Ready for the weekend!

Lots happened today!  I went to court this morning and as it turns out, I owe no back alimony and won't have to pay anymore from here on out!  WOOT!  I got out of court, went to work for a bit and watched the kidlings from the daycare downstairs parade through, came home, put on a suit and went to a job interview.  The interview went pretty well, but I didn't walk out of there thinking I had nailed it.  It's hard to say though.  I will definitely need to bone up on my technical network and troubleshooting skills in case I get called for a second interview.  This weekend is just going to be a chill weekend, but I am very ready for it for sure!

Nice day for a jog...

I decided that I would work from home today and that afforded me the opportunity to take a run this morning.  I didn't run very far, but I did run some, and thats a start!    

News from Nathan

Nathan and Bre are doing well in China.  They have gotten a language tutor and are making their way around pretty well he says.  Eating in restaraunts is tricky he says, but picture menus help!  The teaching is also going well and they are enjoying it.  The did put in an order for hats as winter is coming on over there...



A hat for me...

Today I started a hat for me.  I have had some really nice verigated yarn that Sandy got for me and today I started a simple, straight knit hat for myself with it.  No colorwork, which is unusual for one of my hats, no ribbing, no texture, just a straight knit hat with some slubby yarn! Here is the Fractal Hat (a Mandelbrot Set) that I knit and ended up with Rory.

Ping Pong?

Over the past year, my ping pong game has improved, well not quite dramatically, but it has improved!  I beat Sandy 2 out of 10 games on Saturday!  Now that may not seem like a huge deal but trust me, playing her in ping pong is like playing a ninja!  Holy smokes!  I have to say too that in those games I did lose, I lost by not very much!  After ping pong on Saturday, we walked around Discovery Park for a while which was nice.  A pretty chill weekend overall.

True confessions of a knitter...

Ahhh, its finally Friday!  This has been a wierd week and I am glad it is over.  Gonna start a new hat...last night I gave Rory his "fractal hat"...the most complicated hat I have ever knit, as the pattern was self-made and every row was different...not like most where you get to zone out and knit!  The pattern on the hat repeated itself every 17 stiches to make a mandelbrot set 5 times around the hat.  The confession?   I actually gave it to Sandy a while back (hey she's got pull!), and knitted him another less complicated hat, but when she saw that one she wanted it instead so I washed and blocked the fractal hat and presented it as new...I know, I know...but it's not like he will ever know...point is, I wanted him to have something from me before he left town, and it worked out well for everyone. WOOT!  It's Friday!
