Well, I've been a busy little bee; with work, play, and all that jazz, this is the first time I've taken to update my blog. Of course, this comes at the prodding of Stephanie.

I am almost done with my king sized quilt. I cut the binding and sewed it on. All I have left to do is finish sewing the binding into place - long story short, though, I am learning I need to take a class in hand sewing. In the meantime, I am going to pay someone to finish it for me. I've spent a ton of time and money in my quilt, and I'm not about to ruin it by not being able to finish it right.

I have picked up knitting - yea, like I need something else to do with my time. I find it relaxing to a degree because I can take it with me to anyone's house and be able to do it there. Can't really do that with my sewing anymore, and scrapbooking is all good and fun when there's a crop, but haven't had one of those yet.

As for my job, I'm getting my feet under me. We had a day from HE double hockey sticks on Friday. I survived, but let's just say I came home and had a glass of wine. I like my job and the people I work with. I still hate working 5 days a week, but I hope to either get used to it, or something else better will come down the line. Most Utah hospitals won't hire new people for day shift - there is this whole pay your dues thing by working night shift and then earning your seniority up to day shift. So unless that changes any time soon, I'll probably be stuck working 5 days a week.

Mike & I finished hanging pictures in my apartment today. Audrey Hepbrun looks fabulous on my living room wall! I also bought a lamp for the living room as the light from the ceiling fan was very poor. We found out today that the bulbs in there were only 40 watt! Yea, let's just say that we replaced those with some 60 watt. That along with the new lamp, which is lovely by the way - thank you World Market - I can actually do crafts in my living room while watching tv now.

Speaking of TV, I don't really have it. I cannot get satellite, and I don't want cable. I hear horror stories from people about cable. So, I just watch movies on my computer. It's really nice because I've invested in my computer and sound system. It'll do until I buy a house. Yes, I'm planning on buying a house. I'm thinking next spring. Yea, Mike and I have talked about location and what we'd like it to look like. It is and will remain interesting.

The cats are doing well. They are acting a bit silly - hiding under the futon. I'm not exactly sure why, but there you have it.

I've enjoyed the latest snow storm. The mountains look BEAUTIFUL!!!!! *sigh*

Well, that about catches you up to my adventures thus far. Hope you have a great day.
HUGS!!!!!
