Halfway Down the Stairs

What You Have Here...

Is a still-life of my desk on any given day. This day I received one of my club-type goodie boxes! This is the Madelinetosh gorgeousness. It's called Nocturne Pastoral, a 50% Merino wool/50% silk worsted weight. I am thinking a cowl of some sort because this is just too soft for my feet. I'd also like about a million yards more because, yum. That other glow-y skein back there is some Araucania, because I just don't have enough sock yarn. See my desk supply of hand lotion? I have the most miserable cuticles this side of Autumn and the lotion is the only thing that saves me.

Puck and I made it through a very sad Wild game on Thursday night, and we couldn't even watch tonight's game because, "No TV". Bah!

But, I got to hand out the M&M's last night and listen to the EP HS Football game. What a great game, they were neck and neck with Hopkins, but pulled it out in the end (I think they won by 9 points), now they get to play Blaine on Thursday in the quarter-finals. I wandered in to watch the Gopher's play Hockey against MSU, a crazy tied-up game! Saturday night was no contest - 6-3 Gophers! Of course, the Gophers Football team was not so lucky against Northwestern. I actually finished up my Mystery Socks last night! We'll have some pictures tomorrow when I have some daylight.
