It's been a long time!

Well I have to admit that it has been a long time - a month since I last posted. It has something to do with NOT BEING ABLE TO REMEMBER MY USERNAME/PASSWORD. Let me tell you - my life revolves around usernames and passwords. I have TRIED to make sure to use the same one or add a number to help it out but really in this day in age it is IMPOSSIBLE to have only one username and password, companies are making it extremly difficult. It has to 6 characters, it has to be at least 8 charachers, it needs alpha and numbers, it expires in 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, can only be used once every 12 passwords. GIVE ME A BREAK!! This is not government work -- and don't get me started on the new postal machine at Dahl's - now that is our government at it's best. Take a simple task like adding postage to an envelope and make you go through 6 screens just to get the silly thing to print the overpriced postage! Enough bitching! I have been knitting up a storm. I have FINALLY finished my reversible scarf. It was a gift - a gift of love and pain. I worked on that thing for 3 months off and on. I think I took out more than I ever knitted. It is not as long as I would like but I finally called it done before I threw it across the room! I made 2 hats to sort of match it. The first one was too small. I found the pattern on ravelry - Anna Green Cable Hat. Instead of making a rib stitch, I did seed stitch to match the scarf. They were a hit for my secret pal at school. I have also been working on my Log Cabin blanket from Mason Dixon. It has been a nice warm project to work on during the artic blast we have been experiencing. I have also started my second pair of socks. This time using the magic loop. They are moving along very quickly. I am taking sock making slowly - a very simple 3X2 rib. I love how fast they are working up. The teachers at school are curious on why I would ever want to MAKE socks. I tell them it is a test of my patiences. I actually had a teacher laugh out loud! She is a good friend!

I am supposed to be dieting and exercising but that has not happened. I have not gained any weight but I have not lost any either! I AM giving up pepsi. It will be hard but I have to do it. It is my new thing. I hope to give up caffaine all together but I am not sure if I can cross that road yet. Time will tell.
