Router Security
So I was sitting home sick today trying to watch YouTube videos on blackberry applications and themes and my connection was horrible. Then I realized that someone on my street was using my unsecured wi-fi signal on my router and this was making it hard for me to use what I'm paying for! pissed off at this just because of the fact I have asked my honey to do this and he said he didn't know how, I went on Youtube and there was a video showing me how to secure my network :) so, for all my peps out there that need this information do it your self, here ya go. Don't let someone share your wi-fi and you get the crappy end of the deal . I had no clue it was so easy to get the settings changed once I found the IP address for my Linksys home Router.

Julia & Julia
So me and the honey were sitting around wanting to watch a PPV movie and we came across Julia & Julia and I really wanted to watch this. Being that it was about cooking and blogging. The man went to bed after 30 minutes of the movie stating it was a movie all about me and he was living this story already and went to bed. I have to tell you this movie really inspired me to take a challenge and make it mine. Deciding on what that challenge will be has not came to me clearly yet,but I know it will.
The movie really was about me and how I love to cook,blog and need to push myself to finish a project. You are all aware that I knit and crochet,but finishing a project for me is the hardest thing in the whole world!I get really excited about finding just the right pattern,then heading off to the yarn store to browse the wonderful soft yarns that I can never decide on and most of the time end up making a second trip to finally make a purchase. Then I start knitting my master piece,and knit and knit..and then I find a new pattern I just have to make and into the knitting bag goes the current project to sit for months or years untouched.It would be safe to say that I am a starter of things and can't seem to finish because i get side tracked with something new.
My whole life has been this way and after seeing Julia & Julia I really thought I'm not being far to myself at all! I need to find something and push myself to finish. I will be making a list of things I love and go from there. Here are a few things to pick from.
Knitting
reading
blogging
cooking
cross stitch
working out
weight loss and good health
write a book
The point is to do something every day and keep at it for a year. Could I really commit myself to doing something like this? I want to and I am going forward with it as soon as I decide what it is that I want to do. I know there are knitting challenges with socks and reading challenges,blog challenges, but I want to do something conformed to me. I really need to put alot of thought into this. I want it to be something that will open a whole new world to me as a individual to make me a better person. Does any of this make since? Any thoughts or comments on how you have done something in your life for a change everyday? love to hear your story.
Wanted to share Julia Powell's blog also since she is the reason I am making this life change. http://juliepowell.blogspot.com/

My Bella Hat
I love the pattern of the Bella hat found on Raverly but the top is pointy and kinda weird. Its great if I want to put all my hair up,but then look like a cone head, lol.. but it will match the bella gloves I'm working on right now for my self :) it was fun to knit but I think the next one I will make a little smaller or change the decrease pattern.
Can you believe its not pink, lol.. I love this purple color and can't wait to see my bella gloves in it. If I could remember the yarn I would list it,but i'm having a brain fart at 6am..
have a great day everyone :)

Lazy Sunday
I had to get out today and fight with people at walmart for grocery's in case the weather gets to back this week were I can't get out. The store was packaged and they ran out of shopping carts right after I got there! can you believe that. The weather is nasty here in Tulsa today, it is 37 degrees and spitting misty rain, yuck. Glad I am in the rest of the day and sitting by the fire with my knitting :) what a wonderful day.
