Woot! I'm back!

Hey everybody! How are you! I've missed you so much. Been spending way too much time on facebook catching up with everyone I can think of. It's just too much fun for me...lol! It seems now that I'm knocking on the door of 40 I shouldn't be so caught up in what has been the 20 and under social networking site. However, as surprising as it is, those of us pushing 40 and even into our 50's are finding it a lot of fun. I'm a YoVillian, I play Mafia Wars, Dragon Wars and even dabble with the "gifting" apps. It appeals to the gaming geek within! Since I no longer have the time to devote to true gaming, nor am I likely to be staying up to all hours of the morning on a quest, the small games on fb are just the ticket for a geek at heart like me. Besides, I've talked with people I haven't seen or spoken to in over 20 years and it's a lot of fun catching up with what everyone else is doing. I toyed with the idea of tweeting but I can "tweet" all I want on fb to the people that matter to me! In any case, it's proven to be a slight *snort* obsession on my part.

In matters of knitting, I'm progressing nicely on the cardigan sweater vest I started for my MIL. I'm using Peace Fleece in Krushchev Corn on size 8 circs and it's a very lovely design. I'm hoping to have it done by Mother's Day. I'm almost to the underarm bind off and I feel it'll be clear sailing after that. I just need to find the perfect buttons! I've also started yet another pair of socks. One can never (NEVER) have too many pairs of handmade socks! These are for hubby to appease him as the never ending hubby sweater still languishes under the lamp table in the living room. I've also completed several spa cloths and made a soap sack that turned into a camera sack instead! It's been a little slow in the knitting department for the last month or so. I've been doing a ton of reading and I've joined a local women's Bible study.

The Bible study is remarkable. We're doing a Beth Moore study she produced in 2004 called The Fruits of the Spirit. Of course the relevent scripture is Galatians. I've truly enjoyed both sessions so far and we have 8 more weeks to go. Next week is my turn in the nursery...yikes!

The wild man is doing great! He's growing like a weed and challenging me at every turn. These days his favorite word is "NO!" and he can't say anything without whining. Some days it gets to me but most of the time I simply take him outside and let him run it off! Probem with that is it tuckers me out too! We've really been enjoying the warmer weather lately and taking every advantage to get outside and get some things done.

This is us at Memere's on Easter Sunday!

As much as I'd love to continue this update, I need to go check on my men outside. My hubby has a NASTY case of poison ivy from yanking the vines out during clean up week. He's a hurting unit and still has about another week to go. We're calling him Mr. Itchy!

The wild man back on the tricycle!

Having fun at a friends house and loving her slide!

Until next time, which I hope will be sooner rather than later, take care everyone!

Happy knitting!
