Well, it is COLD here, over the weekend the highs were in the teens. I made a lot of progress on my felted tote and it was nice to have it resting in my lap warming me up a bit while I knit. Oh and my i-cord bind-off looks GREAT thanks to help from Kathy's sister at our knitting get-together a few weeks ago!
I had to put the monkey bag on hold, first try on the intarsia was a mini disaster! I had holes (must twist!), the yarns all got tangled and it puckered because I carried the yarn too tightly. So I had to take a break. I'm debating doing the monkey with double stitch instead and saving the intarsia for after.
Recently I went to an Oprah taping! It was such a great experience, she is well-spoken and intelligent. The topic was health and Dr. Oz was the guest. I already have his book so I was really excited to see him in person!
Speaking of books I have now read TWO books in 2006! I picked up The 5th Horseman by James Patterson last week and finished it in a couple of days. It was a good quick read!

Sooooo tiiiiiiiiired...................
Well, tonight I am going to meet some fellow knitters at my friend Kathy's house. Apparently she has a knitting group. I'm looking forward to it since I really don't know anybody who knits except for my sister. Kathy's sister is an excellent knitter and she's going to help me with the I-cord bind-off for my felted bag. I still can't figure it out despite posting for help on KR. I think I need to see it for myself.
I started on Bronty last night while I finished up LOTR: The Return of the King. He is so cute and Zach is going to love him! I'm glad I finally finished the LOTR trilogy. I wasn't too thrilled with the first two but RotK made it all worthwhile, it was incredible!
I am REALLY exhausted today. Kyra was up in the night with tooth pain and finally I took her into the guest bedroom and laid down with her. She is a crazy sleeper, moving all over the place. And a few times she woke up ready to play - at one point I awoke to her blowing on my face! So after Zach goes to school it will be naptime for K and me. I better set an alarm so I don't miss picking Zach up.
Just 9 days left til my moms' group has their big fundraiser of the year. The group raises money for our community - schools, the library and families in need. We have an auction every year to raise money and I'm on the committee that organizes it. I'm still trying to get donations from a few businesses but it's frustrating. I wish some people would just call back and decline instead of not returning my calls.
