I am famous

I am famous....well sort of...Well ok not really. but I was in the Fayetteville Observer on Tuesday.

My sister and I decided to go walking on our only walking trail one weekend. We did spot some photographers but didn't really think much of it. No one stopped us or asked us any questions. (There have been reported attackings on females on my side of town and one was attacked on the walking trail) So Michele and I went along our merry walking way. Well when I went to schoo last week a fellow teacher asked me if I go walking on a walking trail. I told her yes I did. She then told me that I am in the newspaper. So I went to find a copy of the newspaper and low and behold there I was walking with my sister.

I must admit that I am not thrilled at all because I have workout pants and a t-shirt on. Here I am trying to exercise and some photogchick decided that she wants to snap aless than flattering picture of me. That is me in the blue jacket holding my haor in place. On the left in the wolfpack shirt is my sister Michele. One thing I have to admit, thank god it is not my butt that they got a picture of like the lady walking up the trail. Then I would really be mad!!!

All of my students know about this as well thanks to our wonderful PE teacher. Thanks Melanie!!!! Love ya.

My gift swap

Thanks to Ravelry I have met a lot of cool people. One of which is Claudia from Rhode Island. We were both in a swap together and were swap buddies for Feb. Well today the mail-lady came and brought me a package from Claudia. In it was 2 knitted dishcloths, a bunch of tea, a bag full of chocolates, and a skein of dishcloth yarn. If that wasn't enough (which it was!!) Claudia even included 3 kitty toys for my cats. You know that you have found a good frined when they mail you toys for your cats. :0)

Thank-you Claudia for you generous package. I love it all. You did a grea tjob!!!!You went above and beyond!!!! I want to say thank you and so do Misty, Prissie, and Sophie. Meow meow meow.

Thank goodness for the Daytona 500

I always have loved Nascar but I really liked it this past Sunday. No my men (Stewart/Jr) didn't win but I did manage to finish my dad's socks.
After I finished them I called my buddy Zonda to share the news with her. Then I called my dad. He told me that he would be anxiously waiting for them. So I brought them over to the house today and had them on the table. I didn't say anything to my dad when he came home from work, but I guess he found them ok. Because a few minutes after he came home dad walked into the living room with them on. He had a nice smile on his face as he saod Chris look. I guess dad liked the socks. I feel so bad for dad. He sometimes gets overlooked in the knitting frenzy so I am soooo glad that he liked the socks. He still had them on as I left mom and dads. He did tell me as I left that the socks matched his new olive colored slacks. :0)

My Dragonfly Socks

These are my latest pair of socks. These are my dragonfly socks and will be for this months sock knit along. Yes I said mine. I am not a greedy person at all, but dog gone it I want a pair for myself. When everybody in my family (except my brother) has a pair of socks except me there is a problem. So now it is all about me time. I was worried at first that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this pattern. But it is not bad at all. Maybe because my buddy Zonda had to go out and buy me these stitch markers that have a k2tog and ssk on them and she put them on my socks. So now I do not even have to look at the pattern cause I have these kickass markers telling me what to do.
I do not know though what Zonda was trying to tell me.....hmmmmmmm maybe that I need reminders of what to do on what needle. naaahhhh....... maybe to stop knitting socks on a size 1 when I had been knitting them on a size 3....naaaaaahhhh..... maybe to stop knitting my decreases on the wrong side of the darn needle...naaahhhhh...... Maybe Zonda just loves me.... even though I have done the above and many many more silly things. YAHHHHHHH that's the correct answer!!! :0)
