A lot can happen in 4 months...

I've given up my livejournal (which I had for about 8 years) due to many reasons (time, the new Russian Overlords, Drama llamas etc). I've tried very hard to use a paper journal. I've learned I've grown VERY accustomed to typing. Ahh the lost art of handwriting. Anyways, I've also learned I need to have some sort of a blog (just for fun ^-^), so here I am. On my neglected blogger blog.

A lot has happened since the last time I updated. Some good, some bad, some mixed. Really, all having it's positive points and it's negative points. Everything has made us realize how precious life is and our relationships with family (both near AND far).

Most notably, Kim and I conceived #2. We're on an exciting roller coaster of preparing for the birth of our new son/daughter. It's very exciting because everyone is expecting this year. We're also planing our first home birth, which is exciting and also a tad bit scary.

Just to add a crafty bit to this post, here's a current WIP:



This is a fishy blankie for baby #2. I'm basing it off of Millie's fish pattern and also "a recipe for fish". I like how Millie's fish run in strips, but I couldn't read the charts. I combined the best of both of them, and am really loving how they come out. I plan on knitting a lot for this baby. Since right now, I'm broke but have a ton of Stash! I'm also hoping to match one for one things for him/her and Abigail. I don't want her to feel left out.

Hamann Eggs For Breakfast

I just wanted to drop a note, saying my radio show, Hamann Eggs For Breakfast, will air TOMORROW from 7 am to 8 am. If you're in the Mid Coast area tune into 93.3 (Rockland) or 99.3 (Camden). If you're not, go to wrfr.org and click where it says "live streaming" and listen anywhere, online. It''ll air weekdays from 7 to 8.


And what about your life you say? Well, Kim has done his best to spoil me. For my birthday, he bought me beautiful yarns and lanternmoon needles. He also bought me a rainbow unbrella. I have a new iMac, which is a glorified desk warmer right now, as it's suffering from a freak out invloving an ipod and kernal panic. *rolls eyes* My trip to Rochester was hectic, but fun. Abby loved the zoo and the beach. And she loved meeting her cousains. Aly, her oldest, is now taller than me. She's 13! I remember when she was born! My bestest friend, Casey came up for a visit a week or so ago. It was jsut a couple of days but it was sooo nice to be around her. I miss her so much! We've been friends for almost 10 years. Kim treated us to a mother's day/casey's birthday brunch at the Samoset Resort. It was amazinly expensive but very, very tasty.

I'm drudging along on a pair of socks. I mastered the art of turning heels (waaay easier than I ever thought) and now I'm trying to pick up the stitches along the heel flaps. I'm also decided that I'm going to make oodles of knitted washclothes. They're so soft! I cant' go back to terry cloth :-P

Ah, well, I shoudl go back to working on my radio show. First one airs tomorrow! Eep!
