what a pain in the ....

Next week is my birthday. This week we got snow and ice



I understand it is winter, but these sweeping changes to the weather is making me more schitzo than I'm used.

We have one of these so I really shouldn't complain

It did a good job


There were layers of ice and snow that even Hercules wouldn't have been able to lift.

If I can get to the store to buy more batteries for the camera, I'll show you my next sock projects. That's right, plural. You know, ADD.

Meanwhile the van has died. $2000 to get it fixed. Let's think of swell birthday presents one could buy with $2000??

The entire palette of Malabrigo
A sleek laptop
All the books I didn't get around to buying last year
Scalped tickets to see the Police at Madison Square Garden (can ya help me??)

Maybe I can sell the snow blower...

  1. oh wow, Deborah, that's a lot of snow! and a lot of money for a broken van. I'm sorry to hear that.

    so, how many socks do you have on the go? I know how addictive sock knitting can be.

  2. Can't wait to see the socks. Very exciting stuff.

    As someone with a van needing some care, I can sympathize. Bummer, bummer, bummer. I'd rather have a racy new laptop myself.

    But speaking of racy, that snow blower is pretty darn slick! We only get the kind of snow that needs one once a year or so, but that's enough to give me snow-blower-envy.

    Stay warm. Knit socks!

  3. You are lucky you could clear your driveway. We got mostly ice and it's very thick on our driveway. I think we will have ice until May. No sun to melt it :(

    Sorry about your van :(

    Can't wait to see your sock project(S)

    happy knitting :)
