As opposed to what we had before

When did we become a dinner party family? Two in less than a week seems to be a sudden shift in our family's entertainment lifestyle. The first was a Colombian themed dinner for 20 of our friends and family (my god, you should have seen the food!) The second is tonight is for 16 people, but about 7 of them are under the age of 15. I kicked everyone outside but the baby. Interestingly most of them are boys, so it's a different dynamic from what we normally get. I think we've settled on the dinner party idea because we enjoy food and hanging out at home. We're pretty lazy about going out together, but we enjoy people. Pretty good compromise, except for the dishes.

I had to frog my brother's toe up sock because it was wrong. So very, very wrong. I tried to work through the short row heel directions but it completely failed. I know I've only recently started knitting socks, but who would think that I've already developed a block to knitting them any other way aside from top down?

P.S.: I'm starting to hate the color blue.
