Good Luck at LSU this weekend, guys. Please don't get your a*sses kicked too badly...

Lemons and a Football A*s Kicking...

...sums up last weekend.

Saturday, the Fresno State football team got their a*s handed to them during Homecoming. But I didn't care; I was having WAAAYYY too much fun at the tailgate.


I had every intent on knitting up something Fresno-Stateish this season; I even have the blue & red Cascade 220 waiting in my stash. However, I always end up drinking a little too much wine to do anything productive other than jump on my boyfriends back while he is talking politics to a family friend.

Sunday I threw my first baby shower. Weddings of my friends, I've gotten over. But baby showers? It was definitely a little wierd.


(that's my mama in the center with the napkin in her lap)
I was pretty damn impressed with our 60$ decorations. Lemon leaves from my grandma's backyard and lemons delievered fresh first thing in the morning (TNB's family is in the fruit business so he gives me the hook-up). The brunch and champagne was AWESOME.

I finished up the Placket Pullover in time for the shower, but am saving it to gift until my friends hubby is around. Photos & knitting updates soon
