So last week I was on vacation and I was so ready to do some knitting. Well that didn't happen. I spent two days at the car wash getting my car detailed. Then I had to run errands for my mom. On my vacation!!!! I did get a little bit of sewing and knitting in but it was very little. I found myself realizing that everyone wants a some of your time when you are vacationing at home. You don't even have to tell anyone that you are on vacation, its like they just happen to call you in the middle of a work day and say:

"What are you doing home?"

"Um.... nothing." (shoot, wrong answer)

"Oh, are you on vacation?"

Don't say it. Don't say it. " Yeah."

"Oh well since your not busy do you want to (fill in the blank)?"

" Well, I really want to get some knitting done this week."

" You can do that anytime. I'll be there in five minutes." Click.

I guess some people don't take me seriously when I say that I want to knit or just relax. I get a little cranky when I don't have that time to myself. They just keep calling me. And when I don't answer my phone they hang up and call back 6 times!

All I need is a little time here people.

Well, today has not been a good one. As I have mentioned before I am moving to Oklahoma in a few months and I can not keep my dog. My mother does not want take care of her for me until I can and so I have tried to find her a home. But sadly today I had to take her to the Humane Society here in Lexington.If you have never experienced it, you are not missing anything.I felt like I was giving up my only child and most of my heart went with them. She was a good dog, very calm, loved to play with anyone who would play with her, scared to death of storms, and loved to eat. I have been sad about it all day and I am praying that the Lord will find her a good home.

Well, I have officially had enough of the weather here in Kentucky. One day its 80 degrees and the next day it is snowing. What's up with that!. I thought that it was supposed to be spring. Now don't get me wrong I am used to the weather being a little weird in Kentucky this time of year, but this is not normal.

But anyway,about knitting. I am now working on the shawl that I showed y'all part of in a previous post. There are three different kinds of yarn in three different colors. Now that I am working on it I am not so sure that the colors will look right together. If you remember or want to look at the earlier post, the yarns are a not so red color, a coral color and a natural color. I think that the two reds are going to clash, but I didn't buy enough of any of them the make just one item. Now I have to combine them. Wait! Is that why they tell newbies to talk to a LYS employee before you buy the yarn? Now I understand.

I didn't post any pictures of it because I didn't want to bore you with the one panel that I have finished.

Until next time kids!!!
