blah blah BLOG: Olson Wednesday

Guess what, no WIP wednesday this week. Firstly because I forgot, and also because to be a WIP, I'd have had to actually *worked* on something. That's only a half-truth because I did cast on another project but I'm going to keep it a secret from my blog until I decide/find out who it's going to be for and whether it's actually going to turn out how I think or not.

Instead I left work 2 hours early and headed north to visit my family. It was my Grandpa's birthday yesterday, and coincidentally my Aunt is in town from Washington, so we had a picnic. Devin got his picture taken by my cousin Rachael and she got some cute ones! Also, my little sister got a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and I got to drive it from the picnic to my brother's new apartment. I'm pretty jealous, but I also think my car still has more options. I like the blue-tooth thing in there though!

So, here's some pictures from our picnic. Also, I noticed as I was posting them on facebook that I don't have one picture of Rach..? Mostly Devin & my sisters, weird.

Little boy with Uncle Josh.
He reminds me sooo much of baby Josh.

Sis & Dad

This is my favorite of the evening, even though Dev is looking the wrong way!

And yes, those are my new glasses. Finally! They gave me 20% back, of the price I paid out of pocket, not the total with inurance. So that was nice.

One last thing. I DID produce something this week. I'm having issues with my sewing maching, I knew I shoulda read the owner's manual before I touched it at all! I think I'm figuring out the problem(s), for example, I didn't know you need a ball point needle I'll get it, very slowly. I think there's still hope for me and my sewing machine.
