Dear Monday

You stink.  At least today you did.  In addition to a crummy day at work, you had to top it off with the worst root canal experience I've ever had.  That says a lot coming from a girl who has had a few and recognizes she is thoroughly freaked out by the dentist.  I don't think I will ever, ever go to this endodontist again.  I am blessed with the best dentist in the world, but due to the serious infection that I've been dealing with, she didn't feel comfortable doing it.

So instead of dealing with you anymore Monday, I am going to focus on two things.

First, pretty yarn.





Look at this pretty yarn that I got from Knitted Wit at Knitting Lab.  It is just delicious!!  Be careful, she has some gorgeous colors of Shine in the shop right now.

Second thing I'm focusing on:  Tomorrow is Tuesday.  Which means just two more days of working until lots of holiday fun AND tomorrow night is knit nite AND we are going to see this.  You know it.  Just wish Erica was here to go see it with us like last time.

Screw you Monday! Bring on Tuesday!

Love,
Irishgirlieknits aka the girl who is very glad for pain meds tonight

Go Niners!

The doggies have new 49ers' bandanas.





Now they can relax since the Niners won again today!  9-1 baby!! Go Niners!

Happy Weekend!

Pumpkin Time!

I love this time of year!  The chill in the air and rain outside.  Handknit socks on my feet.  A fire to knit by.  And football to watch.

My sister, dad and I watched the Notre Dame football game today and started some of the holiday baking.

Two loaves of Pumpkin Bread made.



Then for fun, I wanted to make the pumpkin crunch cake Sheri from The Loopy Ewe posted on her blog this week.  It looked very much like the recipe my sister uses to make a yummy pumpkin cake pie dessert, except my sister's recipe divides it between two pie pans. It takes the best part of pumpkin pie and adds cake instead of crust! Yum.



My photo doesn't do the recipe justice.  Delish!!  Thanks for sharing it Sheri.

Lots of exciting college football games today have meant lots of knitting time too.  I have just a few more inches left to knit on my secret, picot-happy sock!

How has your weekend been?  Hopefully nice and relaxing.  On tomorrow's list is to finalize our shopping list for the cooking this week.  Any favorite Thanksgiving recipe you guys want to share?  You know I love new recipes.

Happy Weekend!
