Summer...What Summer?

I can't believe it's almost September! I started a list of all the other things I wanted to blog about, and promptly got busy, then distracted and finally lost my list.

Since last I blogged...we went camping a second time (disaster!) saw more movies (see Stardust!), started taking dance lessons (fun!), I made a story time wiki (missangela.wetpaint.com!) and I managed to herd cats (I mean program proposals) for WLA...and all the other things that were on my list to blog about.

In the wonderful world of knitting, I finished the DH's (dear husband's) first sock months ago- and then got distracted by a baby gift. It was a close call but I managed a lovely blanket in seed stitch with a contrasting boarder AND a monogrammed letter. I was quite pleased with the result. Less pleased with being up until 2am the day of the shower to finish the main knitting, and then up at 9am to sew all the ends in. But I did it! And it was good. I casted on DH's second sock last week, and will seriously start working on it tomorrow.

I have a ton of neat knitting books on my shelf right now, but I haven't looked too closely for fear of being distracted again. If only my cats weren't so helpful when I knit...

Speaking of the fur babies, my latest excitement has been the purchase of a new cat tree. After MUCH looking around (read 2 years of searching), I decided to invest in a Stairway to Kitty Heaven set plus a few extra pieces so I can also create a Cat Hotel. I will be blogging extensively on this once it's arrived, up and tested. Until then, check out the site so you too can lust over cat furniture!
