Another New Toy!

Whoohoo lookie what I got! Yeah....I've been wanting one of these for years! I've made sugar cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies so far! MMMMMMMMMMMM Also did a mile on the eliptical...see that will counteract the cookie calories!:)

New Toy!

Look what hubby found for me at a garage sale! Excuse the garage mess...haven't moved it into my workout room yet. So excited....its so fun! I've already gone 3/4mi.! Whoohoo! The best part is...guess how much he paid for it?.........................$15.00! Awesome huh?!!!!:) Gotta get busy doing chores!

Smores Toe Ups...take two!

Here's an update on my toe ups..there coming along nicely so far. I don't know if I care for the ladders its making with these dpn...hmmm do they show when they're on? I love this yarn from knitpicks, I wonder why they don't make it anymore? I just ordered some Lorna's Lace Shepherd Sock yarn, how is it to work with. I love the colorway I'm getting...its called Daffodil...yes the yarn has to have a cool name!:)

In Loving Memory of my Best Friend...

Day 3 (Sunday)

Yesterday we had another yummy breakfast at the Apple Farm. We then went to Morro Bay and hiked on a trail to an outlook area and did some pictures. I've been wanting a family pic to put over my fireplace for 10 years now and we finally did it. (We're going back there this morning before we leave because hubby isn't happy with it.) Then went to Los Osos area and hiked on the beach there that has a lot of caves and rocks and a museum. Next we got some lunch and went to Cayucos to look in antique shops. Walked down the pier and then on the sand and played on the swings as we watched surfers catching some waves. Came back to Cambria area and shopped (bought some adorable teapot/cups (pics later)), Jimmy got a potato shooter, and some to die for fudge (melts in your mouth). Oh and in Cayucos went to a Starbucks and ordered a Peppermint mocha decaf....I'm hooked sooooooooooooooooooo good, can't wait to have another.

Today (Monday) we're redoing some pictures, playing on the beach, and heading towards home. I miss my Fuji! Might check out a couple more yarn stores if they're open today. So tired...gotta have a vacation from having a vacation!:)

Day 2

Yesterday was day two...went to a yummy, scrumptious breakfast at Apple Farm. Then went to my favorite yarn store in Atascadero, The Scarlet Skein, was quite excited to see Alana that I'd met the last time I was there...went back to San Luis Obisipo and went to another yarn store, photography store (hubby), and other shops...went to Morro Bay shopping (Jimmy got some awesome shells)...got lunch at McD's as we drove to Cayucos to meet up with some friends. Jimmy had a blast playing on the beach with the kids...had to run to the store and get him some swim trunks because he got soaking wet...mind you even in CA its winter, approximately 60 degree weather, I even had my wool jacket on! Went back to the hotel to shower Jimmy and get him warmed up. Hubby went to our favorite pizza joint and brought back pizza to the room and we just chilled out! In bed and asleep by 7:30...all of us exhausted! It seems like we've been gone from home forever! I missed seeing my friend from ravelry because she's sick with a sinus infection...definitely know how miserable that is...pray she gets better soon and will meet her when we come back in April!
