It keeps getting crazy here this summer. Everything seems to be happening at once, at work they are sending my to San Fran not to long from now for some fun training. We had some policies change as of June 1st so suddenly my trip was in jeopardy, I think the only reason I still get to go is because work had already paid for 75% of it before the policy change. So now I am going and I am excited about it but at the same time work is crazy insane because of the release of the iPhone and I have some not so exciting involvement in our company getting ready for it. It's all very high stress and not terribly fun. We also are supposed to do some usability testing (totally unrelated project) and that has been postponed or canceled over and over again for the last 6 months and I was all set to do it the week after next but now they think that is canceled. I knew June was going to be nuts and overall hey it's half over so thats the good news.

The not so good news is my father in-law has to go in for heart surgery this coming monday, it was not planned. Please send all your good thoughts and vibes to him on monday if you are so inclined. I don't know if people thinking about other people and sending good thoughts helps, but I like to think it does. My husband and I will be thinking of him all weekend and hoping everything goes very well and he makes a full recovery.

So I've had tried for well over a week now to distract myself from the stress with knitting, but the knitting hasn't gone well. So today in revolt on the way to my monthly doctor appointment I ran into Joann's to get some "Lion Brand Velvetspun" which is a very nasty polyester yarn. I wanted the FO it's destined for to look just like the photo of the pattern so I took the dive and got the called for yarn. It doesn't knit up very evenly as you can see from the photo, probably because it doesn't really have any give or stretch when your knitting. I highly doubt I will ever buy it again but I think this project is worth the suffering of knitting with polyester yarn :) No I won't tell you what I am knitting until it's done because, well that just seems like more fun.

Oh and I failed my 1 hour glucose test today so I have to go back friday for a 3 hour one and they get to prick my finger 3 times. I am so psyched! Sorry I have been so whiney this month, but I knew June was going to be rough... I think July will be better, just hang in there with me!
