Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Ramblings, Dinner with Megan and Jennifer, More Hats, and a Pair of Mittens

A few people asked about the vacuum cleaner that John was using in my last blog post. First of all I would like to tell you what John thinks about my hair. For one thing he loves my hair, but he also thinks that I’m going to lose all of it too. I still haven’t convinced him after over 20 years of being together that I’m not going to lose it all. Anyway when he remodeled our upstairs bathroom he installed a laminate flooring which we all love so much better than that ugly carpeting. (Ugh) B-u-u-t the only problem with that is he can see all the hairs that come out of my head when I blow-dry my hair on the laminated floor. I don’t want to gross anyone out but I have stayed in a hotel room with 4 other women at the same time and let me tell you, I’m not the only one that loses their hair. I’ve told John about this and he’s still not convinced. That’s enough about hair loss and on to the vacuum cleaner. I’m not ashamed to say that John is the one who vacuums our house and most of the time he’s the one who does the dishes, so when he found this really cool vacuum cleaner better known as a Hoover Wind Tunnel Platinum Lightweight Upright Vacuum with Canister he thought he had died and went to Heaven. He just keeps the little canister vacuum upstairs in our bedroom and after I leave for work he cleans all the hair up off the bathroom floor. I feel so blessed to have such a sweet husband who cleans up after me.  🙂

Monday night we had dinner with Megan and Jennifer at TJ’s Burger House. I love to watch her do her homework and I love her new haircut.

Ok, on to the crochet front. I wanted to show you the little hat that I designed to go with the Furrylicious boots that I made for a co-worker who is having a baby girl in February. It looks kind of silly when it’s not on a baby’s head, but it sure did look cute on my doll.

I made our son Daniel a hat and John was kind enough to model it for me. He’s just so photogenic; don’t you think so?

On Monday I received a special request from my other Daughter-in-Law Alesha for a hat and a pair of mittens for our Grandson, Johnny V. I got the hat done on Tuesday morning before leaving to go to work and

I started the mittens while on my lunch break. I found the free pattern on Lion Brand Yarn Company website. I think they will be very cute. Anyone else have any hairy stories to share? 🙂 I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.
