Whew!

I have been working on getting all of the stuff from the Webs site over here.  It is pretty time consuming.  I have been able to get a lot done, however there is still much to do.  I don't really have a time frame for when everything will be done. I had hoped to have it all done this weekend, but I wasn't able to work on anything at all yesterday.  I had to take my car in for service, and of course that took forever; after that I went out with my mom and sister for a few hours.  After all of that, I needed an adult beverage, so was in no condition to do anything.  :0)  I also need to get started on my second podcast; I already have so much to talk about I can't wait to start recording.  And the next episode is going to have the first I've Got a Secret Knitting Project, so I really need to start working on that.  I already know what it is, but I do need to write out the pattern, start knitting it.... all that fun stuff. For right now though, it is a beautiful morning, and I don't want to waste any more time sitting in front of this computer, I've already been sitting here so long my butt has fallen asleep.  So I am going to make a nice cup of tea and go out to my porch and knit!!!  This nice weather will be gone before too long, and I don't want to miss a minute of it!  Until next time, Happy Knitting!
