Snowboarding and a sidenote of knitting




So my knitting blog is turning into my photo blog of kid misc. "stuff" aw what the hell, big damn dirty deal. Knitting details follow below....

Chloe has been hitting the slopes every Sunday for the month of January. She has taken up this new-found love for snowboarding (aka: Daddy and daughter bonding). So I have to share. See above.

Now for my comments on all that freaks a Mom out!

Okay and thank the holy stars of the universe that I wasn't around when my first born child in the care of her father whom I trust (when I'm not there and have to) was raised up in the metal contraption of the "lift" above those crazed bastards flying high on peppermint shnapps and who knows what "else" okay I'll say it "ELSE". Whoa! don't I sound all grown up and maternal now on my holy horse.

Off to ride that horse into the distance...hang on...! So, we were talking about my first born on a lift HIGH above the slopes while I'm sure her father waits all beaming proud below capturing it all on video tape. Uh huh! He's gonna get the lecture of his life :) I love you BTW Edward :). Were those enough smilies to keep a marriage alive?

On to things that make me less frightened of the world and my children in it.
Knitting: On the needles right this instant are a pair of incredibly cute (or so *I* invision them to be) soaker (ok) sweater pants (with ruffles). They will be off the needles tonight and ready to sew together by noon.

Self imposed restriction

I haven't picked up my sticks to knit anything for days. I have myself on restriction until my house gets in order. It is actually motivating me to clean. I am aiming for Monday to be able to knit again. I figure I'll have caught up on the mess by then. :eek:

Nice mind games I play huh?

But...!! It has worked so well. I have my office all decluttered and shined up, 4 closets in order, a junk drawer decluttered and I'm going to tackle the kitchen later today.

It is back breaking work this whole "keeping your house tidy thing" and I don't know how well I'll be keeping it up.

In other news I've joined an "Adventure Group" and various camping groups to get some information on exploring the great NW. Edward mentioned to me that the adventure group might just be an undercover singles group. Geez, I hope not that would be uncomfortable tomorrow night at the first meeting. I'm thinking of joining this group too, it looks exactly what I'm looking for.
