What day is it?

I keep hearing it is March 31, but the weather outside is frightning!
SNOW SNOW SNOW!
Don't get me wrong, I love winter and downhill skiing, but what good does all this snow do when the slopes are closed? At first I was thinking all the snow advisories were just a very well coordinated April Fools joke - I guess not. I wonder a what a snow day on April Fools day would be like? Me at home trying to knit or read and my kids planning & pulling pranks all day long on me - or worse yet, each other (I can just hear the fighting!).

Well, I guess I hope that they go to school tomorrow. It is my normal day off, and I truly appreciate the peace and quiet. Plus I have a few errands to run, so I don't want to be tethered by them.

Change of subject (my husband wishes I would say that aloud often in our conversations so he can follow along easier). Took Mocha (new puppy - see earlier posts) for a walk yesterday. I am so impressed! Not to brag, but she is training up really nicely.

Confession: Gunnar's room was completed as far as painting during my break, but his furniture is still not back in place and the wall stickies aren't up. Still some work remaining.

I guess this isn't too bad because I only have 6 UFO's, One only needs buttons and another is hibernating. I am trying to just finish projects this month, but I know I am going to break down and buy something during the April 4 Yarn Tasting at Amazing Threads. I also have this really strong desire to start up a couple of different socks.

Oh great yarn stash - keep me from adding to you this month! Anyone out there can help try to keep me accountable.

Wednesday - "hump day"

Well, I guess we are getting over the "hump" of getting Gunnar's room done. The primer is done, dry and the 1st coat of the blue is almost done. It will need a second coat - oh well. Then we get to do the bottom part of the walls in a green - I know that will be two coats - covering up old sponge paint job.

Last night I got to visit with my neighborhood group. The four of us are all the first born, daughters, names with K or D, and often feel like we are giving the soap opera's a run for their money as far as funky family stuff. We also always meet after 8:30pm and never get home before midnight - often way later than that!

So since I last made note, here are the accomplishments:
  • seamed baby dress (need to work on my knit garment seaming)
  • looked for buttons for above dress - will have to go to store (maybe tomorrow)
  • e-mailed some friends
  • watched 7th heaven
  • primer done in G's room
  • 1st coat of blue done
  • will attend "3" tonight with church Jr. Higher's
  • more laundry
  • read
  • knit more on M's pink T - still hoping done by Easter?!?!?
Feeling quite lazy today (up to late last night?) - probably will be reading/knitting for the rest of today.
