Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you to all who have served and preserved our freedom.

Let's Try This Again

So much for the blog love. Let's try this again. Anyway, Facebook is no longer my friend. Since September I haven't played any games and it's been really nice. Some people are addicted to drugs and alcohol. I'm addicted to Facebook games. Not really. But that's a huge monkey off my back. I've been hanging out on Ravelry a lot. And I've been watching a lot of podcasts. And knitting a lot. And today I joined Plurk. Hopefully I can make posting here a regular thing again. Now if I can only figure out how to elongate and make my banner pretty?

Neglecting the Blog

Yeah, that's me. Neglecting the 'ole blog. I blame Facebook. I have spent obscene amounts of time surfing around FB and playing FarmVille and Treasure Isle and FrontierVille and well, you get the idea. Actually, I have spent less and less time interacting with people on FB. Number one reason is I can't stand the whining and vagueness that is posted as status updates. Number two reason is every time I post something trying to be moderately funny and light, I get picked on by my siblings. I hate lol and lmao and lack of good spelling habits. I think you get my drift. So I have decided to go back to the blog. There are WAY fewer readers than FB. But if you are going to take the time to find me and read this, then hopefully you aren't here to bust on me.

There's been lots of knitting and some crocheting, a camping trip, and planning for a fall trip. Pictures to follow.

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year! I hope to post a bit more this year than I did last year. While I don't make New Years resolutions, I do try to make improvements on myself and the world around me. We shall see. It's only the 4th and the boys only just went back to work and school making room for life to be a little more normal again. Christmas week is always topsy turvy with Pete home and the kids home and the boys' birthdays and this year having Dad here. So the utter quiet is a welcome change. Knitting has been little to none so I hope to remedy that. And I'd like to get to sewing more. I enjoyed making the Patchfolio for Jackie and know two more little girls who might like one.

WOOT and UGH

So Zach took his second driving test today and PASSED!!!! That gets a woot! Zach had the flu over the weekend and now Pete has it. Because Pete had his seasonal flu shot the beginning of October, we are assuming he has H1N1. That would be UGH!!!!!!!!! Is it a matter of time before I get it too? Time will tell. UGH!!!

Sorry, I just had to share.

Another Pair Of Socks
