To Frog or not to Frog, that is the ????

I had to frog my whole top and am going to start over. I discovered that I had gotten some of the stitches under each other on the needles and ended up knitting them together so I was way short on stitches when I counted them. So back to square one. I am going to lay it aside for now and work on the baby shower stuff. I got the yarn for it yesterday so have started the bonnet for it. The color matches the blanket really well even though it is a different brand and style.

Sometimes I hate offices. We have Tricare Prime and have to get referrals. My husband has a cardiologist appt in February and has been trying to get his referral for almost two weeks. You can only leave a message and don't talk to anyone human so he is getting pretty fed up about it. Unfortunately, our only recourse is to change practices and the only ones available in this area are big ones what would be the same way. GRRRRR! We have never had problems before, but Jack has called them 4 times already. I wonder if the woman is on vacation and they didn't replace her with anyone while she was gone. It is ridiculous, really. It is so easy to do and since he has been going to the same cardiologist for over 3 years, they know he is on the network.

I have the whole layette set finished now. I think it turned out rather well if I do say so myself!

I sent a pic to my sister as that is who I did it for, but as usual, got no response as to whether she like it or not. It is for her stepson and his wife's new baby. I decided to give them the sunsuit too and just make another one for our baby.

I watched this program yesterday afternoon about how rich people spend their money. There is this dry cleaners in Manhattan, NY that caters to the rich. They charge $16 to launder a man's dress shirt, and they were working on cleaning a bridal gown, which was going to cost $50,000 to clean! They said some items can cost as much at $300,000 to clean. Wouldn't it be cheaper to throw it away and buy new???? They also had bullfighting lessons for like $5000 a lesson, yeah let me sign up for that right away. What idiot would want to face a bull after having shelled out about $50,000? It was interesting to see how the very rich waste their money. I saw on AOL recently that the idiot guy who won the largest Powerball ever, something like $381 million is dead broke and owes a casino something like $50,000 in bad checks! In the old days, they would have broke the guys legs or worse. Now, the lawyers fight it out. How do you go through that kind of money? I mean, if he took the quick payout it would have been around $152 million and after taxes he would have gotten around 75 million dollars. I saw a picture of him and he looks like a bowery bum. I know he got robbed several times but the dope used to carry briefcases full of cash with him everywhere he went.

I see it is close to 6:30 so I better get out in the cold and get my walk in. I missed it yesterday not feeling well so I need to be extra special good today!

Have a day everyone!
