As usual its been a while

IIIIIIIII'm Baaaaaaaack! Things have been crazy busy as usual. I am teaching more, Evie is growing up so fast and life is moving along. So what is new with me? I have been working out like a fiend and watching those calories and since March I have lost 20lbs. Pretty awesome. It was one of those things that I have wanted to do for a while and now that I am not breastfeeding etc. I was able to focus on it. I hope to keep it off too (with the exception of another pregnancy of course).

As far as knitting goes. I have been knitting like crazy. I am working on the Beagle sweater by Norah Gaughan and an afghan for a friend. I hope to see her this Christmas so I can give it to her (hopefully it will be done by then...). The sweater is for my step-father who really enjoys my knitting. I also have about a million projects I would like to cast on but I am working on using stash I have now and trying not to accumulate more yarn for now. Its going well so far. I have a swap I am in now that I need to buy yarn for (hopefully tomorrow after toddler tales). I have dreams of doing lots of knitting for Christmas but I need to be realistic and realize I am not that fast of a knitter.

I was in Sock Sniper this year which was fun and I hope to be in it again next year. I usually do Sock Wars but apparently that is no longer going on. I wish I would have survived longer than getting one shot fired (I sent off 3 in the last sock wars). Unfortunately thats not how it worked out though. It was fun. My sniper sent me sheep shaped soap, sparkly halloween stickers for evie and some nice socks.

Anyway I think thats enough rambling for this post. Off to get ready for work....
