Wow I'm sorry for not posting for a wile.  I was feeling a little bla and on top of that I was writing to my sister so I kind of felt like I was blogging.  I would go through the day feeling like I was forgetting something then around 10 p.m. I'd remember and think "Oh crap I'll do it tomorrow" and then I would forget again.  I'll try and be more consistent.

Here is the beaded shawl.  It's really hard to see but I don't have a better picture. I have a better picture of the beads on my Ravelry page.  I've been working on a bunch of things. I'm mostly working on my socks.  I added some stitches and changed needle sizes.  It seems to be fitting well except right at the ankle crease there is some stretching.  I'll have to adjust the numbers some if when I do it again.  I started a sock for my son which seems to be turning out well. They are orange of course.  In The Painted Tiger Group for Tour de Fleece I won a prize.  I won an old club offering of silk hankies.  Silk hankies are thin squares of silk that you are meant to spin from.  I've tried them before and not had good luck but I figure I'll try again.  They were dyed in the "mineral ore" color that is the same as the yarn I made into the Trillian. Maybe I'll take a picture of those next time because it's kind of hard to explain.  I tried to spin one and it kind of felt like I was trying to spin a spider web.  It of course doesn't draft like wool so it feels like I'm ripping or breaking the fiber.

I listened/watched all of the updated podcasts and some old ones of Yarnavore.  I also watched my kdrama.  Running Man was o.k. but I really miss the name tag ripping.  They are doing weird things with the "Monday Couple" too.    I watched one episode of Roommate.  It was kind of interesting but I'm not falling all over it like some of the other girls.  I am all caught up on High School King of Savvy and It's Okay, That's Love.  It's Okay... is a really interesting drama.  I really want to make my husband watch it just to have someone talk about it with. It's going to be an interesting ride.

The other thing that is going on is that Nerd Wars is kind of shutting down.  Originally it was supposed to be a fun game, and for me it still was, but for some people the competition and scoring was getting stressful.  There is a new game/chat/hang out that has formed and Nerd Wars will still be around, I think., but with a non competition aspect. Some people are really upset and I think we will lose a bunch of people but it should be o.k. in the end.  Our Shady Cels group will stay together, as far as I know, so I think we will still have fun.

For the family we went swimming on Monday and to the park on Tuesday.  The pool was a little disappointing because my son got really cold so we had to leave after an hour. The disappointing part was to spend so much money for only an hour. The park was o.k. I waked around a one court tennis court ten times and was disappointed to really feel it.  I need to get back to exercising.  Right now we are gearing up for driving my daughter half way to Minnesota so we can drop her off with my sister-in-law.  I guess that 's about it.  Everything else seems to be going well so I'll see you next time.
