Out my window.

Awhile back while driving up the 57, I had to take this photo out the window. (I was in the passenger side.) This is the one time of year the hillsides are pretty. I love these yellow flowers. I refuse to call them weeds. Though, if they took over my yard, I'm sure I'd think differently.

I had M pull over to get a better shot. Here's a bit closer. Aren't they just so light and airy.

And check out my car knitting. It totally matches. Of course I didn't see that until I was home and looking at the photos on Picasa. But, I did like the folds of the green in my lap so I took a shot. This is my 2nd hat. I'm almost done...so I'll felt these soon.

And here's a close up of the bloom. Happy Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sweet!

M went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park on Saturday with his dad. When they got back to our place, my FIL took these FO shots for me. So much easier than taking pictures of your own feet!!! And, he knows what he's doing with aperture and such. I love these socks. And...I love Picasa. I'll have to figure out how to explain this better. But for now...I download photos...then can use Picasa to crop...with out opening Photoshop...then hit the Blogthis button. SWEET! Give it a try if you Google.

***ETA. Jaywalkers in Austermann Step
Started: January 1, 2008
Finished: April 19, 2008

Modifications: I did a Slip, K2tog, PSSO instead of the described dd.

Picasa

Who knew it could be so easy? I'm trying out Picasa for loading photos. These are my finished Jaywalkers. Full post to follow.

PTL!

My tooth popped out in one piece...and the whole thing including the shots and waiting for them to take effect, couldn't have taken more than a 10 minutes. I'd brought my Jaywalker with me in case I had to wait. But, while I didn't have a chance to knit, my sock became quite the topic. All the ladies came in to see this sock. And while holding the one OTN that's about to be kitchenered, someone mentioned that she'd like socks without the toes...and I said there are patterns for those...Pedicure Socks. Anyways, as soon as I can count, those socks will be done. I just need to kitchener the toe on the second sock...but I can't remember at what point I stopped on sock one. I've probably only got another 2-4 rows...so these will be a FO soon.

Ok...I'm going to go hug my boys. They just came home from the Angel's game with M. 2 is off spending the night with Grandma so I can rest.

Stuff about me:

I traveled to Russia and China before I was married. Now I'm scared to get on an airplane. It's not about dying, it's more of a claustrophobic -they closed & locked that door- way.

I just found out last week what my dad said when M asked for permission to marry me. "What took you so long?" I'd kind of heard that before, but I didn't know the background. My dad asked M to go to breakfast with him. Then he had to ask again 6 months later. The 2nd time M was ready and asked for permission. That's when my dad explained all the prior opportunities he had given M. Guess he thought we should get the show on the road. We dated for 5 years before we married, but we wanted to be out of college before we married. And M was waiting until he had the ring and a job that could support us both before he proposed. =0)

I haven't touched snow since I broke my arm my sophomore year in high school. It's not that I won't, but just that I've not had the chance.

I just saw these. And I think I Have To Have THEM. I had the cutest pair when I was in Kindergarten that had red pom poms with a bit of green to look like strawberries. I wore them with my Strawberry Shortcake shirt.

My FAVORITE lipsticks right now Apple Berry, Berry Kiss, and Whipped Berries. I just bought this Berry yarn. See the trend.

I heart IKEA. For many reasons! Tonight I served my family their meatballs for dinner. It's an easy staple for our house. I've bought as many as 10 bags of the frozen meatballs before. In all fairness I was hosting a party and was serving some of the meatballs for that dinner. But, we do eat them a lot. My Swedish Gram even stopped making her own meatballs after an IKEA was built in Emeryville.

Now...tag at least 3 people. Well, I'm going to be medicated tomorrow, so I'll just post this now...but I really can't even think of 3 people, and I've got the kids brushing their teeth...so I'm off to tell a story. M thought he'd be at Bible Study...but instead he's working late. At least he has a job. (I forgot...I haven't mentioned this hear...while things aren't better at work, they're at least stable, and he's staying put for our heath benefits. He'll only go when they make him an offer to leave.) Anyways. If you read this consider yourself tagged. Please let me know in the comments so I can go read your 6 things. I love knowing strange facts about people. =0)

If the drugs are fun tomorow...then I might be out photographing my yard for a Friday Flower. If not, Happy Weekend.
