Obviously, I suck at keeping a blog. I keep meaning to write, but then things (basically, life) keep happening, and I get busy, and I just... don't.
Here's a recap of the last several months.
Havoc keeps growing. He's about to turn 2 years old, and in keeping with form, has entered into the terrible twos several months early, and I no longer want to be a mommy. Toddlers are awful. Sick toddlers are even worse, and he and I both have head/chest colds that we can't shake.
I started knitting. I mean, I was knitting over the summer, but now I really knit. I'm currently obsessed with making hats, in particular baby hats. I intend to make lots of preemie hats for the tough little bitties in NICU at St. Davids Austin, among other hospitals. Almost two years ago, dear friends had a sweet little boy terrifyingly early, (though he's a walking, talking terror now!) and NICU has since become a very near and dear cause, and I just want to do something, anything, to help make the struggle of those little boys and girls a little easier, and make their moms and dads feel a little more normal. If anyone wants to join me in this, by the way, come one over, I'll supply yarn and booze and we'll have a good ol' time making super sweet super tiny little head warmers.
I got into my first car accident, totally not my fault... It was actually pretty anticlimactic, we both drove away with minimal damage to our cars, and in theory I'm getting a check from the insurance company next week to fix my poor busted fender.
Oh, and we named my car Gertrude. Ol' Dirty Gertie.
I haven't been climbing any, because first, I hurt a finger the day we left Flagstaff.. then I pulled an ab muscle right after we got home... then I threw out my back (which was epic and painful and I wanted to die for about eight weeks)... but now I've been mostly healed up for several weeks and I have high hopes of starting again in the next week or so.
Other than that, it's really just lots of knit hats. Lots and lots of knit hats.
