Knitting news...

I am allmost done with the first sleeve for Rogue, hope to finish it this weekend. I need to reknit some of the hood, it did not turn out right. But will do that when I finished the sleeves.
Other projects that are in the near future, I am going to knit this Shawl for my mom, ordered the book and the yarn this week.
I am also going to knit Eris, from the same designer as Rogue. This is a christmas present for a friend of mine. And Ribby for another friend of mine also for Christmas, I just hope I can finish all these in time. Cause I am also working on some scrap books for my sis and my mom.

Nothing like...

having the stomach bug. Uggh, I have whatever Lars had. The kids are feeling fine, but yesterday after picking Lars up from preschool, I started getting sick. I haven't felt this bad in a long time. And worst of all my hubby is out of town till later tonight. Thank god for great neighbors. He got me some sprite, brought Anika from the bus and this morning she came and got Anika to take her to the bus. Lars slept till 8am, so I kind of got to sleep in. On the positive now, I lost weight, cause I wasn't a good girl this week, maybe this is my punishment?
Anyways, it's seems to be 24hrs so I should be better tomorrow.

What a Day...

we had, it started all last night, when Lars decided to get the same stomach bug my neighbor had, and started to puke all over. We got that cleaned up and had a bowl handy sitting with him. He did really well after that, trying to get to the bowl. By 10pm he finally was tired enough and all puked out, and fell asleep. Anika on the other hand woke at 10:30 coughing so hard that she got herself sick, she made it to the bathroom. She sounded all congested.
Well this morning off she went to school, and seemed fine. Lars has been keeping down his food, but pretty much just laid arround all day. Then Anika got home from school, all happy cause she didn't move her clothes pin. We played a game and suddenly she said, I am going to lay down. I checked on her like 15mins. Later, she was asleep and burning up. Ugggh, I don't like this. So I woke her after about 1.5hrs and sure enough she still felt hot.
So we hope she will feel better later tonight.

today...

I weighed in you can see on the ticker. I am doing good. This coming week I'll be walking again, after I drop my kiddo off at the bus.
We had a week, Anika started Kindergarten. She likes it, that first day I was a wreck, I had a good cry walking to the car after I dropped her off. I was a just blubbering. She loves taking the bus.
On the knitting front, I started the first sleeve for Rogue, and it looks nice, I have to reknit parts of the hood, cause it doesn't look right, but I will do that last. That's it from here right now.

bloogin' learing new skills...

I just figured out how to add links to my side bar. How cool, now people can also visit my friends blogs and see what i like.

Rogue Updadte...

Here is a long overdue update on Rogue. Well I started the hood yesterday. After I had some trouble with the cables in the front, but it ws my fault, didn't read the chart right 4 times in a row. Oh well, but now that I am back on track it is coming along nicely, love how the cables are turning out and the wool of the Andes from knitpicks is working great. Here is another picture of more detail on the hood. I hope to finish the hood this weekend. It will definetly be done for Christmas for my sister.

struggle with weight...

well I havent' done well lately. my weight went all the way back to 247 but last week I took it upon me and started to drink my water again, have healthy snacks and not eat inbetween.




is the result.

Shindigs, Birthdays and stuff...

So Dh and I are huge fans of the cancelled show Firefly that is coming to us in a movie called Serenity this september. So last weekend we had a fan gathering, which was great, a shout out to all the Texas Browncoats. I havent' had so much fun in a while.
Then Monday was my birthday, we went to SeaWorld cause we had Raintickets from Last year. The kids had a blast and so did I. It was a great birthday. Anika love the SeaLions the best and so did I. Feeding the Dolphins was great too. After SeaWorld we went to Chilli's for Dinner, got a free Molten Chocolate cake cause Anika mentioned that it was my birthday. That was pretty cool.

On the knitting front, I picked up Rogue yesterday again and it goes. I am working on the front now, it's difficult but I can do it. I hope to knit some more after I bring the cats to the vet today and knit on it while I watch Firefly.
Other than that not much going on right now, well I need to find a certain color of Cascade yarn so I can knit more Ugly hats. But that's about it.
