Success!

Yay! The Aloette party went way better than I thought it would! I totally thought I'd have too few people show up and that nobody would buy anything and then that would be sad. BUT I think I had 9 people, and altogether they all spent over $500! So that's awesome! I am definitely surprised. Especially because I told people they didn't have to buy anything if they didn't want to lol. But it was fun, and I'm glad I did it.

I also "debuted" my brand new sweater. I spent about a week or so knitting it and sewing buttons on it and so on and so forth, and last night I wore it to my party. I actually had a bunch of knitters there and they were all very impressed! Mostly because they were older ladies and didn't expect a 22 year old like myself to be a knitter lol. Right now, I'm not ENTIRELY happy with the sweater, so I have a few adjustments to make. It's wearable, but I don't think it's at the state yet where I can call it properly finished and be satisfied with it. Once it's done, I will post a picture, but I'm not sure when that will be.

Today I'm back to work again, and it's snowing out. Boring! But the good news is that I'm starting to get a little better at the exercising, I think. Push-ups don't hurt as much, and I'm not in as much pain the next day, so that's exciting. My sister Linnie invited me to this thing she goes to. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but from what she was saying it SOUNDS like $5 boxing lessons. Which would be really neat. I told her I would definitely go to that with her when I get the days off.

Now the next thing to look forward to on my schedule (besides going to the Aloette parties that THREE of the girls at my show booked!) is the chainmail gathering in Guelph. It's March 15-16 this year. I went last year and had a blast, so I'm definitely looking forward to going again. Dave and I are probably going to book a hotel room for the night in between. Last year we stayed in a hotel, but it was a surprise for Dave, so I paid all of it. This year we're going to split the cost. Excited!!
