This photo is from the Gay Games Opening Ceremonies...last summer. I can't believe it's already been over a year since all of that hoopla! It was such a spur of the moment thing when we went to that ... and we got great seats *likely because we paid a lot for them* because we figured "how many times will the Gay Games be in Chicago?"
I'll tell you, I think it was worth it.
I want to tell you also that I haven't been blogging as much because *gasp* I've been knitting Lehu's vest. OMG, people, I am loving the way it is turning out. There's a little conflict between my old friend gauge and me, but not too bad. We are working it out. For you non-knitters, gauge is the number of stitches per inch, and it is a good idea for it to be similar on the front and back of a garment.
I'm excited today because next week - and the next - I am off from work. I had vaca time to use and others are taking holiday weeks so I had to get the time in. On Saturday, Lehu and I are going to put the doggie in the back of the car and drive to Kalamazoo to see Birdie and her fam. I can't wait to see them again. I know, I KNOW, it has only been two weeks. I can't help myself people. Birdie's Mama is like a sister (without the shared family dynamic) to me, and - well - Birdie. She's a BABY! No, I don't want my own baby. I am very very content being the cool aunt in Chicago -- and my neices are in California for goodness sakes.
Photos of Lehu's vest coming soon.

I have been contemplating the Mandy Yarn Diet. I have. And, I have been following it. Does sock yarn count?
SOMETHING.
