It's been a while, I know, but I have a few major updates:
My big brown dog passed away on September 19, 2009. We had her put down after months of just really not being her old self, and suffering from a long list of problems. I miss Kishka.
I am a pro-star dog walker. Sassy and I are a force to be reckoned with on dog walks. Although, I recently discovered that she doesn't walk nearly as nicely with other people as she does with me. Slim Jim and Diaper Dan joined us for a walk this week and she was squirrely and stupid and barked at people - all are things she never does with me.
Proof that Sassy does anything I tell her toUsing my pro-star abilities, I joined another dog to our team and he is learning the ways of the dog walk. Welcome Oscar, Sassy will learn to love you in time. Oscar came to us from a friend of my mom's, whose neighbour passed away leaving a dog with no home. He has a loving home at my house now.
Oscar with a completed Sackboy for JamesChristmas knitting is 98% complete - I am just finishing the last sock for Fuzzyhead. I have a long list of things to knit for myself as soon as I finish all my Christmas knitting. I don't think I'll be doing this again any time soon. My plan for next year is to make simple knitted ornaments for everyone, which will take a lot less time, I'm assuming.
French press cozy for Oni
Momma's self-striping socks
Grandpa's man socks
Poppa's boring brown socks, with interesting cabled ribbing
Wisp shawl - I made two of these for two relatives, the other one is in a very nice royal blueI have given my notice at the bux, and my last day will be this Saturday, Santa Claus parade day. I have kept my decision to myself, but I know word gets around fast, and I anticipate having to explain my choice all week until I am gone. This has been coming on for a while now, I just finally had all my ducks in line to do it. I will be going to work with my mom full time. I hope that by working with her, I can free her up to do a lot more, and maybe we can build our sales back to what they could be. We had a bad year, but having only two people on staff full time makes it tricky to get the food out, and respond to people who are hoping to get food in a timely manner. My primary job will be responding to inquiries and meeting with people, which frees up momma to do the cooking again. I'm excited for my big-girl job, with a big-girl title, and big-girl business cards with my name on them. I can get my nails done again, and wear pretty things to work. Goodbye Starbucks, I will miss you.
Halloween is done and gone, but I didn't get to truly share this year's pumpkin masterpiece with my public yet:
Harry Potter and friends
Next up, Christmas season! Fuzzyhead and I have plans for a fun-filled December, including:
Onward,

- Visit to a heritage village for Christmas fun, old-timey style
- Building a snowman
- Decorating Fuzzyhead's tree and apartment
- Christmas baking
- Christmas Ikea shopping - not really different from regular Ikea shopping
Onward,

I love you, and your posts.
SO sorry to hear about Kishka! Oscar looks handsome. That is awesome that you are going to be working for your mom, congrats! I hope it works well for you, and that your mom gets some relaxation time in. Catherine mentioned something about a knitalong, and I'd be game! We just need to decide what to make. Right now I'd be interested in something small, but just after Christmas and before things get too crazy at school I could be convinced to do a shawl. Good to hear from you!
