House training the house

This is mainly for my own information

Day 0//Day 1 - Lily was 'forced' into the rest of the house yesterday. Her food was placed on the shelves in the kitchen, her box was placed in the corner of the dining room, and all doors to the bedrooms and bathrooms were closed. She has hidden under the sink, but a box of soda cans keeps her from getting in there now. She's doing ok-ish. She growls at everything not a human, but no swatting or anything.

Dakota was crated last night for the first time. She did much better than expected. She barked as we went to bed, because my keys jangled. she also barked for about five minutes twice last night. today is her first day on the leash in the house, to keep her from pooping where we can't see her. we'll see how that goes.

I suck at blogging: Part two

So, it's pretty obvious I suck at blogging. I have had quite a bit of free time, so I'm working on some projects. (pics soon)

I'm rewriting the pattern for the Miralda Shawl out of "Knitted Lace of Estonia" to be a square all the way around, for a baby blanket.

I'm trying to find the internal fortitude to finish the damn February Lady Sweater. I had to unravel the bottom border on the body, and I'm knitting it to be longer. It's taking my soul with it.

I am sanding the old finish and stain off of a rocking chair for my sister, I'll be refinishing it for her as well. It's a surprise.

New Title

Well, I've renamed this bastard of a journal, and eventually I'll actually get around to posting in it!

I guess a bit about myself is in order:
I am 27 years old, and no longer unemployed. I work with my dad, doing construction. We build stuff, and we also tear stuff down. I really enjoy the work. I spend a great deal of my spare time with my boyfriend. I love to cook, sew, play computer games, work on my car, read, listen to many different types of music, and knit. Especially lace. This amuses friends and family, that I spend all day in a construction site, and knit delicate lace as a hobby.

A new day, new stuff to do. Have to get knitting, have to fix my car, have to find a new job.

Wow, it's been alittle bit of time.. i suck.

Sudoku

Ok, I know the March Of Dimes Sudoku is wonky, but if you really want to play, right click on the blue part, and select "open frame in new tab" or "open frame in new window". then play to your hearts content.

Babies

I've joined the march of Dimes to help raise money for premature babies I'm hoping to raise $1000. I can never bring back Christopher, but I can help someone else not have to make the choice my sister had to make.
