Baby Shower Eve

I worried, for just a minute this morning, that I had missed the crazy train. . .but alas, I have my ticket in hand, and I am on it! I have been so busy, that my Halloween pumpkin (which never actually got to be a Jack o'Lantern, like it really wanted to) now looks like this:
I suppose the up side is that now I cannot see the spot where a squirrel (or a skunk or a bird or several woodland creatures) has been slowly gnawing on it as a between-meal snack since I put it out there. . .do you think I could put some lights on it, and pass it off as a Christmas Pumpkin? sigh! Oh, well. I guess there are some things I just will not be getting around to this year. . .like the 2009 Christmas cards, but I digress (and I apologize to anyone who was expecting that card last year. . .it just never happened. . .story for another day).

As for today, I started it out slow, with coffee in my new mug from Cafe Press, and a little secret knitting:

By the way, after you get to that link, check out all the non-knitting stuff they have too. . .there is some really funny stuff. . .and they are currently running some pretty great deals! (free ad now over.)

After the morning quiet time, I kicked it into gear, rekindling my romance with the dryer. . .

. . .and working on final prep for the BABY SHOWER! First up was the baking, a double batch, so I got to use my big, yellow bowl. I love the big, yellow bowl!
I also love the way the cookies turned out! Love, love, love the sugar cookies with pink icing. . .

. . .and the chocolate pops. . .done! Yay!

And the meatballs are cooking in the crock pot, and the favors are done, and I know which games we are going to play, so all that's left is printing them out. . .it's almost here! Tomorrow is going to be such a great day, and I can't wait to spend it with Wifey-Poo and our families and friends! Babies are such a good reason to celebrate!

I suppose that's all for now. The December socks are going, and there is still some Christmas secret-knitting OTN, but the knitting is kinda on hiatus for the rest of this afternoon. . .I promise pictures of all the baby things next week! I am hoping to eventually end my day with a little of the way I started. . .a hot beverage in my "See Pam Knit." mug, and a little clicking of the needles. . .

Happy Baby Shower Eve, and knit in Good Health!
