I absolutely cannot stand to knit on the Tina shawl any more. A quick dig though my knitting basket shows that I have quite a few WIP's that need some attention in the mean time. So I've dug out Edgeblad Doily for a little while. It took me nearly 20 minutes to figure out where I left off (Note to Self: Remember to mark your stopping point on the pattern). I'm enjoying it!
The only bad part, the mercerized cotton makes my hands hurt some.
I also got my order from Knit Picks. I bought a bunch of the Options Needles. Holy Cow, these things are sharp! I luv 'em! I like my points like deadly weapons. 
I also bought another lace shawl pattern (this isn't the greatest picture. It's inspired by a doily), lace weight yarn, and sock yarn to knit Cable Net.
Yesterday I chaperoned my son's Kindergarten field trip to the Rochester Fire Department station house. We walked there, and about one block from the station house we hear sirens, and the trucks go blazing past! Luckily, they returned quickly (a false alarm) and we continued our tour. They sure are nice guys. The class (with fuzzed faces, since I don't have the parent's permission to post).
Unfortunately for the mom's, the firefighters weren't particularly hunky. Bummer.
The ladybugs are migrating. I find them everywhere. There was one in my shower this morning. She ended up washing down the drain. Sorry buggy.
I hadn't seen the doily site before - thanks for the link!
