And I'm Out.

Well Vox, there have been good times, and bad times. Mostly really bad times. So, I'm picking up and leaving all these sorrows behind. Those that are interested can find me at my new shiny domain, KnitsAndWiggles.com - I hope to see you there!

Howl-o-ween.

Paisley and I had a big day today. We went to the Howl-o-ween party in Troy, IL. That was exhausting, and then we came back and sat around a bit.

Next, we headed to Elysha's house to hang out with them, have dinner, and go trick or treating. It was a super good time.

I'm really tired. And we get an extra hour tonight, which makes me even happier than I already am.

Sun!

Today, for the first time in what surely seems like weeks, the sun was shining over St. Louis. The sunset was beautiful on the way home from work. The moon was in the sky, and there were pink clouds. It was an awesome start to what I hope is an awesome evening.

I ran inside after I got home to get my camera so I could shoot away to share, and instead I discovered my battery was dead. Isn't that just the way it goes. :(

It's okay. I have a feeling the rest of the night will go better.

We have another dog event tomorrow! I'm way excited.

QotD: Vacation, All I Ever (Didn't) Want

What's the worst vacation you've ever taken?
Easy. It was to a place that I call "chickens in the street" Mexico. It was to be in a wedding, one for which I hadn't quite realized yet, but I disliked both the bride and the groom. The whole trip was one atrocity after another.
I didn't even get to see the city because we were so busy being pushed to do pointless shit that wasted my money, along with the money of others. And don't even get me started on the maid of honor.
And, it's for that exact reason that I'll never say yes to being a bridesmaid ever again.
Worst. Trip. Ever.

Where is time going?

Somehow, it's only Wednesday night, and yet I feel like time is slipping away faster than ever.

So much to do. So little time. Hopefully I'll be able to write a real blog soon. And tell you all my new happenings in life, but for now, you'll have to stick with these few boring sentences:

Work is going famously
It won't stop raining
I go to a fiber retreat in a week and I'm pumped
Knit night rocked tonight because I got heaps done
The end.

Leaps & Bounds

That was the name of this awesome indoor play place that was near my house as a kid. I always wanted to have a birthday slumber party there, but never did. It went out of business and is a Goodwill / Hancock Fabrics now. Just as cool for me now that I'm an adult, though I wouldn't want to sleep in either one. :)

Yesterday I spent an hour on the elliptical. I paid for that today. To counter act that, I did it again tonight. I will either hurt in a major way tomorrow or feel really great.

I spent the whole day bouncing off my cube walls today.

I don't know what it is, but in the last few weeks all these doors seem to be opening for me, and there are good things behind every single one of them. I am feeling leaps & bounds better. I seem to have all these reasons to be happy, and I'm feeling so appreciated in my walks of life. I have to say, it's taken that appreciation to realize that I wasn't feeling the appreciation in my life before.

Speaking of appreciation, I've also been getting lovely notes and packages in the mail. I totally appreciate everyone who's taking the time to say hi. I'm getting caught up with thank you notes slowly... Please know that you all are making my day with every note and card.

:)

Today was a good day. I slept until noon, played online a bit, then went to meet with some folks about design work. Also went to Target and got my fleece sheets. I'm so totally excited to sleep in them tonight. :)

Here are pictures from the Halloween party last night, and one of my hat from the Knit-a-Thon.
