More stitching

I think I'm pretty much out of Christmas

patterns at this point, but here are

two more.  I love the way the metallic

thread looks but it's a real pain to work 

with.  The candle card is my favourite.

The deer looks a little goofy to me.

The red is supposed to be his nose, but

he must have his head tipped way down

or something.  I am in love with the

antlers, though!!  They are just so pretty.

I went with my friend to pizza hut last night

and tried their chicken ceasar salad.  I wasn't

super enthralled with it.  The chicken was good.

The dressing was tart, but it was mostly

big spinach leaves and I'm not crazy about

those.  They could have had a bigger

mixture of greens.  I guess when you go to

pizza hut you should just have pizza!

B'Elanna was a pretty good therapy dog 

yesterday, surprisingly.  She's getting more 

used to my mother so she actually sat on her

lap for a while without much coercing.   Maybe

she was hoping there would be a few more

treats involved.  I gave them these treats that are

really soft and tiny so that she could have 

a few  rather than just one or two.  She's

very food oriented like most dogs.

Tomorrow is the next class "and beyond"

which is anything past first level.  So it 

will be interesting to see what it entails,

but nothing as scary as the interpreter prep,

I'm sure.  We are supposed to choose a 

Bible verse for the next interpreter class

and be able to interpret it.  I think I'm

going to do John 3:17.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to 

condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Simply put (the way I would interpret it anyway)

is "God not send son to world to judge but

to save."  Others might interpret it differently

but that's how I plan to do it.     I think that

pretty much covers the meaning of the verse.
