IS THIS WEEK OVER YET?

I work all five days this week and that is very tough to do.  You tend to get used to only 4 days so when it's all 5 days... well I would rather not.  Next week I have four and one half days off in a row and that is lovely to think about.  Especially since none of my family will be around so I will do nothing but relax! 

That makes it sound like I don't want my kids home but that is not even close to the truth.  While I look forward to the time off, I would love it even more if my kids were home.  But they aren't so I am trying to look on the bright side of it. 

Christmas is just not the same without at least one of them home.  I did not even decorate this year.  No tree, no stockings, no lights ... nothing.  I know that sounds depressing and it sorta is, BUT I did not have to do all that work!  So, the conclusion of all this is:  GETTING OLD SUCKS!

This past weekend was knitting fun at Rolling Ridge.  That was really fun.  The weather was perfect and I got to bring Nestle who had a ball.  All those laps to sit on!  She was very well behaved (except for one little incident we don't need to mention).  I hope to bring her again.  I think she liked it.  (Except for the modeling.  She could have lived without that!)

We went to see "A Dickens of a Carol" on Sunday and it was great.  It's one of those plays where the audience is sort of part of it.  It included dinner which was much better than either Frank or I expected.  We loved it.  We went with 3 other women and spouses from my book club.

Not much knitting to report due to the knitters elbow injury.  I have one or two pairs of slippers to finish.  I lost and found my quivit.  That was scary.  I may start the pretty thing cowl while I am off.  I started a scarf that is much more difficult than it should be. 

We did try the knitting machine I bought at a yard sale.  Ended up throwing it out.  Even Denise could not figure it out and it kept breaking.  Oh well, I tried.

Knitting tonight.  We are having a Christmas party.  I even brought a gift to give away.  Should be fun!!!!
