Happy Birthday, Mom!
Yes, that’s right. Today is my wonderful, adorable, fabulous mom’s birthday. It would be great to report that I had, in honor of her birthday, finished her 3/4 sleeve Cotton Fleece pullover. I can not report that. Not without lying, anyway. The biggest drawback to having five+ projects on the needles at any given time is how often each one is put aside in favor of whatever my fingers are craving at the moment. Or whichever gift project is inspiring the most guilt as I look at it all huddled and lonely in its project bag. Four gifts to one me project at the moment. I think the ratio is a bit off. The gift sweaters are starting to gang up and bully me. I think they might be planning to jump my Monster sweater and hide it in the far corner of the hall closet.
My mom’s pullover needs its second sleeve, and then all I have to do it join and knit up the yoke. The second sleeve is a quick project, since they’re only 3/4 length for a small mamma. I really should just jump in and finish it up. Here’s your sweater so far, Mom:
Happy Birthday, you most wonderful mom, you! (Can you tell I just think she’s the greatest, cutest, most worthy of hugs? She’s a great dog gramma, too!)
On another note, Billy brought me a really special surprise last night. The Muppet Show 25th Anniversary CD! It’s got “Mahna Mahna,” “Bein’ Green,” “Movin’ Right Along,” and just about any other Muppet song you might still be humming in the shower after all these years. I’m SO excited. And there’s a great group photo of the gang on the front so I could show Billy that, yes indeed, Animal and my Monster sweater are the same colors.
Now I’m going to have “mahna mahna do do do do doo” in my head for the rest of the day. Not that I’m complaining.
Happy birthday, Cari’s mom!

Muppet songs! They are the best! My boyfriend cheered me up with the Swedish chef making chocolate moose yesterday… Ooooh. I think I want to be a muppeteer when I grow up. I’ll do the penguins…

Hope your mom has a grand birthday!
