The shrug pattern that I tested is out so I can show it.  Yes it's the back but I like my hair in this picture.  The pattern is Turtleback Shrug by Shyama Nivas ($6).  I like testing patterns.  There are some that I wouldn't test with a  ten foot pole but there are other ones that are interesting. 

Today is the two year anniversary of my friend's death.  My Facebook is full of sadness.  Many of my friends are mutual so everyone is a kind of down.  I wish I could help his wife more but she is surrounded by a lot of help.  I wasn't that close with him but I still think of him when I hear Star Wars on my "classical" Pandora station. 

On a happy note one of my sisters got engaged over the weekend.  I wasn't really surprised.  My family tends not to date till they are ready to marry and if she liked this guy enough to change her face book status in July I figured it was only a matter of time.  I haven't met him yet but we should at Christmas (yes it's late).  I tend to buy a new dress when family gets married so my son said that I should buy an orange one if she gets married in fall. 

As far as crafting goes I finished the scarf and got it entered for NerdWars.  I cast on a shawl and did a little work on my daughter's sock.  I also watched some Running Man,  I'm up to episode 101.  I'm actually planning on playing WOW today.

The back of  leg has been hurting like I pulled a muscle but I didn't do anything.  Because of that and the fact I haven't exercised in a wile I just walked in place for 15 minutes.  Maybe my sisters wedding will give me a little extra motivation to work harder. 

That's it for today.  It think I can get back to a some what regular schedule now that the Christmas craziness is over.  See you tomorrow.
