Good News, Bad News Monday
Good news: Today is my (our) 24th wedding anniversary! Twenty four years of being married to my best friend, 24 years he has had to put up with me, 24 years that he has been making me laugh. 
Bad news: I managed to put myself in the doghouse with WH this week, as he has spent untold hours color-correcting 450+ photos for this week’s Sneak Up. That’s what happens when we take a couple of weeks off from Sneaking new stuff up for you. 
Good news: Lots of fun things going up sometime this week for your shopping pleasure.
Bad news: Lots of fun things going up sometime this week for your shopping pleasure. (And more next week.)
Good news: I did some knitting this weekend and have the second Noro sock almost done. I’ll post it when it’s done and washed.
Bad news: I tired out my knitting fingers with one of my other favorite Christmas presents. (My kids rolled their eyes when I asked for Guitar Heroes for Christmas.) Jari – are you practicing for our eventual re-match??
Good news: We were named “Pusher of the Year” in these awards. How fun is that?
Bad news: The list also contained a lot of fun blogs and resources that I have had to add to my “must read” and “must check out” list. For my spare time.
Good news: I found these cute cupcakes while shopping this weekend. Don’t they look good enough to eat? They’re in my kitchen window, along with some other fun things for the season.
Bad news: Looking at them every day makes me want to eat cupcakes.
Good news: I’ve managed to set aside my spinning momentarily, while I figure out how to make the tension right with a Woolee Winder.
Bad news: We have such fun roving in-house that it’s making me nuts not to be spinning.
Good news: Zoe-the-cat is a mouser! (Don’t ask me how I know.)
Bad news: Gracie-the-cat is not. (Don’t ask me how I know.)
Good news: That was a month ago and she hasn’t had the opportunity to practice her mousing skills again.
Bad news: Casey-the-dog also thinks she’s a mouser. (Well – that was bad news for the mouse in this instance…..)

Happy Anniversary Sheri and WH!!! I hope you are able to carve out some quality time together – the sneak up can wait, FPS! : )
I am finally back to work and have a ton of things to do, but after all morning organzing (without the help of a SB latte), I’m ready to start at my list of “to do’s” one by one… I feel a little less stressed now…

Good news: As per one of my New Year’s resolutions, I took a ballet class on Saturday for the first time in four years, and it was wonderful!
Bad news: It hurts to walk up and down the stairs, because it’s been four years since I took a ballet class…
Happy Anniversary!

January 7, 2008 @ 1:04 pm
Congratulations on your anniversary! I’m staring down the barrel at 19 years, so I know that 24 years is worth a grand celebration.
And if it helps, please tell WH that there is NO PLACE better than the Loopy Ewe for viewing the BEST photos of yarn. When I’m having a stressful moment, I just pop into Loopy and stare at yarn until I feel better. Sometimes I feel like I should send Loopy a co-pay for the therapeutic benefit. ; )

January 7, 2008 @ 1:07 pm
Good news: It is warm today currently 49, falling from overnight high of 52. And our house is quite high, compared to down the street or much of the rest of our town. I feel better when it is not too cold.
Bad news: It is melting our snow too quickly. Top that off with the fact that we had a thunderstorm this noon! And, tomorrow, we are supposed to get 1 to 2 inches of rain. Sigh! There will be flooding in some areas. And, we are supposed to cool off and get more snow later this week. I wish the weather would just make up its mind!
Congratulations on your 24th anniversary! I hope you do something fun to celebrate! Our 35th anniversary was December 30th.

Good News: I’ve worked out eight times in the last week and a half.
Bad News: CUPCAKES?!? What kinda help is that?!??!?!
Good News: The cupcakes really are cute.
Bad News: They’re still cupcakes.
Good News: Almost finished my first-ever-for-myself socks.
Bad News: Finishing the socks means going on to the next item on the list: the abandoned for various reasons Fair Isle sweater…eek…not looking forward to steeks.
Good News: Happy Anniversary!!
Bad News: Our 25th is in August and I can’t figure out what to do for it!
Have a great day; tell WH thanks for the help with everything!

My brother got married on the exact same day as you Sheri. They are celebrating 24 years this year too. Hard to believe. Congratulations
Good News–Working on some Lorna’s Laces Socks
Bad News–They are ticking me off.
Good News–I might actually get that wheel soon.
Bad News–Waiting ticks me off
Good News–A Sneak Up
Bad News–Yarn Diet can’t buy yarn ticks me off.

