don’t blink

We been back in NYC for about a week now, it seems like longer, we are already back into our routines and into the swing of the last days of summer. Finley turned 3 years old while we were away and had a blast celebrating his birthday with his grandparents, cousins aunts and uncles. It was a really good trip. I learned a lot about myself, nothing like being incubated with the parental units for two weeks to help you realize some things about yourself. All in all though a good trip. I didn’t do anything too crafty when I was away, I did get to visit one of my favorite yarn shops near Shaker Hts. Fine Points. They have a great selection of yarns and are always super nice. I did score some discounted Jaeger yarn and a Sidar pattern book to knit a sweater for Finley. I am also planning ton starting a sweater for Tobias for our big 10 year anniversary this fall. Wish me luck, I better get to knitting if it is going to get done in time.

I also had the pleasure of seeing my friend Melissa who I haven’t seen in many, many years. I got to meet her adorable family, see her amazing home, and eat at her and her hubby’s restaurant Sweet Melissa’s in Rocky River. Where the food was fantastic. I was very impressed. I also learned a lot about my old hometown this trip. It isn’t such a bad place. There are a ton of cute, affordable neighborhoods and there is culture. I feel like living in NYC has kind of made me this urban-snob. One of those people that thinks that only good things happen in big cities and that there are only two places, or one for that matter and that is NYC. But I like the middle of the country, and there are people all over doing interesting things. I think reading some of the blogs that I read have really brought that point home to me as well. The country is a big place and there are good and beautiful things going on everywhere.

Anywho, Woooo Hooo Ohio.
