What's Going On
I know, I know...I've been gone too long. This past week was just a wee bit crazy, so I'm hoping you'll have pity and not get too upset by the length of this post. Feel free to stop reading at any time.
Knitting
I've been shamefully occupied with a totally new project.
A baby blanket for one of several babies on the way. I'm using the round/spiral blanket pattern linked through the KnitList. Very easy, lots of fun, and perfectly mindless knitting.
Which is precisely what's needed when you're entertaining and enjoying a day with your sweetie.
First, Friday...
On Friday I was visited by my good friend, Stephanie, her daughter Katie, and Katie's friend, Alex. We had a great time chatting, knitting, laughing and catching up. Here are Katie and Alex getting ready for bed--it's Katie's turn to pump the air mattress.
And on Saturday...
Steve and I had a great Valentine's Day. We did absolutely nothing of great importance; just spent the entire day relaxing together. Steve gave me a lovely Teaching Survival Kit (pics next time) and practiced his knitting while we watched the GA Tech basketball game (Tech lost...we were sad). We also watched Punch Drunk Love, which neither of us had seen, while munching our dinner. Here's Steve putting the Pizza of Love together.
And here's the final product:
We've been using my Christmas present (a Breadman Plus) quite a bit and have found the perfect whole wheat pizza crust recipe. Not a traditional dinner for a day of romance, but we liked it all the same.
I love you sweetie! Thanks for a great day!
Enough mushiness...
Bring on the kitties--in stereo, no less!

Hi Anita -
I have a Breadman too, and we make pizza all the time! We had pizza the night before V-day, and went to our favorite burger joint for the Big Night! I would love your whole wheat crust recipe - we've been using a white crust that is totally unhealthy, but it tastes good. Do you use a pizza stone to bake with? I gave one to Dan for Christmas, and can't believe the difference it makes in the quality of the crust.
My friend Lacy is looking for a baby blanket pattern, so I'll have to look at that one - it really needs to be easy for her, and that looks like it might work (and it looks great!).
Your orange tabbies are just as pretty as mine (and mine is absolutely gorgeous!).

I like the heart pizza - we always have takeout food for celebrations, Chinese this time, so I don't think pizza is unromantic! (We like *not* cooking for ourselves for once). The baby blanket is very cute - thanks for the link! And, as always, the kitties are lovely.
