Busy busy busy

Work has been really tough lately... lots and lots to do, meetings coming up, presentations, posters, blah blah blah. Basically, I've had more than my share of things to work on outside of work time and that has eaten up my relaxing and knitting time, which sucks. But at least it will keep me busy until we go get Hitchcock! In other words, I'm not going crazy waiting like I did when I was waiting for Kubrick. ;)

Golden Globes were on tonight and I'm so happy that Kate Winslet won twice! I think she's wonderful and totally deserved those wins, IMO. Other than that, I have yet to see Slumdog Millionaire (though I really want to) and Vicki Christina Barcelona (also really really want to see), so I don't really have an opinion on those. I really do need to start watching movies again. We used to go once a week every week and stopped due to wedding stuff and after we got back from the honeymoon things got busy at work and we haven't really been able to get back into it. I think we'll try to start again this weekend, hopefully! :)

Oh and I am so so so excited! I have received my personalized set made by Karatstix and the items are just beyond awesome! I had her make it a photo, knit, dog theme. Do you recognize Kubrick? If you click on it to look at the larger size on Flickr you can see it in greater detail so you can get an idea of just how awesome it really is!



Also, I completed one more neckwarmer, this time in blue - yeah, yeah, I know you want something new! ;)





I have been knitting on my new "secret" project - which won't be secret for much longer - and I am so far loving it! It's lacework, which I really enjoy doing, and I love the yarn I'm knitting with too! Will post pictures of it next time, I promise, though it probably won't look like much unblocked, you can still get an idea! Meanwhile, I will try to keep warm (Wednesday is supposed to be a high of something like 20 degrees (that's Fahrenheit for anyone not in the US) and below zero with wind chill! Brrrrrrrrr. Hopefully I won't freeze to death before my next post, LOL!

To end this on a cute note, here's the latest Hitchcock pic for you all. Isn't he just SO cute?

Meet Hitchcock

Although I am still in a lot of pain (who knew a tailbone would take THIS LONG to heal???), I am currently so very excited and very very happy! Why? Well, we have finally found out about our puppy temperament test (we've been waiting for this puppy since he was born - 7 weeks ago) and it's official... Hitchcock will be joining our family in the beginning of February!!! We're all very excited about this around here, especially Kubrick!



Although, of course, he says just looking at a picture of his new little brother in a computer isn't all it's cracked up to be... he wants to play, LOL!



I can't wait to fly out to California, visit my family (and DH's family as well) and then fly back with this little cutie. :) Kubrick and Hithcock will be fast friends, I'm sure!

In knitting news, I finished one more Koolhaas hat (this one for a friend). It's a little too big on me as it's the men's size, but at least you get an idea for it. Also, only two rows (!) before the end, I ran out of the yarn (you should be glad you weren't around at that point - I was cussing up a storm!) and had to use the grey that I will be using for my own hat. I don't think it looks all that bad, though! ;)





Kubrick had his friend, Guapo, over for a play date and he was very interested in me taking a picture of myself, if you can tell in the picture above, haha! So I can't wait until I can show you guys something NEW as I'm STILL knitting some of the same patterns. I hope to finish one more neckwarmer by tomorrow and then I will start a project I'm so so so excited about, and will share with you all as soon as I can get some of it done. It will be beautiful, I'm sure. At the same time I have two more Habitat hats to do plus one more Koolhaas and one more neckwarmer, but I'm going to take a break from those 4 projects to work on my super exciting secret project (only secret for a couple more days, don't you worry!).
