Kids Are on their Buses....
I don't know about you, but some mornings that is a very happy accomplishment.
As is turning a pretty heel. Smooshy really is very smooshy. I have been knitting so furiously I am blistering up. I'm knitting Wendy's Southwestern Socks pattern(pdf) - but I wanted to knit it cuff-down so the pattern is reversed - so I'm thinking I really need to call these my Northeastern Socks 'cause they're kind of upside-down.
So, anybody have advice for a fifteen year old boy with his first girlfriend? 'Cause Teenager is going on his second "date" tomorrow evening. (gulp)
ETA: OMG - if you don't read dooce.com - you have to read her blog entry today. She has an unusually challenging daughter (delightful, but challenging) and this story rocked my morning!!! I will be quoting her daughter in my head all day today.

Tell me about it. I practically had to throw my kids on the bus this morning. I took them to Van Halen last night, and they were lobbying for calling in sick to school today. See if I ever take them anywhere on a school night ever again.
My teen hasn't started dating, so sorry, no advice!

That little girl from dooce.com was hilarious! For goodness sakes...classic.
I don't have much dating advice-my son went out with groups of friends when on dates. He's 20 now and away at college. Miss him!....

Northeastern socks - good idea! And an advice for your son? Well, I hated it when my mother asked if I was in love; but then again, he's a boy and I have no children, only students...:-)

I'm loving your socks. Thanks for pattern.
As for the boy. I have a 14 year old one and have'nt reach that point yet...don't rush me.
Good luck

I love your northeastern socks... the color and texture are lovely. I have some Smooshy I need to knit up soon, it keeps tempting me.
By the way... the heel of your sock is beautiful. How do you do it? I can't really see it.

Don't you love that Smooshy? I'm knitting some hand warmers out of it now. Your color is very pretty, wish I was using that.
No kids so no advice on the dating. Gosh, my parents didn't let me date at 15, but that was many years ago :) Times change...
But that "Mom, she's looking at me", I see that hasn't changed! Made my day to read that.
