The Bookish Girl

Phew.

We’re home! Our trip was incredible. Pictures and travelogue to follow. Not only was this our vacation for the year – it was also a 1 year anniversary celebration. Rob and I are old fuddy-duddy’s now. One year down, a life time to go. I couldn’t be happier.

Go stompers.

It’s going to take me awhile to dig out of this pile of horse shit called “Welcome Home from your vacation, here are all the things that *almost* exploded while you left. Now that you’re here – lets tap in to a bit of that OCD.”

In the meantime, I have one thing to say: Those Mile High Knitters are Crazzzyyyy. I almost think they have the East Coast Sharpies beat.

Dude – don’t you SO want to knit with these broads?! There are a few missing from this picture. Aside from our hostess, I spent the most time with Wanda – who really was a blast…why did she leave early?

And of course – my new girlfriend:

Cathi totally rocked my world. Genuine, welcoming, fabulous cook with two little offspring that you could eat for all their cuteness. Oh yah, and that sense of humor? Spot on. We could do some serious nerd damage, the two of us.

    Better than sharpies. Phooey on you.

    Glad you had such an amazing trip – and met knitbloggers to boot!

    Welcome home. I missed you!

    Looks like you had a great time!

    The big question around here is did you/will you eat the top of your wedding cake for your anniversary? What do you say, gross or traditional?

    Again, Happy Anniversary! The 1st is so special. Did you eat the top of your wedding cake? I did on my first and it was still pretty good!

    Aww, thanks! I enjoyed meeting you. So much fun. I needed to get home to see my sweetie! Hopefully you’ll come back and visit us again! And we can talk Julie over to the dark side! (heh!) ;-

    I dunno, that picture rocks – but I’m still partial to the one of your exposed belly with our signatures all over it.

    Ahem, Mrs. Bookish, are you trying to start a knit-gang war? What’s up with that?

    Sheesh. I’m still glad you had a good time. Mostly. ;)

    Wendy,
    It was so nice meeting you!! I had a blast that night as well. I honestly thought you were joking when you told me the pose for that photo. LOL! I was bold and took a photo of myself in that pose when I finished my minisweater, but haven’t the balls to post it yet. Happy Anniversary to you and your husband! Come back to Denver anytime!
