Just a dash

Me plant seeds. Me tired.

That's about all that's going through my head right now. Well that and "I really need to finish the swing set." So what if it's going on 3 weeks? And we can't really use the yard that now doubles as a lumber mill. That's one of my goals for this weekend.
I already fertilized and planted everything in the main veggie bed, but I still have to get to the containers, which is my second goal for the weekend. Must finish planting before summer really begins. Michigan growing seasons can be short...or really long...you just can't predict these things.

On to knitting:
I just turned the heel of my second monkey sock and I seem to be having some trouble finishing it. The problem is not with the pattern, or SSS (second sock syndrome), rather it has everything to do with the fact that these socks which I began to knit for me...don't fit. They fit my younger sister (who will most likely be the default recipient of all socks that are too small to fit me), but I wanted them for me.

Me.

Me.

Me.

It's not that I'm selfish about sharing knitted stuff. I love it actually. It's just that I know she doesn't really get the whole knitted sock thing, and I'm not sure she'll really appreciate them. But I'm sure she'll like them...once they finish...which may or may not me in time for her b-day in 3 days.
You know that whole birthday deadline angle might be just the thing those socks finished. I love working on a deadline (when there's a reasonable chance I'll get something done...this will not be a repeat of the baby blanket from hell incident I'd like to keep just between us).

I guess I have my evening planned out. Knitting, showering and kitchen clean-up. My family informs me that the above order of importance is not acceptable. Sigh.
