Whee!

My how time flies! I can't believe it is 2:00 already. I've been so crazy busy, it's nuts. But I have actually been getting things done - which is better than feeling crazy busy and having nothing to show for it.

So far, I've done a ton of paperwork that was awaiting some attention. That was a big job and it is almost done - just have to mail out a bunch of envelopes.

I figured out what the problem is with my brocolli that I've planted. It has cabbage worms - yuk! My sister-in-law said that I should pull it out and start over, what she doesn't know is that my brocolli is huge!!! It is easily two feet - two feet, six inches tall. It would break my heart to pull it out. She said that the alternative is to dunk the harvested brocolli heads in salted water and watch all the little worms come out -- but then you may not want to eat the brocolli. I decided to go with whatever I could find to kill the buggers - a trip to Walmart and I got me some spray. I really hate using it, but I feared loosing all my crops - the dreaded cabbage worm also likes lettuce and my lettuce is doing tooo wonderfully to risk loosing it all. So now the little worms are squirming to the little death and hopefully my plants will be able to recover.

Knitting-wise I picked up some new yarn at Saybrook Yarns. YEAH! I got some Cotton Fleece for another Chickami, some more Lamb's Pride and Eros for another Booga J bag to donate as a silent auction item. And some bright pink ribbon for a tank for Ahren (pattern yet to be bought - I know which pattern it will be, but it hasn't come in yet).

Still on the list to do:

pick up the living room
change the sheets in the bedrooms
laundry, laundry, laundry

The housework is calling....
