YOU, yes you, you lurking knitter you, are needed to help out.
Go here and read all about it. Sign up, then reward yourself by reading Gale's blog and ooh-ing and ahh-ing over her fabulous photography.
That Gale is a talented lady, ya'll. Let's help her out! I'm doing up a tasty pink version of Hello Yarn's Cherry Garcia neck tube. Quick and easy, knit-in-the-round, and ooooh, so cuddly.
Spot is on the mend; still looks funny from all the shaving they did, but his heart's beating in rhythm again and he's almost off all the other meds, too.
*sigh* happy me.
A dabbler's diary. Blah, blah, blah.

Next?
This is so cool.
Norma's doing it. She rocks.
My turn now!
I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days. That is my promise. The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
Your turn now!

I know that there are lots of you with furry ones at home, and I'm asking for some good thoughts from you. Our sweet boy was rushed in for surgery this afternoon--he's stable and resting now. We're hoping to go see him within the hour. Please give hugs and kisses and pats to all of your dear animals tonight. Thanks.

Day o' rest
Not much going on here, and that's what I like about Sundays. I have officially given S the day off--he gets to do or NOT do whatever he wants today. He's got football on and is working a crossword puzzle as we speak.
The girlie is discovering the joy of e-mail with a friend; I've pried her off the box so that she can practice before a guitar lesson with her cool 19-year old cousin.
Me? I'm debating scarf patterns for a friend and planning a couple of quick errands to use up the kiddo's lesson time. Then home to make some Thanks Boxes (info on those later), start a roast for dinner, and off to softball! Finals tonight.
The camera has scampered off to Sanyo in California for some spa and repair time. Meanwhile, in lieu of photos, this I love:
