This is me on my snowmobile. Don't I look pretty cool. It was a perfect day in WNY for snowmobiling. 22 degrees and sunny. Had a bunch of snow last night that made the trails not to bad.

A Finished Object!

The Christmas Widdershin's are done. Okay, I started these Thanksgiving 2007 when Liz came home. Whenever Liz comes home we pick a project to do. She was teaching me two at a time toe up. It worked great. Nothing better than not having to knit a second after the first is done. HOWEVER, when I went to put them on I could not get them over my heel! Talk about stress. So then I had to call Lynne for guidance. Thank the lord for her! SO I had to tear and bind off 3, yes 3 more times. Do you have any idea how hard it is to take these little stitches out without dropping one or two along the way! I am not even going to go there. Well, anyways they are done and I think they are beautiful, don't you? And I have a finished object!!!!

New Years Resolution

What was your New Years resolution? Well if your like the rest of us, it is to loose weight. I came across this site http://www.wu-yisource.com/ tonight.

You really must check it out. Who knows, maybe it really works?! Me I am sticking with the traditional way- less calories and more exercise. In the mail today was a book recommended by Liz. She says it is good- so when ever she says it is good I read it. We'll see.

I am just trying to make some basic changes: no candy, doughnuts, pastries, cookies, fried food or fast food. Adding healthier foods- fruits and veggies. And maybe Jillian can add a few words to help me along the way.

Welcome 2009

I have been putting off my first post of the year- I wanted to finish some socks and put some pics of my holiday knitting and give my blog here a little make over. There are not enough hours in the day. So I have just decided to do this and worry about the others whenever I happen to get to it. I am still taking down holiday decor and trying to get organized for the new year.
Happy New Year by the way. I hope it was a good one and everything you hoped for. I always thought this was an overrated evening, but this year I did what I wanted and we had a blast ringing in the New Year with friends. No resolutions this year other than the commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Notice I said commitment and not resolution. Things seemed to have spiraled out of control after foot surgery and no exercise. My hubby is made the same commitment along with Liz. So we have a nice support group. Stay tuned to our on going quest to be fit!
I want to share some holiday pics and some FO's so stop back soon. You will enjoy the Christmas Eve, dining in the dark experience.
Have a great week.
