TGIT - Thank Goodness it's Thursday!
Having summers off in the Friday (for me) has its ups and downs for me. But this week I am psyched because I leave tomorrow for three beautiful days in the country with Randy and my best friend Katie! Pig Roast here we come!
How do you think these two c-idiots will handle the backwoods this weekend?
Until Next Time,

Awful Child
OMG! How could I forget about today's important reason for posting!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL MOTHER, KATE!
While I know everyone spends their mother's birthday's sending cute messages, flowers, or cards, I thought I would put up a little tribute to her here. My mother is the strongest, funniest, most inspiring woman I have ever met. When my grandmother was sick and ailing, my mother was her caretaker. When I was tired or hurt as a child (and sometimes still as an adult), my mother hugs me and makes everything feel better. Whenever something goes wrong at the house, my mother fixes it! It seems there is nothing she cannot accomplish!
I am so proud to be your daughter. I am so thankful you cherished your mother's passion for knitting and passed it along to me. It has been a wonderful way to bond with you and I treasure all the time we get to spend together - knitting or otherwise!
Thank you so much for always taking wonderful care of me, my siblings, and especially, my father. You are an amazing woman and I wish you the most wonderful birthday celebration.
I love you! Happy Birthday!

The Knitter Who Is Not A Committer
I have been very remiss in blogging as of late. With all of this wedding craziness (not only my own, but participating in several weddings this summer as well) Randy and I have not spent a weekend at our own apartment in almost 6 weeks!
With that being said, my knitting has taken a very back seat. I was looking through old blog posts today when my soon-to-be father-in-law asked for the blog website. I realized there are so many projects I wanted to complete for last Christmas that I still barely started. But, in all this wedding nonsense I think it is fair to say I cannot do it all!
Does anybody else ever feel as though their knitting becomes a chore they are so busy with life? I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I need a new job!
Until Next Time (and hopefully that will be in the next few days!),

Dreary Days Ahead
With all of this rain and cold it's hard to believe it is summertime in New York City. Is anybody else feeling blue at the prospect of a chilly and drizzly week ahead?
All I can say is that Saturday is supposed to be dry. And I certainly hope so! Randy and I are celebrating our first engagement party hosted by Randy's parents at their house in the Hampton's on Saturday. I will be honest, I think I am most excited about getting to open up some presents. I know, I know, I am very greedy but there is no greater feeling in the world then tearing wrapping paper!
Until Next Time,
Desperately Waiting for Saturday...

Happy Surprise
Who was caught completely off guard yesterday when you received the information for Vogue Knitting Live NYC 2013!!! THIS GUY! I cannot believe how early they have announced next year's dates and location.
I do not know how I feel about the new location. As a New Yorker, I DREAD going anywhere near Times Square. If there is anywhere a New Yorker feels out of place, it is there! Oh well, I think it will be great for out-of-town guests to check out the local tourist traps. I wasn't all that happy with the Hilton the past two years (if you all remember "the incident" two years ago where a waiter spilled a whole glass of wine on me!).
Who is up for a new adventure?

Out of Town/Out of Place Fan
One thing you probably do not know about Broke Knitter, but she is a HUGE sports fan. Growing up in Boston, especially with a sports-crazed father like mine, I had no chance of escaping uninhibited by the world of sports.
As most of you probably know, New York is in full sports fever these days. Ever since (GRRR) the Giants Superbowl win, the Knicks in the playoffs and now the Rangers in the Stanley Cup Eastern Finals, New York fans are crazier than ever.
While I promise that Boston will always been where my roots lie, it has been fun getting caught up in some exciting sports atmospheres.
Exciting news, Julie and Randy are going to tonight's Rangers vs. Devils Game 1 at Madison Square Garden! We got a great deal on a pair of tickets in nosebleed central, but Randy is jumping for joy!
Broke Knitter is going to try to duck out of here a few minutes early today to pick up Randy some new Ranger gear. Who is the best fiancee ever!
Until Next Time,
Here we go Rangers....

Spring Has Sprung!
I don't know about the other inhabitants of New York City, but this girl is PSYCHED about the weather we are having today! After being teased with that amazingly warm weather in March we have suffered through rain, wind, and cold for the past several weeks, and I have had enough of it!
Today's weather brings sunshine and a light spring breeze to the Big Apple. I, for one, am very very happy about it. Looking at this weekend's weather forecast of 70 degrees and sunny only makes me giddy! I plan on going for a nice long run tomorrow and then taking Abby to the dog park to run around like crazy. Who else has fun plans to enjoy this amazing weather?
Until Next Time,
Basking in the Sun....
