Oh my goodness ...it's almost time for Santa!

Well....I let time slip by again. So much has happened in the last few months....subtle things and decision time for me. Because of my procrastination, I had to reapply for college because I had been out 3 semesters. I did go for my last science class at the community college but that doesn't count for missing the 3 semesters at UMW....so I had to reapply, go into a new catalog and take two more classes! Yuck! So next semester I will be signed up for 3 online classes and probably be going crazy, but done! Graduation time in May!

I also have opted to have my knee surgery...knee replacement. I am tired of hurting and my quality of life going downhill each day. So I have pulled up my big girl britches and I am going to make myself better! Yes I am still knitting some but spinning my wheels on finishing projects. Once again this will one of my New Years resolutions...maybe one year I will accomplish it! Uh huh....sure....dream on ....hehehehe....what can I say I am a true optimist.

We had 20 inches of snow last Friday and Sat. For some of you....that's not much but for us who have very little or none most winters, this paralyzed the area. My wonderful neighbors dug my driveway out....I couldn't and was stuck in the house for 3 days! Not bad though....never dressed, no makeup and coffee all day was good to the last drop. Did I accomplish much...NO....but I did a great imitation of a slug! LOL

I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas... or to be politically correct Happy Holidays...but for me I wish to all a Very Merry and warmest Christmas with of lots of love, good cheer and happiness. May our new year be filled with lots of accomplishment, lots of yarn and fabric and most of all peace on earth!

Words for thought!

I came across a great saying today.....

"Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better." -- Sydney J. Harris

Isn't this pretty much how we all feel. I know I do. I hate things to change...I always get pulled in kicking and screaming but then I accept it. I do fall prey to nostaligia though. I am so sentimental...and at times I wonder why things have changed.

How about everyone.....any thoughts?

I am back....

I guess those who happen upon my blog from time to time have wondered about what has happened.....it could be laziness, busy or just tired of blogging. It has been all three. I was busy with work, then changed departments which was a blessing and then in September when I was away, someone broke into my house. I now live with an alarm (ugh!) and the tedious tasked of trying to remember what all they took. So many of my drawers I couldn't remember what I had in them. Chalk it up to the seamier side of life....criminals touch us one time or another. I am just grateful they didn't destroy my home.

I wish I had some things to show but once again I can't find my camera cord...I hope they didn't take that! I have my camera, but I need to find the cord. I did find this cute picture on LOL cats and I thought I would share!

I hope within the next few weeks I will have some pictures of some shawls I am working on. Until later....but not as long as before!

Awwwww

My son in laws brother was married this past weekend. On facebook my daughter posted pictures and this one just melted my heart. In the center of the picture is my 11 year old grandson dancing with his mom, my daughter.....she is so beautiful and he is such a grown up little man...

Memorial Day

I hate to say this but I am so looking forward to have a long weekend. I am just beat from work and school and trying to get my well water problems solved. I finally have water after a weekend without and after paying the plumbers....well....no new yarn and fabric for me for a while. Okay I will just cut back!

The weather is so beautiful that I just want to sit outside and soak up the sun. Imight just do that. I have no plans for the weekend....wasn't invited to any bar-b-ques which is just fine with me. I did go to the grocery yesterday and I am set for my stay-at-home weekend. I am so in the mood to sew.

To all those who are planning family or friend get-to-gethers, have a wonderful and safe time! Enjoy.....it will soon be so hot we will not be able to stand it!

We are getting out of work early....so happy holidays and be safe!

I passed!!!!!

I passed my Historical Geology class! Thank Goodness! I only have one more class to either CLEP or take and I will have my Bachelor's Degree. Don't know whether I will walk next year (I missed it this May) but I am going to throw myself one heck of a party! I feel so relieved about this class, no one has any idea! Yippeeee!

And the world keeps going!

Well, last night I took my final exam for my class in Historical Geology....and let me tell you I was so exhausted but relieved. Now I just hope I have passed this class so I can complete my final one and I will have my degree! Yeah!
I had such a struggle with this class and looking today on line I found the most perfect cartoon for how I have felt over the last semester. Procrastination was my middle name...not because I am one...(okay a little bit of one) but because it seemed no matter how I tried to plan things I had to change them and then I procrastinated on other issues.....I guess you would say I am in the great 'burn out phase" of my college days....my advise to anyone....get a degree no matter what age...but do it as young as you can.....some days my brain feels like it will explode if I have to memorize just one more thing or read just one more textbook! Anyway.....here is the cartoon! Enjoy!
