I’m trying so hard to put my best foot forward and be positive and will myself to be upbeat but… am having a hard time feeling it. At best, I feel pretty mellow. Not sad but not happy either. Just… meh. At worst? Very depressed. Though I am very happy that it’s finally the weekend. Was it just me or was this week just awful? Getting back to regular life just sucked. The days were long and the children were ornery. Well, mostly it was Liam who was ornery. I know. Big surprise.

I’ve also had a hard time focusing on blogging lately. I’m even waaaaay behind in reading blogs. I’ve been spending a lot of time on a cloth diapering message board (where cloth diapers only account for maybe 20% of the conversation) and also knitting up a storm. As fun as all that is, I really would like to get back to regular blog life, ya know?

I also would really like Evie to take a nap that is longer than a half hour.

The weather here in Reno is sucking a duck right now. Today the high is supposed to be 48, but this whole next week we’re looking at temperatures closer to 60! What the HECK? I mean, it is winter. And it IS January. January is usually the nastiest weather month for this area and to have it be so mild? Well, it just ain’t right. So you all can just go ahead and keep complaining about your snow and rain and whatever, but I wish we had a little of that over here. Because this stuff just ain’t right.

What would a randomness post be without pictures? NOTHING, I tell ya. So here we go…
My two vices this last week (is the plural of vice, vices?). Message board and knitting.
Moon through clouds at sunset = awesome.
I just love taking pictures of sunsets. It’s about the only good thing about living here.
Evie mugs for the camera, wearing her new knit (by me!) pants.
The shirt was also made by us: iron-on applique and sewn-on sleeves
*cough* Does one of these legs look bigger than the other? Ah well, I’m still pretty proud of my accomplishment with these pants.

Knitting?? NOT A VICE. A sweet hobby? Maybe. A way to keep busy while watching TV? Maybe. A soul saver? Definitely.
I have often said that one of these days I’m going to find (or make?) a book of sunset photos. I just can’t get enough of them!
Our weather here in Denver has been wonky this year, too. Not nearly as much snow as usual and freakishly high temps! I only have one year to compare to but people who have lived here a long time have said this is not normal.
I love the knit pants on Evie! She’s young enough that she won’t complain if they aren’t perfect so you can work the kinks out in future projects!
Those are some awesome pants! I never thought about knitting pants for little ones! Much cooler than some of the other pants my kids have worn. Who cares if one pants leg is a smidge longer. As long as she’s moving noone will be able to tell.
OMG those pant are SO cute!
