I CAN'T SLEEP!!!!

This sucks. I don't get insomnia very often, but when I do, I only sleep a couple hours. Maybe. I just can't seem to shut the mind down and relax. Thank goodness I don't have to work tomorrow.

I can give you updates though. I have started the decreases on the baby blanket I am making.










I see a corner!











I do have a few more rows done. This is for my nursing student friend. She is due in June. But babys don't always follow the doctor's schedule. I hope that the baby can wait until AFTER her final on Monday!

I like the blanket, but I really, really don't like garter stitch. I thought to myself when I was planning this blanket, I don't like garter stitch but this won't be that bad! I probably would have had this blanket done a long time ago if I had done another pattern, one that kept my attention better. It makes for really good movie knitting.

Katie. Katie went to the vet and got a clean bill of health. That night she started to cough. And the next night. R took her back to the vet on Saturday. She has kennel cough. Got the pills and cough syrup. She likes the syrup, I think it smells like meat, maybe that is why. She is coughing less now, so we can get some sleep. Well they can.

Ordered some yarn from the Loopy Ewe. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow, well today. I haven't ordered from them before, so I am excited about that! I hear that they have good service and excellent products. I signed up for the Summer of socks2007. You can find it here. I signed up for the design contest. One of the requirements was to order the yarn from one of the sponsors, and Loopy Ewe was a sponsor! I am so excited; I haven’t ever designed a knitting pattern before.

I am sending out a treat box to my sock4 pal later today. I guess that would make her a treatee? Sounds good to me. I hope that she likes it, I have been blog stalking her for some ideas.


I found out today that I was accepted into the LPN program at our local college. I have two semesters of Nursing school done, so I was able to apply.

I go and pay for that tomorrow. It is going to feel weird going back to school, as I have had a whole semester off. It has been a really nice break.


I have to (well, I don't have to but it needs to be done eventually) take my Bronco into the shop for some work. Nothing major major, just a bunch of little things. I take her in on Monday. I like the place I go and they have decent prices, they just take forever. So I probably won't get her back until next Thursday. That is ok though, because then she will be more fixed than before. I need her to do a 1,000 mile trip in about 2 days and then back home a few weeks later. So, she is going to the shop. They quoted me about $900.00 for all the work I am asking for. I was excepting a higher price. Now, if they can just stay within that price.


Well, I am going to knit some and then try to go to sleep. I really don't like taking Benadryl even though it works for me. I am groggy the whole next day if I take it this late at night. Ah well, I guess could try meditation some more, but it just hasn't been working well lately.


I leave you with pictures of Katie.

Good night and sweet dreams to all.
