Blogger Newbee

There has to be a first time for everything, right?

I woke up this morning and thought "hey, I wonder how I can make a blog". So I type blogspot (since that is what I've seen for a lot of other people) into Google and away I go. So much easier than I really expected.

A little bit about me:

I'm 42 (and proud of it), married for 15 years (almost) and we have two kids, girl - 14 and boy - 9. We moved to Southwest Florida 5 years ago and I LOVE the heat! I'm the only one that really does love Summer here. Now our Fall is here and the weather is beautiful. We are originally from Northern Illinois and I never want to shovel or drive in snow again (if I can help it).

We have three cats (I will post pictures when I learn how): Pepper is our oldest 1 1/2 yo, he is black and brown tiger striped with lots of white on his belly and legs. He is such a smart cat, listens to my husband but not me, oh well. Oreo is next at One yo, he looks just like his name when you twist off the bottom of an oreo, but our Oreo has this cute (macho) half mustache. Our newest is Lilly, she is 6 mo. old and as a kitten gets into everything. She is grey and black tiger striped with white on her belly. She could almost pass as Peppers sibling. Lilly has freckles with her whiskers, they are so cute.

I decided to do this blog to post pictures of my knitting - mostly dishcloths so far, but I'm going to try my hand at clothing in 2008. I have started and frogged socks for my son and a beanie for my daughter two-times each but I will keep trying until I succeed, although I'm waiting for after Christmas.

Christmas - it's not too far away. We have out tree "up", actually it's been up since just after Thanksgiving although we haven't decorated it yet. In fact if we want to decorate the tree we may have to put it in the garage so our youngest kitten can't reach it. She LOVES to climb it.

I'll stop here and see what comes next. I hope I didn't bore anyone too much.

Thanks for reading
