After a quiet Thursday night of knitting and watching Buffy with the kids, what could be better than curling up with my blog nestled on my lap? Yeah, the laptop is working like a dream. Ahhhh.

Knitting is pretty cool, too. My shawl-to-be is starting to actually look like something. It’s so surprising to see a pattern emerge from just knit, purl, repeat. Like magic. I’m astounded that it works. The piece is 90 stitches across, and I have about two inches or so done. Only 60 more to go.

This morning Pete and I met with Peter’s teacher, and were a little surprised to discover that he’s been handing in his work and behaving well in class. Who knew? Daresay this was the best parent-teacher conference ever.

Tomorrow we meet with Moon’s teacher. And it’s my day off, and the beginning of a wonderful weekend.
