Rob made me swear to high heaven, all of these saints, and even dead football players that I would not spend more than $25 on his Christmas Gifts. He agreed he would do the same. Being the person that I am, I had known what I was going to get him for months. As it turns out, they are backordered – forever. I’m screwed. To make matters worse. The man picked me up from work last night with an “I just went shopping grin” on his face. I asked him if he spent more than he promised. A little more was his response. I had to pull each of his teeth out and when I threatened his fingernails he finally told me how much more.

I’m really screwed. However, I think he is more screwed (screwed worse?) ’cause all of those dead football players are going to get him when he gets to heaven. He should have never made me swear on them.

I think he’s getting this for Christmas.

Hmmmm, Chocolate.

I thought I would go through the list of knitable gifts that I intended to make. knit, knit, knit – Christmas is in 3 days – knit, knit, knit.

I went a-looking for the post with the master list. I published it on November 23rd! For crying-out-loud, where has the time gone?! And how in the world did I have it together enough to publish that a full month ago?!

I’d be more freaked out, if I had the TIME.

*Please ignore the fact that this is the same post in which I complain that all of YOU do not post enough. Yes I am a hypocrite; the first step is admitting it to yourself. The second step is to recognize your error and change your ways. Learning from your mistakes is very important. So why the hell don’t you people post more often?!*

THE LIST

1. Mom’s caplet (100% done)
2. Dad’s scarf (75% done)
3. Sister’s Banff (The conversation with myself over this sweater went something like this: I don’t want to talk about it, I just don’t, okay?! Just leave-me-alone. I can’t take it anymore. No, I won’t tell you what happened. It just did and it was awful. Oh, look, ice cream. As you can see, you’ll have to wait for the rest of the Banff saga.)
4. Brother’s wrist warmers (done)
5. G-ma’s scarf (100% done)

Added between then and now:
6. Flower washcloths (40% done) more to do as time permits
7. Booties for Gus (80% done)
8. Treats for random friends: Scarves? Mittens? Hats?

I’m actually not worried. This was all a ploy to put more drama in the blogworld. I’m confident it will all get done. Except for the Banff – that may take some counseling to get through. Anyone know a good knitting therapist?

Knit, knit, knit – Christmas is in 3 days – knit, knit, knit
