saturday outing

i made it out for my saturday outing. it's the 1st time i've been out of the house since my gallbladder surgery this past tuesday. i hung out at my lys-in stitches and caught up with mrs. barbara. she said there were only 3 people at stitch night this past tuesday. aiken county started back to school on monday so that might explain why some folks didn't show up. (btw - donna, next stitch night is september 18th. i plan to be there and i hope you'll be able to make it as well!)

i told her i would have been there except i had surgery. i did try to be there in spirit and knit in the hospital. i only managed 4 rows before i called it quits. i was afraid i would mess up and have to start back over.

i'm one of those who has a hard time recovering when i make a big boo-boo. i get mad and wind up frogging the whole thing instead of putting it down for a while. i've really got to work on that...lol.

it's funny b/c tonight i turned the heel on the sock and knit the gussett. it looks big for janelle's foot. i've got to get her to try it on and see how it fits. i told my dad if it's too big, i'll frog it and start over on smaller needles. and i'm ok with that, believe it or not. actually i made some mistakes that i'd really like to fix, but didn't want to frog back that far. i'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow.

i think i might go into work for a little bit after we get out of church. i've got some things i'd like to work on when it's quiet and no one is there to disturb me. i can concentrate better that way and plus i won't have to lug my laptop back in monday morning. i know i'm going to hit the ground running when i get in and would like to have a head start on things. i'm glad i feel better so maybe i can handle the stress better.

it's past time for bed.

kisses....
