Now! I’m off to enjoy a birthday weekend. Yesterday Cheesecake factory, today hubby made dinner (and a brownie cake wreck) and gave me an awesome crochet hook and Turkish drop spindle, tomorrow more celebrating with family and friends.

Update: The winner was Sharon C.

Today I was reading a about spinning in a new book I bought, Start Spinning by Maggie Casey. With only one spinning class behind me I have a lot to learn. Back in October I bought a spinning wheel that isn’t one of the big brands so help manuals are sparse. Tension was a bit of a problem so I’m going to read this book first and maybe start with a drop spindle again.

Cooking is also going slow. Friday I had a burst of energy after work and “attempted” soup that turned into more of a flavored rice. Oh well. At least the pre-packaged oat meal cookies with chocolate chips turned out well.
