Home Is Where the Knitting Gets Done

first of all, i want to thank all of you who sent me encouragement and who offered to be my own personal cheering section.  it really kind of made me a little verklempt.  and i'm very touched. 

since i've gone down this road before, i know that i'll get very obsessed about the whole weight loss thing but i promise i won't bore you with specifics here.  that's what the other blog is for.  end of discussion.

in other news -- meg tagged me for the "where do you do your knitting" meme.  thanks meg! 

so the question actually should be, where do i NOT do my knitting.  it's funny, i don't do it in the kitchen.  no comfy chair.  not in the bathroom.  too much humidity might felt the wool, and i don't do it in our bedroom.  there's a comfy chair in there but somehow, since i pretty much have taken over the rest of the entire house, i kind of feel that the bedroom is j's room too.  and honestly, if i start dragging my knitting in there, before you know it, he'll have a drill press and circular saw set up.  I'M NOT JOKING!!

so here we go.  please ignore the mess.  i'm not the best housekeeper but i do hate clutter, and just looking at these pictures is causing me a bit of anxiety. 

this is our guest room/exercise room (ha!) and the room where i do much of my weekend knitting.  it's here that i catch up on the gilmore girls, and cute george from grey's anatomy (so cute, george is).  now i've got project runway to add to my weekend viewing.  yay.  (and yes, yarn snobs out there, that is a blue skein of red heart.  mock me.  go ahead.  i dare you.)

here's the office where i do the blogging and where i keep my books and stash.  i don't do any knitting in here though.  no tv.

and here's where i do my evening knitting .. sitting on the loveseat there, next to the ball winder facing the tv. i'm working on piecing together a baby blanket that i never finished.  see that tv tray with the coffee cup?  that's where j sits or rather lays after dinner.   AND IF I'VE TOLD HIM ONCE, I'VE TOLD HIM 100 TIMES, TO PLEASE PUT HIS CUPS IN THE KITCHEN BEFORE HE GOES TO BED.  he never listens.

so there you have it.  hope that was enlightening.  (i apologize for the darkness of the photos.  i live in a very dark house even when the sun is shining like it is today.  and yes, i don't have any curtains.  this is only temporary.  i'm working on them.  I ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME IN A DAY!!)

random picture of the day:

how awesome is this tree that we have on our front lawn?  i love this tree.

ok, i've got to go.  i've got a big date with my boyfriend.
