The good, the good and well.... More good.

I hinted yesterday at two of the negative things going on in my life right now, but there is also a lot of positive things. Hence today's post. All good. A nice change from the stress and worry I've been feeling for the past week or so.

Tomorrow when I get off work, my brother Dave and I will be heading up to Pennsylvania to meet up with my cousin Sara and a few of her friends for a mini going away party. She was originally supposed to come down two weeks ago but the weather was so bad we decided to just head up there this weekend instead.

Growing up we all hung out together when my grandparents would babysit us, and we would have what my grandpop called "Party Time." Basically it was all the candy, soda and junk food we could eat while watching cartoons and running around like lunatics. It was fun and to think that now that we're all grown up we'll be having a more adult version of "Party Time" is exciting. [Picture is of my brother Dave, my cousin Sara and I taking a break from running around our old stomping grounds this past Easter.]

When we get back into town Saturday night we will be having Dave's final going away party. Nothing big, just our group of immediate friends all gathered together for one last hurrah. Sunday a few of us will be up early to spend the day at the State Aquarium and at our state's battleship. Depending on time, we might even head into Philly to go to Dave and Busters.

On the knitting front, there's also good news! I ordered more yarn from Elann.com thanks to a gift certificate from my sister. Eight balls each of Elann's Canapone. They're 100% hemp yarn. I plan on using it for some more Mason-Dixon Knitting. I ordered two different colors:



Probably the best knitting related news (in my opinion anyway) is that I have finally picked up the Afghan formally Known As Gabe's.

I haven't knit much on it as I just picked it up last night for the first time since the whole Gabe ordeal happened. But I'm back to loving it and I'm motivated to get it finished. I'm going to knit exclusively on it for a while before starting some of the other projects I have lined up.

It's been so hard to get a good shot that shows off it's true colors as it's been rainy, dark and miserable around here for weeks now, but you can get a good idea of the blues in this picture.