January 7, 2008 @ 1:22 pm
I am on a very strict yarn diet. We are now ULTRA-BUDGETY. So you hush! Pusher!!! (Must…avoid…sneakup…)
Good news: OH MY GOSH they’re putting in a freestanding Starbucks in Clermont! See, right now, our only Starbucks is in the Target, which opens at 8:00, when I’m already well out of town on my way to work. This new one will be open early enough for me to pick up a morning cuppa! AND it’s on the right side of the road! (I have a weird thing against making unnecessary left turns.) AND it has a drive-through! (See, the one in downtown Orlando that I could also go to is a bit out-of-the-way, has no drive-thru, and requires me to enter a parking structure and walk a block…not much of a deterent, but it helps sway me away most days.)
Bad news: Uh, they’re putting in a right-side drive-thru freestanding early-opening Starbucks on my way to work. (See also: ultra-budgety.)

Congrats, Sheri & WH, on 24 years!! Hope you get to spend some time together today! And please thank WH for us for the pics! But 450?!?! I’m shaking in my shoes! I think JenLa got it right, naming you Pusher of the Year. Personally, I’d say Enabler, but it’s all good! …Sipping my Venti Sumatra while awaiting the sneak-up….

Tiffany said,
January 7, 2008 @ 1:51 pm
Happy anniversary!
But you have broken my heart with mention of such an awesome sneak-up, for I am on a yarn diet and cannot partake.
But I will oogle the photos anyway, what with all the slaving that’s been done over them!
Megann said,
January 7, 2008 @ 2:10 pm
Happy Anniversary!! And oh boy.. Guitar Hero 3.. I gave that to my son for Christmas and I can’t put it down!!! It’s seriously cutting into my knitting time!!!
Anniebananie said,
January 7, 2008 @ 2:12 pm
Happy Anniversary!!!!
It is good news that Zoe is a mouser, unless, of course, she leaves presents on your pillow. Then it’s just kind of ooogie.
Good news: I haven’t missed the sneak up.
Bad news: There hasn’t been a sneak up yet.
Good news: I’ve finished one mitten for a friend, and will do up the second one tonight.
Bad news: I still have 4 pair of socks, a jacket and a top on the needles.
How are those cupcakes made? Are they ceramic, candles, resin??? They look so real!
Sarah said,
January 7, 2008 @ 2:18 pm

Happy Anniversary to you both! Hubby and I are going on 4 years and it FEELS like 24 sometimes lol…
Guitar Hero 3 has been extremely popular. I work at Best Buy and this one guy comes in I swear every day and plays for hours…
Good News: It’s pretty and snowing outside.
Bad News: The roads are pretty cruddy b/c of that.
Good News: I have the rest of the day to stay in and knit!
Bad News: I have to fit cleaning in there somewhere…
Monica said,

Happy Anniversary to you ane WH. I bet you aren’t really in the dog house.
Guitar Hero LOL my daughter came home from a friends house last week declaring she is a Guitar Hero superstar and we must have this.
Good news : I am busy finishing us second socks, making singletons into pairs.
Bad News: I have an uncontrolable desire to cast on with some new yarn…. I must be strong.
Bad News: Still battling this blasted virus
Good News: The kids have not caught it and are ready : ) to go back to school healthy and rested.
If I wasn’t too lazy to go out and get a Starbucks today , it would definitely be a Venti day. Too bad they don’t deliver …. or maybe that is a good thing.
Congrats on the “award” and Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary to you and WH! Next year is definitely a biggie for you! How funny about the Guitar Hero…we just got it for E for his birthday and since today was his last day off from break he stayed up to about 2am playing. Unfortunately the wireless guitar player that goes along with it wasn’t compatible with III (lies from the staff at the store that ignore the box, the guitar is compatible with versions other than I & II). I know you are having fun with it…I was just watching and listening to E and had a blast!
Tammy said,
January 7, 2008 @ 3:15 pm
My kids got Guitar Hero for Christmas with 2 guitars from their aunts & uncles. Isn’t it a blast!! We played all day Christmas day but our own x-box broke right before Christmas. We almost rushed out to buy a whole new one but decided on patience and DH ordered the parts to hopefull fix the old one. Afterall, I need money for the sneak-up!
Valerie said,
January 7, 2008 @ 3:24 pm
Happy anniversary and congratulations on the wonderful relationship which you have nurtured over the last 24 years!
Good news: you are having a Sneak Up soon.
Bad news: my internet connection has been unreliable over the last few days(something wrong with the external line which needs to be repaired) and I’m crossing my fingers that it will work when the Sneak Up appears.
Good news: I got in quite a bit of knitting time on a sweater I’m knitting for my husband this weekend.
Bad news: I worked on it so much that I’m having spasms of pain in none of my fingers.
Good news: it doesn’t hurt to knit socks, so I’ll get a break from the sweater and get to work on something smaller for a bit.
Have a great anniversary, Sheri and thanks to WH for all his work on the photos.
Castiron said,
January 7, 2008 @ 3:34 pm
Happy anniversary!!!
Good news: School starts tomorrow! I get to go back to work!
Bad news: The pile of boring stuff that I’ll have to grind through to get to the interesting stuff…well, I’ll probably spend the rest of this week asking myself “why do I like this job again?”
Good news: I’m up to the heel space on my sister’s socks.
Bad news: Since she likes her socks on the long side, I’m going to have to buy one more skein of yarn.
Really bad news: It’s out of stock at TLE.
Mitigating news: I have until mid-February to finish, so it may come back in by then. (And it’s one that I _can_ get elsewhere if I have to.)
Good news: I’m almost finished with my first pair of Regia Bamboo socks. They seem to fit really well, and the yarn feels nice, at least before being washed/abused
.
Good news: That means I’ll soon be able to start another pair of socks.
Bad news: I’m still buying sock yarn faster than I can knit it.
Bad news: I’m buying other yarn faster than I can knit it too.

