Weekend Recap

With my husband and I spending less than 48 hours together in the last two weeks we have not had a single moment apart over this weekend; well maybe a few moments.

Hubby spent the last weekend up north taking a course offered through his new union. The trick was for him to get on with his new employer he had to past the week long course. I had faith in him but he kept selling himself short; he didn't think he would pass one of the different portions of the test. To make a long story short he passed the test and he should be starting a new job this week.

We had an amazing weekend. We got up on Saturday and ran errands, nothing too big and today we got up and went grocery shopping. We try to go grocery shopping every two weeks up in Federal Way at Winco. Unfortunately, there is not a Winco down in our area. But what is great is that my hubby comes with me.

I finally finished the scarf I have been working on since June. It was not a hard pattern K4 P4 but it took my forever. I have no idea who I am going to give it to but at least it is done. After I finished that I started on a hat with the Noro Silk Garden. I would have finished it tonight but I am one to many glasses of wine in to do a good job.

I have Tuesday off (Veteran's Day) and I should finish it and get a good way into a new one (hopefully one for my hubby).

Well I am sitting here waiting for Ugly Betty to come and I thought I would blog a little, plus I have nobody to talk to but my cats; enough people think I am the crazy cat lady.

My husband comes home tomorrow so that means one more night in an empty bed.  It dawned on me today that I don't think I could survive if my husband was deployed for months at a time.  Since I work with ladies who are married to Soldiers I made sure to thank them today for all of their sacrifices.

So I had a meeting today at another campus so I decided to run an errand on my way over (on my lunch of course).  I was going to get my husband a present for passing his test at training but before I left I got an email from my LYS.  The owner was making a request for socks for a young girl who had stopped by the store this morning.  It seems that her shoes were in such bad shape that she could walk in the rain and here in the Northwest that is a necessity.  So I thought instead of getting my husband a gag gift I thought what can I do.  So I went to a local store and picked up a pair of shoes and some socks and dropped them off at the LYS.  It actually felt good to do that.  

It has been been almost 4 months since I last blogged and I have not good excuses for that.  Not a lot has happened since the last post.  Well let me rephrase that....

• My husband got a new job
• We got a new computer
• We have decided to start looking for a house

Hubbies new job has taken him away from me this week, he is spending the week at training.  What he is going to be trained to do is still a good question, my vote is he will learn how to work a wheelbarrow.  This really sucks because I was out of town last week so we got to spend yesterday together and that is about it.  I know the saying is absence makes the heart grow fonder but it still SUCKS.

So I have decided that I am going to use the most of my time.  I hope to finish the Christmas scarf and start a hat.  

 I also want to go through our pictures and label them.  It is hard to find that one picture you are looking for when they have no name but the generic one.

It is only 630 and I am ready to go to bed.  I think the jet lag is still with me.  I though for sure I would be ok; Oh Well.

I guess I will go and try to finish my scarf tonight.
