Whew.

What a week. I feel as though it has been go, go, go all week. But thankfully, the Friday and Saturday activities have been fun ones, but it has been nice to get caught up on laundry and dishes tonight, no matter how much fun those two activities lack.

Friday night we went and saw a HS Hockey game, Waunakee vs Wisconsin Dells. It was really fun, chilly but fun. Both teams did really good and it was a blast for me as it was my first live hockey game ever!

Saturday morning, we got up early and drove to watch the Dells Wrestling Invite. HS wrestling is very interesting to watch. I have been slowly learning all the rules and what the different calls mean. It helps to have Llama around since he know so much about wrestling, he was a wrestler in HS and is taking the test to become a ref. Matches will keep us busy in the future.

My Mom sent me a package in the mail and it was a new apron! I love to bake and have been using the Santa themed apron that she made for me almost 4 years ago, it was time for a new one although the Santa one has held up incredibly well. It was fun to get a new one, it is double sided and had sparkly hearts all over it for Valentine's Day. It might be a little early but she wanted me to get it with time to make some Valentine's goodies. But it is simple hearts so I will keep it out all year.

Still working on my Tech Guy socks for Llama. Just turned the heel this morning while watching the wrestling meet. I really like the STR Alina sock yarn. It is really nice, I am getting so spoiled with these wonderful sock yarns I have been using lately. The colours are just beautiful and I love the swirling that the sock is creating. Can't wait to get some of my pictures down loaded to put on here. I am still learning all the ways to work my blog.

2007- Here we go

Well, I have been sucked into the world of blogs. I think it will be a nice way to keep a check on my knitting habits as well as keep friends and family updated on our lives.

Living in a different state than my immediate family has made sharing daily events harder than it used to be, so I am hoping this will allow a bit more communication.

Okay, now for the name, rank and serial number bit...
I am married to my wonderful husband "Llama", we are living in the capital city of the Dairy state. I currently work a 9 to 5 job that allows me to knit and bake in the evenings and weekends. We have lived here for approximately 2.5 years.
I started knitting due to some encouraging and now enabling co-workers. We regularly get together for knitting club. Which somehow ends up being more about watching reality TV and eating chocolate than knitting but it is nice to have friends to share my knitting with.

I have two siblings, my brother JBear who lives in the great state of Wild Hockey and my sister Zutzan who is currently en-route to Missouri. Both are students at their respective colleges and I want to be able to communicate with them more often.

I also want to share my daily life with my Mom who I don't get to see as often and it is hard to explain every knitted object over the phone.

I also have a wonderful nephew, who is my only nephew at this time, so much is lavished on him.

Hopefully I will be able to expand my blog in the next few weeks and add some of the wonderful things I have seen on others blogs as I have done my research to begin this blog.

I guess my New Year's Intention is to keep up with this blog and share my hobbies and experiences.

Happy New Year!
