Things here in Smithfield have been pretty chilly and wet! I am both excited for fall to come and sad to see summer leave. Oh well.
Lately things have been going just fine. I love this time of year because it is time to make hats for winter! I love to do this. B wants me to sell them, and I am happy to do so, but I don't have a lot of people asking for them.
Nonetheless, they are a blast to make.
Here are my latest:
I was really excited about the brown and green hat, but I made it a bit too small. I will have to find a friend with a small head to have this one. It looks like a swim cap on me!
This pink and green beauty is the perfect size. I do think that having both a ball and a flower is a bit much, but what do you think? It is cute either way, but I think one or the other... not both!
The little pink number above was made for my friend to give to her friend who is having a baby girl. I love the big ball on top. It turned out very cute!
I plan on making many more hats!
School is going wonderfully! I am so very grateful for my stepmom Bonnie who loaned me some money to pay for my tuition. Thank you Bonnie!
My class, excuse me, my LAST class before I get my bachelors degree is called Children in the Middle Years. I have only 2 books. Here is one of them:
I have to write 4 reflection papers on this book. I think I may post the true reflections on my blog. My other is a boring text book. So far, the 'Best Friends, Worst Enemies' is not so bad. There are some stupid analogies, but oh well.
Funny story that kind of relates to my book. I was reading it last night as I was waiting for an aerobics class to end, my class was next. As I sat there reading, other girls began to show up for the 7:30 PM Hip Hop class. 3 in particular sat close to me. They began to talk as if I wasn't there, of course, I listened in from time to time.
It came out in their conversation that one of them was the instructor. She said to the her friends "It is kind of a drag to come here on Wednesday nights and hang out with a bunch of people who can't dance." I glanced up from my book, then went right back to reading.
I paid no attention to my book after that because all of my insecurities about the fact that I can't dance were hot on my mind. I started to reassure myself that I could just fit in amongst the crowd and she wouldn't know that I would be that person who couldn't dance.
Well, including her two friends, there were 7 of us there. So much for blending in. I thought several times to just abandon ship. I stuck it out though. I am so glad I did. I laughed at myself and I had a blast! Oh and I learned a new hip hop routine! It is a way cute dance and I was able to do it. Not as quick as the other 6 girls who showed up, all of them younger than me and all of them with little hot bodies. On second thought, I guess I did blend in!
Well that is my life for now. Hope you all are doing good!

I would like to place an order for matching mommy daughter hats! Do I need to measure our noggins? :)
I love you! I want you to post yourself doing the hip hop routine, I think you probably rock at it!
I seriously love the colors you choose for your hats, they are too too cute.
I want you to come to my house now!
Love you
Those hats are DANG cute. About that instructor, she gives me gas. Her snottiness will come the bight her in the....bum someday.
Now I am less anxious to go dance with you....you know, when you and Nickie move next door to me.
Thanks for the fun post. I loved your story about your aerobics class. I also think the yarn of the pink hat is so pretty and I also love the ball on it. You are so talented in your crocheting.
I have about 3 posts on my blog that you may have not read. Look at it when you can. You may find the August 1 post funny it is entitled, *I can't believe that Somebody Didn't Call the Police."
I thougth I had commented on this but I guess not. Hey, I should come to that class and then everyone would be saying, "Who is that FAT OLD person?" and they wouldn't even notice if you danced or stood on your head--cute hair, by the way--or nothin'.
We FINALLY got B's sh__ brown overalls--or whatever they are--taken back, well Dad did. We'll put a check in the mail. Cash it pronto as my account is always tettering and I go by what the bank says I have and don't seem to remember that there are checks out there.
