What are you thankful for

Skiing

I am not much of a downhill skier, but I love cross country skiing.  Sometimes I go with some friends on the trails that are in the area and it is SUPER fun.  Today, I took the dog around the field a time or two.  She was sore when we were done, but she was grinning the whole time from ear to ear. So here we are starting out on our skiing mission.  What is your winter activity that you like to do!!!

Trying to work the needle

So I have been wanting to learn how to knit for a while because I want to start making blankets.  But I haven't figured out how to do the second row.  I have not clue.  First row check.... Second row falls a part every time I try to put in the second row, what am I doing wrong?  I have watched many, many, many, U Tube videos but they go so fast I just can't pick it up.  I might have to admit I am a slow learner.  Ouch that really hurt to say.  Does any one out there know how to knit the second, third, forth and so on rows of stitching so I can get this started and maybe complete one before I am 50 or so.  LOL.  I guess I might just have to watch another couple of U tube videos to get the whole scoop.  Maybe it would help if I wouldn't get frustrated half way through the video.  Any who could someone help out someone in need.  Post me a video or just explain it in GREAT detail how to get another row started. Would totally appreciate it!  Thanks Peeps

Childrens books

I was just looking on E Bay and came across these children's books that I decided to purchased for 99 cents. Yes I purchased all five children's books for 99 cents.  I think that was a steal of a deal so I purchased them.  They finally came in today and they still have the shrink wrap on three of the five books that I purchased. So three of them are still brand spanking new.  Awesome deal!!.  I am so happy that I came across this wonderful deal.  It is truly exciting when you find a good deal and it is worth purchasing.  I am just glad that when we finally have children we can read to them out of our first collection of children's books.  The books that I have purchased are Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales, Winnie the Pooh, Disney Animal Stories, Disney's Classic Story Book, and Disney's Storybook Collection.  Do you think this was a good deal?  I know books are going out because of the new technology but I am not ready to move on when I find a good deal.

Creativity

This past weekend I went to the fabric store and found this really cute quilt for baby.  I know, I do not have a baby but we are trying so that has to count for something. So I am not completely losing it and  I am not totally jumping the gun!  I just want to be ahead of the program. So anyways,  I saw this quilt and I thought it was the cutest thing so I just had to buy it.  I do not believe it is impulse shopping or anything.
My plan for this beautiful quilt is to dig out my sewing machine and sew the border on the edging and maybe even do some stitch work on the quilt.  I do have a sewing machine that I bought brand new 2 years ago.  I think I only used it one time and decided I wasn't interested in it anymore.  Yeah, I know what a waste of valuable cash flow.  I am finally going to wipe the dust off it and start making baby quilted blankets.  I think they will look cute as a button. So I will sew on the pink border around the edging of the blanket and then, we will see what other creativity I come up with.  If I never have a baby, maybe I will make these and sell them on E Bay, who really knows with me! Wish me luck as I wipe the cobwebs off my sewing machine and start a creative way to let time pass!

Bloggers block

I have been lost for words lately, I am  not sure what to blog about.  I have always liked sitting in my study and blogging but after November and what Dale and I went through I have been finding it harder and harder to blog about happy things.  I am however, going to start blogging at least 3 -4 times a week, even if it is something that has no meaning at all. I just need to do it.  
I have started a new position at where I work and absolutely love it.. It is great.  I know...I  know... Boring..
My news year resolution... I would have to say ...... to forgive quicker.  I am the kind of person who holds grudges and I do not want to be that person anymore.  I am so sick of being that kind of person!  I need to finally look past the hurt people have caused me in my life and just learn to forgive them. If I can accomplish that this year, I know I can accomplish many great things.  I will start slow and work things out before they get too hurtful.  What is your News Years Resolution.. Oh and yes I know its a little late, but its never too late to change something in your life that needs a little attention!
