WHERE does the time go?

I am making this a short post as I really have things to do ...gotta do laundry (a never ending cycle) must work on the first of the hats for the kids- i have the first 2 inches of the 5 I need to get done for the body before I decrease and did I mention it's a stocking hat?...I have been letting myself get disracted by the lure of the computer and the internet...for now all my random questions or thoughts can be researched in an instant as well as checking email and my Facebook page...Sooo, I now have to go and feed the critters before Maisy pokes me to death!

Didn't sleep at all last night

I had a bad night last night....sick as a dog (why do we say that?)...must have been something I ate, but it lasted for about 4-5 hours, and today, well, let's just say I'm not feeling up to snuff today. I have kept down what I ate today...keeping it bland, just in case.
I do have a couple of knitting projects in the works...well, 4 hats and 2 scarves and trying to finish the shawl that I began for myself. I may have made a boo-boo in my thinking. Well see. Gonna go now and get the laundry finished and have a little chicken and rice.

WIRELESS!!!

Well, it took a little brain work, but I finally gotthe wireless router to work, and I can now access the internet anywhere in the house-yipee! I wll also be adding in some opicuresof some of my knitting projects as well as some critter pics.
Now that I have the computer and the internet at my fingertips, I have a feeling I will become one of those internet junkies...we'll see!
It's gorgeous here today...a chill in the air right now, but it will warm up a little...our maple tree lost all it's leaves yesterday...poor naked tree...I guess you could say in the tree's case, Fall fell!

Wire-less...

I am finding that the joy of a laptop comes with being portable....somehow that feeling gets a little less when you realize that inorder to access the internet, you gotta be hooked up to a wire. Now, I have to get a wireless router and get us a home network going, so I really can be free to blog, browse knitting patterns or recipes anywhere I choose. I evidently can go to a free wifi hot spot, but I find drnking coffee and typing away on a computer in public view kind of cliche'... maybe it's not, but that's how I feel about it. So, I guess it's off to find a router...and some networkin advice...hey Randy! (my brother-in law, who KNOWS this stuff). See you remotely later-hopefully!

It's Been A Long Time Come'in

I come to you now from my own laptop! I have wanted my own computer for a while, and was actually going online and looking at used laptops...they're pretty inexpensive, and I figured I could save up and get one. Well, Ken had asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I jokingly said "a laptop!" He surprised me the day of my birthday telling me hed had ordered me a computer, but not a used one...this thing has a 15" screen and a camera attached -no, no photos of me this morning...jeez, it's only 8:45 am and I have only had one cup of coffee! I am now going to rectify that, so I'll have more later.

Amateur Meterologist

Last Friday night, Atlanta was hit by a tornado. I was driving home about an hour before the storms hit and did think that I was seeing quite a lot of lightning, but since most of it seemed to be cloud to cloud, I thought it was more of a light show instead of a warning to get my ass indoors. Luckily, all I had to deal with was rain and some big hailstones, unlike the people who's homes and lives were impacted by the tornado. Storms came through again later on, and again nothing but rain and hailstones. Saturday kept me indoors for a good part of the day, again watching the weather news and seeing tornados popping up all over the metro area. I haven't had a day like that since I was a kid, where the weather had me pretty shaken up. But I had plans for Saturday evening to visit a friend, and so I decided that there was no way that Mother Nature was going to keep me from a "girls" night. And as it turned out, the skies cleared and Saturday evening was beautiful and I got to spend time with one of my best friends.

The attached picture of the tornado ( circled in red) also makes me realize that even during a major weather event, you can still see how beautiful things can be!

It's Been a Long Time!

I can't believe that it's been more than 2 weeks since I blogged last. Gosh, where did the time go? I know where part of it went...I hurt myself a couple of weeks ago- twisted my right knee-made walking a challenge. I know the old saying "you don't know what you got 'till it's gone", but boy, I didn't think that it would apply to my knees...at least not this soon! Thanks goodness, I can walk pretty much normally now, but i guess no dancing until a later time. The good thing about not getting around much, is that I did get some knitting done. I finished Murell's hat, and have begun one for Avery-purple and pink- I may try and have it finished before her birthday, which is in a week and a half.
I am overnight dog sitting this week, and have a little extra time to myself, so I'll blog back much sooner.
