Congratulations To Us!

Hoorray! 

So my sister Raw Chicken had a baby today!  I bet she is gorgeous, and for the first time ever I will say a real name on my blog.  Her parents have named her Aubrey Cristine.  I think I spelled it right.

I haven't talked to Raw Chicken yet, but I am sure I will within the next few days.  Her and her family are gonna be a little bit busy, so I will talk with her when they are ready.

I am so happy for them.  I think that Aubrey, whom we'll now call Baby, is their last child.

At any rate, I have been working on my first afghan, as it is pictured below.  I am making it for Raw Chicken.  She is unaware of this and I was just gonna send it when it was done, but, I needed to have a picture of something to post that was influenced by Baby.

The colors are pale yellow, pink and white.  Because I am so new to crocheting, I picked a very basic pattern to make this afghan with.  I got bored and added a new stitch and this allowed me to weave in the other colors.  It is still a work in progress, and I am sure Raw Chicken will see this blog before she gets the blanket.

Surprise!

I am sure all of the Astin's are very happy tonight as they have a very new addition.

I know I am happy.

On another note, B is sick.

He has a head cold.  As a result he has been snoring way too much at night.  He will fall asleep before me and I will be almost asleep when he will begin to snore and snore. 

I will wiggle or shake the bed to get him to stop, and sometimes this works, most of the time it doesn't.

When the wiggle fails, I then wake him and say "B you are snoring can you switch positions?"

No, I am not heartless, this is actually the method that he prefers.  He doesn't like the wiggle.

So today I broke down and I bought him these:

B was looking at the package and asked "Do you realize you bought large?"

"Yes", I replied.

He then reads the back of the box:

"Small/med fit 75% of all noses, size large fits larger noses."

"Well, you have a big nose," I replied.

We laughed at that description.

I tried to take a picture of that description on the box, but our camera couldn't focus on the words.

I also bought him this:

This is about a buck a pill.

B took a couple pills about two hours ago and I don't think that they are working right.  He is still very congested.  Poor baby boy.

At work these days things are kind of scary.

There is a chance that they will have to shut my building down due to lack of people living there.  I don't want to lose my job, but I understand if it gets shut down.

Not too much else to blog about.

I will post a picture of the afghan once it is done.  I am quite proud of it thus far.

Though I must mention that this new hobby of mine sure makes me feel like I am an 'oldy' (old lady).
