Up and Up

So, what have I actually accomplished since my last post?
1. I frogged my sweater fronts down to the beginning of the neck and have started to knit them up again the right way (albeit slowly), both on the same circular needle to avoid the "Sweaterfront" variation of Second Sock Syndrome;
2. I finalized my collar pattern (or so I recall);
3-5. These are useless to start until the sweater is actually finished, so I haven't bothered;
6-7. I decided to start spending some alone time with God and my guitar, so there's another accomplishment;
8. Just 1500 envelopes left, and my gym dues just came in yesterday, but I may have a new job looming on the horizon (praise God!);
9. Camp meeting was last night, and there's another meeting for the girls tonight, and I'm so excited!!
10. Mom has decided I have enough underwear, seeing as I "can only wear one pair at a time," so that's that;
11. $5 for 8oz. of my signature fragrance is pretty sweet: I--I mean, Mom saved $7;
12. The new Guitar Hero III controller actually works (what a concept);
13. PacSun just ran out of Zach's size belt in that style (every store all at one, I kid you not), but he found one he really liked instead (for the same price! Isn't God good?), so it's cool;
14. Vitamin levels are looking good;
15. Mom wasn't in the mood to buy me extra supplements that weren't essential (and by the time I found them it was too late anyway), so no glutamine;
16. Lunch was smashing for two Wednesdays in a row (though the second was eaten on the way home from study as I wasn't needed in the Office);
17. Both Bible studies were finished (the important parts, anyway), though the second was finished at study;
18. Found out online that I just needed to loosen the screw on the bobbin case, so my tension problem's fixed;
19. Calibration is for wimps! Who needs accuracy anyway?
20. I made my discipleship calls a week late, and I have some more to make by tomorrow;
21. I'm still working on the whole "bedtime" thing, but I'm getting better;
22. Made that training appointment and a few others;
23. Threw out some bad stuff, and this morning I found some rice from the ninth in the back of the fridge that needs to be thrown out;
24. Used up my iTunes gift card but I'm waiting for some yarn to come back in stock at Knit Picks;
25.  Cam up with new to-dos and such, blah, blah, blah.
The important thing is, I actually got some stuff done, and more besides! For example, I have a pillow ready to be sewed that took me all day Tuesday to cut and arrange (you'll see why when you see the pictures of the finished product). I also knit and unraveled a rainbow-colored beret --twice. I have returned the yarn to its former skein form, complete with reattached label. I'll try to find another pattern for it someday, but it just wasn't enough for a beret. Oh well.
So that's all for now; I'm too tired to think right now and Mom promised to knit.
And knit she surely shall.
