And since I&#8217;ve decided to take a break and not have a summer class (even though it&#8217;ll set me back a little).  You all saw the paper I turned in last Monday&#8230; well, unless you ignored it, which I wouldn&#8217;t blame you for doing. \ud83d\ude42  I had a final a couple days ago.  Then, today&#8217;s assignment, which was a website for my Internet Technology Tools class.  I&#8217;d share the URL, but I want to make sure my professor grades it before I go sending any traffic its way.  Unlike the paper, the website is all about fiber, so it should be more interesting than the history of the Mountain View Public Library.<\/p>\n<p><i>Shawl<\/i><br \/>Meanwhile, I started a new shawl for myself&#8230; the Beginner&#8217;s Triangle Shawl from A Gathering of Lace.  The Brooks Farm Duet is so nice and soft, and I haven&#8217;t had too much trouble with it spliting, which was a worry I had before I started due to the way the yarn is plied.  It&#8217;s going to interesting to see how the colors play out since the shawl is knit side to side rather than top to bottom or bottom to top.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/zardra\/253882680\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:hand;width:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/110\/253882680_8555990ba9_b.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/zardra\/253882682\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:hand;width:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/113\/253882682_0c96b51287_b.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/zardra\/253882683\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center;cursor:hand;width:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/93\/253882683_c6531378b7_b.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>Unfortunately, I dropped a stitch while I was knitting and studying on Saturday.  I haven&#8217;t had the chance to try to pick the stitch back up&#8230; I didn&#8217;t have good lighting or a crochet hook when I made the mistake.  I&#8217;ve been too busy or tired to take care of it since then.  Picking up stitches requires so much more concentration than knitting does&#8230; at least for me.   <\/p>\n<p><i>Fun stuff<\/i><br \/>Tonight was a tasty steak with mushroom sauce and asparagus in celebration of finishing the semester.  Very nice Pinot Noir&#8230; I even splurged and had an extra glass (since I have the points for it).  <\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is going to be a half day at work because the Husband and I have tickets to the 2 pm showing of Episode III in Mountain View.  *Woo hoo*  <\/p>\n<p>The Weight Watchers diet is going really well&#8230; I&#8217;ve lost 12.6 lbs so far, which is amazing&#8230; it&#8217;s really hard to believe that a simple change in my diet has done this.  Of course, now the pants that I bought a couple months ago are really baggy&#8230; I was able to pull them down without undoing them this afternoon&#8230; it took a small amount of work, they didn&#8217;t just fall off, but they fit nicely when I bought them.  I&#8217;m about half way to my 10% goal.  I guess this is really incredible because when I tried Weight Watchers 2 years ago I only lost like 6 lbs in 13 weeks&#8230;. I lost that same amount in 2 weeks this time around.  Okay&#8230; I&#8217;m going to stop sharing now and go drink my wine.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon I turned in my last major project of the semester. *sigh* Quite a load off my back.
