How Christian

Today in church, I brought a lady from the local nursing home who looked somewhat disheveled. We went in, and she sat next to one man in a pew all alone, he looked at us and said he was waiting for his family and needed the whole pew. We got up and moved one row back, wouldn't you know - a family of three showed up a few minutes later, sat just where we had been and he did not say a word ~ BTW no one else showed up all during mass, either. A wonderful Christian.

Today I spent time working on a paper from H*ll for one of my classes, luckily my SIL and a friend asked me to go out shopping for a little bit which gave my brain a chance to refresh and recharge and I did finish the 11 page-single spaced paper in plenty of time (its not due until tomorrow at 10 pm so I'm a whole 24 hours ahead of the game)

Famous Footwear had a sale and I found the most comfortable shoes, I'll let you know how comfy they are after a whole day of running around the library. Also ordered these which will be here in about a week.

As promised, here is a shot of a finished knitting project, its the Lucy Bag from Two Old Bags a nice size after felting and really holds quite a bit of 'stuff'

Until next time, remember the golden rule...

go easy, its my first time

Welcome, come on in for my inaugural blog post at this address! I keep forgetting what name I used and thus, start anew once again.
Becoming hooked on blog reading, I think its time to join in the party and get serious about posting. I've been impressed at the blogs you all have created, and so bad at keeping up with my old ones,

A quick intro ~

• Married to my best friend for almost 33 years, its a good thing neither of us has gotten a day older mentally, we are still kids!


• Mom of two boys, OK, adults. Turned out pretty well, if I say so myself.


• Mom to two dogs, an Old English and a Mini Pin. If you can stand it, they also turned out pretty well, too.


• Also have a bird and a few fish, the jury is still out on their behavior.


• I'm an urban school librarian, this year I love my job ~ hang on, you'll soon hear more than you ever wanted to know about kids and books


• I will finish my MLIS this spring and say good-bye forever to graduate school, two masters in five years is enough already


• I love to knit - amend that to say I love to start projects and collect knitting books, yarn, needles, and gadgets for those projects that are dancing around in my mind
  Here are a few of my works in progress

This is a shawl for my good friend, Pattie, it was going to be finished for her 50th birthday, since she's now 51, its a little behind schedule. The edging is turning out nice, hope I have enough yarn left to finish, its Lion Brand Wool Ease in denim.





This is baby alpaca (yarn came from the Wooly Lamb, but I forget by who) sweater from Knit'nStyle. Its so soft and cuddly, almost a shame to finish it since it makes a great lap warmer at this point. I impressed myself with the key to the striping, saved me from having to go back and see what color goes where.



Sometimes, I do finish projects, next time I'll share a few of those

Thanks for hanging around, hope to see you soon
