I need a fix...

I need my needles... my knitting needles.
I've been home sick for 3 days & outside of have an Office marathon yesterday, I've done nothing, which I suppose is what you're supposed to do when you're sick but I don't sit still well.

I've been facebooking & watching all of my old Stitch N' Bitchers still talking about their needles. It only seems like yesterday that I couldn't get enough of my sore shoulders, wrists, & back from cranking through 2 hours of stitches. Now, I haven't finished the scarf I started LAST AUGUST. How sad is that?
So with box of tissue in hand, I think I will drag myself out into the garage & dust of the box that clearly says "Closet of Doom"... which is where all of my knitting gear resided in Chicago.

Step-?

According to GNR, it is supposed to be "the cold November Rain"...yet it's still 80 degrees where I am. Funny that I know that all of my Chicago friends are bitching about the cold rain & dreary weather yet I'm dying for a reason to wear a sweater!
One thing I will not miss how the time change affects the midwest. At its peak, the light fades away & disappears at 4:15pm... seriously. 4:30 looks like midnight & SAD disorder sets in, hard.
Halloween has come & gone & I was super proud and excited to put together my first costumes for the little people. I even got a pretty good response from the face painting. Surprisingly enough, Kieron was far more receptive to the make-up application than his sister was. He'll be in good shape for his future days in drama class... 'cause with the dance moves & the voice that boy carries, I predict some stage stardom in his not too distant future.
I am super jazzed about being daddy's girlfriend. They've decided that stepmom isn't appropriate as that means 2 mom's & they only have one mom so until we come up with another term, I'm just Kristen... daddy's girlfriend...and that's just fine with me.
