I found another.

White hair that is.  I can’t believe it.  I thought I would get one and that would be the end of it for another couple of years.  I suppose I’m at the age.  I have to accept that my body is not as young as my mind.  I have some hair die that will fix that right up!

I started working on the little jumper and it’s coming along.  I think it’s quite cute.  I’m not really following the pattern.  The pattern calls for a full P.J. with feet and all.  Patrick will be baptised in late May, early June.  I don’t want him to be too hot.  So, I turned it into shorts.  Then, I didn’t want a plain edge, so I put in a scallop edge.  Then, I wanted them to be able to change his diaper if he did a doo-doo so I put in a button band at the crotch (I would like to take the credit for this idea but, someone on Ravelry had already done it).  I’m about to start the back button band. 

Mind you, when I look at the legs, they look awful long.  They are, however, about 8 c.m. shorter then they called for with the feet (that’s 8 c.m.’s, not 8 inches).  Maybe it’ll be like some capris.  Haha.

I’m pretty confident at this point that I’ll make my deadline.  This little thing has only taken be, so far, less than 10 hours.  When I get into a chart for the top, it might take me longer.  I don’t anticipate spending more than 30 hours on this piece, then maybe 15 on the bonnet.  BUT, I have to find some cute booties to make with this.  I don’t want the poor kid to have cold feet!

I’ve started reading New Moon.  It’s the next book after Twilight, the one I was so obsessed with a few weeks ago.  It’s pretty damn good.  There’s two more after that…  youpi!!!  I have all of them already. 

It’s funny because every time I talk to my little sister, Taylor, about the books, she asks me if I’m at the good part yet?  She’s so funny.  You can tell she’s dying to tell me what’s going to happen but, I always make her stop.  I don’t want to spoil.

Yesterday, in the mail, I got the movie Flowers in the Attic.  Remember that book by V.C. Andrews?  And the movie with all the blond kids?  That’s what I’m doing this weekend!!!  That, and cleaning.  Ugh.  But, either way, I’m totally committed to doing less from now on.  I’m burned out.  I have too much on the go.  My mother (thank goodness for her) suggested I let some things go.  I have to learn to say no apparently, according to Tina (my bestest good friend).  I need to rest, and sleep through the night (I think I should probably clean the house a little).  I’m tired – as evidenced by the dark circles that have taken up permanent residence under my eyes-balls. 

I AM COMMITTED!
