Monday, Monday...
Oh wait, it's Tuesday. So yesterday was a lovely Monday; as a state employee, I enjoyed the Seward's Day holiday :D Without yesterday, this past weekend would have been pretty lame (had a migraine all weekend).
I finally checked Blackboard today & grades were posted for Big Test #2 (took it Saturday, mid-migraine). Yay! I got a 102 out of 105. Yeah, the teacher grades on a curve, but yay for me averaging 100%! We still have yet to see if this class provides proper preparation for next year...
Tonight I finished up the Covert Robin gift :) OK, this was pretty fun, but I am very poor at time management. I don't know that I'll be doing another one of these for a while LOL

THREE most excellent weekends in a row!
None of them was totally good, but each had something wonderful that outshone everything else :D What a lovely March this has been. The Moose turns ONE YEAR OLD on Saturday, the 31st; I am still reeling at the thought!
THREE weekends ago, I was showered in kisses for the first time by my beautiful baby. She'd started kissing about 2 weeks prior, but this was the first time SHE initiated the kissing. And then, when I thought nothing could be better, she did it again. And again. And again. For like a dozen times in a row. I was sitting on the floor and she was standing next to me, holding on to my shoulder, like she does now. She was poopy all day from teething pains and hadn't eaten much, so I made her some oatmeal, extra milky. This kid gets SO excited about good food; Yobo & I love this, she has a hoppy happy dance where she bends her knees and the pops them straight, causing her to bounce, bounce. She was bouncing up for a bite, bouncing up for a kiss, bite, kiss, bite, kiss, kiss, kiss hahahaha it is the most awesome moment of my life thus far :D
LAST weekend, Bee and I took the kid out to the Eagle River Nature Center to check out Ruth's Earthwatch presentation (which was, as usual, fun, educational, and with good humor). The Moose was such a good girl! I didn't even ask her to be good hahaha We made it out of town earlier than expected - this really turned out to be a blessing because it took longer to get out there than I'd thought it would; plus, we scored one of the few couches :D Plans were made to make another girl's day out to see Ruth's next presentation & a summer exploratory trip back to the ERNC (none of us had been before), and there was a whole lot of good, old-fashioned girl talk.
THIS weekend started out horribly, with a migraine that started on Wednesday. This morning, we dropped the Moose off with mema, the first time she has ever babysat for us. We were apprehensive about this at first, but it turned out wonderfully. Yobo & I went to my doctor's about this migraine thing; we're trying a new approach, so we'll see how it goes. When we picked her up, mema was just glowing! The Moose kissed her & finally showed her she can stand up on her own now & hang out for a minute!!! There was no crying or freaking out, just love :D Later, Mimi came over for dinner & play with the baby for a while. The Moose hasn't seen Mimi since Christmas and the freak out happened; she cried for almost 15 minutes if I wasn't holding her or Mimi got too close. Thankfully, she eventually came around and then it was on like Donkey Kong! There's was lots of smiling & giggling & dinosaur noises. We got all the family birthday plans figured out - Friday night is with Mama2 (Yobo's mama), a night on the town! Saturday is with mema & my sissies. Mema is making japchae & bulgolgi, got the Moose her first hanbok, is ordering the rice cakes, and we'll be getting together some items for doljabi. I'm SO freaking stoked!

Covert Robin
So, I am a slacker. If you didn't know/guess that already, then... well, okey dokey and maybe you should go back to bed ;)
I signed up for this Covert Robin thing and, by golly, I'm going to be done on time. I hope I didn't read my recipient wrong & she digs what I've dug up for her. It's mostly going to be gardening stuff I think... will post more when I finally narrow things down.
Anyhoo, to MY dear Covert Robin, if you are reading this & are, like me, stuck for any last minute ideas, let me give you a very scattered run down of the things that I love: attempts at good grammar, awesome t-shirts, music (most anything not pop/country or techno, classical's OK but I'm honestly not going to listen to it of my own volition), tattoos & tattooed freaky people, sitting & spinning (fiber, that is!), handwriting letters, getting my hands dirty (gardening, painting, playing with goats or dogs, feeding my daughter, feeding myself, but not cooking), foods that are (somewhere in the world) socially acceptable to eat with your hands, pretending that I like exercise, learning to sew, sometimes reading, Jackie Duluoz, typewriters, James Dean, the best ever music video, and goats. I love goats, especially cashmere ones! In fact, I told Yobo I'd rather have a goat than a dog. Maybe. They're not quite as snuggly, but they're way funnier.

In need of being spun right round
Tonight, I will bust out the spinning wheel & spin what I can spin. This wheel is old, not mine, has a cracked wheel, and is a mini traveler... Maybe the tahkli's looking a little more reliable.
UPDATE: 10:18PM, in the kitchen, with the camera, happily spun. The wheel is dead. The treadle won't peddle, but that's okay :) It was a borrowed wheel & it's taken me a year to sit in front of it, so it is ALL good. Busted out the tahkli & spun up some silky threads; haven't done this in a year and, man, it was a bumpy start, but it really is like riding a bicycle. Luckily, I wasn't very good to begin with, so I'm totally stoked with what I did!!!

I have no memory of buying from Crystal Creek Fibers. This sample was alright; not awesome, but just fine for a free sample!
