Olive Sandwiches

First of all, how is it that my blog turns up in a google search for olive sandwiches?

Second of all, the recipient of the Jayne Cobb hat is very pleased with his cunning hat. Check out his shirt. Too cute, right? Patrick’s wife took this picture for me. Thanks Shanon!

And because I’m a sucker for a hat (and a friend who wants a hat), I’m going to be starting on snow devil very shortly for Shanon. First I need to finish a sock (4 inches left and I can’t seem to make it to the end). Let me just say this about Shanon. She is very cool. She found the snow devil hat on her own and purchased the pattern so I would knit it for her. She’s not a knitter, but she apparently likes the knit blogs. I think she might be a knitting fan.

As for my Christmas, many good things happened.

1. The Fa Ra Ras didn’t show up at my parents’ house. I was both relieved and disappointed by this.
2. My parents behaved themselves.
3. I got to play dirty santa at B’s mom’s family’s Christmas shindig and won a very cool full body massage pad to go in a chair. I’ve got just the chair for it too.
4. I taught Little Man how to knit. (I also got hims some quad skates, which he promptly put on and skated around the house for at least an hour.)
5. B loved his Christmas presents.
6. B got me the greatest present ever. Behold:

30GB Black iPod. Video capable.

Back in September, I mourned the death of my iPod Mini.After a suitable mourning period, B felt it was best to bestow this beauty upon me. I was absolutely speechless for at least 30 seconds. I then proceeded to carry the unopened box around the house until such time as I recovered from the shock of receiving such a thoughtful gift and tore into the plastic wrapper to to touch the iPod.

I have since downloaded a movie (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) and two games (Sudoku and Zuma). I’m debating on which seasons of what TV shows to download. Oh yeah, and I renewed my Audible subscription.

I heart my iPod.
