Knitting: am down to the last 13 inches on the scarf for my secret sister. Last night I wasted about an hour of good knitting time- somehow got lost on the k1 k2 yo p1 and added a few stitches. So it got put away until this am when I could focus on it. Didn't want to stop the movie that I was watching. Cut out and Serged together another pair of pajama pants- all that remains is to sew the hems, drawstrings and waistbands in. Waiting for Bumpkins to go to sleep for that.
Went to La Leche meeting tonight. Was told that I should be expressing some milk to ease the fullness (don't want an infection now! since I didn't have any at all.) Was also told to put the rib part of a cabbage leaf against my b**b to help w/any plugged ducts. Interesting we have advanced so medically and are reduced to simple home remedies. Guess whatever works- antibiotics are so over prescribed.
Finished reading the first book of 2008. The Family Name by Jan Washburn written in 1973. Very interesting to read it and think about how medicine has really advanced in the last 30 years- life guarding also has changed since then. All right the book is about swimming and being injured while doing water activities.
Random Website: Since many of you are going on vacation this year I am going to touch on some strange places to visit. Actually this place I really want to go- Bumpkins would love IT. Sesame Street does exist! (Make sure your volume is turned on so you can hear the character's talking.)
Weather: temps 13 above and snowing

La Leche night
Knitting: the Hufflepuff scarf is as long as one arm. About 1/2 done. It will be done before the OTP comes out. Then onto my cross stitch as I can hear it calling to me. Hmm... unless I cut out this quilt and sew it.
More comfort shopping from yesterday. This material is for the lighthouse portion of DM's quilt. She really likes Cape Hatteras Lighthouse- so that is the colors that I will be using. I hope that she likes this, as she is old school in the thought that only one kind of texture/fabric goes into a quilt. ie.. only use cotton. Me on the other hand believe that anything can go in a quilt. If I can figure out to to sew knit items then handknits will be in quilts also. Can you imagine the different textures?
Busy day: Got to sleep in. That was nice (DH did set the alarm clock for 5:30 though). Brought Bumpkins to work with me this am. Alena had to teach lessons and I guarded for her. Her sister Racheal watched Bumpkins. They played outside for almost an hr. it was foggy out but warm enough. Then they played w/the ball and watched Shrek. One of Alena's classes is very hands on, glad that isn't mine. After work I delivered a bunch of outgrown clothes to a friend of mine. This friend has 3 girls, oldest is a mommy and married, middle is 20 pregnant, not married (the father of the baby is not a good choice for her), and the the youngest is 18 (same age as Princess). I visited w/the mom for quite awhile, she needed a mom talk. I just pray for the girl as the road that she is on isn't a good one. I know this because I was her. Then Bumpkins and I came home took a nap, and went to the La Leche meeting. That was so interesting, Bumpkins will be getting weaned here soon. But first to get her in her own bed all night. The interesting thing is Alaska is ranked 3rd on Breastfeeding in the nation. That's pretty good. What happened on the Delta flight wouldn't happen here in this state. One everybody nurses and two it is accepted. If I had been in a big city w/a Delta counter, I so would have been part of that sit-in. If I had been on the plane, we would have been kicked off also.
Thing Two has a friend over.
