Happy Easter everyone.

I will be heading off to get my oldest soon then we are going to hit church tonight to maybe beat the crowds. Tomorrow we are going to the mother in-laws for Easter dinner.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter

Relieved but sorta sad

I am relieved that the test was negative, It did say that I should retake the test in 7 days to confirm that it is a true negative. I am sorta sad because the more I thought about having another baby I was not totally opposed to it.

Now I need to find out why I am almost two months late. Is there something wrong or is it just the major change in my activity level. So I think I will be making an appointment to the doctor to make sure all is well.

I am so excited

I know I have told a lot of you some of this, but here I go anyway. Since September (the start of my new job) I have going down 4 sizes in clothes. Now I finally jumped on the scale and found out that I have lost 20 pounds. To further this wonderful weight loss Rick and I just joined Golds Gym. I plan to work on losing more weight, strengthening my arms (this will help with my job), getting rid of the tire around my lower middle, and to get a butt (sitting on it for 16 years at a desk has made it pretty flat).

I hope to be down at least 2 more sizes by the time Alley gets married.

surgery update

Nick's surgery went well, It was suppose to take 3 hour and only took about 1 hour 45 minute. So far he is not in much pain to the point that he has only had one pain med. He should be home tomorrow, unless something changes. Thank to everyone thinking about him.

Surgery day

Well we are waiting to go to the hospital for Nicks surgery. As I expected Nick is really nervous. The surgery start about 1 pm and last about 3 hours. So we are going to have a very long day of waiting in store for us. We have to leave in a few minute need to be there by 11.

Thats all for now.

Its been so long

I went to the doctor yesterday as a recheck for being in the hosptial on the 19th with chest pain. The doctor wants me to continue with the meds for another week to see if it is helping. He thinks the chest pain is stress so I need to learn breathing and relaxation techinques. If the pain continues then we will look at other option. So for now I am to try to lower the stress in my life. Like that is possible.


On the knitting front. I have finished the puppy hat and will post pics later, I made the small hat and it is alittle snug but will fit for this year. I started a pair of Monkey socks from Ry. I have one done I need to cast on the second one today. for the pattern I just removed one of the pattern repeats on size 1 needles. They are a perfect fit. After I finish the socks I am going to make Ry a pair of mittens Pink with the bones on them to match the hat.

Its been a long time.

Sorry that it has been so long since I last posted. There is not much new on this end. I continue to look for a new full time job. I have talked to my second part time job about a management position, but with the fact that I have not been there very long I do not think that it will happen any time soon.

On the knitting front I have have been working on market bags, dish clothes and sock. The yarn I have been using for the socks is amazingly soft it is On your toes bamboo. I love the feeling of it as I knit especially after spending hours working with kitchen cotton.

A friend from my knitting group has challanged all of us to enter a project into the Minnesota State Fair next year. I have been spending some time thinking about what I might want to make. I was thinking if I could get the yarn soon maybe I would try to get the spider web shawl done. Or I might try to make a sweater for Ry. All I know is that I want to make something that will challenge me but not send me over the top with frustration.

On Saturday we will be celebrating Ry's 2nd Birth with family. She is 2 today. It is so hard to believe that she has been around for two years. I remember a time when someone told me that my daughter should give her up for adoption. I am so blessed taht Al did not do that as Ry has been the best thing that has happened to our family in a long time.
Happy Birthday Ry
