sugar coma

i have a big hole in the heel of my sock right now. it feels really strange. i was gonna post a picture of it but then thought better of it. i had to wake up early this morning to be at the post office right when the opened so that i could pick up a package and still try to make it to work on time. my sp4 sent me something over the weekend but my mailman just left me that lame little note in my box instead of putting it by the door like he usually does. maybe it was a different postman, who knows? but look at what was inside:


candy! my sp4 said it's for the movies and whatnot. mmm- i ate the haribo roulettes already and have bottle caps, red vines, bubble gum (had a piece of that, too) and gummi bears to go. yummy! i love all of these candies so thank you, sp!

and here is a bit of progress on cyd:


that's just the boring back piece. i am almost through one ball of yarn and i figure i am about halfway done with the back. so far the luxury tweed has been working up nicely. it's got some loose hair floating around but i don't mind and my stitches look very even.

i also ordered a peace fleece color card today because i really want to try some of their dk weight yarn. and maybe the worsted. the colors look so rich that i just had to see them for myself before committing. tonight's gonna be another veg night. ah the joy.
