More exciting news

I may have mentioned earlier, in passing, that we were house-hunting. Well, we bought a house last week! It's a 1961 tri-level, ~1700 sq.ft., 4br, 2ba, positively a baby compared with Mafia's turn-of-the-century home, but I'm not really in a condition to be ripping out walls. ;) We are, however, repainting the master bedroom, which was a sort of butterscotch orange that clashed with everything we own. Now it has three purple walls and one blue and looks totally awesome. I'll miss my little knitting room, but there's plenty of space for all of my craft stuff, and I have plans to organize it a little better once I can afford some shelving. We're moving in next week!

The other piece of exciting news is that I had a big ultrasound on Monday, and after about half an hour of measuring and poking and prodding, the baby finally uncrossed its legs and... it's a BOY! We're delighted, and he looks to be healthy and doing just fine in there. I have visions of knitting all kinds of cute little Aran sweaters, which will probably never happen, but fortunately L.L. Bean is there to provide adorable intarsia things for me.

And now, a question: if I have been sent home because we're having an enormous blizzard, and because I am "non-essential personnel," should I try to do some work at home, or just give it up and knit all afternoon?
