Clothes

I'm right in the middle of changing out my winter clothes for summer clothes. (Do you hear that, weather? Let's not do anything I'll regret!) I have to wander away every so often because I have so many clothes that it takes forever.

Does that sound too much like a diva? No, really, it shouldn't. In the total set of My Clothing there is a large subset of Things I Don't Wear Unless I Don't Have a Choice. That includes things that don't exactly fit (yes, that means too tight), aren't flattering, or are at least a little ugly. If you eliminate that group, I have two pairs of jeans and a Stars polo shirt. And pajamas, which are exempt from the flattering and ugly limitation because Rich is the only one who sees them and if he's all that concerned about how we look around the house he would surely stop walking around in wifebeaters and baggy shorts. I'm pretty sure.

So I'm changing out the warm for the cool, and sending everything through the laundry. Since I already had a mountain-and-a-half of dirty laundry, this is not good news. Fortunately, I have a large-capacity washer and a couple of days with no appointments. There's hope!

Later...

I finished the clothes swap (except for the laundry part) and did some knitting. In fact, I started and finished another Peep. They're pretty cute:



I knitted a bunny tonight. I know — closets, laundry and knitted toys. My life is so full!

Tonight

I picked up the new Chet & Bernie Mystery, Thereby Hangs a Tail. If you're a Cozy lover, or a dog lover, do yourself a favor and read these books. This is only the second in the series, but Rich and I both enjoyed the first one so much we've really been looking forward to the new installment. Anyway, I got it today and, therefore, know what I'll be doing tonight.

Of course, I am at the very end of a Pinwheel Dishcloth, down to the grafting part. I'd like to take some FO photos tomorrow, so maybe I'll finish that before I get down to Chet & Bernie. My Ravelry projects page has never had a photo of one of those dishcloths, even though I've made at least half a dozen of them. (Trust me, if you're a knitter, all that made perfect sense!)

It's Spring!

The first day of Spring in north Texas! (Those white streaks are snowflakes.)

And the next morning...



Can you tell which way the wind was blowing?



It'll be close to 70°F by tomorrow. Spring really is here, and we might as well prepare for six months of heat. But for right now, it's snuggle up weather!

Did you know Texas is misty today?

I spent the weekend in San Antonio, and saw some good friends while I was there, plus had a really nice date with Rich. I drove back this afternoon/evening, and it was misting the whole way. All 300 miles. I watched a tanker truck fishtail right in front of me, on a two lane section of 281 just north of Hamilton. A horse trailer turned in front of him, then went slower than tanker truck driver wanted to go. TTD, obviously annoyed, decided to pass when there wasn't enough room and had to slam on brakes, causing the fishtail. TTD got it back under control in time to slip back in behind the horse trailer. The first oncoming car was already way over on the shoulder, of course, which I'm sure made it handy to just stop right then and clean out his pants.

Rich will be here next weekend to go to a couple of Stars games. They've lost their last three so badly, we're going to have to focus on how much fun it is to go to the games (and not think about their position, or lack of it, in the playoff standings).

Everybody drive carefully out there!

Four more years!

Mr. March on the Stars calendar, and my boy!



What? Did you think I was talking about politics?
