TGIF

Last weekend we went to a hot air balloon festival in Chandler at Tumbleweed Park. It was so cool to see the fun ballons glow at dusk.

Ahh it's Friday. And almost Thanksgiving. Ben and I decided to go to Flagstaff after Thanksgiving for a few days to get out of town. We are planning to go to the Lowell Observatory where Pluto was discovered in 1930. Anyone have other ideas on where to go or what to do in Flagstaff? I'm so excited to go on a road trip with my favorite guy. No tivo, no video games, no errands....

I'm finally getting into Harry Potter's latest book. It was a slow first 200 pages for me. I'm hoping to finish it up in the next week or so!

Tomorrow I have to get up super early for the American Cancer Society Making Strides walk at Tempe Town Lake. It's always fun after you are there, but right now sleeping in sounds like more fun.


I finished my beautiful green knitting bag. It is lovely and looks just like the picture on the pattern. It's my favorite thing I've ever made. I'm also working on some Christmas gifts: scarves and hats and socks. And I bought the wool to start some more felted clog slippers. I'm taking a class tomorrow at Fiber Factory on how to knit a mobius scarf. I bought some yarn, but I'm not sure if I like it yet.

My favorite TV shows right now are Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, Veronica Mars, Lost, West Wing, and Comander in Chief. I've been disappointed in Alias and Desparate Housewives so far this season. As for reality tv, Ben and I have been enjoying Survivor and I still am a sucker for the Apprentice.

Gus LOVES the pink My Little Pony in our toybox. It's hillarious to watch him cuddle with it.

Felted magic mobius basket

Look how cute my striped felted basket turned out!



I ordered yarn online for the first time. Yes, that is a bad habit. Ahhh, when Julie said this is a cheap hobby she sure was wrong! hehehehe

Does anyone out there just hate Judge Alito as much as I do? Voting for spousal consent to get an abortion - please.... are we living in the dark ages where women were considered her husband's property?? Eeek... It gets me fired up and wanting to donate even more time and money to Planned Parenthood.

Movies I want to see: Prime and North Country

Book I finally started that has been on my shelf for a month: Harry Potter

House projects - well the hole in our stucco is finally fixed and now we are going to paint to house, but wait there is more.... before we paint we are going to fix the rotten wood on the back patio. And by we of course I mean we are going to pay someone to fix it.

And the most exciting news, I bought a new phone. There was nothing wrong with my old Kyocera phone, but I was bored and looking for a new project. So check out my latest piece of technology fun.
It's a phone, palm pilot PDA, camera, mp3 player, and I haven't read all the directions yet but I think it might even make dinner.
