yeay!

so my sockpal got her socks today. i have a new respect for the ups store i just mailed those puppie sout monday morning. wow!

my sockpal was patty. in connecticut. and she told me in an email this morning that she loves the socks. score! and now i can tell you all that when the exchange first started i had about 4 inches done on the socks and there was an update on the blue blog saying what sock people were kitting, and i almost died. because the photo patty had posted for the socks she was going to make for her pal were almost the same socks i was making. similar colors and pattern. too funny huh. i went ahead and made them though cause well...you knit what you like right? anyway. i just had to share. it has been a ton of fun knitting for patty and waiting for her to receive the package. its kinda sad its all over now :(

except i haven't seen my socks yet so i'm still excited about that :)

oh and believe it or not with all i have to get done before i leave for italy and with graduation and all, i offered to be a sock savior. yes i am insane! we shall see if i am picked. if not i have some gorgeous mountain colors that i'll just have to keep for myself :)

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
