(Just for Sarah)

I present you with knitting pictures!


The Mason Dixon knitting ballband dishcloth - part of a birthday present for my mommy.







And... my crowning accomplishment:

Vertical Freaking Stripes.

I know all you non-knitters are thinking I'm crazy right about now, but Vertical Freaking Stripes (and the fact that *I* made them) are still quite unbelievable to me.




Horizontal stripes, no biggie...




But the Vertical. They make me dizzy with delight.

I'm hanging in there

Cleaning house...

Watching various TV-on-DVD (Charmed, Dawson's Creek)...

And Knitting. Oh, yes - there is knitting going on in my house, thanks to new knitting book purchases :)

I told hubby that the more he's able to get a daily call or email in, the more stable I become. I feel like an idiot sometimes, that my moods are so dependent on him - but that's the way it is for right now.

There will be knitting pictures, soon.

The tears eventually stop, right?

Saying goodbye has never been so hard. I thought when I left the States... left my family & friends... that it couldn't get much harder than that.

And then my husband leaves for a deployment.

Suddenly, that 2 hour ride to the airport followed by a 10 1/2 hr plane ride and a 6 hr car ride to "home" for me doesn't sound nearly as overwhelming as it did almost 3 years ago.

Now, I'd give anything to be able to follow that itinerary to see my husband.
