  Ah, home. There is nothing like being home, and being in the company of cats. :) The cats were more than happy to see us return (though their "grandparents" had been watching over them while we were away), and I believe Finnegan must weigh at least 15 pounds now due to the erratic performance of his overpriced urlLink auto-feeder .
Our trip to Georgia was very nice. We did lots of stuff -- rented a pontoon, I swam in a river for the first time ever, we visited the incredible urlLink Callaway Gardens , and ate lots of vacation food. The weather was really nice, and all-in-all, it was a good little getaway. I had no trouble getting my bamboo knitting needles with Eros scarf on the plane either way, so that was a definite plus. I spent a few hours here and there knitting that scarf throughout the weekend, and it's almost done. Yay. :) Also of note, in a rare moment of unabashed honesty, as we were driving from the airport to Ft. Benning at some ungodly hour Thursday night, my husband (obviously in a state of fatigued delirium) informed me that my singing of lite rock favorites was actually quite terrible.
That was the thanks I got for trying to keep him awake. Hrmph . This morning, on the way into work, I serenaded him to Elton John's Tiny Dancer and he actually used the word "abuse. " Again, hrmph . Oh, and I got to feed real, live turtles at Callaway Gardens, and they were so cute! (...in the "wild" anyway; not sure if I'd want one at home. ) Finnegan is definitely going to be a turtle this Halloween.
So, knitting-wise, the affordably luxurious Eros scarf is almost complete. This week, in addition to finishing it, I'm planning on doing the second panel of my poncho, and working on the cat bed some more. Finally, R2's paper yarn color urlLink pinkish is my new favorite color, hence the new background color. I had set that Friday, but didn't republish the blog, so I guess it showed up with urlLink Michelle's urlLink comment from the other day. urlLink Nora is making a tank with the R2, which I had the opportunity to see last week (it's gorgeous). I had just bought some the previous Saturday for a urlLink Polly -type urlLink scarf (which I now think I will combine with urlLink green and/or blue ), so I'm excited about that.
:) That's all for now...
