my how time passes...

Well I'm still fighting to keep that silly machine on. (the cpap mask really bothers me and keeps me awake at night -- the irony being that it's supposed to keep me asleep at night!!).


Work is going extremely well, really enjoying it, been loving the discount (which is GENEROUS!) and really been loving teaching the classes.

Last week I had a week off from teaching -- no classes whatsoever. This week I had one Monday night which went really well (cat/dog album), one tonight (scrapbooking basics parts 4 and 9) and one coming up Saturday (scrapbooking basics 5 and 10).

Last Monday (the 12th) Mom taught me how to do the basic crochet stitch. I'm hooked (ha ha look ma i'm punny!). I'm working on a mini blankie for Adelyn -- so Steph can just throw this little blanket in the carseat with her and it won't take up huge bunches of room. Mom's really big into knitting at the moment -- she's got like 4 projects on the go, and when I was over at her house the other day, I saw all four projects out on the table/couch and I commented that all she needs is 6 cats and she's ready for old age! :)

Next week I head off to Texas. Andy is staying here, (his choice). I fly out Friday the 30th. It should be a great time with family -- we're looking forward to all hanging out, and I should be getting to see my cousins on my mom's side as well as my dad's. (the wedding is my dad's youngest son getting married -- so I'll be seeing bunches of Ciarochis at the rehearsal dinner/wedding etc. -- and then I'll be seeing the Kellys afterwards.

We don't know yet what we're going to do for the 4th. Should be interesting. We fly back on Wednesday, which happens to be Dad's birthday!

His best present is that he'll get to have breakfast (and possibly lunch) with his granddaughter, Mia.

I'm looking forward to seeing the lil stinker too.
