It Snowed!

And...I have a migraine...but oh well..it's getting better
Can you believe that I'm still working on Thank-you cards! How nuts is that...people must think me awful...little do they know I become paralyzed with the fear of writing the wrong thing or too much or not enough or looking like a moron. I always thought it was just science papers that were tough to write....but it turns out...everything is tough to write...there goes my career as a famous novelist (no...I wasn't actually planning on that anyways....but what if I had been!)
Anyways...now I feel horribly guilty because I just got a thank-you card from a friend who's wedding was August 5th...and she's got hers out....Ok so I have all the cards out from the wedding...but...I haven't got them out from my family's BBQ that was the last weekend of July.....should be easy....but man...I really suck at this...and now..it's so late...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why do I suck so bad at thank you cards...I am thankful, I was so happy that I got to see everyone, and we were blown away by everyone's generosity, so...why such trouble with the cards! ack! OK, I'm done talking about the cards! F0r today anyways!

I'm almost done the baby dress "Anouk" it's so cute...I just have to do the three needle bind off for the shoulder, and then make the pockets..and block, and sew, and ta-da! So cute for baby girl!!! I can't wait...I'm totally posting a picture when it's done...and I definitely need one with baby in it!!!! but...I'll have to wait about 12 more weeks for that! I'm so excited!

I have another Sophie bag about half done, this one's a light purple. And Harold reminded me again yesterday that I'm still not done my sweater...it's next on the list....trust me....it's freakin cold outside....I want my sweater done!!!

Oh, and the scrapbook for H's mom....nope...not made any more progress on that....perhaps it will end up being a Christmas present...or something like that...ummmm I'm really not very good at scrapbooking...that much is for sure...my stuff is oh so plain...the lady I work with brought hers in to show me...whoa momma...that thing is nice looking...nothing plain about that....I like the 3 dimensionality of hers....lots of raised thingies...makes it really look nice...mine...flat...boring....hmph!

Home for a month

and I hate my hair
So....Now I've been home for a month...I have a job...a low paying job...but something to help pay the bills...so that's good...
I haven't registered for my courses yet because I was too late for September...hopefully everything will work out for January...I really really really really hope everything works out with this whole nursing idea...but who knows...just when I think I've got it figured out...it all goes to crap.
Anyways...still not done my sweater...as Harold reminds me when he sees me working on other stuff....I can't help it....my niece will be here in 15 weeks!!!! 15 weeks....How could I be so selfish as to keep working on a sweater for me...when baby clearly needs sweaters and dresses of her own...hehehehe
yep...I'm good a rationalization
I'm working on Anouk...sooooo cute!!!!!
I'll post a picture!
