I'm Off The Hook, Part One

It's been a wonderful, awful, and unbelievable week. I've been "missing in action" lately or at least, it felt that way to me. The chronological order events, starting from last weekend up to today, are as follows:

1. Spent last weekend with Denise. After an almost year-long absence, I spent an incredible weekend with my sister and her family. It was fulfilling (a strange word, but appropriate) to see her again, spend time in her company, catch up, rant, gossip, giggle and snort. Over the previous year, I felt as though a part of me was missing and that part, naturally, was my sister. I finally had a chance to spend quality time with her kids and get to re-know my youngest nephew, Trevor, who will be two years old in June.

I didn't get a chance to teach her to knit; we were too busy just hanging out together if that makes any sense. Trevor also kept us very busy. The boy is a "blur". He runs from one activity to the next, charming everyone, from breakfast to bedtime. I genuinely tried to get a decent photo of him, but literally, all but two of the photos were a blur.


















Trevor checking on my son. "Who can be asleep while I'm up?!?"


He slowed down for one other photo too. He was modeling the latest fashion trend, unitard with cowboy boots.


The one blemish on the weekend was the abdominal pain I kept having. I thought to myself that it was the chili I ate, cramps, or sitting/driving for five straight hours in the car. Depressingly, the weekend came to end and it was time to return home.

Yay for spending time with family. My brother goes to college in Arkansas, and I only see him once or twice a year. We used to fight like demons when we were kids, but now I really love hanging out with him. Go figure.

I hope your feeling better. If symptoms persist, be sure to get it checked out. Serious illness detracts from knitting time!

Looking forward to Part Two!
