Consistency?

Ok so maybe I'm not very good at this whole consistency thing, but I'm going to try. I had a pretty good day today. I wasn't thrilled with having to drive to Kirkland, but the fact that I really like Joseph's neurologist made it better. He told a great story about being the Dr. on set for a John Wayne movie and even had a small part in the movie. Other than that, he said that Joseph just has to keep taking the medicine until he hits the magic dosage (which is the same thing I've been telling him). Then went to Alderwood, had a great meal at PF Changs (which I've been craving for months), and got to hang out with a friend and her very cute kids. I have to say that all you moms out there who brave the mall with your kids have my full respect for your endurance. I picked up a new cuddly friend at the mall...

So cute I couldn't resist. It also makes a wolf whistle noise which we've been trying to teach to Ember. So maybe she'll learn from it. So after the very busy day I'm content but feeling worn out. Hoping to maybe hit the sale at the Ben Franklin store tomorrow night, we'll see how everyone feels. I guess that's all for now.

Peace & Quiet?

I think I may have voluntarily given up peace and quiet when I brought home the zoo. Between the stupid dog barking at the stupid dogs next door and the bird demanding her (un)fair share of attention at the top of her lungs, I'm amazed I haven't completely lost my mind yet. I'm also amazed I manage to get anything done. However, I did manage to make a good start on the July loom along project for one of the Ravelry groups I've joined. It is a rib stitched wash cloth made on one of the Knifty Knitter long looms. I will post pictures when I've gotten it done, whenever that will be. I'm also very excited about the drop spindle that will hopefully come this week from California. I've read that spinning can be quite soothing and relaxing, both of which I could use a bit more of in my life. We shall see. Who knows maybe this will be my Christmas in July week and I will get all of the things that I ordered off of Ebay. I could use a little Christmas joy, even if it is only short lived.

I love my bird, but there are days...

Bed Time

I think I got lost somewhere between working on the banner for the title and working on the layout and looking at all the pretty stuff on ravelry and etsy so this is not really much of a post. It is up, though, and we shall see how it goes.

Definately sleepy time
