Knitting gone all wrong

I tried to learn to knit a few months ago, but I am NOT a knitter. I have too many other things to do and I can't sit still that long. Today, I put the yarn in the good will pile. A bit later I was in my office and my chair wouldn't roll right, I looked around for the source and saw the yarn. All over. I mean, one end of the room to the other and all twisted around everything. And in the middle of it? The happiest cat you have ever seen. At least the cat got the money's worth out of the yarn. He has been busy with it for a few hours now. I guess this is a good warm up for kids!!

Dash earns his keep

I was in my office and heard a lot of scurring about in the living room. I went out and Dash was sitting in the middle of the floor with little lizard legs sticking out of his mouth. He had CAUGHT the first lizard he ever met. I screamed and ran for the camera. I couldn't get any good pictures of the lizard in his little mouth, but he looked so happy. He kept letting it go and recapturing his prisoner. I got the slider door open and put Dash (with lizard in mouth) outside. It has been about 30 minutes and he still has his new pet and is terrorizing it. He has no idea how to kill it. I am very thankful the cat found the lizard before I did!!! Here are a few pictures of the happy cat.

Waiting For Vacation

Why is it that the last few days before vacation are always the longest? Our vacation starts on Friday, and it is taking forever to get there. I have a feeling, though, that the rest of the month will go very fast. So what does April (the month) look like around here?

April 3 - UCF school visit and an evening at Disney World
April 4-5 - Hang out in Vero Beach (mostly yardwork, hopefully beach time). Go to Lake Wales to give Dash to Mom and Dad for the week.
April 6-8 - St Simons Island, GA
April 9 - NOTHING!!!
April 10 - Kayaking on the Indian River
April 11 - NOTHING!!
April 12 - Parents come for Easter and bring back Dash
April 13 - Dash goes to the Vet
April 14-15 - Probably business as usual
April 16-18 - Most likely will find the Bennett's in Washington, DC for work
April 19-21 - A few days of normal work
April 22- BIRTHDAY!!! Going to Disneyworld
April 24 - Sun n Fun, Lakeland, FL (second largest airshow in the country) and hopefully dinner
Tampa with some cousins
April 28 - Finals begin for Mark

Wow, that kind of makes me tired just typing it all out. I can't wait for it all to begin!!!

Practically Emotional

If you know you are going to break down sobbing at least once in a day, isn't it a good idea to just go ahead and put it on the list of things to do today? At least that way, once done crying, there there will be a sense of accomplishment. Right?
