Got the results today the test came out positive I have to see the doctor every week now and stay on bed rest. I packed everything so i'm ready since the baby can come at any time from now and up to 2 weeks. I just hope I can keep her in as long as I can.

Once I finished spinning all the wool, I ended up with these four ugly balls of "singles". You can use them this way, but it is much better if you twist (or ply) them together to make 2-ply yarn.
This is the 2-ply yarn I ended up with... When you are just learning, you get some sections that are skinny and some fat, but when you ply them together they sort of even out in a lumpy sort of way... Who wants a lumpy scarf for Christmas?

Today I went to the doc's office and they took me a test to see if the baby was going to come in the next 2 weeks and they told me that the result would come back tomorrow. James also got a bad rash since he's getting 3 new teeth. Poor baby, so we took him a milk bath to soothe his bottom.

Over the weekend a couple people asked what we did when it was nasty and we couldn't go outside. Dick reads and naps. I do silly things like "spin yarn"... This is some wool I bought from a fantastic shop on a farm near Marengo, with about half of it spun onto two handspindles. Very relaxing, once you practice enough to stop cussing... Especially if you can watch some girly movies while you do it!

Today in the mail I received 2 copies of the Family Fun magazine with my jellyfish costume idea published in it. They changed it quite a bit, but I guess that since they bought the idea from me, they can do what they want with it. I think my version was much cuter! And, I stll haven't received the $200 that they are paying me. I guess I'll give them a couple of weeks, then check into it. Still, it's fun to see my idea used - and on two pages!

Took Miranda's advice (from my September 10th photo) and got some more lottery tickets. Finally scratched this one today....Yeah, again!

Annie & I got haircuts today. I haven't had bangs in years & years. They don't really show very much in this photo. I'm not sure how I feel about them, yet.

Today Joe made cookies by the time I took a picture we had eaten almost all of them. I have a sweet tooth right now. I really crave chocolate.

Cole got a skateboard deck from Dylan's friend, Tommy. Now we just need to get him wheels for it. Yeah! Boardshop here we come.

The soap at my kitchen sink, which I used about 25 times over the course of making & serving dinner tonight. The puppies were in the kitchen with me... I'd clean up after one, wash my hands, do one thing toward dinner, clean up after another, clean up after what one did while I was cleaning up after the last one, wash my hands, do one more thing toward dinner, etc...

Apparently I'm the only person in this house who knows how to work the dishwasher.

Go Bears! This is the group of people that Joe and I normally go to the game with. I didn't get the bus in this picture, but we take a school bus that is decked out in Bears stuff. We have a ton of fun! Thanks for watching Gianni mom! : )
