So, what has been happening, anyway? I'm working, working, working ... and when I'm not working, I'm trying to catch up at home. I'll go from most recent (what I remember best) to maybe what else has happened that is somewhat significant in the past month.

Work is going pretty good. My boss appreciates me, so I guess that is good, but it also means I get additional duties and sometimes run into issues of not enough hours to complete the tasks assigned. O-well.

Horses are doing pretty good. Took Rain out on her first trail ride yesterday. All in all, she did well. I need to relax & realize that she's just incredibly heavy on the front & to let her have her head going downhill until she finds her balance points. She only boogered once, when someone was riding up behind her. Good group of guys to ride with though. I want to get out and ride more regularly.

Nora & Emily are doing well. Nora is still beginning potty training. She'll tell us when she's pooped, most of the time. She'll also  pee-pee in the potty before baths. Every now & then she'll tell us she wants to go to the potty & makes it before going in her diaper. Emily's enjoying kindergarten. Her first quarter report card came back good. Almost all at above expectations, only one thing to work on right now. Handwriting will not be so hot next quarter, she just doesn't want to do it correctly.

Hmmm ... knitting wise, what have I been doing? Mystery Stole has fallen by the wayside. I'm not even sure where it is at the moment. I finished a dishcloth from the Monthly Dishcloth KAL. It was a squirrel. If you hold your head just right & squint, I can kind of see it. I think my gauge was a bit off, so it didn't show up so well. I'm working on finishing the Diamond Beaded Bag from One Skein Wonders. The bag part is done, I'm working on the straps. It's hard to sit down & knit 6 stitches back and forth for 36" or so. I'm thinking about just picking up from the other side & knotting the straps, or grafting. We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll work on it a bit more tonight.

I have done a bit of sewing too. I made myself a new scrub top. Made the pattern & everything. It turned out pretty well. I'll make a few more modifications next time. I got more fabric for scrubs, so I can work on my pattern until I get it Juuust right.

I think that's about all for now, bath time here. Maybe that will hold me for the next month.
