Springy, Colorful Mittens


Kim, the Knitting Wonder Woman, and I are doing a KAL for the Crystal Palace Mini Mochi Springy Ring Mittens. I got my yarn here.

I think that I am ahead of her. Of course, the fact that I am doing the smallest child size and she is doing and adult size has nothing to do with it. She will probably think to be more specific with me next time.

I'm almost finished with the thumb gusset on the right one. Then I will switch to the other mitten and do the gusset on it.

Crystal Palace said that it is impossible to make identical twins with this yarn, so I decided that I could enjoy bright fraternal twins.

Houston Days 3 - 6

We did not do any more sightseeing. The T-man was satisfied to get to swim each night. The hotel had an indoor pool on the 23rd floor. There also was terrace with a view of the skyline. Of course, I stayed away from the windows near the pool and would not go out on the terrace. The T-man got these shots.





Houston -- Day 2


The geek in me was totally thrilled. We had time on Sunday to visit the Houston Space Center. T-man was a bit disappointed that the place was designed to cater to tourists. He wanted something more educational. So, we strayed from the tour guide's directions of what we should see and made our own choices. I only had my camera phone with me, so I did not take many pictures, but I could not pass up these two:

On the Road Again

This time I am traveling with my boss and the T-man. Sometimes I wonder about my sanity.


I'm at a conference that has some free time, so I decided to bring the T-man along. He loves staying at hotels.


Day one we got here early enough to visit the Houston Downtown Aquarium. As far as aquariums go, it was not very exciting, but we still had fun. Mr. T is always interested in learning about things. I did make him pose for a picture. We only have cell phone cameras with us, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. Without further ado, I give you Deep Sea Diver T-man:


Male Logic

While catching up on my blog reading, I mentioned to the T-man about my sister's post on my parents' wedding anniversary. I said we rushed off Saturday without saying anything about the anniversary.

T-man said "Why didn't you tell me? It makes it look like I forgot. You made me look like I didn't care."
