New hat!

My first beautiful hat came from TX yesterday! It is a pattern that I picked out on the internet (www.ravelry.com) and then LD donated some beautiful silk/wool yarn in a melange of dark royal blue, green and purples. I'll post a picture of it later. It fits like a glove!

Right now we are hosting a sleepover birthday for #1 who turned 15 yesterday. Thankfully it is only three girls plus ours. I had to get up at 2:15 am to stop the cacophony with verbal threats. Needless to say, I'll be able to get back on the computer by 8 pm tonight! They are playing the new Nancy Drew computer game here...so I had to beg on for five minutes.

Overall, I feel great! My energy is good and my stomach is better now that I stopped over-doctoring it. I slipped and fell at the barn yesterday on the frosted edge of the steps. My left arm saved me from crashing my face into the stoop and today the back of the arm is a little sore. But, it worked. I am being more diligent about stretching the arm overhead without bending the elbow to try to get rid of some cording there. Other than that, I only have pain when I try to stretch way out with my left arm, like reaching out the car window to the bank drawer at the drivethrough.

My tongue seems like it is burned at the tip, so I got some recommended mouthwash that kills bacteria and has calcium. Hopefully it is not the beginning of any mouthsores. We'll see. Thanksgiving dinner was great. #2 has gotten over her flu thing after being gone for three days. And we watched Get Smart last night. Very funny.

Well, chaos is taking over downstairs as they wait for me to step aside...
