Confession

Since I have had the pleasure of being welcomed into the Fiber RAOK web ring, I confess; I have been sidetracked with endless hours of surfing all of the great blogs out there. So much so that my poor saddened needles and attached project have been carelessly tossed on the floor under my computer, patiently waiting for me to start knitting. Today I vow to mend, NO, KNIT, my ways. Enough shlumping in front of the computer. I'ts time to get knitting. Photos of completed projects to follow.

Viva Las Vegas

Ahhhh... there's no place like home. We arrived home from Vegas at 1am this morning...nothing like jet lag to make your first day back to work suck. Anyway, Vegas,Vegas, Vegas. I love Vegas. As usual, we hit our favorite spot, The Bellagio, (our usual home away from home). We played some craps, blackjack and three card poker. Lost too much there, but decided to keep giving them our money by spending more BIG bucks at the Petrossian Cafe. I LOVE CAVIAR!!!!!!! Did I mention that: I LOVE CAVIAR? Since it was my b-day, we splurged. We sipped iced vodka and ate those pearly, sparkling, yummy little fish eggs. A birthday girls heaven. I even wore my tiara. (see att'd picture). Then we went back to our hotel....The Palms Casino...great place to stay if you don't mind looking at young, over pumped guys and girls with overfilled, big ass breast implants. Well, We ate. We gambled. We lost; and I knitted. Yes I said knitted?? Is that right? or did I knit? Someone please correct my grammar. Believe it or not. After I lost my daily, self inflicted, allowance. I donned the role as a "good poker wife". I met my husband in the poker room, sat behind him, oohh'd and aahh'd over his hands and yes, you guessed it, I knit. (or knitted!?) I know....just testing your 8th grade grammar skills. I was the perfect poker wife - you know, stand by her man, in this case sit behind him, and knit. Then again, if I were truly a good poker wife, I wouldn't be there at all...Ha Ha Ha... p.s. - Lenny wanted to take my picture knitting in the poker room, so that I could post it on my blog, but much to our dismay, no cameras allowed in the poker room. Tonight I went out for an evening of Birthday celebrating at Bar in NH with our good friends, D & M....I love my b-day gifts, and am now ready to get some sleep. Next post...........Bubbles the cat and her "yarn enima"!
