Thursday Blues

7:36 AM

I am kind of blah today. I don't really know why. I guess I just want to go home.

Last night we had spaghetti for dinner. We gave Vallerie her very own plate. It was MESSY. Not that we were expecting anything different though. We got some pictures of her "eating" it. I think she seemed to enjoy it. She also enjoyed getting into my purse with her spaghetti hands. I'll probably be finding spaghetti in there for a long long time.

After dinner we gave Vallerie a much needed bath. She was splashing up a storm. It wasn't the normal little splashing she does, these were baby mega splashes. She was having a ball. I think Eddie and I got more wet than she did.

Put Vallerie to bed, and Eddie watched some TV and I went upstairs to make a Thank You card for Eddie's brother-in-laws parents. About 1/2 way through I came down stairs to get a drink, and I must have done something because Vallerie woke up and just screamed. Eddie finally got her calmed down, but she was up for about 45 minutes before she went back to sleep. I went back upstairs and finished the card. I actually made 4. I figure it's just as easy to make multiples as it is to make one. I didn't put the "thanks" on the other 3 though. I figure I'll save them for something else. Pretty soon I will have a card stash... actually I already have a pretty good one. I should get something to organize them.

After I finished the card, I went downstairs and started on a baby blanket for a gal at work. They are doing an under the sea theme, so I picked out yarn that I thought would be good for it, however after I started, it seems too grey. Not really "baby". I'm going to finish it of course, but I will probably just keep it for some other occasion. There was another skein of yarn that I thought might work, but it only had a couple colors in it. I will probably buy it and see how it turns out.

Then I went to bed. I didn't sleep very well. I kept waking up.

I realized something while I was making the cards last night. If I plan out a design, it takes a lot less time to make the card if I color in the design with the colors I think I want to use. I know it sounds like a "duh" thing, but I have so many designs made up that aren't colored in. If I wouldn't have colored in the design for the thank you card I made, it would have taken me so much longer to pick out colors and get it all done.

That's all for now. I'm thirsty.
