It has been nearly a month since I blogged! I didn't mean for it to be so long, but I've been staying rather busy, mostly with Baby Girl, who is going to start walking, any day now. I have, however, been getting Christmas knitting done, though I had to tear out nearly half a sock, on one pair, as it became doubtful that it would fit over the foot of the intended recipient. The thing that has really started eating up my bits of free time, though, is that I've started writing again! Dang, it feels good...

I'm amazed I'm up and about, right now. It is just past 7:30, and I did not go to bed until nearly 2:00. The baby went down to sleep around 12:30 - I just stayed up, reading blogs, and knitting. I suppose I should probably be doing accounts, or something, right now, but I'm sort of expecting KatyBeth to wake up any time now, wanting to be fed. So, instead, I'm blogging and knitting.

It has been a while since I blogged - about two weeks, I believe... Yup, two weeks exactly (just looked it up). Being a full time mommy keeps me busy enough, but when you toss in job hunting (as yet unsuccessful, and rather frustrating, as nobody seems to want to tell you if a place decides to decline the opportunity to bring you on board, preferring to leave you hanging), and trying to maintain the house, and maybe even get it a bit cleaner, plus get some knitting done, and vainly hoping to find some time to write again... well, I imagine you can see where I'm going with all this.

The VOXcast, and Mini-Lee have been completed! (:

It has been a while since I blogged. Between juggling KatyBeth, interviewing, and working like crazy, trying to finish a couple of personal projects, I've been extremely busy. What are these personal projects, you might ask? Well, one is the VOXcast, and the other is a knitted doll, made to look like a certain VOX Grandmaster... (: "Mini-Lee" has been assembled, and I'm now working on the first outfit in his "wardrobe" - I'll post pictures, once he has a shirt to go with the pants he's wearing.

Well, KatyBeth's food hesitations appear to have merely been a stage. She has taken to sweet potatoes with gusto, and is back to slurping up applesauce as much as she does, everything else. Oatmeal has also been recently added, without so much as a batting of the eyelashes.

It is approximately 1:30 in the morning, as I sit to write this. KatyBeth is finally asleep in bed, hopefully for the night, though if she keeps going as she has been lately, she'll wake up somewhere around 3 or 4. I'll likely be all but dead on my feet for major portions of the day, sleeping when she sleeps, getting nothing done, but still, I sit here and blog and knit, instead of going to bed. Because now, when Arazyr and KatyBeth are in bed, is when I can unwind.

I'm really tired. KatyBeth has not been doing so well on the whole sleeping thing, of late, and she's been sort of attention-hungry, today. When being paid direct attention, she's been very happy and cute, but it has been over all a bit wearing on the mommy, here.

It has been a rather full day. I got started on it rather later than I would have liked, but that's pretty standard, these days. Yesterday was Arazyr's and my 7th wedding anniversary. KatyBeth went to hang out with her grandma and grandpa for the evening, while we went out for dinner and a movie. We went to a Mongolian barbecue place for dinner, since it is the kind of place that is difficult, at best, to navigate with a baby along - might as well go while we could, we figured. The movie was "Iron Man".
