Bringing in the Sheep

Well, I've got to tell you, I had high ideas for the week...then Howdy went to Houston.  Then I got the sniffles, then I got the coughs, now I'm onto the sneezes and things aren't looking very promising for the weekend.  Yuck.  Howdy's back and he's avoiding me like I have the plague.  Wussy.

The only bright spot to the week was the arrival of my prize for Franklin's Snappy Comeback contest...

This poor sheep had to wait a long time in customs before it arrived here.  Franklin did a lovely job packaging it for me, but I wasn't waiting to go get the camera before I opened it.  You'll have to imagine it!  As soon as I recover, I'm going out to find a frame!  Thanks, Franklin!

I haven't knitted a stitch all week, because my hands are holding Kleenex most of the time.  I did look at about a jillion houses in Houston online and I managed to e-file our income taxes.  It was kind of funny, I had to access "live support chat" for some tech support and I got "Ronaldo C"  who kept addressing me as "Sir" despite my female first name that was supplied to him.  Guess those Turbo Tax users from Spanish-speaking countries are usually guys.

Have a great weekend!  I'm going to make another cup of tea...
