I started my search to find out FAQ about blogging. I am new to this whole blog universe and wanted to get some information on making my blog more "my own". Finding info. on creating my own headers and how to use widgets and counters, etc.
After reading some very interesting and helpful information that I have bookmarked for future use, I somehow came upon this blog, Not Just About Cancer, I could not stop reading it...
Puts things into perspective, don't ya think?

Party over...on to the Ravelympics!!
Graduation Party had many pitfalls, but all in all it was a good time had by all...amen it is over!
Onward and upward, as they say. Too much to get done and so little time left. Of course that is why I decided to add more excitement to my daily life and join the Ravelympics. (excitement - stress) those words are interchangeable!! Before you know it Frankie will leave for Fredonia, school will open and I had better be ready!!! Frankie still needs his wisdom teeth out, that pile on my desk at work still needs to be attacked....and now I need to get Danielle's Baby Shower going, because before you know it Jordan will be here!!
That is why I decided that the Ravelympics was a good idea :) get some of those Christmas gifts done and out of the way. Three pair of socks and three skull caps should keep me busy for 17 days. Goodness knows I need to be kept busy ;)....lol!
Will post pictures of the party later~

When it rains, it floods!!! or Murphy's Law....
Ok, so how come when one thing goes a little crazy, everything else goes to heck in a hand basket?
The graduation party is Sunday, and of course there is a baseball tournament in Lewiston all weekend....ok, we can deal with that....just have to work around it....and get everyone to chip in and help out. Get this place ready for a party, no problem! Of course, it would not be a sane life if something major didn't go wrong....so my van decides to take a crap, we are talking a MAJOR CRAP! Own payments on it, can't sell it, won't get a trade in on it, it doesn't work (!!!) and will now have to put major funding into it to make it drivable again.....and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired when???? 2,000 miles ago, now doesn't that just figure.
Like I said, Murphy's Law....if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen big time, and it's gonna happen to me!!
So, to make myself feel better, I signed on for the Ravelympics!! Go Team Buffalo!
I have signed on for 3 skull caps and 3 pair of croc socks for Christmas gift giving.....it will be a miracle if I finish them all in 17 days, but heck, I always aspired to be an over achiever......and besides, it will get my mind of the van repairs!
One day at a time, and it will all work out, that's what my hubby always tells me, and so far he's been pretty much on the mark. Love that guy.

Works in progress
Some days I feel as if I am in overdrive! The "compartments" of my life all need my attention - work, home, kids....groceries, the vet, college applications, laundry, the pile of files on my desk, rides to work for teens learning responsibility....and all the while a long list of knitting projects runs through my brain...begging for my attention!!! As far as I can tell, I am "normal"! Good to know.
I decided to document my wips (works in progress) tonight, I cast on the baby surprise jacket the other day after watching the dvd and realizing that it was not a difficult pattern at all, and Danielle only has 9 more weeks before "Jordan" is born! I'm still working on the 5 pair of Croc Sox for the girls for Christmas, my Neck Down Cardigan, a pair of socks, and a wool knit clutch that will be felted - my first felting try! I just ordered the yarn for 3 skull caps for x-mas gifts for the boys...and I have some wonderful alpaca that I want to use to make some fingerless gloves for myself. So, is this getting a little out of hand, or what?
Organize, prioritize, time management.....and fly by the seat of your pants, that's my motto!

In the beginning...
Every moment that passes is gone forever. Make the most of them. Go forward and take each day as a new opportunity to live, to learn and to love with all you've got! Try not to get caught up in the stresses of life, they will drag you down. Remember to smile, embrace the moment, find good in the people around you and in the things you do.
Love with all your heart, laugh at the silliness of life, and learn things that make life easier, make you happy and help you help others!
and so it begins.....
