I have officially decided that my computer HATES me! It has to! First my hard drive went, why- I'm not sure. Then my monitor went! So, today I had to install a new hard drive, buy a new monitor, re-install Windows XP and the drivers. I lost EVERYTHING that I had on my other hard drive but I do have the computer back up and its faster!
I found out that Angelicrafts was closing so I talked Jeff into taking me to the State Fair Grounds to go to the shop. Now, I am kinda agoraphobic so this was a big deal to him. I had to agree to go somewhere with him first. So, Jeff, Summer and I got up at 8 am to go to a charity pancake breakfast. It wasn't too bad.
We then got to the shop and I finally got to meet the two great guys that I know from Ravelry and from shopping with them on-line. It was so nice to put faces to the names ;o) I bought 11 pounds of yarn . I know, I already have TONS of yarn! BUT, I only bought colors that I knew I would use AND it was$2 a bag! $2 a bag! The bags are around 15 to 18 ounces each so thats a killer deal! Could you pass it up?????

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My first post for 2009! I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Yule and a fun New Year!
Christmas here was hectic. We spent the morning with the girls as they opened their gifts. Then we had to rush over to Jeff's cousin's house for finger foods. The girls didn't want to go- they didn't know most of the people that were there. But, it turned out OK and they had fun. Kirstey had a fit when she found out that her cousin Keith's band had played at the same concert as My Chemical Romance (her FAVORITE group of ALL time). After that she had a good time.
Then we had to rush over to my Mom's to spend a few hours with my family. It is always so fun to see them, we have such a crazy family! It isn't long before my younger sister & Mom are arguing about who has the best "House Bitch" (talking about their husbands). Never fails! My nephew Christian came home with us to spend a few days.
On Friday Jeff left to go pick up my youngest son Robert before I even got up. They were back around noon.Then we had to run to the grocery store to pick up enough to feed 4 teenagers for the weekend (and may can they eat). I made our Christmas dinner and we all ate.
Saturday we had to go back to Mom's to take Christian home & so Robert could meet his aunt TiTi and cousin Justin. I think he finally realized that our family is crazy and he went inside with Jeff. It was kinda funny. When we got home, he somehow tricked me into making a hat for him. I got the beanie portion finished in an hour.
On Sunday we had to drive to Danville to see my Dad (an hour-and-a-half away), I finished the brim on Robert's hat on the way and he started a second one. We spent a few hours with my Dad and then headed to Mt. Airy (two hours away) to take Robert home. Then we headed home ourselves (a four hour trip). I never got to see my oldest son Michael this holiday at all- he had to work ;o(
Things have finally settled down this past week. The girls go back to school on Monday and I can't wait. I have started a knit sampler blanket that will be an anniversary gift for Jeff this December. I have also crocheted a dozen new ornaments for our tree next year. I am thinking that we need a new tree skirt too since ours is coming apart in places. We will see if I get one done this year or if I just repair the one we have. Not sure yet.
Well, I hope everything went OK for you for your Holidays! Hugz!
