1.  Apparently, when I go a month with daily prompts to share I forget to look at my blog when it’s over!  I had a lot of fun during the October photo challenge.  I always want to share more what I see every day.  Lately, though, since I’m still not working, it consists of a lot of pictures of my cats.

see?

2.  I got myself a pretty new toy!

Yep, I am a proud owner of the new iPhone 4s!  It’s amazing, for sure.  It is so much faster than the 3Gs I was rocking, and the 8mp camera is awesome.  I take a lot of photos on my cell phone.  Siri is fun too.  I’m actually using the calendar on my phone these days, since scheduling on it is so easy.  Having to type appointments usually made me steer clear on my old phone.

3. Halloween was fun!  We had a bunch of little kids.  We passed out a few full sized candy bars, then switched to the fun sized stuff.  I’d estimate we had around 60-70 trick or treaters?  No punk-ass teenagers showed up with no costumes, which is good.  I would only give candy to older kids that showed up with a costume.  When the trick or treaters are older, I firmly believe that no costume = no candy.  Effort must be made!  Oh, I also loved our pumpkins this year!

heehee

4. I’m starting to get antsy.  However, I have no idea where I am supposed to start in order to remedy this.  It’s been a long time since I job hunted or interviewed.  I am pondering a lot of possibilities, so hopefully one of them pans out.

5.  I’ve been learning to knit while I am full of free time.  It’s actually been really fun!  So far, I’ve made a few scarves, and a doggy sweater.

made for my friend’s dog Sebastian

The doggy sweater was probably the most fun to make.  Scarves just take a long time and they get boring after awhile.  I modified a pattern I found on Ravelry.com to make the sweater.  I am considering whether he needs another one!  Next, I’m going to try to make a hat, and/or some amigurumi animals.  I’m liking the challenge of knitting projects.
