Sunday
Hey there, all you hot mamas, and hot expec - tant mamas out there, Happy Mother's Day!
(I shamelessly stole this from these people, but don't copyright laws expire after 100 years? So it's not really stealing.)
Look at what my sweetie got me this year:
Yes, this is the most awesome of news. I've been hanging around for at least three months saying, "Everybody has an iPod but me." (I did the same thing for the whole three months while trying to get pregnant, which is nothing compared to the true anguish that some people go through while trying to get pregnant, I know.) So, only my sweetie would take our tax return money and get That Which I Was Truly Coveting. (Who says that tax returns are the savings account of the poor?)
Thank you, Big Sweetie! That's his official nickname in our house. It might become his new moniker here, too, as I've always felt "DH" to be a little dorky but I couldn't come up with a better alternative.
Check out the back, inscribed with my own personal motto:
Feel free to vomit if this is too cheesy for you ... I still love it, and highly recommend that everyone have their own personal motto.
I was thinking of having the perfect contest to name her, but I've already come up with a perfect name and I'd be disappointed if nobody else thought of it, so I'm christening her right now:
Rosita.
What will I be listening to on Rosita? Great music, including a new personal favorite song (listen to it in its entirety here as a video -- it's really worth it to hear the whole song), and many old favorites. This is what led me to rediscover both my own KBCO Studio C CDs as well as to find that little one packaged away that someone will win in an announcement soon. Besides great music, however, I can also listen to great audio books. Look at what I just checked out from my local library:
Yes! Now if I could only get my hands on the Spanish version, I'd be in a quixotic heaven.
What of the knitting, you ask?
Sleeve #2 of the A Line Ribbed Jacket has been completed, and I hope to rip out my other front and finish that up soon, too. So, I'll have a photo of a finished object later this week. Yep, sewn up, buttons in and everything.

Happy Belated Mother's Day! And congrats on the Pink mini, so cute! And I do like the personal motto, nothing wrong with it at all! | |

Lucky you. I'm glad to know there is someone else out there who names their inanimate objects. :) | |

I am proud to say that I still do not own, nor will ever own (if it's up to me) an iPod. Go me! Rosita is such a pretty name, and perfect for your pink cutie! Enjoy it, happy Mother's Day! | |

So cool- great job, Big Sweetie (ok, I am never going to say that again, ever)! I hope the walk went well today, and can't wait to see the cardi! | |

Congratulations! If you want to knit a cozy for Rosita, Grumperina has designed a pattern http://www.grumperina.com/iPodcozy.pdf
There's a photo of another one in her blog for 5/7/05. Now I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't have an iPod. | |

OOH! You know some of the crew are going to be very jealous (unless they already have the pink mini). After you get one of these, you do wonder what you did before. | |

Whoa! Nice Mother's Day Gift! I love the inscription - it is very original. What fun! Now, I need to make another mix for you to put on your IPOD.
Merci pour les felicitations. Et bonne fete a toi (vous) aussi! (Excuse the lack of accents...I am just too lazy...)
Ciao! | |
