That Girl Caitlin

I don’t know where the heck I’ve been. Well, I’ve been right here actually. I haven’t really been on the internet lately. I guess that’s a good thing and a bad thing. Student teaching is still going well. It’s not done until May 2nd and even though sometimes it drains me I really think I picked the right profession. Besides this, nothing new is really happening in my life. How have you all been? Tell me what’s been going on in your lives!

So I finally got this knitting thing down. Well, not all of it but I can actually make something that looks like… something! As my first project, I am making a scarf. There are lots of mistakes but practice makes perfect, right?

Close up! Don’t look at the mistakes or the mess.

My cat thought I was going to let her play with yarn.
She came running over and sat in the picture!

Today I have a bad stomach ache. I hope it goes away soon. I don’t want to miss any days of student teaching.

So, I’m up to a total loss of 14 pounds on my diet. I’m so excited. This is actually working and it’s put me in such a better mindset. It was such a great choice for me to join Nutrisystem. I love it. I’m getting my next month’s worth of food this week, too. I ordered some new things this month so we’ll see how it goes!

I did get that yarn yesterday and some knitting needles. I’m very keen to start knitting. I learned the basics yesterday and then decided to take a break because I was getting mad and wanted to throw the needles. So instead of poking my eye out, I decided to try again tomorrow. Hopefully soon I will be showing off a nice scarf that I will have made. That’s going to be my first project.

I don’t have much else to say. What a boring life I’ve come to lead.
