Geaux Tigers!

I have been lurking for a while, but did not realize you guys were LSU fans, too.

I graduated from law school there and also met my husband there.

yum!
that sweater looks great so far. i love the color.

FOUR CUPS of brown sugar?! I bet those taste like heaven.

Can't wait to see that sweater finished!

Oh, I am SUCH a fan of cookie pie. I eat it on Wednesdays while watching So You Think You Can Dance. ;)

Your sweater is shaping up! That's a lovely red. I can't wait to see the finished object.

Fun! When my husband goes out of town for work, I always miss him but kind of love not feeling guilty about knitting, eating sweets, and watching reruns of What Not To Wear all night, every night. :)

Your sweater is going to be so pretty!

mmmm, pie. yes, pie.

I've been reading back on your blog and I really enjoy it! The mouse post reminds me of the mole that makes its way in every year (I like to pretend it's the same one).

The blondies look great, and I like the heath bits instead of the chocolate chips, too.

oh, the blondies look so good! the baking bug has hit me too! must be the fall like air.
glad you enjoyed your time alone!

Yum, yum, yum! Quiet knitting time is blissful, isn't it?

Mmm, those look delicious.

I love those rare times alone when the rest of the family is off somewhere.

Happy knitting!

That's one of my favorite cookbooks! You should try the restaurant if you ever in the Chapel Hill area, such a treat! Now I must go make some blondies!

I've been itching to bake an apple pie. Just waiting for time. Oh yeah, and trying to slowly eat through all the goodies we already have hanging around the kitchen first.

4 cups of sugar! My teeth are aching just thinking about it. Joel would love them though

Wow, the blondies look good! Thanks for the recipe link.

I used to work at Foster's Market when I was a graduate student at Duke. I love that cookbook--the cakes are GREAT (and huge, and fat-laden), and the strawberry shortcakes are to die for. I don't roll the dough, though--just free-form the biscuits, and you'll get more crispy buttery parts. Mmmm, yum!
(The scones and muffins are all good too--and the Chicken Tarragon salad, and, and, and...)

How wonderful to have the house to yourself! I when that happens around here.

No, I wasn't at the LSU game. You couldn't have paid me to go to a rainy football game, no matter who was playing! We did watch it, though.

All your baking makes me drool!!

Mmmm.... your sweets always look and sound sooo good:)

ohhhh yum blondie's are my fav although I can't seem to make them and have them turn out right. *sigh*

how wonderful to have some time to yourself...alone! In fact I'd have probably spent my free time in just about the same ways that you spent yours! the sweater is coming along great...I like how you know what you like...make it your own! That is so good. I think I need some chocolate chip cookies!

That is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. You have to try the carrot cake; it's the best I've ever made or eaten!

how wonderful to have a weekend to spend time on the activities of your choice with the music of your choice keeping you company! you made some great progress on your sweater!

Don't you love how much you can get done when everyone's away...? I usually get so overwhelmed with the possibilities, I do nothing.

a weekend to yourself? lucky lucky girl!

Gotta love a friend who is not afraid to frog. I'm notorious for ripping. So glad you had such a lovely weekend.

Oooh, one of my most favourite things is when someone takes all the kids out for a bit, leaving me home alone. Bliss! I'm glad you had that time. :o)

"Of course, I flipped straight to the desserts" hehe, that cookbook looks fabulous! Not that I need any more distractions this time of year...
Happy knitting!

so glad you enjoyed your time alone! my husband was gone this weekend leaving me alone with the kiddos - a whole different kind of wonderful! your sweater is coming along beautifully. so glad you ripped it to make it work for you - i find that every time i don't rip something I end up not wearing the finished product. can't wait to see it on you!

I've been a lurker for some time too! Unfortunately, I'm a 'Dores fan. We were glad to see Vanderbilt hold their ground - sort of! My inlaws are LSU grads. We were thinking of roadtripping to the game, but it did not happen this year.

Good thing you had the house to yourself - with no little mice companion. ;) I'm missing my me time to knit. Love the progress you are making!

Baking and knitting - is there anything better?

That sounded like the perfect "quiet weekend to yourself" weekend. A little bit of everything without interuptions. Every once in a while a mother needs one of those. :)

I've been thinking about Apple Pie, too. Hope your sweater knitting goes well!

Ooh apple pie, sounds so autumnal ;-)
Nice that you had some 'me' time this weekend. Your sweater is looking lovely, I love the red. I've finished my Summer's End, I so love a quick knit, it's blocking now and then I'll try to get pics.
Have a great day Leslie

gorgeous stuff... and by the way, mice dislike peppermint so its good to spray it around, and cats are also useful as well as great knitting companions...

A quiet weekend alone sounds like such an amazing treat! You used it well!

ah, bliss. for all the love and excitement that is young feet in delight running across the floors morning and night, how good, too, the silence that is but your breath. refreshed, invigorated, centered within yourself, i know you welcomed them all home with open arms.

i would really like heath toffee bits, too. :)

I actually get giddy when I have the house all to myself. Of course, it's never entirely mine because the dogs are here. But I know the feeling, and it's fun for awhile. The toffee bits sound awesome.

Ribbing = free shaping! :o)

i think weekends like that are very important...it makes you appreciate your regular hectic busy life and also appreciate your family when you get some alone time and a chance to refresh!
