Well, I have been away for while, and I think that I just did not have my priorities in the right place. I have been wasting entirely too much time on websites and activities that did not benefit me or enrich my creative side. Those days are over. I have much to catch up on and much to do to get back to where I want to be, but I am working diligently to get there.
I had all the tests that the doctor said I needed and I got a clean bill of health! Thank you my Lord! Because of this, I have decided to change my priorities and make a richer life for myself. I have already started doing some things and today I resume blogging and visiting my friends blogs. I have been very lax in my blogging for quite some time now, and I enjoy it so much. I have not participated in a swap for such a long time and I have not posted pictures of my latest creations, projects I am working on, and just the great things that are going on in my life and in my friend's lives. So today, I start fresh!

Old Age and the Cost of Redemption
Getting old is no fun. Not only that, but it is costly and time consuming. Get a bone scan, get a colonoscopy, get a stress test, take calcium, eat better, and yada, yada, yada. The bad part is that in order to redeem myself ( if I can), I have to do so many things that I have not been doing, so that means changing my lifestyle, my attitude and how I spend my time off.
It isn't that I have just become a couch potato who eats thick crust pizza, drinks beer and never exercises. It is that I have not exercised as I should, and I have not eaten as I should all the time, and so now, I am trying to get redemption. I have improved my eating habits and have lost a few pounds, but I still need to lose more.
On a happier note, my projects for the Ravelympics are going very well, and I am thinking I might just finish both of them before the flame goes out. Woo-hoo!

2010 Ravelympics
The Ravelympics have begun and I am challenged to get my events done by closing ceremonies in 2 weeks. I am doing a shawl and a market bag, one knitted, one crocheted and I am excited about making the deadline. We had some snow this week, very unusual for Atlanta, and I actually knitted in the car while sitting in traffic trying to get home. I worked on a pair of fingerless gloves that I was trying to finish before the games. They are cast aside now for the more important projects....so many projects...so little time.

What a Nice Day
My Mom and I went to lunch today and had a great afternoon. We looked at pictures of all the fam and ordered some prints from Walgreens.
My First Noro Project
Yesterday, I finished my first Noro project. It is a self fringing shawl and I made it with Kureyon. The colors are just breathtaking and I can't wait to wear it. (It is blocking).
I also have several UFO's that I need to finish and get off the needles, including 2 pair of socks, a baby blanket and a scarf.
Much work!

Learning the Hard Way
Today has been a day of enlightenment for me. I realized today that sometimes I just jump in feet first, with no preparation. Not only that, but I think that I can do things that I am not capable of doing, so it is time for a "come to Jesus meeting". Do you ever feel like you just don't fit in this world? That is the way I am feeling today. I am not sure where my place is, and what I am to do with it if I ever find it. I can never seem to do things the way other people do them, one step at a time. I always think that I can do step one and then jump to the end. I must admit that I am not as smart as my brain thinks that I am. And that realization gets me in deep do-do sometimes. I have decided that I need to take a step back and figure out what is important to me and work on accomplishing that thing...gee.

A Slow Start
It seems that I have had a slow start to the 2010 New Year. I have many projects going on and I can't seem to get my projects organized. I hope all of you are doing a better job of organizing than I am. I am having a problem organizing my supplies and being able to find needles and yarn and markers and stuff when I need them. I have tried several plans, but have found nothing that works yet. I am not giving up though.
