Triple S

Sundays, socks, and The Sopranos--these are a few of my favorite things! Today was a fairly relaxing day. I watched a couple of movies I hadn't seen, hung out with the kids, and did some laundry. Actually, I did all of my laundry today. I don't think I remember the last time I did every single load in one day! But I digress...I had to rip back several rows of gusset work on my Broadripple since I hadn't, for whatever reason, been doing any decrease rows. Now it's true that I had a small amount to drink on Friday, but that couldn't have been it. Oh well, I'm back on the right track now. And I got to watch another great episode with my boy Tony Soprano--I'm seriously gonna miss that show. I must've been a criminal in a former life, 'cause I thoroughly enjoy watching mob misdeeds! ; )

I also purchased a couple of toys for my baby, who turns three tomorrow! I baked him a special cake and will frost it tomorrow when I get home from work. All ingredients are canine-friendly, of course. Unlike his father, who wanted to bake a carrot cake (the box kind) and put people frosting on it! This is a picture of my Gessel, my tiny son:
Well, he's not so little anymore, but I still remember taking Evie (our Lab) to go and pick out her new brother. All the other puppies were a little scared of her but not him! He sat right next to her as I tried desperately to get a photo of them. Of course she would not cooperate, being a princess and all, so he crawled over to my purse to check out its contents.
In typical terrier fashion, he has no fear and is the biggest dog in the room! All hail the little prince!

I'm a Block-head!

I just ordered my first pair of sock blockers and they are a-maz-ing! Thanks to a tip from Margene, whose blog I enjoy reading, I found Becky at Leggy Creations. She makes each pair of blockers herself and they are truly works of art. My pair is named Day and Night - Version II. She kindly sent me a few photos and gave me permission to use them here. So without further ado, here are my blockers:

I really am quite pleased with them. I've always had a penchant for day/night themes, and anyone who knows me well knows how much I love all things aquatic.
I am especially loving the fish with the two eyeballs! He just has a special personality all his own. As my friend M remarked, "That is the coolest fish EVER!" LOL
So anyway, happy Saturday to you and yours. I'm off to clean the house (not enthusiastically I might add) and then to see what kind of shenanigans I can get myself into. F-bomb is gone for the weekend (maybe coming home today, but not sure), so the pups and I are just going to have fun.
