Upside Down & Sideways

Today I got to do one of my absolute favorite things! Besides buy yarn that is... and, of course, knit. For my birthday, my husband took me to Six Flags Magic Mountain for a day of roller coaster fun! My pal, Paula and her husband joined us... and we made good use of the water rides (and ice cream) to withstand the 100 degree heat. (But I will tell you that I was definitely feeling a year older. 5 years ago I wouldn't have left the park until they kicked us out.)


I didn't get many good pictures, but this was our favorite ride... Tatsu. (Paula can hardly wait to get aboard! Hee Hee)



My mom and dad also spoiled me with a great present...



I'm looking forward to checking out some of the knitting podcasts and listening to some good books while I knit. (And I'm lucky my 15 yo son can teach me how to use it.) What's that on the screen you ask? Well I had to download something to try it out! Yes, I'm well familiar with the word obsession.

Oh, and that is a finished Montego Bay in the background. More pics tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, Tammy!! Great birthday present! My husband bought me an iPod last year for my birthday, but I never got to use it 'cause he kept it and never gave it back. I think I need another one this year!

Happy Birthday! MY husband just got an iPod for work and he keeps on saying that I need one now. Like you, I want to listen to knitting podcasts!

Happy Birthday, Yeay for rollercoasters. If they don't go upside down, they are not even worth it to go on. Unfortunately I'm the only one in my family that thinks like this. My hubby left me an Ipod. Now how do I use that thing?

Happy, happy birthday, Tammy! I pray you have a blessed and happy year to come! :0)

Can't wait to see the Montego bay scarf!

I hope your absence is due to lots of knitting and fun times...]
no broken bones or stitches, please.

Happy Birthday! I knew I liked you for a reason...

For most of our honeymoon, D and I went amusement park hopping in SoCal. Searching for the best coaster. Our dream vacation is to do a lot more of that!
