*Snore*

After starting out last week feeling under the weather, I'd pretty much recovered by Friday. So, what did I do on Saturday? Six straight hours of hard labor on our blight-of-the-neighborhood front and back yards. Weed whackering, removing wasted away plants, digging up unidentifiable gigantoriffic alien weeds from hell, trimming back overgrown trees, removing half-dead ivy (when the ivy becomes more of an eyesore than the butt-ugly fence it's covering, it's time for it to go), and so on.

By the time I was done, I was totally wrecked from the neck down (even my ass was sore, still trying to figure that one out). I could barely move, let alone knit! So I spent Saturday and Sunday night flopped on the couch anesthetized with Advil and beer. But, at least that gave Hubster and I a chance to catch up on our Tivo'd backlog of Grey's Anatomy (which I'm starting to lose interest in) and Private Practice (which I'm really digging)!

Needless to say, not much to show on the wip front. Right now, all I really have going is a pair of socks for my dad (which I've naturally dubbed Pop Socks). Kind of a snoozer, just plain ol' 2x2 rib. The colorway is so freakin' dark, nothing else would show up.

2x2 ri....zzzzz.......

I wound the yarn for my Mom's scarf, but won't cast on until this weekend, when the socks will hopefully be done. (For Christmas knitting, I've found it helps to focus on one wip at a time, they seem to FO faster that way.) After that, I'll just need to whip out four hats and then it's back to knitting for me!
