Key problems and new projects

Apparently my lap is where laptops come to die.  I just noticed that some keys aren’t working which is weird because I rarely ever type more than a few words at a time like when I’m searching on Google or Amazon.  Weird…and annoying.  So if I’m missing an A or D you know why.

I need to work on a few projects like newborn stuff and a cross stitch birth announcement.  Luckily MG and I finished baby Chuck Norris’s room this weekend and I only need to wash all the clothes and linens prior to his arrival.  This give me plenty of time to knit and eat pizza…or ziti.

 

I’m Baaack!

(looks around and see no one is here) *shrug*

Oh the last year and a half has been pretty amazing.  6 months post surgery I decided to start boot camp classes at the gym.  It took about 3 months of butt kicking workouts, lots and lots of crying in pain, hot showers and Advil but I was running over 3 miles by Christmas 2010.  In April 2011 I ran the Cherry Blossom 10 miler as my sweet hubby, FIL and sweet baby girl Gray cheered me on.

I cried like a baby when I reached the finish line and saw my family cheering on the sidelines.  The crying made me run a little faster and stung the sh*t out of my eyes since I was sweating salt by the end but I couldn’t help it.  Happiness was all mine.

A month later (and a few fun runs) MG and I decided it was time to try to give Gray a little brother or sister so we got to work.  It didn’t take long but we’re expecting a little boy in January 2012   Gray is really happy she’s going to have a little brother but I know she’s hoping that the tech’s were wrong and we’re really having a girl. lol

In September Gray started Pre-k and has been loving every minute of it.  She has yet to cry about me leaving her there, in fact in her eyes I should drop her off faster so she and her friends can have fun without me. :\  We also moved out of our townhouse and decided to rent a larger single family home down the street.

Life has been busy post surgery but in a really great way.  The only thing that seems to have taken a backseat in my life these days is my knitting which kind of sucks but now that baby boy (who I lovingly nicknamed baby Chuck Norris) is almost here I’ve decided to make him a baby blanket and some little hats.  The only thing I’ve noticed is that I seem to have forgotten how to knit! Is that possible? Can my skills (they weren’t the best skills but still I knew how to make stuff) just vanish like that???  I may just need to play around a little with different patters, dunno.  But baby Chuck Norris will have a hat! (even if it is a little lop sided)
