The Phones and an Owl

Hey there,
Yesterday the phones went down for half the day at work so I was answering very random calls for a while, then they came back up and my stats were abysmal, from the report anyway. Still managed to do almost as many as Friday in an hour less (we couldn't get calls for an hour) which is seriously weird. I give up trying to work it out at times. Hubby says if I get fired he'll still love me. Don't think they are going to fire me though...
Today was fab because I only worked 9-13.30 then slunk off for my Doctor's appointment. Yaaaaas. I am reading a great book at the moment, the second in the Dresden files by Jim Butcher, 'Fool Moon'. Nothing like humourous fantasy to cheer you up of a train journey. (I commute an hour a day and walk for about the same amount of time all in. Ten hour days take it out of me. Moan moan moan).
Been watching more Bones season II this evening and have started crocheting an Owl for my MIL. Hope it is going to turn out ok, already seeing one side looks more sharply decreased than the other but I think I can remedy that later. Have started with a mottled brown chunky yarn on a 4mm hook and it seems not to be looking too holey (so no stuffing should show through). Chuck is still going to stay with us as he has a lame foot, I don't think MIL should have to nurse him. Wonder what she will call this owl. Wonder if I'll get it ready in time for seeing MIL a week on Saturday? We have a lovely pressie for her we got from our Honeymoon in Malta and we will take it with us to Cork as her late Birthday pressie.
Realised the other day that I never gave my dad his Father's day gift last time he was over, but he had forgotton too so it was ok ;) Wonder if I'll ever get my wee cuz's jumper finished for her upcoming birthday? Starting to panic a bit about it. Must set aside some time for those dratted picked up stitches that need doing...
I need a new range of clothes. I've decided it is time for a makeover. Hubby and I have also pledged to blitz the house after our hols. Hmmm, we shall see ;)

Toodles for now!
