After the dishes, she&#8217;ll be re-shingling the roof.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting with the teacher went well.  I like her, she seems very competent.  She&#8217;s got a background in special ed, so that&#8217;ll be helpful.  Several of Emily&#8217;s friends from kindergarten and first grade will be in her classroom too, including her very best friend.  Her teacher and I talked about strategies, and I think we&#8217;re both on the same page.  I&#8217;m feeling pretty good about this.<\/p>\n<p>Jayne hat orders continue to come in, and seem to have picked up slightly now that the weather&#8217;s cooling off.  I seem to be getting ahead of my estimated delivery time, which is good.  It&#8217;ll get better once I&#8217;ve got the mornings to knit instead of cramming it all in at night.  That&#8217;ll give me a chance to make some of the things that I&#8217;ve promised other people.  Including one item which I&#8217;ve decided not to follow a pattern on, but just to wing instead.  We&#8217;ll see how that goes.  Jayne hats on the needles for Illinois, California, and California again.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><br \/>\nLikewise, for Fall, DR weddings are picking back up as people go back to school, and Team Wedding has some projects we&#8217;ve been able to work on.  That&#8217;s always good.<\/p>\n<p>Had good fun at the Stitch&#8217;n&#8217;Bitch at Books a Million last night.  I had my first coffee in about a month (I get one raspberry mocha at the weekly Stitch&#8217;n&#8217;Bitch) and wound up staying up way too late.  Well, at least I finished another Jayne hat and another set of repeats on <a href=\"http:\/\/knitty.com\/ISSUEspring05\/PATTbranchingout.html\">Branching out.<\/a><br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/BranchingOut\/Branchingouthalf.jpg\" \/ border=\"2\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Last night, <a href=\"http:\/\/turtlegirl76.blogspot.com\/\">prostiturtle<\/a> brought up the post with all the alcohol stories in the comments, and it once again proved a popular topic of conversation.  Another popular topic was pet loyalty.  To which I will add my story!<\/p>\n<p>Once, before we were married, I stayed the night with my future husband at his house (sorry, Mom and Dad!) when he was living not too far up the street.  I got up in the middle of the night and fumbled for my shirt in the dark and started to put it on.  I remembered that I didn&#8217;t put it on, but my husband reminds me otherwise, and he&#8217;s right:  I had just gotten it over my head when I noticed it was wet.  And smelled funny.  What the&#8230;  Holy crap!  The cat had come into the room and peed on my shirt!  May I just say:  EWWWWWWWW!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I guess she was right to be jealous, I did wind up stealin&#8217; her man!  Ha!  Take that, you stupid possessive cat!<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever had a pet act possessive, jealous, or just plain weird toward someone in your life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, , I found a shirt for you!
