The way of the Goob
This new habit of K's amuses me greatly. It's as if she's too lazy to lift her head to look out the window. She even keeps her head propped like this as she swivels to look from one side of the yard to another. It's adorable.
In other news, Lauren gave a shout out to me / knitting night in her blog, and featured a photo of my latest WIP. I'm not sure I would call myself an advanced knitter, but... sweet! I'll take it :) The project is this purse, which looks great on paper. I'm hoping that it will test my sewing (for the lining) as well as knitting skillz, and result in something useful if not beautiful. Honestly I'm regretting my choice to add the red. I think I would have liked it better in a solid dark grey to show off the cables properly. Maybe I'll start over, but that's always a bummer. Choices, choices...
On the work front, I'm getting bogged down in some statistics, which is so incredibly frustrating. I took two stats classes in college, which might suggest that I know something, but no. I think this stuff is just out of the undergrad-stats league, which really means that I'm frustrated that Emory/Tech doesn't have stats consultation services for labs. Seriously people, back me up here.
Regardless, I survived technical presentation #1 last week, so I'm looking forward to the potential of another one in November in DC. We'll see, but I'm optimistic.
Oh, and this week I made an amazing soup and some carrot-raisin-pecan cupcakes (from VCTOtW, of course). Yum! You're jealous.
