Evening thoughts....

Time certainly flies whether you're having fun or not! A whole week has gone by since my last post.

In my never-ending quest to master the MP3 player, I bought another one. It's a lot more anita-friendly and I'm having more success with it than the others. (3 to be exact) My whole family now has the discards.... I've mastered turning it on and off, loaded the software on my computer, and even transferred 3 audio books to the player! woo-hoo! Next step is figuring out how to listen to them instead of what the little devil wants to play, but I'm sure this too I shall achieve.

I keep planning on adding some pictures to this site but I can't seem to take any that show my FO's well enough.

On the reading front: currently reading "Back on Blossom Street" by Deborah Macomber. It's okay, a little more romance than my preference. I like the interaction among the strong
women characters who share each others strengths to navigate those difficult challenges of life. Has anyone read "The Knitting Circle"? That one was tough but very good. I haven't been able to tackle "The Friday Night Knitting Club Yet" but "Chicks With Sticks" (really a YA novel) was great! The Monica Ferris needle work series is fun and Maggie Sefton is okay. The writing is a little weak I think but they're still fun to read. Mary Krueger's knitting themed books are good too.

You may wonder about the word "clog" in my blog title. Clogging is a style of dance that pretty much originated in the Appalachian Mts. in the 1700 and 1800's. It consists of dance steps from many different cultures (immigrants) including Irish, English, Scottish, German, and African American. Tap dancing, a more perhaps intricate and sophisticated style of dance evolved from clogging. It's high energy and a lot of fun. Also hard on your knees and if you're (getting) older! I was 48 when I finally found a local group and started dancing. Due to a variety of reasons, I haven't been able to attend the practices in several months and I really miss it. I've always said that those of us who clog must REALLY enjoy it because no one would sweat that much on purpose!

Well, I think I'll go watch disc 3 of "Big Love" I've become rather hooked on that show.
Till next time.....
