The cunning hat is going amazingly well. It's a wicked easy pattern, I guess because the hat is supposed to look kind of shoddy and simple. I figured out how to pick up stitches all by my lonesome and I've only got one ear flap and the pom pom left and then it'll be done! Man, is it ugly.

Took the munchkin to see March of the Penguins over the weekend. It was... a movie about penguins mating. I mean, it was all right, but I guess all the hype led me to believe that it was this amazingly spectacular and engrossing documentary, whereas it seemed like just your standard nature docu to me. The penguins were cute and all, but I'm not sure why it's so outrageously popular. *shrug*

The munchkin started second grade today, but I picked her up early to take her to her appointment at the sports medicine clinic. Turns out one of her sprains is actually a tiny little fracture, but it's so small that the only thing to do for it is to restrict her participation in certain activities, like gymnastics and roller skating and bike riding.
