I've been one-upped!

Interrupting the blog drought...
On Wednesday, I had a pretty low-key day planned. A whole lot of nothing. I had just gotten a converter David ordered that I needed in order to make my American tv play in color and in the right size through the British cable system. I called for reinforcements from David's future office (and bribed them with a homecooked meal) to come hook it all up on Tuesday. So I was looking forward to just enjoying color tv on Wednesday. I have a hard time just sitting and watching tv, so I wanted to make something... slippers. I didn't want to knit slippers. I wanted to crochet them! I tuned-up my limited crochet skills while I was home in Feb/March and crocheted a baby blanket. (Maybe I'll share pictures when I finally have home internet). But when I made that, I had my mom there to start me off and show me what to do. No such luck here, so I had to do them all by myself! I made one slipper on Wednesday. It looks like a slipper. It just doesn't look like one of my slippers. Finished the other one on Thursday and they match, but they're a bit too big... might even be too big for David (don't think he'd wear them anyway since they are pink, pink and pink!). But you know what? They're slippers and I made them in two days! I was so proud of myself...
And then on Thursday afternoon, David called me. He had excellent news! He made Master Sergeant. That's pretty special because it was his first time testing and not a whole lot of people make it as fast as he has! He won't get promoted until July 2010, but it's still exciting...even though it makes my slipper-making seem less momentous!

I'm really hoping that I'll get home internet soon. Step 2 in the 3-step process is happening on Tuesday. Don't know when step 3 will happen!
