Busy, Busy, Busy

This week has FLOWN by!  I think part of the reason is that I’ve been faithfully doing my water class – so that changes the flow of our day.  After everyone else leaves for school, I’ve been working for TOS then going to my class and J2 goes for a walk with Grandpa.  They usually walk the mall and it has included a treat each day – sort of defeating the purpose!  Then I’m home and we get lunch.  After lunch we’ve been doing school – we are both looking foward to two weeks off!

Then I’ve been knitting.  A lot.  I am about 1/2 done with two hats at once for the charity knitting – but DH wants one of them so I need to knit one more this weekend.  The deadline is Tuesday night.  I. will. not. fail!  I’ve been resisting the urge to cast on anything new – but darn I want to knit some of that lace!  I’ve got the yarn.  I’ve got the book.  I’ve got the needles.  I’ve even joined a KAL or Two.  And, my hands are itching to do it!  BUT, I’m going to show restraint and…

1) Finish these hats for charity

2) Finish the purple socks

3) Tink and fix the sweater and finish it

…all before I start ANYTHING new.  (sigh) I’m being so good I’m sick of myself! 😉

OH! And, I joined The Knitting Guild Association (TKGA) yestday!  And, I’m praying about whether or not to start the Master Knitting Program.  I was thinking not to tell anyone that I was trying it – because if I fail, then no one can give me a hard time or nag me about whether or not I’m doing it.  (Why do people feel required to do that?? And, why do I have people like that in my life??  Another topic for another day!)

AAAANNNNYWAY,  that’s my boring life in a nutshell lately.  Well, add laundry, dishes, cooking and THAT’s my boring life!  Sooooo thankful for podcasts and audiobooks while I knit!  No more icky television – well, except Mythbusters – new one last night was great!

Prayer Request for my Aunt

by ⋅ 4 Comments

Received this request in my email today..

Hi Everyone,
I don’t know any easy way to say it, so I am just going to say it.  Mom has breast cancer, she will have a lumpectomy on January 4th, it is small (9mm) and otherwise she is in good health … i.e. good cholestrol, good blood pressure.  It was caught early as Mom is very good about keeping her health in check.  She is being very positive, as Mom always does, and I “know” she will be fine, but please pray!  If praying is not your thing, please just “think” her good thoughts!
If you’ve been touched by cancer – either your own or someone else’s – please join us in praying for my Aunt Sharene.

Christmas Parade

by ⋅ 2 Comments

Ever since J2 joined Cub Scouts he’s been very excited about the Christmas Parade! He’s wondered how it would go and who would watch him. Well, today was the big day. Sadly – only his brothers and parents were there to see his big moment! 🙁 And, it was cold and rainy. Here some pics from our day:

Before we left the house – he was in a heavy coat and had a poncho in his pocket in case of rain. One hour later – here’s what I get! No coat…no poncho! ARGH! We are trying to stay well!!! Silly boy!
