Spring has sprung - finally!

I LOVE when the flowers start blooming in my garden, but must admit I am a warm weather gardner... don't look too close because it hasn't been warm enough to get out and clean up the beds yet... hopefully tomorrow when I am off and it should be 80! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Busy having fun.....

Was asked to be a Test Knitter - kinda fun they also asked for a name idea - my suggestion was Y KNOT....
sorry it's a little dark used some leftover purple....

Venting....

I have heard that some people spend a fortune on a therapist, some use their ministers, some keep their thoughts to themselves till they explode. I am going to quickly vent and then hopefully move on....
The world today is full of way tooooo many self centered - selfish people. The people I am referring to have college educations so we are not looking at some dumb schmoos (sp?)., These people are only happy when they can be the center of attention and are so immature and selfish that they cannot see how they may be hurting people and that it may be a decision that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. These people need to realize they are not going to be able to control everyone around them and that they need to go with the flow.....
I know you may be totally confused, but I feel better and after all it's MY blog and I'll add the therapist savings to my summer travel fund :)

Getting ready for the big event!

I found MY gown to compliment THE gown. I'm very happy with how it worked out, LOVE the color, LOVE that no alterations were needed and it was selected and tried on and purchased in under 10 minutes! When you know what you like and it fits and looks good, go for it - right?

Love that guy!

What I've been doing....

Sorry I haven't updated lately, but I have two other blogs and some major programs I had been working on. (also two jobs, more snow to shovel and a house that seems to be needing some attention.... a wonderful unexpected visit from a childhood friend(it was THE best thing to happen to me so far in this year!) and the normal every day rat race stuff in between)
The blogs are from work - one for the family history people www.rootcellar.blogspot.com and one for the creative friends who have recently invaded the room... www.rootcellarknit.blogspot.com

In the last month I have taught 12 new knitters - from the beginning and one little 8 year old how to purl - her aunt taught her how to knit but ran out of time to teach her to purl (quoted from Olivia) anyway it's been kinda fun. I got my own projects out and finished a few, made a half dozen hats or so for the baby project and then finished one afghan and have a good start on another, made a couple pair of slippers - one for me and I LOVE them, will have to post photo - chunky bulky yarn half wool and they are nice and toasty warm!

Have been looking for a dress for this special event I heard I will be invited to in July, and the peeps that are throwing the party are pretty awesome so I have to find the perfect apparell. The hostess has the most beautiful gown, and the host looks awesome in a tux (I've seen past photos of that!) so wish me luck!

I had my taxes figured this week, always a laugh.... "so is this all the income? don't you have any interest income?..." The good news is I'm getting a small amount back but the best news is I don't owe them ANYTHING!

Well I will try to get some more news on here soon, but know I am well, and busy and with that pretty much staying out of trouble, hopefully I will have time for some fun soon !

BRRRRRRRRRRRR- Snow - a 4 letter word that's overused lately!

I went home at lunch to dig out the driveway if the snowplow had made a pass, and he did so got to dig out the end, and move the last 3/4" off from after I went to work.

We had at least 5" last night and added to the already - too much we had before, I am running out of room. As you cn see it's getting harder to get it high enough to get it off the driveway! The street end is up to my shoulders, so let's hope it thaws sometime before June 1! It's already difficult to see to get out on the street.

Will try to take another photo from the street.....
