Keeping Busy...

I know you are all wondering what keeps me busy outside of this little being that has taken over household Conroy. Honestly, I do indeed miss work. I miss the daily human interactions. On the same behalf, I can't even fathom going back to work right now. He's so fragile, so precious, and he needs ME. He does nap. He naps in the morning, and occassionally if I'm lucky, I'll get something besides a handful of cat naps in the afternoon.

We've taken to watching Lost. Unfortunately, after season 1 ended on Friday on G4, they did away with the 4:00pm showing. That's OK, I can just watch it with Joe at night. I was never into the whole Lost thing, but it grabbed me, and wow, I look forward to it daily!



We've also been doing some baking and cooking. Homemade applesauce, scones, and today? We braved bread! Angry Chicken posted that she made this bread and it was fantastic! I was enticed by the jelly toast.

Lastly, I decided that I really need to learn to Knit. Knitting has never been my forte. For that matter, nothing with yarn really has. the constant movement of my hands is just something that doesn't grab me. I love the look of knitted things, but I hardly have the patience for it. I'm trying though. A friend posted a great headband on another site and I really would like to make it someday. This is my goal, for now. In the meantime, I'm practicing my knit/purl.

I'm also finding that I'm applying my nesting to the house the same way I do in my classroom. The wash needs to be folded, the dishes put away, things in order, etc. I never realized that I do this. I honestly just thought I was keeping things organized! It's amazing what you learn about your habits when put in a different scenario!