Happy Anniversary!
.. 450 pics color corrected… what a sweet anniversary gift;) Wow.
Good news- the yarn you just got in and are posting soon? We’ll buy it. That’s for sure-
7 Profitable business makes the WH happy happy I’m sure. 
Bad news… the yarn you are posting? Hmmmm it will soon need to be packed too—hope those loopy eleves are well rested;)
ducks and runs from computer before packing stress sets in…
my post for today is about a candle/knitting related incident- however- no loopy yarn was ruined in this incident;) just the crappy stuff…. and the carpet and the wall, and the longaberger…..

January 7, 2008 @ 4:14 pm
Happy Anniversary! And you are definitely an enabler. [So, I'm young enough to be your daughter, you could just you know, adopt me into the Loopy Household. I wouldn't mind being a Loopy slave, er, elf.

Michele in Maine said,
January 7, 2008 @ 4:14 pm
happy anniversary, Sheri and WH! What an achievement.
450 photos – be still my heart! There goes my loopy credit, and then some!
Can’t wait. Yes, you are a pusher but you’re so nice about it we don’t mind! Heck, you make us ask for more!
Lou said,
January 7, 2008 @ 4:47 pm
Happy Anniversary! I hope my DH and I are together that long and more.
I need Zoe!! We have a mouse in the attic and though we have 3 cats, one thinks he’s a mouser, bit hasn’t caught the mouse yet, and the other 2 cats are too lazy to care.
Not sure I should be looking at the Sneak Up — my yarn diet of 2008 lasted 4 days. DH isn’t happy with me. But of course Wollmeise sock yarn won’t count since I’ve been trying to get some since 2007 and I have Loopy Credit. That wil be in the Sneak Up after this one, right? I’m in trouble…
TMTTYRR said,
January 7, 2008 @ 4:55 pm
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! That in and of itself is good news!
And I love those cupcakes! They had some squeaky dog toys that looked like cupcakes at Target yesterday. They, too, would make decent decorations (though probably not as cute as yours).
Good news: Back to full work weeks, which is really good news when you are paid hourly.
Bad news: Less knitting time.
Good news: It’s still kind of quiet at work, so I might get some knitting time out of that.
Bad news: I can’t bring my knitting chair or my cat to work to help with the knitting.
Good news: The Christmas tree made it out to the curb in time for today’s garbage pick up.
Bad news: Paddy O’Cat doesn’t understand that there will be another one next year, and so he is very depressed.
Good news: I cast on for a pair of socks (Dancing Tulips) for myself, figuring that if I knit 2 or 3 rounds per day/night (right before bed), I might have them finished by the fall.
Yes, the startitis got the better of me. Again.
Bad news: Still not quite done with the Christmas knitting, and I have new baby knitting that I’m now behind on.
Good news: I actually had time last week to get some of my stuff updated on Ravelry.
Bad news: I have way more to put up there. It’s rather frightening….
Good news: Paddy, my cat, is also a mouser.
Bad news: Well, half-way, anyhow. He’s got the stalk and catch part down, it’s the kill and eat part he doesn’t understand.
Meghann said,
January 7, 2008 @ 4:57 pm
Good News: I got a nice gift card as a Christmas gift to the Loopy Ewe
Bad News: Even with that I have a feeling I will be buying more!
Good News: For a brief shining moment this afternoon, both my kids were napping at the same time.
Bad News: It didn’t last that long.
Happy Anniversary!!!!!
Ronni said,
January 7, 2008 @ 5:00 pm
Happy Anniversary! Please tell WH how much we all appreciate his very hard work. He’s our hero!
Good News: School Started! I will soon have more free time again and can read blogs and still get some knitting done. I hope.
Bad News: I’m not off the holiday and gift craziness carousel for another couple of weeks since the kid and my Mum both have birthdays this month. So the more free time thing isn’t happening yet.
Good News: I only have one outstanding holiday gift to finish knitting.
Bad News: I think I’m going to have to rip everything I have knit for it thus far and start over on larger needles.
Good News: Someone asked for a hand knit from me the other day. I’m quite pleased.
Bad News: You’re out of the yarn I need for it.
Good News: It might be in the upcoming Sneak Up so if I haunt the shop I might be able to get it.
Bad News: If I haunt the shop, I’ll spend less time knitting.
tina said,
January 7, 2008 @ 5:06 pm
Still laughing. First off, happy anniversary, marriage is a hard thing to do and I applaud you and your wbf (wed best friend). Good on ya!
good news: Half a day off
bad news: Lunch at Bandana’s BBQ and the HOT light was on at Krispy Kreme.
good news: time to fix the sweater off on a bad foot
bad news: not a lot of time to knit it once I get it jump started
good news: 70 freakin’ degrees today
bad news: the piper is gonna charge handsomely

