Hey there!

O.K., so it's turning out that I'm not around as often as I thought I would be. My poor, sadly neglected blog! It's been so long that they went and completely redesigned the Blogger interface when I wasn't looking, so I've had to go and re-learn my way around. Jeepers Crow!

Let's see, what's going on for those who may stop by to see if I'm actually still alive...

Getting my hours cut at work really did turn out to be such a blessing. We are so completely flat broke it isn't funny, but Tony isn't pushing me to go and look for something else. He knows that I'm actually ~doing~ things (photography), and not just sitting around on my butt eating bon-bons. And he knows that if things get really bad, I will look for something part-time.

The really humerous part of the whole thing is that my friends tell me that I am the happiest they've ever seen me! Yeah, I have my down days. But who doesn't? That whole human condition thing.

And, who'd of thunk it, but my baby girl's frist year of school is over in two weeks! Damn, that happened pretty fast! (I'm now understanding the frenzied look my Mom would get in her eyes at this time of year) I'm so proud of my kid! Nine months ago she couldn't read, now she's reading chapter books, at an easy second grade level. Completely boggles the mind, it does!

And, more amazing: I have been knitting! (You: "No!" Me: "Yes!") I've been working on a shell for myself with a lovely varigated cotton that I bought at last years New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival. I *will* get a picture of it up later this week. Yes I will *nods*

So I'm off again. It's what looks like is going to be the only decent day this week, so I'm going to go enjoy some of it!

Well, hey...

I *think* I'm back :)

Things are definately better now, frame of mind-wise. I still haven't done any knitting in a while, but the coat on the front of the KnitPicks catalog might just be enough to kick me into going again! It is just way too adorable!

If you're wondering just what I have been doing...I've been hanging around over at Worth1000, working on honing my photography skills. Some of the favorite contest enteries I've made are Silk Roses, Miss You, and Lotion. It's very cool discovering another new creative outlet!

So, I won't be as much of a stranger as I have been lately!
