Long absence

It has been a long time...I have been somewhat busy, but not really. Mainly I have been really lazy, and there is nothing too exciting going on in my life right now. Tonight I take my first sewing class...its crazy that I am 32 and have no idea how to use a sewing machine. My mom tried to teach me when I was in 5th grade, but it didn't stick. Hopefully I get the hang of it this time ;)

Riley is doing ok right now. We have had a couple scares within the past month. She collapsed again at the end of September, and then again just a week ago, both times while playing. They have no idea why? There could be a several different reasons, one being that the cancer has spread to her brain? Or maybe a totally unrelated heart issue (her heart occasionally beats too fast and does not pump blood sufficiently). She is due for a recheck next week. Next weekend I will be participating in a walk here in town to raise money for cancer research, the organization raises money for comparative research, looking for possible causes (in both people and dogs).

Anyway...that's been pretty much it right now. The weather is turning here, the leaves are changing color and falling, it is time for me to get motivated again for some hat making ;)
