it's beginning to feel a lot like fall...

finally

the windows are open and the fans are on and there is not a ton of humidity. its actually bearable. now is summer were like this!!!

and if you walk into your local starbucks it looks like christmas. thats right folks i helped out with the dark set for holiday roll out tonight and i've never opened so many cardboard boxes in my entire life. holy cow. the worst of it. out landlord won't provide recycling friendly containers on the property. so it all went into the dumpster!!! sigh. but there are so many cute things it's enough to make you crazy. fortunately i don't think i want any of the mugs this year. which is good. we loaded up on clearance halloween and the cupboards are jammed ;)

and i know i've been lax, but i promise i have wonderful things to show you. both things sent and received. for the hogwarts swap. but my camera is on the fritz again. i'm gonna get new batteries tomorrow and see if it works. otherwise i'll be smuggling dave's away to do a knitting photo shoot :)

and i have socky and hatty updates to post too. but again the camera. sigh. don't you hate technology!

I had that problem in Utah - my landlady didn't believe in recycling, or something like that. Ridiculous!

I was down at Avalon today and saw the little red penguin! Adorable.

I can't believe Waterford doesn't have recycle dumpsters. Man, they need to get with it!

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...

and a last farewell...before i ripped out sunrise circle i took a parting photo...this sweater was jus tnot meant to be. too many other things wanted to be finished first. soon to come the bad penny 2 that i'm making for my trip to italy!

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
