Yay! I'm readin' again!

I get emails from the library of new books they've recieved, and I became interested in books from the author Christopher Moore. Yeah, I know, I'm a HUGE nerd if I get emails from the library, but really, books are expensive!!!
So, back to my story. Instead of reading his new book, I checked out his older book called Bloodsucking Fiends. Oh, man, It is hilarious! It's about a woman who gets bitten by a vampire in San Fran, and becomes one. Really, it is funny. I haven't been able to put it down all weekend.
I am resuming my sister's now late Christmas sock. I call it the Sesame Street sock because of the colors. When I finish, I'll post it. Whenever that will be. I joined a sock knit along on yahoo groups, and I am afraid it starts tomorrow. I'll just have to put Angie's sock aside....just kiddin'.You know me! I can do a million things at once!!!

Another lazy weekend

I love the weekends. Relaxing is my middle name right now.
Yesterday I finished my hat, I'll post pictures later. I also finished yet another wash cloth. I should put on my links list monthlydishcloths yahoo group. I love the knitting the monthly dishcloths (I like to call them washcloths b/c I don't use them for dish washing all the time. I enjoy my own dishwasher!). It is a fun project that goes by quickly. I picked up my cabled scarf and am trying to stay dedicated to it so I can finally finish it. It is so beautiful, I must say. It is just taking me FOREVER to finish. And the sad thing about it is that I am not even half way through and I started it last year. Really, a year to the month!
I spent the morning reading Eragon. I like it because I like the genre, but it really hasn't pulled me in completely yet. I don't really feel moved or excited about it. I think the characters are lacking something. But then again, the kid that wrote it was a kid...does that make sense? Anyway, I will finish it just to finish it and let you know what i think. My friend Courtney told me that the second book is much better, so I am looking forward to getting to it.
Well, today I plan to start up running/jogging/walking again, if I can get lazy Ferrell off his butt. Heehee!

It's been awhile....

Yes, it sure has. Lots have happened, or haven't happened, you pick. We didn't get to go to Denver for Christmas because of the dreaded blizzard, so we were the left-behinds. It ended up not being so bad, because everyday I either spent it with my sis, or with friends. Dave and Erica came down from Buffalo which was totally cool. Vickie came down with her new baby Wyatt (I missed Bill, he came and went rather quickly..). I also spent a day with Natasha and her baby Nolan. All these babies!!! Courtney and Fred visited also, and she's preggers with baby Grace.
It was a lot of fun chatting with everyone. So you can see how busy i've been!
So as far as my knitting has gone since my last blog, I've finished a few wash cloths, Ferrell's socks, one of Angie's socks, Bonnie's hat, and I think that is it. It sure took me forever though! Right now I am working on my own hat, and mom's retro apron. I am starting up a knitting group at LPE! One of our aides asked me how I made my pocket scarf, so I showed her how to do a basic one and she caught on so fast! She ended up teaching her friend and now they want to know more! I'm so excited! We now have 5 people who want to join! Yay!
