untitledIts a grey, cloudy, muggy day here in Minnesota. Glad I'm working in the good old AC!

My knitting is slowing down to a dead crawl. I didn't knit much on my trip - that I could only bring my needles on the plane on the US to Canada leg limited my time somewhat, and I was extremely distracted by the Life of Pi. Very, very good book. Can't wait to start the discussion.

The only knitting I've done in the last couple weeks is this:

This is the first shell in the baby blanket for my cousin's baby. I've got 2 lighter shades of dusty pink, and an off-white. We'll see how it goes. (previous post has the rough sketch of the vision in my head)

Other than that I've been getting my feet back under me at work. I took 3 weeks off, then went to training the first week I was back. I'm getting back into the swing of things - while trying to stay relaxed.

The Big One goes off to sports camp next week. She should have a great time. Her first overnight camp experience. There is a day camp option, but when that goes from 9am-9pm, I figured she might as well try the overnight camp. Last night she had her concert to close out summer orchestra. The kids did _so_ well. I'm rather impressed with this school program!

Tonight I'm going to see a MOVIE! We don't get out to see those very often, but we're heading out to see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen tonight. I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed, becasue I love the graphic novel its based on. But, what Sean Connery movie can be bad? Wish me luck!
