Officially the Mother of a Teenager

Isn't she sweet? I suppose I should be feeling old at this point. I don't really. I rather enjoy the fact that she picks out loud color skull and cross bone earrings with colored rhinestones, wanted a cake in the shape of an octopus, and to spend most of her actual birthday in various bookstores. Yay!

This is also the second week of Husband's vacation. I'm wondering if what was supposed to be done the first week of said vacation is going to get done this week. I admit to being a bit doubtful. On the upside, the more he sits around not doing what needs to be done, the more I tend to sit around and knit. I've finished a sweater(this morning so I haven't taken pictures yet), am working on the Mystery Stole 4 and have cast on a shawl of bat lace a la The AntiCraft. All the while plotting(with yarn on the way) lovely baby items for one of my Darlings. I'm rather thankful for the excuse really, otherwise my small hoard of baby patterns might seem a bit creepy. I prefer to think of it as being prepared for any eventuality, kind of like a practical pack rat. Which is why I have a small pile of lint from the wool/silk blankets I bought(at almost half price) for the beds. It looks a bit like roving, it's fiber-y, so there's a chance it could be spun into yarn....right?
