Welcome to 2009!

To make things easier, if you are foolish enough to make some resolutions, here are some ideas about that.

Anti resolutions for the New Year

10 ways to make a resolution stick

Me? I failed miserably last year. I'm not sure about making any, but if I do, I'm using the above to help me make those changes.

Now, the reason I know you're really here:

Knitting pictures!


Here is the Lady Eleanor, still in progress, but moving along quite nicely. Soon I won't have a good place to take photos of it.










Here is the request scarf I started last night. For you knitters out there, this is Silk Garden in colors 8 and 258. The color is a little off, but I just wanted a quick photo to post. I'll mess around with getting better color next time.

Today I've got a whole list of things to do. I mentioned to Keith something we needed to do tomorrow, and he said we can do it on Saturday. I started to protest, then I realized that I can do it on Saturday! Saturdays off will be a strange thing for a short time. I think it will make things a little less stressful around here as Keith has harbored some resentment towards my job for awhile. He's been with his job for so long that he gets a lot of vacation, and I've been reluctant to take that much time off. Having a much more flexible schedule will make things more pleasant here. (Not to mention that sometimes I think he wants an admin assistant here at home. Don't worry, I'll get well compensated for that work.)

So have a happy new year, everyone. I'm feeling cautiously optomistic about this year, and I hope I can be more optomistic and less cautious about it soon!