Congratulations!…and Happy Anniversary to you and your DH.
The good news around here is that we have power (and that means heat & ability to cook!) after being without for 48 hours. I know…that’s nothing to what many have to endure, and we were lucky to have family here in town who, luckily, DID have power.
The bad news is that we had to throw out everything in our refrigerator and freezer – well maybe we didn’t have to, but my philosophy (having had salmonella once!) is better safe than sorry – so we’re starting with an almost pristine frig!
The good news is that I placed an on-line order to replenish same; it will be delivered by Safeway tomorrow. Gotta love on-line ordering and delivery to the kitchen! And all for $4.95 extra!
Again, Sheri…happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary Sheri and DH!
Good news: My New Year’s yarn order came, quick as ever!
Bad news: There’s more to it than just buying lovely yarn to get great socks.
I like knitting socks as much as anyone, don’t get me wrong! But wouldn’t it be great sometimes if the sock faeries did some of the work while we were off working or sleeping, or something? It would be kind of cool to wake up to surprize socks in the morning.
Keri said,
January 7, 2008 @ 11:04 pm
Good news: I finally completed a set of quilted travel bags for my girlfriend in PA and got them in the mail today. They’d been in progress since .. October? Making a quilted duffel bag (like the Vera Bradley small duffel) isn’t easy when you have to work up your own pattern!
Bad news: She won’t get them until Thursday, so I don’t know how well she’ll like them until then!
Good news: I’m getting along really well with an on-again-off again male “friend”.
Bad news: I want more from it than he does.
Good news: Sock #2 of my CTH Forest Path socks is half done.
Bad news: The colorway is sold out, and I don’t think they regularly stock it. I want more!!!
Good news: No tornadoes here in Rolla .. yet.
Bad news: I just spent the last 30 minutes in the basement, and I will probably get to spend more time there tonight.

Happy Anniversary Sheri and WH! And if it makes him feel any better about color-correcting 450+ photos, we all appreciate it when we’re squinting at the monitor trying to decide which color is exactly right—he’s the best!
Pushing yarn is one thing, but showing those cupcakes may be going over the line. Real or not, they look very, very good!
tabitha said,
January 8, 2008 @ 10:18 am
Good News: We haven’t had to call the plumber in 3 days
Bad News: We had to call him twice in the previous 7 days.
Good News: Finished my friend Rose’s Christmas scarf
Bad News: Still haven’t finished the one for my hubby
Good News: The unfinished scarf for hubby is yummy soft alpaca and a pleasure to knit.
More Good News: Now that I have gotten rid of those pesky holiday gifts, I can finally start clearing out some of those UFOs and knit for myself
Bad News: I have an awful lot of UFOs that got pushed to the back burner during the Christmas knitting madness.
Good news: Finishing UFOs means that I can start new knitting projects
Bad News: Need new yarn for said knitting projects
Good News: We will be getting a tax refund soon.
Happy Anniversary!!

Happy belated anniversary!
Good news: Fling deposit paid
Bad news: It’s not April yet
Good news: Sneak-up had some non-yarn items
Bad news: I’m still on a yarn diet unless it’s Wollmeise
My cat and dog are both mousers. The cat catches them and the dog barks at them (she’s part terrier). Fortunately I don’t have mice very often.

Good News: I bought teeny tiny cute 1/2 cup size Ben&Jerry’s ice creams on sale.
Bad News: This means my kids will eat 3 bites and leave the rest to melt.
Good News: I have my first FO of the year!
Bad News: I haven’t knit on anything since.
Good News: That’s because I was too busy having fun with old friends this weekend.
I think I like the idea of ending on a note of good news. My youngest had his very first RAK yesterday as well, it was adorable. He hugged a little girl (about his size) at the doctor’s office. He was a little enthusiastic though, and they toppled over. Still ever so adorable.
