odds and ends

I'm sitting at home right now while the contractors insulate our attic. I am so excited for this it's not even funny. I am ready for our heating bills to not be so high and in the summer maybe our upstairs will actually feel like the A/C is on.

And to update my last post - I'm up over $1700 raised for my 3-Day walk!! As a team we're over $7400 raised between the 4 of us - we're doing so well! And my mother-in-law is less than $200 from hitting our individual minimum of $2300 - she is a fundraising machine.

Recently I finished a gift for a friend of mine who is due with her first baby in May. Her shower is in a few weeks and I crocheted a blanket for the baby boy and I love how it came out:


It looks like we may finally be inching our way into spring. It's supposed to be in the mid-high 50s this weekend and I am SO excited. We also change the clocks which will be nice - I'll be able to do my training walks after work outside instead of having to go on the treadmill.
