Time to finish up and move on to knitting a few hats for the kdis and blanket squares, and dolls.

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m wondering how everyone&#39;s addressing the H1N1 issue.
<br>
DD may have already gone through it, according to her childcare provider.  A few weeks ago she threw up once at daycare, so I brought her home, but she
didn&#39;t throw up again and seemed fine - her usual self.  She had a slight fever for a day, but all in all, nothing dramatic.  I just learned that a LO in

			<description><![CDATA[ Greetings!!!
<br>
<br>
Our theme this issue is truly one close to my heart. I loooove being grateful. I just love it. I write my &#39;grateful fors&#39; daily, I say them out loud. I
believe 100% wholeheartedly that what we put out attracts more of the same energy and being grateful for all I am, all I have, all that is - is important to
me.
<br>
<br>
So having the theme &quot;Grateful&quot; as our issue right now pleases me greatly. Not only does it please me to read all the amazing articles... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Tonight I successfully threw DH a surprise party!  It was a miracle that I pulled it off.  I am terrible at keeping surprises because I get very excited about
them.
<br>
However, I also won tickets to see his favourite band this weekend (5th row no less), so I was able to cover up my excitement over the party with that.
<br>
I also managed to finish his birthday mittens last night - the ones I started last winter... the double knit Space Invaders mittens I designed.  He loves them
and has... ]]></description>

<br>
I&#39;ve been stringing soaked maize kernels for the last several days trying to use up the supplies from last weekend&#39;s Autumn Equinox celebration for
kids.  I tried to give away as much as I could of the kernels, but there was still more! And only 9 ears of corn.
<br>
I&#39;ve got bracelets for my nieces, necklaces for friends, a long random string just to use up as much as I could... for decoration...... ]]></description>
