I've been knitting. I'm making good progress on the brown shawl. I decided that the little hole wasn't that big of a deal. Apparently it's not so hard to count to 4 when you're not taking pain killers. I took that with me when I was at the hospital last Wednesday for a test. I had several hours of waiting. I'm even able to work on my socks. I'm 75% done with the 2nd of my Spring Forward socks. I took those to the lab while I waited for a blood draw and to the bank while I waited to set up an IRA. I'm so encouraged by my progress that I'm going to pull out my Hoodie (I'm close to putting the pieces together and starting the hood). I've got an Ishbel that's already to the lace too. Yeah for some fun knitting. And yeah that I'm able to knit.
I came home from a Mary Kay meeting with 5 bottles of salad dressing. My director's DIL works for Bolthouse Farms and had tons of their yogurt based dressing to give away.
Yesterday, Marie Grace of Marie Grace Designs emailed me and I won the Summer 2010 issue of Living Crafts.
It's June. I actually love June gloom. I enjoy the 'marine layer' that keeps our mornings cool and allows for drinking lots of hot coffee. I enjoy that it heats up in the afternoon. It's not blistering like in August, and it cools off again in the evenings. I think June has perfect weather.
I have 800 Swagbucks. I earned 25 swagbucks for one of my searches today. Usually it's more like 6. It's slow, but I think I might just be able to buy each kid a gift by Christmas...and just because I use something other than google. If you'd like to sign up too, I can get bonus bucks for your searches. See the widget at the bottom of my page.
I'll keep it little at the bottom here, but I'm kindof sad (ok a lot sad) that M didn't get the job he interviewed for. Ok...my heart knows that this probably wouldn't have been the best fit for our family. I'm just so ready to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

OHHHHHH, I'm so sorry about the job that Mike was trying for.
Not to sound trite, but "When God closes a door, he opens a window."
(((hugs))) and hang in there. I promise you it will get better.
Can we trade June's? lol Ours is miserably humid and hot, hot, hot.
Keeping y'all in my prayers.
:( on no... that sucks. But you're right - it wouldn't have been right. If it had been, you'd be popping the champagne.
Sounds like you are making good progress on knitting though... I so want to teach mom so she has something to do on her long days of chemo. It makes waiting rooms so much more productive.
Enjoy your cool mornings and evenings. I could go for some of those!
Sorry to hear about the job. Hopefully the door is opening that God wants him to take.
I'm really sorry that the job searching isn't over for you all. You are being so brave through this!
Prayers going up for you lady. Hang in there!
