Just thought I would pass along a funny in case anyone needed a good laugh....

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY……..
Sometimes when you are angry with someone,

It helps to sit down, take a moment to cool off,

And think about the problem.

Spring is Coming to the Northwest....

For the past couple of morning, I have been greeted with the music of spring as I stepped outside my door. By this I mean the birds are up with the sun and chirping all over the neighborhod.

I finally finished all of my Christmas projects for 2009 and I'm starting to brainstorm about what to make in the course of 2010. Currently I'm working on another DR. Who scarf for my husband. I've deemed this an "at work project" ie something work on during the downtime of my job. Handknit socks are my other knitting obession right now. I'm in the process of trying to clear out my stash of sock knitting yarn so I can justify buying more.

Paul and I getting ready to start our next garden. We went to the home and garden show a couple of weeks ago. We saw a lot of different displays. During the first week of March Paul is going to build me some new garden boxes. Three of them will be cold fram boxes, so I'm looking forward to being able to grow veggies year round in these three boxes. The other boxes will be traditional squarefoot garden boxes deep enough to grown onions, carrots and garlic. One of the cool things we found at the garden show was an alternative to vermiculite and peatmoss, since neither are as renewable as one might think...Coco coir - a by product of coconut husks. I'll give it a try in my garden this year and see how it works.

My second round of my weightloss program is going really well. So far this round I've lost 33 lbs for total 54 lbs since last August.

Starting the New Year in Queen Anne....

Right before Christmas, Paul and I moved back to our favorite neighborhood in Seattle, Queen Anne. We found a wonderful 3 bedroom 1.5 bath duplex on top of the hill. We can both use public transportation to get to and from work.

The amount of walking that Paul and I do on a daily basis has increased exponentially due to the walking the dogs. Speaking of which I need to take the dogs for their after dinner walk soon.

Today is the first day of my next round of weight loss more details on my weightloss blog found at here.

Here's a Funny for everyone!

BBQ Tonight...

Paul and I are hosting a pizza bbq tonight for some friends at our home. We've decided to serve our wedding cake topper for desert. Our first anniversary was three weeks ago but I was still following some very strick dietary restrictions for the weightloss program I started at the end of July.

I think our cake top survived the freezer very well!

News from Stitch n Bitch....

Its been so long since all five remaining regulars have been together...Jane, Rachel, Sarah, and Andre and I got to catch up on everyone's gossip and bitching tonight. I'm almost done with the sweater that I'm working on for my mom's either birthday or Christmas present.

Since Sarah finished her project tonight Rachel took a picture to commenorate the event. The lucky recipient of this blanket will actually recieve before he graduates from high school...or for that matter starts his grade school career.
