We NEED to accessorize, right?

Thanks to Becca, I'm addicted to stitch markers. These particular markers. (Don't worry honey....they're cheap). I received my first order today. I just ordered another set. Hey...I had $$ in my Paypal account...what can I say? :-) They're oh so pretty, and as Becca discovered, easier to just buy rather than make. I am knitting lately though, so they won't be wasted. I'm about half-way done with a beanie hat for Mike. Why he wants a hat in the 120 degree Iraq weather, I'll never know. HA! I told him I would try and finish it tonight so I can get it out in his next box. He's bugging me for food, so I had better send it very soon. I have competed a sock too....finished the toe on the match...but you'll have to wait until both are finished to see the picture. The never ending shrug? It really is never-ending. I'm making progress though. :-)
Oh, I must tell my scary story. First, my disclaimer....we aren't morning people. Anyone who knows me in real life, already knows that. lol. I've also had sick kids, and have been ill myself. So, now that that's out of the way, my doorbell rang at 9:05 this morning. NONE of us were up yet. In the back of my mind, I remembered that I had called in a work order for the clogged tub last night. Have I mentioned they are coming out about every other week to unclog my tub? Ugh. Anyway, I had chosen the PM slot on the form. Usually, they abide by that. So, I had pretty much decided it couldn't be the maintenance man. Then, I started freaking out in my mind thinking maybe it was casualty officers coming to tell my that something had happened to Mike. In the mean time, Katie was racing down the stairs to answer the door. I had to nearly push her out of the way to make sure she didn't get to the door first. Thankfully, it WAS just the maintenance man. Stupid guy for not calling first. Until next time.........
