Oh where does the TIME go!

rosesrosesIt's been a hectic few weeks! Time for another round of catch-up!
I think I'll break with tradition and just splurt it all out in no particular order!

I got to spend some wonderful time with my brother, s-i-l & niece...and gave her the dress I'd knit! She loved it, and she's such a little peanut that it's slightly too big (room to grow!!) We enjoyed some fun around NYC and had some lovely meals at some faves of mine that I hadn't yet shared with my family! (Niko's (Greek) for the BEST greek salad and the evil gorgonzola cheese bread @ W 76 st & Broadway, Beard Papa's (Cream Puffs) a few steps north of Niko's on the same side of the street and Rain West (Pan asian).) After spending the afternoon making pretend ice cream cones for an hour with my niece, what a wonderful surprise it was for our waitress at Rain West to bring out the trio of mini ice cream cones for my niece. How did she know?

rosesrosesI've been working on a sweater with the Bamboo yarn that I bought in HK on my last trip... but it's been slow progress. I'm just exhausted all too much these days and am tempted to play Lumines on my dear BFs darn PSP... this is why I don't own one! It falls under the same reasons I don't have cable -- no self control! I can sit and easily blow 2 hours with this little evil rosesmachine. It's a new and improved (and more mentally challanging) form of Tetris from back in the day. This red level always gets me --- but I have been increasing my score with each game... of course my measly 94,000 has nothing on my dear BFs 400,000. Yeowza!

I finally mailed out the 4 packages for RAOKs that I packed up 2 weeks ago.

I have to finish and post my final SP5 package too... thankfully the gal I've been spoiling has loved both prior packages! She's a bit confused as to who I am or where I'm from though! Hee hee!

I've been trying to relax with the kitties and the BF as well...since I'll be heading back to Asia next week for a few weeks. I'm wrapping up preporations for my trip... a lot to do! I should get back to it! Cheers All!

Hello new knitter! Awe - you're so nice with your comments! As for getting hitched...I'm a slow-n-steady gal with no great rush. It seems that I have worked my whole life to get where I am today and frankly I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy it a wee bit before moving along! :-) If you start a blog, drop me the link!
Cheers!
