MySpace Surveys, Bebo and MySpace Codes by Pulseware Survey Software

Well, I just joined Saturday Sky also. Had a little trouble
getting it in the right place on my blog. Of course the
html for it is at the bottom of the things on the right. Such
is life. One of these days I will have to learn html.

Went to my knitting guild last night. We had a class on
Knit to Fit. Changing patterns to fit where dimensions of pattern
don't fit dimensions of person for which you are knitting. Now,
translating what I learned into something knitted will be interesting.
Not sure I am ready for that yet.

Have not been knitting lately. Need to get back into it. I'm a
tad busy with CYLC, or Change Your Life Challenge. The online
book has 70 days of info. You read one day at a time. Today
I will be on day 15. Let's see, a friend gave me the html to highlight
a URL. Will have to look it up and see what I can do. If I find it,
will post the URL for CYLC if your interested in my next post.

Let's see, will have to take a pic of the sky tomorrow and post it.

So, haven't been kniting lately.

Forgotten

Yes, I forgot. I posted all about my secret pal box of goodies, and
forgot to tell you that in the card she sent, she told me she's making
me a Harry Potter scarf, but ran out of yarn. So when she finishes she
will send it to me. Isn't she a sweetie?

We went out to dinner tonight. Went to the McDonalds near here that just
reopened after getting redone. Looks very nice now. Food is the same though.

We thought we might rent a movie tonight. But, couldn't find any worth watching.
Suppose it is Friday night, and most of the good movies were all ready checked
out.

By the way, I like Harry Potter books and movies. Silly me.

So, not knitting yet.
Look what I got today.
It's from my Secret Pal, who's name is Crystal.




Here's the things that were in the box, before I opened each of them.



And here they are all opened.



She gave me so many nice things. The big book, is a Crossword Puzzle Dictionary. She made a cute cover for it, and it says, 'Magic Spell Book'. Cute. There is a skein of 100% Wool, and lots of Kool Ade to dye it with. She also put a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans in it too. Oh, there's a card too, in which she tells me her name is Crystal. I all ready know she lives in North Carolina. Check out her blog at www.shadkitty.blogspot.com. Sorry, I don't know HTML so don't know how to make that clickable.

Anyway, Our knitting Guild is having a class on Kool Ade Dying in our October meeting. So now I have some yarn to try the dying with.

I guess I told Crystal that I do crossword puzzles, and that dictionary will sure help.

Haven't been knitting still. Silly me. Spend my free time reading lately. Will pick up that dishcloth one of these days.

So, haven't been knitting.

No knitting this week, been busy reading. Silly me.
No pictures either, it's late. The West End Fair
is this week. Hubby and I went on Monday night. The
parking lot was muddy, since it rained Sunday when it
first opened. Luckily it didn't rain while we were
there. I had worn my sandals, which was the wrong
thing. My feet were quite sore by the time we went
home. I looked for my cousin at the Craft tent. They
do wooden crafts. It's about the only time I get to
see her. Wouldn't you know she wasn't there on Monday
night, her hubby was minding the store. Thought I would
go today, but it was raining, so didn't. We'll see what
it does tomorrow. Actually the fair is about the same
every year. But we always go at least once every year.

Gee, I am tired, and should head to bed. More next time.

So, haven't been knitting.

Hi all,

Sorry it's taken me so long to post. Silly me.

We went away this past weekend. Went down to Baltimore to visit our son, Ben and his wife, Denise. We parked in front of their house after visiting the Baltimore National Aquarium which was great. Anyway, Friday night, someone broke the rear side window in my hubby's Subaru Outback. We had gotten dressed to go somewhere Saturday morning. I got in, and hubby walked around the back of the car to get in, when he said "OH NO!" I looked back and the window was in thousands of little pieces sort of still hanging in the frame. Of course when he slammed the back door some of the glass fell out. So, we had to call Ben, as they had left before us, and we had locked the door on the way out. So, he got a ride back, and we called Insurance and they found a place in Baltimore for us to get it fixed. Then, he called the place and got an appt. for 12:30 that afternoon. Ben went with him. We have a $500 deductible and wouldn't you know the window, which had an antenna in it, cost $498. Such fun.

Later that day, we took Ben and Denise out to dinner. We walked to the restaurant which turned out to be a Western type. The decorations were eclectic from hanging pine cones, to Album covers for the menu. Also Chinese lanterns, etc. I ended up having a BBQ Burger. It was pretty good.

Saturday night, luckily, the car was ok. We went to church in Baltimore. Then we went back to their house, changed our clothes, ate some lunch and then went home.

I did some knitting on that washcloth. Did I tell you that I frogged it all and restarted it. So did maybe two 12 row repeats while I was there. Can't knit too long at a time or the Carpal tunnel acts up.

Promise to write more often, and put some pics up next time.

So, I've been knitting

Book Meme

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

"Writer W.M. Lewis said, "The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it." So many of us have wasted so much of our vital energy talking about the great life we could have or will have or should have. All that is fine, but it will not deliver us the best year of our lives."

Well, the title of that book is in the 3 line quote. Take a guess and leave me a comment. Also, you are tagged for the book meme.

So, I've been knitting, frogging, knitting.
