Today is my nephew’s 4th birthday and as always I am really bummed that I can’t squeeze his cute little face today. How is he four already?? We got to talk on the phone this morning though and he told me about the shirt that I sent him in the mail (which he is already wearing in the picture!) and the inline skates that he got for his birthday. My Mom also made one of her awesome birthday cakes for him (pirate-themed – as requested. Ha!).

I had a appointment with a dermatologist this morning to finally get a skin cancer screening. I have a lot of moles and hadn’t gotten them checked out in a while. Luckily, it was all good news. None of my moles looks malignant. I am so relieved. I’ve been really good with using sunscreen (since I am very fair skinned and burn easily anyway) and I have always kept an eye on my moles myself, but it’s good to get a professional checkup on a regular basis.

Tomorrow I have a little girl date planned with my neighbor-friend. We’ll go thrifting and then to brunch. I am really looking forward to it.

Knitters, I need some advice! What are your favorite needles? I am planning to invest into a interchangeable needle set and I don’t know which one to go with. Cubics? Bamboo needles? Karbonz? Which ones are your favorites and why? Can you recommend any?

I am happy to report that my Dad (who was in the hospital for 1,5 weeks with a prostate infection) is back home and recovering well. He’ll have to have some minor surgery because his prostate is enlarged (not uncommon for man 50+), but it’s benign and something that can be taken care of. Phew. Thank you for sending positive vibes and keeping him in your thoughts.

Happy Pi Day (3/14)! I celebrated with ice-cream. Because that is just how I roll.
