Summer is here! We put it off for a long time, but it is finally here with a vengeance! When I got in my car yesterday after work, the temp read 117. It did drop down to 111 by the time I got home, but I know it was hotter than 117 in my car (dark grey interior!) I know I was hot and tired and cranky! I didn't even take the dogs for a walk last night, since it was so hot - but they didn't get the message. Every time I walked by my shoes, they got all excited. It was even worse when I stopped by the shoe rack, and put on my sandals - they just knew we were going for a walk! Poor things - it was just too warm!

Unfortunately, I have been watching the Olympics. Also, Alli has decided to get up earlier. So - I am going to bed later (12:30 one night!) and Alli is getting up between 5:00 and 5:30 - not much sleep for me! It is also slow at work, so I am doing some projects that I didn't have time for before - and they involve a lot of staring at the computer. I definitely needed a nap yesterday.

I did get my baby blanket done and a pair of booties! I'm not that happy with the booties - they are too large. I could not find any coordinating baby yarn at Wal-Mart or Michaels. I will have to check at Joann's but I don't have a lot of hope. I wanted thinner yarn, but most of the thin baby yarn is the 'soft' style, and I think it is too slick to hold up to the booties. I have pink, green, yellow and white yarn here, but no blue! Oh well - they look cute, even if they won't fit little Barron right now (he was only 6 pounds at birth - just a couple of weeks ago!)
