MIA

So I've been MIA for the better part of this year. First there was bad weather, then the belated honeymoon to Disney World (only took us a little over two years), my collapse into the World of Warcraft, then more bad weather. And the job. My boss got promoted and then I got a new boss and then I got a lot more responsibility. I haven't technically been given a promotion yet but they left it dangling like a carrot. If I do well over the next few months hopefully I will be the next to get promoted.

So for now I am not knitting, not blogging, playing too much WOW and working a lot. Hopefully I'll get back into knitting this Spring. Oh yea, when I'm not trying to buy a house. I got my Spring IK and it was inspiring although I'm not sure I like the new format.

So for those few readers I have, I am gone but have not forgotten. I will return when life is a little less crazy.

New Year, New Me

Be forewarned, no knitting content.

I'm fat. I've been fat for a long time. I'm tired of it. I've been tired of it for a long time. I have managed to lose 15 lbs. since June just by switching some of my diabetic medicine. I'm ready to lose more. I don't belong to a gym because I always end up going strong for a month and then fall off the wagon. I usually walk for my exercise. When I saw that Rachael at yarn-a-go-go started the Run-a-go-go challenge, I thought what a nice way to get some exercise back in my life. I signed up this morning. While I don't forsee me logging any miles today, I'll be starting to walk again. 100 miles seems like a lot but I think if I break it down, I can manage.

Wish me luck!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I finished my Christmas knitting. I didn't knit much this year, just a few hats, a pair of socks and some dishcloths. Last year I gave everyone handknitted scarves and it didn't seem like they were appreciated much so I thought this year I wouldn't stress out over it.

Last weekend we traveled to Arkansas to have Christmas with my family. Tonight we have Christmas with DH's dad and then tomorrow it's over to his mom's side of the family. The joy of divorced parents. We have to make plans to see four sets of people. I hope I don't ever have to worry about that in my future. One of the reasons my DH and I dated four years before getting married is because we didn't want to make sure we were sure we wanted to be together.

On to the pics!

Long time, no posting

I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted last. I kept meaning too but kept putting it off. First there was snow, quite a bit of it. Then there was sickness in the house. Now it's the beginning of the Christmas season which involves traveling.

My parents live 6 hours from us and last weekend was our trip home. Then when we came back, DH had to travel to El Paso for work. He was scheduled to come home tonight but since Denver airport closed due to the blizzard, he got pushed out until tomorrow. He's been gone since Monday morning and the boys and I are really starting to miss him.

There has been some knitting, mostly London Beanies and dishcloths as gifts. I'll try to post some pics up over the weekend. After the holidays I need to find something that really motivates me. I'd like to try something new like Fair Isle or Entrelac. I'll have to see how that goes.
