We just got home from another evening at Christine's Mom's house, or as I like to call her, Mom # 2. : ) We had a good time. We had dinner, and later we had some wine. I basically just sat and knit. I worked on my sock cuff, which is almost up to a full inch! Woo-hoo! I mess up on the ribbing, but I am NOT frogging again. I was thinking that when you're working on ribbing, you need to purl the knits and knit the purls, but apparently I was wrong? So I started knitting the knits and purling the purls, or that's what I THINK I'm doing, and it's coming out fine now. I'll have to remember that for my next sock. I'm pretty proud of it so far. And I REALLY ♥ LOVE ♥ the colors. : )
Christine ended up getting sick last night. She had diarrhea. Poor baby. She slept on the couch, because she wanted to be close to the bathroom, and she just doesn't like being bothered too much when her stomach is upset. I came out every couple of hours to check on her, and make sure that she was okay. I set up the couch for her with some blankies(one that I had crocheted for her : ) ) and some pillows. I made sure that there were waters in the fridge, and got out Mistro, a dragon that I had crocheted for her last year. I came out at one point and she was all curled up. I wanted to give her a forehead kiss, but I didn't want to wake her. I know that she has a hard enough time sleeping without being sick.
Other than that, we went to a small town to go to a Tastee Freez. Has anyone ever been to one? They have pretty good food. I had a really good burger, and a dipped cone. She had a frito chilli pie...I think that's what it's called...and some tater tots, and a chocolate covered cherry ice cream thingy.
We got our tater tot casserole dish back from Christine's Mom tonight, so I'm planning on making that tomorrow night for din-din. As for now, I'm thinking about tackling the cheez-its and playing some sims, which I never did last night. I promise, as soon as I actually have something done on my sock, I'll post a pic! I'll talk to ya guys tomorrow.

A bunch of stuff.
I still haven't managed to get my second square done. *sigh* I wasn't really in much of a knitting mood yesterday. I know weird. But I did get a little bit done on it. I'm hoping to get it done tonight while Christine is at the gym. I enjoy my alone time at the house, because I get to have *ME* time. : )
Yesterday we got food stamps. They gave us $200 to last til the end of the month, which worked fine for us. Needless to say, we went shopping. Christine kept getting worried that we went over our budget. She always does that. But, we didn't. We got some meat. And some things for meals. : ) But we mainly got snacky items, because that's what we were mainly short on. We got two boxes of family size Cheez-it's. One for each of us lol. We are Cheez-it's addicts in this house. Especially me. And, sadly, I've managed to get Gia addicted to them too. She actually knows what the box looks like. It's crazy lol.
Tonight for din-din, I'm thinking that I'm gonna make some chicken Alfredo. I'm also gonna make some chestnut bacon wraps for h'orderves. Here's the recipe for them, if you care to try it:
Can of Water Chestnuts
Bacon
Dill
Worcestershire Sauce
Lime or Lemon Juice.
You just combine the dill, Worcestershire sauce lime or lemon juice and let them soak for about fifteen minutes. Then you wrap the water chestnuts in the bacon and stick a toothpick in them. Then, you just stick them in the oven on broil. Pretty easy huh?
I'm also gonna make Cherry-O Cheese Pie. Here's the recipe. That's pretty much my plans for this evening. I'm really wishing that I had some nicotine lozenges. I'm trying to quit smoking, and it my head hurts SO damn bad. : (
Oh, I forgot to tell ya'll that I had an interview with Aflac today. Didn't go so well. Not because of anything that I did wrong though. It's just, the dude realized that we're needing the money now. In order to become a sales agent, you have to get your license. That costs $400. Then he was saying that it takes six to seven months even to get really started. He was a really sweet guy though, and I seriously appreciated his honesty.
Well, I guess that's about it for now. It's about nap time for my kids. It smells like someone pooped. AWESOME! *eyeroll* Talk to ya'll later.
