FO Crisis!

("FO" = "Finished Object" if you didn't know)

So we're at dinner at some friends house last night. I wore my new Wildfoote socks. We live in a "take your shoes off at the door" culture out here in the country. Midway through the evening, I'm wiggling my right foot and look down at it and THERE'S A BIG HOLE IN THE TOE. Un-fricking-believable. Looks like I didn't catch the last set of stitches when I kitchener'd the toe. Or something like that. Anyway, it looks like it will be easy to fix.

Today is my oldest son's 14th birthday. (My baby!! How can this be?) He is planning a big get-together at the rec center with his friends this afternoon, including some girls. There has been a flurry of phone activity at the house this morning. I'm not particularly excited about my kids entering the teenage years. They're so...controllable when they're little. Letting go little by little will not be fun. But it is necessary and ultimately good.

In other news, Lisa and I are on a weight-loss challenge which Lisa has aptly titled the "Fat-4-Stash Dash." First one to lose 10 pounds wins stash. Read more here and here.

Karen, you are very entertaining to know...even if it is through cyber-space. I can imagine the look on your face when you looked down and saw that hole! I'm so glad that it is something easy to fix, as I am sympathtic with you as a knitter, but I still think the whole story is funny as heck. Surprised you didn't insist on popping that cork after finding this crisis matter to settle your nerves!
