Finally!!

Ok. Let's start out with the usual apologies. Blah, blah, blah. There, done.

Only one finished project to speak of. I completed the custom shrug from S.W.A.K. and it looks great. Pics later. Plenty of yarn left over and it fits great. There is another project that I am half way done with, but I can't talk about it because it's a gift and I think she MIGHT read this blog. I'll be able to share it sometime in May. I think it looks really good and it's been easy.

I have a total of three burial buntings done for the charity knitting project for the Knitting Guild. I was looking at my calander and I will not be able to attend a Guild meeting until August. Work - blah, blah, blah. I guess I will just keep making the buntings and give them in bulk at the meeting in August. I should have plenty done by then.

I was sick last weekend and had to miss two days of work. It was just the usual sinusitis and pharyngitis. I've had it 3 times this year already. This time I was on about 1700 mg of antibiotics per day. You'd think that would kill anything. I think it's because of the crazy weather and the trees spores have been up in the "very high" category lately and I think that really messes with my system. Also the girl I've been precepting at work has had a sore throat for a really long time and I think we just keep passing it back and forth to one another. No knitting was happening when I was sick - which made for a very non-productive sickness (but only in the areas of knitting - I had PLENTY of snot production). I honestly want to know where all of that is stored. My sinuses sure were packed with the stuff. I can blow my nose one time and then have to follow it with 5 more blows because out of nowhere here comes more snot. I'll never understand it. Still pretty stuffy, but slowly I'm getting over it.

In the reading department, I have finished 3 books. They are: Jarhead, Night, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Jarhead was okay. I'm glad I'm done reading it. It was really confusing at times just trying to figure out what and where he was talking about. I thought the book should have had certain chapters in a different order, but Hubby explained that while he was over there these were the things he thought about in that particular order. Night was a very good book and I suggest everyone read it. It is written by Elie Wiesel and is a true story about his time in the Concentration Camps when he was in his teens. A very poignant book and well worth the read. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator was a "just for fun" read. I needed something easy and light after the other two "heavy" books. It was a great book. The first part of the book was easy to recognize because there have been two movies made about it. However, the second half, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, was a little weird. I'll leave it at that.

I am currently reading Thirst by Dania Deschamps. She is an Oklahoma author and I love to read books by people from here. Full Circle Bookstore has a great section on Oklahoma authors. The book is a murdery/mystery and it is great. I'm anxious to find out who the killer really is.

We had a total of 262 babies in the month of March. We broke our July record of 245. I think we are also on our way to breaking the record for April. I'm glad everyone was having so much fun 9 months ago!! LOL

I think I've summed up everything I've done. I'll try to get pics of the shrug posted soon.

'Til next time!
