I got braces (something that I've need for a long time but I now can take care of especially now that I have a step 2nd cousin that is an orthodontist and has been helping me find good people to take care of my mouth). Have had them almost a month, used to them for the most part but eating can be soooo annoying!
Then there is my social life....honestly I don't have much of one but it has been busy for me....and I am in entirely new territory (a guy....). So there has been a bit more stress in that regards.....
In relation to my social life, I started working out with my friend/boss after work a few times a week. We want to be fit and trim ladies but neither of us is good on the whole working out unless we have someone to work out with. She is more into strength training than I am but with her doing it, I'll do it. I'll even do the sit ups.....I do like our pre-warm up on the bike. Get a fair amt of reading done.....
And with my reading--I started the Harry Potter books. I have read the first 4 this past month actually.....I want to buy the 5th (and of course 6th and last...) but haven't seen it. Could order but want now.....Anyway quite enjoying the series
And of course there are the kittens.....They are doing quite well and here are some very current pictures. Cute Blondie (one of two girls) with Tiger. She is the perfect kitten-playful sweet and cute. Felix is opposite in a quiet moment....In past posts he has been called Baby Boy but the name Felix popped in my head one morning (he's the one I'm keeping). He and Touble are the two trouble makers.... Normal Toes is below, the other girl. She is the shyest besides 
Tiger but is so sweet. She did stay long enough to have her picture taken then ran off and hid.
And lastly Mr Explorer and Touble....Went to the vet this morning to get health certificates for Touble and Tiger who are flying to WI with me next Thurs. (that was another big aspect going on lately that D-fly and I have been trying to figure out--she has noted some on her blog but all should work out! So both of us and Mom are quite relieved-almost had a panic attack over this--silly I know but have you looked at my month so far?! And of course I'm not that fond of traveling anyway.....'sigh')
And yes I have been knitting....been working on that shrug for the most part and I finished it! Not all that exciting--really just a rectangle but hey it will be nice and cozy come those cold desert nights.....Right now I am finishing up an afghan square but
the next big project I will be working on is a baby blanket. I started it for someone else but well there was some issues that arose b/t me and the mom to be.....it happened a few years ago and well the blanket got stowed away cause if I continued to knit it it would absorb bad vibes and a baby blanket doesn't need that but now there is someone else that I like well enough that I feel she deserves a hand knit item so I plan on finishing it for her. It s called Patchwork Pleasure and I have a pic below from the book (Our Best Knit Baby Afghans by Leisure Arts). Have about a third of it done when I put it away. I do know that it did go pretty quick once I got the rhythm of it goin. Its in a 
very pretty sage green-nice neutral baby color without being to
babyish....It is acrylic but its a nicer softer acrylic. If I was going to do one from the beginning I would use soy or bamboo...but hey I already started this one so oh well....Have a close up of the pattern stitch just for kicks.....
Okay I think that is all ...... That should get all of you up to speed and hopefully I will be a bit better next month.....

Ooh we'll get to see your braces. I have an extra #6 and we can stop at borders when you are here. I love that green for baby.
