Voting, and a little quandry.

Did you vote today? I went after work, anticipating a long wait, but it wasn't bad at all. I was in line all of about 3 minutes before I got to head to the booth to punch my card.

So, as most of you know, I live in Idaho. For the past several weeks, we've been hearing ads like, "Candidate X...too liberal for Idaho." The state where Republicans are calling other Republicans too liberal. It kind of makes me giggle. So I had to go and cast my vote, for what it's worth. I guess I'll know tomorrow. Go blue, that's all I have to say.

I did something last night that I haven't done in months. I actually broke out the spinning wheel and did me some spinning. Not tons to show for it, but at least I finally did something. I finished a sock the other night too, but it's a little small. I'm debating whether to make the 2nd one the same size and gift it to someone, or if I should frog it and reknit it. Any suggestions? I guess this is proof that, maybe, sometimes, I should check my guage.

While we were on vacation, we went to Beehive Woolshop in Victoria. I discovered Fleece Artist sock yarn. I bought 2 skeins, and G went back and bought me 2 more. For an anniversary present. How awesome is that. Yarn for an anniversary present. Seriously. Jackpot, baby. So now I have the dilemma...do I start a new pair of socks with the new goods, or finish one of the 6 WIPS I have. I know what I'd prefer to do, but.....

You know none of us can judge you if you start something new . . .

I vote for gifting! But I couldn't frog a whole sock. It would be too painful.

It's a good day for blues, isn't it?? ;)

I especially liked the pix from Victoria.

Com'on now -- Idaho has it's red spots. Hyde Park, and Sun Valley. ;)

It really *does* bum me out that Good Ol' Boy Otter is our governor. Ugh.

That sock is adorable. I wish my feet were smaller!! Hee!
