..I am back. Finally.
It has been over a month or so since I last posted. For that, I apologize. I do not really have any reason not to have been blogging other than I guess I was taking a break.
So... here is a recap (in no particular order) of what has taken place since the last time we spoke:
- I saw the Twilight movie and really enjoyed it. The books have hooked me and I am almost finished with the third one. I thought that the movie did a great job of going right along with the book. It was neat because some of the scenes were exactly as I had imagined them. I can't wait to see the next one!
- SAFF. I got to see tons of friends and brought home lots of fibery goodness. I know that it was about a month ago, but I think I am finally starting to come down from the fiber fumes. I am going to share my pics and some stories from that weekend pretty soon. What a great time!
- Charlotte is finally home. I am becoming acclimated to the area, which is a good thing because this area can get confusing. I am starting to make some real friends now. I have a church with people that I adore and am enjoying being a part of my choir. We have a show coming up in a few weeks, so things are getting busy with it. The job is going well and I really like it. All in all, things are good!
- Happily, I can report that I am out of the basement! I moved into a new apartment and am loving it. Christopher has tons of room and lots of windows to enjoy. The apartment has a nice fireplace for now and a really cool screened in porch that will totally be used this spring when it gets warmer!
- Thanksgiving was great! I took a road trip home to Alabama, where I hid out and did nothing. To prove this point, I stayed in my jammies all day on Thanksgiving. It was great! I also got to celebrate my mother's birthday, which was fun!
- As far as knitting goes, I am kind of on a sabbatical. My mojo simply fell out and I am hoping that it will return soon. I know that it will come back with a bang and I will not be able to put the needles down. Hopefully, that will be soon. Until then, I will continue to fondle the yarn that I have (and secretly hope that it will knit itself!).
- Oh.. I got a new computer! I am finally a "cool kid" with a laptop. It was an early holiday gift from my parents. My other computer was purchased in 2001 and is being held together with duct tape and prayer. I'm excited that I can hang out in bed and play around online. Now, if I can just get used to using my fingers instead of a mouse! (I do have one to cheat with, though.)
You are pretty much caught up with my life. That's all that I can think of to share right now.
Thanks for sticking with me during the break. Bear with me as I try to get this blog rolling again.
Stay tuned...
Glad to hear you have settled in! Moving can be so hard!

Did you need to borrow a feather duster to clean the cobwebs off the old blog? Hehehe. It's about damn time.

We missed you, glad you're back. My blog has LOTS more dust on it, but I'm not quite ready to go back to it. Things go in cycles, don't they?

Hey,
I just came back from a break too! I hope your knitting mojo comes back soon. It will, just when you don't have the time!

Glad to hear you are well. I haven't been blogging much either. Did a little Christmas knitting, not much. I think I needed a break, too. Maybe some Jack Daniels wouldn't hurt, either;->
