Winter has not let go of Eastern PA as yet. Cold, and extremely windy today. When I walked the dog I wore with my coat, a scarf, mittens, and hat. Thought I was done with those things for this time of year. Wasn't Spring started just this weekend? Oh well, such is life.

I have been working on the granddaughter's sweater. It's worked from sleeve to sleeve. Got the first sleeve the right length and next thing is to add the stitches for the front and back.

Been learning to life weights. I had gone to Curves for a year and a month, but then decided I wasn't getting in any better shape as the machines stayed the same. So now to move on to weight lifting. Found a gym today by looking in the telephone books and it's very close to here which is great. Need to call and make appointment to tour the place. I have been lifting dumb bells but that's not as safe as machines. I've been reading Power of 10 which is the slow lifting of weights.

Hope it warms up here in this neck of the woods soon.

So, I've been knitting.

Went to the Doctor on Friday afternoon to get the ear wax taken out of my right ear. Had to wait in the waiting room for an hour and a half. Good thing I took my knitting and got quite a few rows done while waiting on the baby sweater. Turns out I was next to the last to be taken into the examining room. And the last one to leave that afternoon at 6 PM. Only car in the parking lot. Well, one good thing was that I got a lot of knitting done. Sure was frustrating to see others being called in while I was still sitting there. So be it.

Think I will go get one of those Sourdough hard pretzels I bought a big thing of yesterday.

So, I knitted.

I am getting frustrated. Wrote this several times and can't seem to get it published.

Well, I am knitting again. Worked on the hat band quite a bit for the last week or so. Then last night I started a sweater for my granddaughter again. This time I'm knitting it in a size she will be in the fall, so it just may fit her when she needs it. They do live in Texas.

Went to the audiologist yesterday. My hearing is getting worse, but he things it might be wax, so I need to go to my doctor to get them washed out. Such fun. He says my loss is probably genetic.

We had snow yesterday morning, but it melted by noon. Nice thing about March.

So, I've been knitting.

The ice on the driveway was almost gone, and then today it snowed. All day this really light snow fell, and we got about 2+ inches in on the drive. Glad we have all wheel drive cars.

Tomorrow is my birthday and so we went out to eat tonight at a Steak House as hubby has to go out to a meeting tomorrow night. Got packages from my Parents and my daughter. Very nice. Will have fun opening them tomorrow.

My parents called me tonight and sang me Happy Birthday. Mom's doctor put her on the South Beach Diet to bring her triglyserides down or something. She's complaining because she's lost too much weight. Wish I had that trouble.

Well, my knit hat has been sitting in the bag with nothing done to it lately. One of these days I should pick it up and work on it. The part I am at I have to look at the directions as it's busy and I prefer mindless knitting I guess. Silly me.

So, no knitting lately.

Computer woes. Was trying to solve my computer slowdown, and accidentally erased something that was crucial to windows. It told me to do a restore. Well that was a mistake as it really screwed up the computer. I started deleting things off the computer as the Windows CD said there was no room. Deleted everything I could and it still wouldn't load, so I finally figured out how to format the drive. It took 3 days, but I'm finally back online.

Our driveway is quite icy. There are places on the downpart (we live on hill) which are dry, but up top and around the house it is very icy. It's been so cold it has not had a chance to melt since early this week when it happened. No fun.

No knitting lately, but that is about to change.

Ice this time. We've had 2 inches of ice on the driveway the last couple days. Last night we got a little snow, and now freezing rain. Maybe we'll have lots more ice, who knows. I have an all wheel drive vehicle, but going down our 1/10 mile hill of a driveway is no fun. At least we can get back up.

Been procratinating on my knitting lately. I read a book, and took a class called Getting Things Done. I liked the ideas in it, and am working on being better in the procrastinating thing.

So, no knitting lately.

Snow! We got over 8 inches overnight. Good day to stay at home and knit. Still working on the hat, as I haven't gotten to work on it much lately. Hubby said it was slow going with the snow blower due to that much snow. Guess I'll creep out later to go to the post office. They didn't clear the roads early as schools were closed today and no school buses needed to drive it.

So, I'll knit today.
