Does anyone else out there use their blog to remind themselves of events in their lives that they don’t necessarily blog about?  I’ve done it occasionally and have found it to be quite helpful to me.

Today was a day I want to remember and a picture speaks more than a thousand words. 

The “rock” is the part I’m not going to talk about here, but it’s incredibly meaningful to me today. 

The bracelets I will discuss.  They are a little treat to myself and I love them.  They were cheap, too.  Aren’t they fun?

I haven’t knit in 3 days.  I want to but I’ve been tired and have had too much going on.  I want to work on Francie, but I can’t figure out where I’m at on it….ohhhhhh, I hope I don’t have to start tinking back until I can figure out where I left off.  Today I just don’t want to figure it out.  I could work on my shawl but I dropped a stitch when moving it over to lace needles and I don’t feel like figuring that out either. 

Tomorrow I will be getting some yarn to start the BYOB pattern from Knitty.  It is the first bag that has spoken to me in a long time.  I hope the fact that at least 3 friends of mine are wanting to start it gets me moving along on it, too.  I tend to get bored on bag patterns even though I love them.

Everyone is gone but the little imp and I…he’s watching every tv he can manage to get started (what is it that fascinates him about that?) and I have bookkeeping I really need to get at, but I don’t want to.  Hmmm, sounds like I don’t want to do much of anything, huh!

Ok, I’m cracking the whip on myself….see ya later.

Well, actually…here the schools are not out yet…but SP12 has a new question of the week:

As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday?

It’s been a long time!  I think mostly I looked forward to long, carefree days.  We had a great neighborhood for kids to play in and I remember hula hoop contests, hiking in the woods up to the “pole” (which must have been some sort of power pole or something, I don’t think I ever really knew what it was).  We also dug for fossils..I took hubby once to show him where we did that and couldn’t believe someone had the nerve to build on that lot!  haha 

Speaking of swaps…I am also taking part in another one so I have started a wishlist at Kaboodle and it’s on the sidebar.  I’m finding it must be helpful to have ideas since I’ve been looking for things for my pal.  I’ll try to remember to add to the list as I go…I could never make wishlists when I was growing up and when my family asks me what I want, I never can think of anything so maybe this will help although it feels pretty weird to me.   

And for fun, I saw this on Susan’s blog:
