Look What I made

Last week I bought a knitting pattern book for making stuffe toys. Look at the little Turtle that I just made. I do still have to put some eyes on it, but I will need to go buy the buttons first. I'm really proud. It's not just another teddy bear. It's another animal with pretty green and brown yarn.

What do you think?

Adoption Update:

I called and left a message with our SW yesterday morning to nail everything down before her last day on Friday. I didn't get a call back, or an e-mail. I guess I really didn't expect that I would. Hopefully, I will hear from her today. If not, I'm going to have to call her supervisor and find out what's going on with our paperwork etc.

Boring Day, but I did a lot if that makes sense?

Today felt pretty boring, but I got alot done. It doesn't make sense, or does it? Here's what I did today.

Got up and ate breakfast, but I realized after I had my toast in the toaster that I had no butter so I had toast with peanut butter instead. I didn't have my normal glass of OJ, because I had heartburn again, ugh. I drank milk instead. I read my e-mail and looked for a job on the job boards. Then, I wrapped up the things I needed to ship today from yesterday's ebay sales. Next, I put highlights in my hair, and while I was waiting for it to be done I loaded the dishwasher. Once I rinsed my hair, I took a bath with my new bath fizz that I got from my birthday.
Once I was dressed, I took the garbage out of the bathroom and kitchen; both of them were over full. I ate my lunch (leftovers- finally the last serving from a few days ago). Then, I washed the dining room floor. After that, I went to the post office and the grocery store. Once I got home I checked my e-mail again and talked to a friend that called. I started watching the Food Network which caused me to get inspired. I decided to bake my lemon cookies and then went on to make jellybean pacifiers. I then sat down and started to knit another teddy bear.
So I really did do alot today, it was all just very boring stuff.

Searching for a Job

The 10 days since I was laid off from work have been quite busy. I usually spend most of the morning on the internet applying for jobs or creating a network on www.linkedin.com. It's amazing the people that are on there from my past jobs. It's a great way to reconnect and network to find jobs.
Jerry suggested it, and I am glad that I joined. There's people from all over the country. Even my penpal Niren joined and he lives in India.

I have also been doing a lot of knitting. I made myself a wool vest and a teddy bear for our new nephew that's due to be born anytime now.
