Finished Skirt, An Aging Shnoodle, and Cats at Peace

Yesterday I turned 29. Patrick took me out to a lovely dinner in Olympia, where we had some killer Thai food.


Also, this is the skirt I made! I wore it out to dinner - excuse my goofy squint-eye. It fits well and I'm looking forward to making more. Patrick also made me a delicious birthday cake and sat through the worst pirate movie ever made - Cutthroat Island - just to humor me on Talk Like A Pirate Day. What a guy!


It was quite the respectable haul this year! I got two knitting books I'd been hankering after, some excellent DVDs (if you haven't heard of The IT Crowd, I highly recommend it!), and some other exciting gifts. My in-laws sent me a plethora of gift cards, and I'm looking forward to doing some shopping.


In other news, the cats are starting to get along better. This was taken Sunday, and since then Maggie's collar has come off. Her leg is looking much less disgusting, and no one has chased anyone else through the house making devil noises. Peace at last!

Aging at 29 is an oxymoron! :) Have a great day going through all of your books.
I can relate my dog has been ill so no sleep around here either. I am looking forward to better nights.

So glad the kittens are better and your household is peaceful.

Big hugs!

Skirt looks good and it looks great on you; I really like the fabric pattern. Glad the cats are behaving.

Happy Birthday!!! You look sweet in your new skirt and sweater.

Oh crumb...I hope perhaps some of your loot came with gift receipts. You may be getting a duplicate of something that's also on your Amazon wish list.
