Super Commenter Award!

I'm very proud to accept the Super Commenter Award that Anna passed on to me!

Anna is one of my first ever blogger buddies like Dawn and Jeanne, so we've built a friendship out of those "beginning" comments that means a lot. I'm rather on the shy side most of the time, I read a lot of blogs, but often get too shy and chicken out about commenting. I should though, I know I REALLY enjoy reading new comments when I get them! I Gotta get over that shyness!!

So here's to all of us who make each other's day a whole lot brighter by simply taking the time to let someone know you enjoy them! I promise to do better at letting other people know as well!

I pass this award along to Dawn (Knittinwolf) for sure, Jeanne at Nat Red Knits (LUV your new blog look Jeanne!) and my BF Julie too! Anna would've gotten it for sure if she hadn't passed it to me! LOL!!

It's a nice rainy day today, the perfect day for knitting. Yet Mr. Sock doesn't seem to be growing very much...I'm trying, I really am. (My Noro Scarf is in limbo land as well.) We've had rain off and on since last night and it's been very refreshing! I had wanted to do some shopping today on the other side of town but since that meant having to take the interstate on wet roads with nutty, crazy drivers - ah, I chose to stay home. Sometimes I do have some smarts!

Onto other good news: We've done it ladies....pulled Julie into the knitting vortex.....she's not only knitting, she's kind of "free-form" knitting!! I don't think she's ever used patterns in her crocheting either come to think of it....! Ms. Fiber Ar-teest! I know she's very limited on her free time (2+ jobs, school, family!) and her blogging is kind of spaced out here and there too but she's allowed that due to her shedule, so I'm proud to know she's on her way to someday relaxing and knitting up a storm!!!! Gooooo Julie!!!!

Now I must go grab a tissue...I'm just SO proud.....

(Someday there will be knitting to share again on this blog....I can imagine it so clearly! LOL!)

Early Birthday Fun!

So far I'm 50/50 when it comes to opening things before my birthday!!! My friend since elementary school, Rhonda, sent me my life's prescription: Chocolate! I opened this box early (ahem, I forgot my birthday was coming - getting old stinks). (That's me on the right - cause I know I never show myself on my blog! LOL!) Her box of goodies came with a card that has our picture inside! That was so cool! We took that one last summer when I was in CA. We have fun with our Birthdays because she's 6 days older than me, so I always have to rub that in... We're sticking to 39....I'm pretty sure from now on.

Here's a bigger pic of us from that day:

NOW>>> Miss Dawn sent me this box of goodies!

And I'm SAVING it (Cause The Big Guy bet me $5.00 that I wouldn't be able to wait until my birthday). I only cut open the taped part so far!! This is NOT easy for someone like me, who if there's a present with my name on it anywhere within a 50 mile radius, I'll open it ASAP. I've been that way since I was little (my Poor Mom). Well, He thinks he knows me so well....this time I'm gonna show him! Miss J (my oldest) was ready to bet me $200!!! Now if she only had that much money I'd sure show her! See how well they think they know me!??? I have SOME control for gosh sakes. Just because I have no control most of the time (especially when in a yarn store), when it comes to a bet...that changes everything!!

Yessirreee. I can do it. Now if I can just figure out what day today is.....
