Not so good, Al...

So today was exam day, and well... I choked. Not from lack of study as I'd feared but more from overstudying... everything ran together in my head and I couldn't make any sense of it. Damn. Not how I wanted to end the semester but I'm not going to beat myself up over it - it's only school after all, which is supposed to be for my own edification and enjoyment. C'est la vie. And now I can give Yumi back her books. *grin*

The day wasn't a total loss however - I finished mom's second sock and dug my Tequila Sunrise socks out of the WIP bin - first TS sock now past the heel:

I also made two chocolate cakes and a batch of black-forest-style cupcakes (I took a picture of one cake, but it came out blurry, so no cake pictures). Tonight we had Dad's birthday party - he's 60, I still can't wrap my head around that one! Food and fun and I bring the dessert. I'm sensing a pattern to our social life, lately... ah well. The girls (cats) were not at all impressed that we were going out AGAIN for the evening. Squeeky was most annoyed at having to interrupt her nap so I could sit on the bed to get dressed:

And poor old Moosh was just confused because her dinner schedule was screwed up:
You'll notice the girls are messy eaters. Keeping up with cat-food crumbs is a daily chore, I'm afraid. Ah well, they give back in love. Have I mentioned that I never liked cats much before we inherited these two? It's true. But - when someone needs you, you gain an inexplicable affection for them. Or at least the urge to keep them quiet. ;p

Tomorrow is Sunday - JOY!. We have a few minor house-chores planned and then I need to do some knitting for work (how cool is that? I'm loving that concept!) and general get-ready-for-the-week-ahead stuff. It's going to be a busy one in the evenings so I need to get the house / food in order tomorrow so we can keep things running smoothly. Plus, there's a rumour of THREE back-to-back playoff hockey games tomorrow. I don't even care who's playing, that's a helluvalot of knitting time!

Your Squeekie looks like my Keelie!

Anyway, I wanted to stop by and say thanks for the congratulations. I'm all thrilled! :)

Sorry about the exam. Been there, done that.

The socks look great!

And cute cat pics - yep, keeping cats quiet is important *g*. Yours look adorable. And it's funny how quickly they wrap themselves around your heart.
