33rd Birthday
Well, I have to say that I had a wonderful birthday. Thanks to all of my fabulous friends that called, texted, and emailed their birthday wishes!
My birthday consisted of the following:
Lunch at Maggiano's, which is my favorite place to eat. Then, Mike surprised me with a tour at the Big Cat Rescue. It was so great. It was so nice to see the cats and hear the big guys purr!(picture probably Monday) They had yarn in their gift shop!!! I couldn't believe it...it is Camel Wool and the proceeds go to the White Leopard Rescue in Mongolia, so of course, I bought some. My birthday present is a gift certificate to a spa day anytime I want. Isn't that the best?
It was a wonderful birthday! I am truly blessed!

Life & Stash Updates
I finished my first half marathon on Sunday! Did it in 04:05:24!! Very happy but sore!
Bought some new yarn last night at Uncommon Threads. A very yummy green Malabrigo. And some blue/green sock yarns. Have a thing for the greens. Also some redish-purple roving that I fell in love with....even though I do not spin. I think it is ok to buy yarn just to pet...right? Here is the picture with all the yarn still in the bag -- I have already put it into ziplocks!
Mike and I are still trying to figure out what we are doing for our honeymoon this year. Too many decisions and we are trying to be responsible with our savings account. Not too sure these work well together.
Looking forward to Knit Club tonight! Still working on the 2nd DAMN MONKEY!!!

Hey, Hey...it's a Monkey!
Ok, so the 1st Monkey is done. The bind off was a bit too tight which makes getting it on and off very interesting. Will start the other sock tomorrow...giving myself a day off from the crazy monkeys.

Finished!!!! Finally!!!
So, I finished the Mock Crocs on Saturday! Only 2 days past the original due date! Here is the skinny:
Cast on: January 11.
Finished: February 2.
Pattern: Mock Croc (Knit Picks website)
Yarn: Knit Picks Essential in Petunia
Needles: Size 1 on DP
Used about 1.5 skeins, so I have a little left over. Thinking about using it to make black and pink pirate socks.
I cast on TOE UP with the help of Natalie for the next sock adventure. Crazy Monkeys!
