And we're still baking...

Heat index was up to 124 F. Ouch. It rained like hell tonight and I even got a video, and it was a bad storm. I thought I heard a transformer pop, but I guess it was lightening or something. It's *supposed* to cool down though in the coming week and I really hope it does. J is going TDY to Vegas for 3 weeks and I will be going back in forth between my Mom's I guess. I gave him some money so we can put it in pay pal and I am able to buy something to bid my time while he is gone. While I will miss him tremendously...I don't have to clean up after him YAY! I love the guy dearly, but he has gotten so used to me being here to pick up after him and half the time I don't think he realizes that he left his coffee cup in the bathroom or I DO NOT know where he put all of his work t's and that's why they are not washed. He has some super good hiding places. I had to rip out aforementioned toe up sock and do it again. I am using Wendy's toe up version that you can find on Knitty and it called for 60 stitches for a yarn that had 8 spi, and that was too big for my foot. I do have a med. sized foot, but I guess it's a bit more narrower than I thought. So, I did it for 50 st on US 2's and I'll see how it goes. I started on it while watching Crash. This is my second pair of socks, my first being Horcrux socks, and while I do like them, they are also too big and as a result, pool. But they're comfy house socks. I started cleaning out all my yarn and all since we'll be moving soon and I need to start packing. Alot of it (acrylic i.e caron, bernat, etc) will probably go on freecycle, where it never lasts too long. J got me an Options set for my birthday so all my extra needles will be going to a friend's little girl who has expressed interest in learning how to crochet and knit. Her mama has, as well, so I'll be able to dump everything like that on them and they won't mind a bit.
