After I last signed off, I experienced some kind of super human bout of exhaustion that drained me for the balance of the week. Last Sunday evening I was planning on submitting a post featuring my joyful bouquet of miniature roses, but instead I cut my thumb rather drastically, requiring two half-hour car rides, one two-hour emergency room wait, one confused ortho consult physician, one sarcastic general ER physician, three stitches, and six chicken nuggets (my comfort food of choice at midnight).
The irony of it was that I spent the entire day Sunday making sausages, that is, cutting, grinding, seasoning and stuffing meat into sausage form, and did not get injured. When I got home, I made a salad for myself and Mr. Frogged and promptly attempted thumb-sassination.
Since then, my knitting has suffered, let me tell you! But on the other hand, my end weaving in has almost been completed, however this only means that I am to a point in the ripple blanket where I can CONTINUE crocheting and then weave in more ends...will the madness never cease!? By the time it's completed the infant will be walking, talking, and going to prom at this rate. I'm a bit concerned about my sock-knitting rate though as I'm aiming to enter these socks in the Knit One Heart 2 KAL due next Wednesday and I'm not even past the heel turn yet.
The Mister and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary on Valentine's day and to honour this he planned us a beautiful day together on the Saturday prior to both February 14th and the thumb-slicing incident. Of course it went completely pear shaped, but it was the thought that counts. We were supposed to go skating together, as we are apt to do on Valentines, when we woke up to a beautifully Canadian high of -25 degrees celcius with the windchill. That kiboshed that plan. Plan B. Matinee showing of The Vow, it's just so sappy it might work, but alas, it was sold out. So, we watched the not at all romantic Chronicle, which was just about the most stressful movie I've ever watched! I needed to knit on my socks just to avoid getting anxiety-induced tremors. Fortunately dinner went well and was absolutely delicious.
I would say that would catch you up to PositiviTuesday this week. I'm going to change up the positiviTuesday report a bit and instead of giving some positive news I'll try to review something (recipe, book, pattern, yarn, movie... you get the idea) each week, so that you can then go out and make your own positivity with whatever that happens to be.
In any case, this week what I've been loving is hanging with my parents who have been in town from Florida. It was my mom's #&th birthday (when you get to be her age, the number needs to be censored) and we threw here a party and spent lots of family time together. It was awesome.
I've also been loving hanging out with the Mister on this family day long weekend. We barely changed out of our pj's on Monday and it was just what I was looking for in a holiday.
This week I'm looking forward to having my in-laws and friends over this weekend and cooking. It's been some time since I've cooked a new recipe and I think I'm trying something a bit different this weekend. I'm also looking forward to visiting my parents in Florida in a week. We were going to go to Legoland, but they are closed on Wednesdays (who knew?) and instead we'll be going to Universal. The greatest part is that Mister Frogged has never been to either place so I get to see it through his eyes either way.
As for a review, this week I will review my latest and greatest book, The Help. I've not finished the book yet, but I'm about half way through and I'm really enjoying the writing style. I like that it is written in such a way that I can hear the characters in their southern drawl in my mind and feel like I'm that much closer to them. Sometimes it tends to drag a bit but all in all, I highly recommend the book. I will be continuing through it and then watching the movie for comparison purposes, although I never like the movie version as much.
Well, I think that about sums it up for me today. I wish you a wonderful week and Happy Crafting one and all.
