Blogaversary

Wow, I just realized that my blog has existed in it's Typepad state for three years now!  I started this blog on 8/5/04 as a means to properly participate in Secret Pal 2!  I had been using live journal, but was not entirely happy with it.  In three years I have met so many creative and wonderful bloggers and have kept in touch with most of my Secret Pals since then.  I haven't been a great blogger this past year, but I have no intention of stopping.  Hopefully I'll get back into more regular postings.  This is my 271st post and I've had 456 comments to date.  Thanks for reading and sticking by me even when the posts have been infrequent! 

Blog Anniversary

I have officially completed a whole year of blogging on this site.  I am amazed at how blogging has impacted my life.  Besides keeping track of my life through an online journal, I feel that I have actually completed more projects because of wanting to post photos of completed objects.  I also have met many great knitters online who have certainly helped me get through struggles with projects or life.  I really have enjoyed this format and surprised myself that I kept up with it--I have a hard time keeping a hand written journal.  So thanks to anyone who reads this!  I appreciate it!

This past week was exhausting--the heat wave along with the humidity--was oppressive.  It left me zapped of energy or much desire to knit.  I did go to the S&B on Tuesday night.  I got a bit of my sleeve done on the pink sweater, but I am not close to finishing it.  I won't have much time this weekend either, as I throwing a birthday Bar-B-Que for my mom on Sunday.  I have been working on the OSW and am up to the seed stitch sleeve borders.  Nothing worth a photo, though!

I took the kids at work to the University of Pennsylvania Archeology Museum this week.  Overall it went well, despite the heat.  Most of the museum was not air conditioned, we think because the building is so old.  The kids liked the mummy section the best, along with the actual bones/skeletons of deceased ancient people.  There was also a bit of excitement going on in the area of the museum and across the street at Franklin Field.  Apparently a Disney movie was being filmed--something about football.  There were movie trailers everywhere and traffic was crazy.  No actor sightings this week!  Afterwards, the staff and I went to a Mexican restaurant for margaritas and dinner.  It was fun.

Have a great weekend!
