' house and she wanted to teach me to knit. Honestly, I thought it was doing pretty well, and then everything fell apart when I went home and tried to knit without her professional supervision. I tried and tried to get what I had when I was at Jess' but, frankly, I am knitting-challenged.

We'll see how long this hobby lasts...

The hobby killer,

Alexis

Knitting Mess: Take 3

Figured I'd give it another go and stuck, hooped, looped and pulled while waiting for Justin to let me know what time he'd be home for dinner. I am having a hard time believing that this knotty mess will some how magically turn into cozy scarf... also having a hard time believing that I've spent more time than I'd like to specify sitting here to make an inch of this knotty mess. Jess informed me I was a slow knitter yesterday. I'll try and pick up the pace.
