(crickets chirping in the background)

I know it's been kind of quiet on the blog front. I do have some great news though --- I have officially FINISHED one sock!! I have one Kaylee sock finished and I have casted on the mate. I must say I feel so accomplished now especially since I have not completed a single thing since JANUARY!! I'm still working on the camera situation so please bear with me over lack of photos.

Things have been pretty hectic on the home front lately. G's father decided to go out of business resulting in him being out of a job then he was able to get a job with T of the T & L fame. Well they decided to get out of the logging business too. So right now is kind of difficult for us money wise. G's been out of work going on two weeks but not due to lack of looking for a job. He's going to a job fair this Friday and if that doesn't pan out then he is going to get a truck driving job.

I had to go to the doctor a couple of weeks ago due to getting a very bad poison ivy rash from doing my dear husband's laundry when he still worked for the logging outfit. One round of predinisone (spelling?) later and I still have it although not quite as bad. Doctor also put me on a 1500 calorie diet!! Which is not bad except that I have a list of food and can only eat what is on the list --- that stinks. He also wants me to get more active so I have been trying to get a little bit of aerobic exercise in and doing more walking. I still don't know how I am going to figure in that 15 miles a week he wants me to walk.

As far as knitting goes right now on the needles are the following projects:
a. BSJ
b. Swirl socks
c. a lace scarf
d. Kaylee sock mate
e. mitered throw for my husband (design from Creative knitting Nov 2007)
