Birthday socks!
Naturally, I'm still knitting other socks (I have two more pairs to finish for myself), but I'm also in the happy process of choosing some baby items to knit and finding the yarn for those projects. Which...I won't be able to show you until after they are gifted. Good thing this isn't a knitting blog - I'd be really lacking in content right now!

Speaking of basic needs, the last time I ordered coffee was in June, when we'd had an expensive month, what with both of our birthdays and other big expenses (like a plane ticket to California). So you can imagine my dilemma when news of the Knit Picks Felici self-striping sock yarn appeared in my inbox - they only sell this yarn once a year, and I love it. Last year I bought quite a bit and while I still haven't knitted it all up, just knowing that I can only get it for a short time gives me angst. However, I needed (NEEDED) that coffee. I still had plenty of sock yarn. I could only order one thing...and the coffee won out. No regrets.
Now, I just checked, and they actually still have some of the Felici yarn available (last year it sold out really quickly), but I'm going to hold off...I'll be visiting some yarn stores in a couple of weeks, and it will be fun to see the yarn in person before buying it, for a change. Restraint...I have a little bit.
Usually after I do my weekday run, I'm full of energy and ready to get things done, very early in the morning. That's when I love online shopping the most: CLICK - dog food ordered, CLICK - cat food ordered, CLICK - coffee pods ordered. The basic needs of everyone in our household are taken care of, and I feel like I've accomplished so much, even before sunrise!

Speaking of coffee, have you tried the Iced Coconut Milk Caramel Mocha Macchiato from Starbucks? I went in recently, intending to get my usual nonfat iced latte, but I had a freebie coming, so when I saw the ICMCMM (my gosh, can it have a longer name?), I ordered it...and let's just say it was the BEST DRINK EVER! That first sip was amazing. I figure I can do this once in a while - this drink has enough calories that I won't get it very often, but when I do, it will be a very good day, indeed.

We are having a fun run tomorrow - I mapped out our route so that we finish at Stripes, where we will get Icees! It will be well into the 80s by the time we finish running, so that Icee is going to feel pretty darn good - a cool down from the inside out!
Have a great weekend!
