Loser Knitter/Blogger Baby

I am alive and I am still residing in Colorado.  However, my brain is not really in tact as my life has been in a chaotic mode since April.  I am ashamed to say that I have not even had time to READ blogs let alone actually do posts myself and I have not done much knitting either.  CRAZY!!

Let us start at the top shall we.  England Scotland trip with my friend Laura.  She actually lives in England at the moment and so I decided to jump the pond as some say and go and visit her for two weeks.  We had a great time and flew into Scotland and stayed there for about five days.  I tried to find Nessie so I could sell the picture for millions and these are what I came up with. 

Pete says this is a stick however I am still undecided

This is obviously fake.  Mission Failed.  Not a millionaire yet.

I got some amazing pictures and since it was still winter we saw snow in Scotland.  Here is a picture of Scotland snow.  It is very similar to Colorado snow.  Who knew?

Here is a picture of one of the many castles we saw. 

Since I was in England and there were sheep EVERYWHERE I thought that I may be able to score some yarn.  WRONG.  All I could find was acrylic.  So alas I came back empty handed. 

I used the should be yarn money to buy Pete a kilt and he ran the Bolder Boulder in it. 

Here he is.....my man.  FYI - It is a fake cigarette.

I also bought a kilt for my nephew who was born while I was on the plane to England.  Here he is.........super cute. 

This is the little fella at Easter.  He is trying to contemplate the family and trying decide if he should go back in my sisters belly or not. 

I can honestly say that I will spoil him rotten if my siblings do not have any more babies for me to divide the spoiling.  He is super adorable and is always asleep which is o.k. I guess.  He will grow soon enough.  He is going with my sister and I to Estes wool market so that he can see an Alpaca first hand.  Oh yes.  ALPACA 

So after my adventure I came back to crazy work.  We moved offices and I am just now getting back into the groove.  I am also working on personal stuff that I will not divulge due to paranoia of failure.  Yep, I have loads of confidence.

I was going to do the Bolder Boulder (see Pete above) but two nights before the said race I stubbed my pinky toe and it turned many shades of blue.  This kept me from running!!  But, Pete and I signed up for a Half Marathon training group and we start the 10th.  Jenifer is also doing a half marathon but it is different from what I am doing.  However, if I feel good around that time I may do that one as well.  I think she is faster than I am though so I will let her lead the way!

Pete and I have gotten a community garden and we have just gotten that all organized and we love it.  I will show you pictures of the green babies later when they are more interesting.  Pete refuses to call them babies because we will be eating them but I am sticking with babies.  Tasty babies.  MMMMM

We have another set of friends that are going to have a baby so if anyone knows of any good patterns let me know.  I have just finished this pinwheel blanket and I like the way it turned out.  I have put in the washer and dryer and it feels really nice.  I am now blocking it to give to the little fella.  I would have delivered it sooner, like when he was born, but I am blaming jet lag.  I will post a picture later.

I am working on finishing a certain somthing and will post more of that later.  I don't want to bore you all to death. 

All of this rambling is what you get when I come back.  Ramble, Ramble, Ramble

Happy Knitting.
