Ten...nine....eight...seven....

The countdown has been continuing and now it's time for blast off! Em will be home late tonight from Orlando, and then we will set off for Oklahoma tomorrow to finally be a family. Well, an update to the whole "travel trailer" situation. It's been sold by B's grandparents, so instead we will be living with his parents for hopefully just 2 weeks. I'm not necessarily sure if the girls and I will be there the entire time. We might take off to my grandparents' house at the lake for some of those days. ILs are not too happy about the new member of our family. I received Lilee Ann as a going away present from a lady at work yesterday. She is a 3 month old Jack Russell Terrier puppy. Em and B know about the dog, but Nan will be completely suprised. It will be interesting traveling 600 miles with a 6.5 y/o, a puppy, and a van full of crap!

On the knitting front, I have been doing quite a bit. However, with no way to upload pictures (I'm using the public library computers) until tomorrow you'll just have to take my word for it. I found a super easy pattern at Lion Brand Yarn's website and made the Royal Pet Afghan for her. I'll probably finish it sometime today. I also have been making a TON of the Mason Dixon Warsh Rags. In fact, there were 13 of them. I only have one left however because I wrapped them up and put soap in them and gave them as presents to staff members that I'll miss. I ahve a list of things I need to do for gifts this summer:
  • More warshrags
  • a few more chemo caps (I finished one before the moving fiasco started)
  • a pair of socks for my friend Barb (my best girlfriend here in Nebraska)
  • a pair of socks for my friend Mary Lou (the lady who gave me an AKC puppy for FREE)
  • a baby kimono
  • some fun things for the girls

Well that is all until tomorrow night. I'll probably get some online time depending on how late I get in to town. Could my spoiler from SP8 drop me a line on my gmail? I have some updated information to send you!

I am not really a dog lover but friends of mine have a Jack Russell and they are just gorgeous. Good luck with the 'big move'!!!
