WE HAVE CABLE!

I'll need to give a little back story first. About 2 months ago, the street light in the corner of our front yard went out. So 3 weeks ago, the electric company FINALLY came out to look at it. Well, it turns out there's a problem with the line in the ground. Since it's in our backyard and we have three adorable, loving pups, we'd need to be home when they came to fix it. So they FINALLY called on Thursday and said "we'll be there between 12 and 1", so I take a half day off and race home so that I can bring the dogs in.

I had a whole bag of work I needed to do and I was waiting on 2 important emails. No problem, right? I'll be at home with internet access and can work simply from there. Yes, well.... while digging in our back yard, they cut our cable in the back yard. So I waited around the rest of the afternoon for the cable company who never showed. They came on Friday and fixed it (T had to meet them at home to get into the backyard). So here's the really good news. My beloved husband ran the new cable outlet this morning! So we can put the bedroom back together!!

Now here is the catch - I have to finish the headboard. I finally got the sandpaper and sanded my little heart out on the previously stained molding. Went to put new stain on it and it just rolled right off. So I'll need to strip it. The headboard won't go in this weekend but everything else will! Then I'll put some pictures out there. And that also means that I can get back to knitting.

I've been getting antsy about that. I'm starting my list of 3 Christmas projects. I've ordered all kinds of yarn today and I have the patterns. So I'm just waiting to finish the bedroom and the yarn to arrive. I'll cast on whatever gets here first!!

As soon as I get back from Halifax, I'll be able to finally post pictures of the baby blanket and pics of the baby wrapped up in it with the booties and hat. I CAN'T WAIT!!

We are off to a wedding reception so I need to go get ready. Hasta Manana, amigos!
