New Yarn!

Yeah! I got some surprise new yarn from my Secret Pal! Yippee! It is two balls of fun novelty yarn along with a simple scarf pattern. Picutes will follow probably tomorrow.

After reading Bonne Maries comments on the BUP, I decided to pick up some Cotton Ease at the store. I think that the problem with my last BUP, was that the yarn wasn't right. So I'm going to give this a try. Tho' I really dread that hand-aching brim!

Today I spent most of the day cooking and doing prep cooking (cutting up veggies) for Pete's new diet. He has been doing Atkins, but decided to switch to the South Beach diet, since it is a more balanced approach. He said that he wanted to exactly the 2 weeks of menus in the book, and asked if I would cook/prep all the meals for him. Normally when he is on these very specific diets, he takes care of all his own cooking, but since the menus are clearly outlined, which takes care the hardest part of meal planning for me -- THE PLANNING! So most of the food for at least the first 3 days is all ready. I also picked up a large lunch box for him to take his lunch to work. Hope he likes it.
