Ugh..

Wow, I'm feeling gross.

I'm trying my first crockpot meal today - hopefully I don't burn the apartment building down! I've got a roast, potatoes, carrots & onions (with brown gravy) cooking on high at home. I can't wait to get home to (hopefully) some heavenly smells. I also hope the cat doesn't get too interested in the slow cooker and burn his little nose!

Saturday will be another adventure in slow cooking - I'm planning to make Chili & Cornbread for a gaggle of people helping our friends DJ & P move (into our neighborhood, finally!). While everyone else is down in Quincy shlepping boxes and furniture, I'll be at home cooking up chili and possibly taking a nap while it cooks. What a hard life! P says I can't come because she doesn't want me lifting "anything." Such protective friends! I love you guys!

I want to get to Michael's and buy some yarn so that I can continue my knitting adventures. I'm stuck right now on my project (a baby blanket) because I'm out of yarn! You can tell by this that I am not an experienced knitter. An experienced knitter would have plenty of yarn, the right color and dye lot, at the ready. An experienced knitter would have known what they wanted to DO with the yarn when they bought it! Hehe, not me, though. But knitting is fun! My good friend KR taught me how, and last Saturday we had a fun knitting circle at her place where I not only got to get a few rows knitted, but got to chat with all the ladies and hear some fresh gossip!! :) Hehe, don't ask, I won't tell you what it was!

On another crafting note, I haven't done any scrapbooking at all this month. I only did 2 pages last month and 3 pages the month before. I am really slowing down. I need to organize all of the great papers and stickers my MIL brought me when she came to visit. Really I just need to decide on a project and get going on it. It doesn't help that I feel crappy a lot of the time (especially in the evenings) which is the time that I would have time to scrap. It's hard to be creative when all you want to do is go to bed or rest on the futon. I'm hoping I'll get that 2nd trimester "energy jolt" and get some scrapping done before I have to get rid of my craft desk to make room for the crib.
