The Stitch

I'm swamped with orders, as usual, so I'll just give you a list of all Piper-type news:

* We went to French and Indian War reenactment last weekend at Fort Ontario and it was FABULOUS! I'll post pictures soon.

* Brian went to the doctor yesterday and he is officially healed. No more back brace, and he can mow the lawn again!

* This weekend is my high school class reunion and a family reunion for my Dad's side of the family. However, I've heard that it's supposed to thunderstorm all weekend.

* Yesterday I went upstairs to check on Elizabeth while she was supposed to be napping. She was looking at Good Ole Snoopy, pointing at her rear, yelling (explaining?), "BUTT, BUTT, BUTT!"

* Just one more week and I'll be able to start treating my rosacea. My OBGYN explained that the prescription given to me to treat my face is listed as safe for use during the entire pregnancy, but she said if I wanted to be extra, extra careful, I could wait until the second trimester to take it. So I've waited, just to be safe, and next week I can begin treatment. I've had to stay inside so much this summer because of it, that I feel like a bit of a hermit. Tthe sun causes major problems with the outbreaks. I always wear my hair in a ponytail (because even when I don't have outbreaks, loose hair makes my sensitive face itch), but with this outbreak, it's gotten to the point where one little hair tickling my face causes hours of itching and redness. (even thinking about it is making me itch! ICK!) JUST ONE MORE WEEK! YAY!!!!!!

* Baby names: I like Emily, Sabrina, Adam, Julian. Brian likes none of them.

* Order status: I am completely on schedule. Orders are all arriving by the requested delivery dates. We are currently booked through to the end of October. If you have a simple peasant order, we will be able to meet early October deadlines, but only for a limited time. Our schedule is filling up VERY quickly because of Halloween, so if you have an event before Halloween, you need to order now, before it's too late.

* If you like creepy books, read "The Ruins." I loved it!

* It's the weekend. YAY! IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
