Day 26, 2015 Preparing for a Blizzard
Excuse me, weather folk who like to bring added drama to the impending east coast snowstorm....
I've yet to hear one of you say to get your knitting ready!~
Yes, flashlights, water, wood and food matter, but what's an emergency kit without yarn and needles?
Get ready! Find a pattern, find your yarn, fluff the pillows and enjoy the weather imposed downtime ....

I finished a pair of fingerless mitts for Izzy yesterday.
I knit a hat for her in the fall and intended these as a Christmas gift to match.
She was thrilled nonetheless.
The yarn is actually two yarns that I blended together.
We watched Life Itself, which is Roger Ebert's story of courage and love.
The THUMBS up duo originated from Chicago so we have that special tie. It is a wonderful movie.
Fireman shopped while I had a cold and he brought home jelly beans. (Not unusual as he loves them.) However, these are BRACHS conversation heart jelly beans.
I'm here to report that the white ones are coconut flavored.
Remember:
U Rock and
XOX?
They are still there and now we have:
LOL, too.
Conversation Hearts were the ORIGINAL
clever text vocabulary words.
Right?

I have been having mouth issues (I think it is TMJ as I have been dealing with it for a long time).
Just glad we don't have to greet the blizzard that is supposed to be going to the East Coast.
Hope you are felling better each day.
The fingerless mitts look great. Can't beat a good hot drink in winter...and love that picture of the tree with the snow packed background. A lovely scene. Enjoy your Jelly Beans.
I wish we were having a snow day, but an inch isn't going to do it. Sigh.
(Of course, black are my favorite jelly beans, but I'm guessing they wouldn't be very Valentine-like.)
However the thing that is making me a swoony right now is that mocha? hot chocolate? Have you tried the new Flat White at Starbucks yet? Maybe with one pump of flavor -- as to limit the sugar for me:( We must discuss Kathy B!
