blanket update and work craziness

First - a little bit about some work craziness. this incident completely and totally screwed with my day yesterday. Yes I was in the building and I was one of the workers that remained quarantined past my normal work schedule. I don't really want to say what I truly feel about the incident and how it was handled. I guess I should say "no comment" and those of you that know me well enough know the expression on my face right now! haha But it's over. No one was hurt, nothing happened. But really? Someone really has nothing better to do with their time then send random things to big corporations?

So anyway..moving on with life!

I have been working away on my human sized blanket. It's just about half way done and it's really exciting.

I haven't decided if I am going to keep it for myself or put it up in my shop..

Time to go relax, watch Ugly Betty on Netflix and crochet for the rest of the night. I need to update my "what I watch" I've been slacking and have a lot of documentaries - good and very very bad to add on there haha. I think I am going to come up with a funny rating system. Maybe I'll work on it this weekend.

How is it Friday tomorrow already?! (I am not complaining, just curious where the week went!)

That blanket looks intense. You don't see many adult size crocheted blankets. Glad you survived the suspicious package incident. The article doesn't say what was suspicious about the package. Can you say or was it classified?What a pain in the ass!

hey lady - it was a "white substance" they found in an envelope that was sent in to the dental dept. i was trying to find out what it actually was but of course no one could tell us. just that it turned out to not be harmful. i was just thinking back to when your mom forgot her case outside the school and they shut it down thinking it was "suspicious" haha

and thanks about the blanket - i was moving right a long but this week i've hardly worked on. i get a lot of severe headaches/migraines and it seems like almost every night i've had one. miss you!! give townes and tim hugs from me! xoxoxox

thank you, it's a lot of fun. i'm actually just starting myself. i taught myself so i'm not like this crazy crochet genius that has been doing it for years, but i really like it. and my speed is picking up as well. one day soon i'll be able to crank one of these out in no time!
