Well, there's not a whole lot to post about this week. I haven't lost any weight. I haven't gotten any interviews. I did finish the hat and booty set I was working on for Paul and Becca's son. Here's a pic. They're not perfect. One booty is smaller than the other and I messed up on the ribbing in a couple of spots on the hat. Oh well. I'm still learning. It's the thought that counts, right?





I went to Yarns Downtown on Saturday and picked out my next project. I'm so excited about it. It's a purse and I'm almost done with the knitting, but I've still got to get it lined and pick out the handles and stuff to finish it up. I would have gotten it the other day, but I ran out of money. I sometimes can't believe how much yarn costs, but this purse is going to be worth every penny when it's finished. Here's some pictures of what I've done so far.





I'd love to get good enough at knitting that I could actually sell some of this stuff, but the materials alone cost more than $100 for this purse and that's not counting the man hours I've put in to making it. I'd have to charge $200 for this purse to see any profit out of it. How do people make money on making crafts and not go in the hole?

Tomorrow's payday...WhoooHoooo! I've got to get up and sit in on the Veterinary Parasitology class tomorrow morning. Mmmm. 8AM and parasites always go well together. The professors want to introduce us to the vet students so they'll know us when we start teaching and helping out with the labs. Like even half of them will even bother to learn our names. I finished my poster for the CVM Research Day. I've just got to figure out how to get it to the printer's. That stupid poster took me nearly 2 days to complete. But like Dr. Pote says, "It'll be another 'bean' on your CV." I already have a 2 page CV. Do I really need to make it any longer?

Well, that's about it. Tonight I'll go home, walk the dog, and run on the treadmill. Hopefully, I can get some more job applications out this evening. I guess I should just start applying for jobs that I don't qualify for and keep my fingers crossed. I'm more than qualified for some of these other jobs and I can't even get an interview. What's with that? Something will come up. God always sees to that.

Good luck with the continuing job hunt. I know how frustrating it is, but you're right, God will take care of ya!

And I LOVE the things you've knitted. Feel free to do one for me for Christmas--just kiddin'! I can't see any flaws on any of it, and you'll just get better with each piece. GG would be so proud of you!! ;)
