Things to Be Happy About:
1. New sock yarn.
2. Finding the sunglasses you thought you'd lost.
3. Drizzly days when they decide to hold soccer camp anyway, so the moms don't have to figure out something else to do with their kids all morning.
4. Friends who offer to help with carpool because they know your husband is out of town.
5. Popcorn for dinner.
6. Sleeping in a pile with the kids like a bunch of puppies.
7. Making oatmeal/whole wheat butterscotch chip cookies and having them taste pretty darned good.
8. Learning something new (toe-up socks ROCK! And Socks That Rock really do rock!)
9. Getting the kids new shoes and seeing that extra spring in their step and remembering exactly how it felt when I was their age.
10. A trip to the library.
What wonderful things to be happy about!!

LOVE seeing the knitting content come back a bit! :-) It was great talking to you on the phone! I hope it helped somewhat...
Love the socks...I have had no luck with toe up socks. I think I might have to try them again just to see if it was the yarn or the knitter :-)

I want that yarn! And the socks! I'll take a cookie, too, if you have any left...

You DEFINITELY have a lot to be happy about. Yummy yarn and cookies and books. What more could a girl want or need?

Great list! That TOP sock yarn is amazing. Is that STR, too? Those cookies sound great, by the way! I do seem to have a thing for both oatmeal and butterscotch ;)

Hey Lain - I forgot to ask... did you buy the STR in person or online? Just checking... if there's some local place to pick it up, I'd like to know!!
