Shoot me now

My head is not being nice to me. I’ve had a headache since Sunday morning. I’ve been slightly nauseated since Sunday morning. I’m not pregnant, for those of you who associate any and all forms of nausea with pregnancy. Yesterday, I went to the chiropractor and got cracked. He said, as I suspected, that my neck was way whacked. Actually, what he really said, or rather exclaimed quite loudly was, “WHOOA!!!” I knew something was up. Unfortunately, once I get that bad, it takes awhile to return to normal. So here I am, hating life.

I’m annoyed I had to miss the knitting group last night. I haven’t been there in awhile, and was really looking forward to it. Sorry Hayden. Didn’t mean to tease.

Before I decided to vent about my physical condition, I was going to host a little poll as to what the title of this entry should be.

A.- I am weak, and I succumbed. Are you disappointed?

or

B.- I’m learning. Check this out!

Wanna know why?

That’s right, I bought Olivia a coat. Isn’t it cute? It was 40% off of an already marked down price. So I think it totaled about 60% off. It is big enough to use next year as well. It cost less than three of the skeins of Donegal Tweed I was going to buy to attempt making one. I think this was a very good decision. The kid is happy and warm. I have avoided unnecessary stress, and the checkbook is all the better for it.

As for the Hayden-along…

Susan knit the first Hayden that I’m aware of that was gifted to a man. (Now that I say that, it seems like someone else’s husband was interested in one. Right, it was Lisa’s husband). Anyway, Susan’s brother, who looks pretty darned cute, got a nice Hayden for Christmas. Yay, Susan!

Donna mentioned in the comments recently that she is working on hers. We send well wishes.

Also, I happened across a blog yesterday who has made an impressive Hayden Scarf! Well, she really made a slipped garter stitch scarf, since I claim nothing for the invention of the stitch, but it was cool, just the same. (Loved the fringe).

Any other Haydens happening out there?
