Silhouette Obsession
I have been obsessed with achieving a particular design for my Silhouette. I know exactly what I want to do, but for the life of me, I can't get the software to do it. Friday I emailed support and they emailed back. However, their instructions weren't complete since it still didn't do what I wanted. I had to bide my time all.weekend.long before I could call support today. They just called back. The support guy didn't know how to do what I wanted, but we both fiddled around with it on the phone and finally got it. While it's great that the company has a support line that can be emailed or called, the tech was not the best I've ever had. He clearly was working on a PC, but didn't ask if I was working on a PC or a Mac. I knew to translate his PC instructions to the equivalent instructions for a Mac, but I'm guessing the average user would have been very confused. Nonetheless, I'm very pleased. My obsession with this is ridiculous, but I really, really wanted to do it! It's part of a handmade gift for one of the FB-handmade-exchange project.
Avery fun
Yesterday morning, Avery and I went to play a round of miniature golf. She's very good about not getting frustrated and not picking up the ball and just throwing it in the hole. She just keeps trying, which is such an awesome trait/skill/desire. We also rode on the bumper boats, but that came to an end when our bumper boat lost power and stranded us by the water fall thereby getting us a bit wet. Avery didn't like that at all.
Yesterday afternoon we're went to Director Park to watch the Oregon Ballet rehearse The Nutcracker. Avery had a great time playing with Josie (Amber and her gang were able to meet us there) in the fountain, despite the fact the fountain wasn't on. When Josie left, Avery attached herself to a small group of girls and put on a ballet show with them.
RHG's shower
Christie and I hosted a baby shower for RHG and little g3 on Sunday. I was running a bit behind (shocker), so it was good that Christie and Amber showed up early. I quickly put both to work and we managed to pull off lunch without too much going wrong. Always a good thing.
I made some pathetic bibs for RHG. Actually, I think they're quite functional, but aesthetically pleasing? Not at all.
Workout Snag
I hit a snag in my workout plan last week. You see, my goal was to go workout three times, each time after dropping Avery off at school. That doesn't work so well when you only have one pair of workout shorts. So for this week, I bought two more pairs of shorts so I only have to do laundry once a week.
This morning's workout was good. I'm increasing my time each week by just a few minutes so I don't notice it as much. It's not so much physical stamina as mental stamina. I have to ease myself into these things.
By the time September rolls around, I hope to have a good habit formed so I can then start going five times a week.
