It's Christmas Time

Hi all, Been a couple months since I have even thought about my blog here and really its just has not been that important. We survived Thanksgiving with family in Missouri and even came back home on Thanksgiving day because Don had to work Black Friday. I have done no knitting since I have re-joined church life in early November of this year. God had really been pushing on my heart to go back to church and stop living the way of the world. I have never been so happy to get the weight of all the stress and stupid stuff off my chest. I know a lot of people have seen me and noticed the change, Don being one of those people. Living my life for God has transformed me and I don't see giving up the things of the world as a bad thing but they give me freedom .. My faith if your wondering is UPCI which is United Pentecostal Church . If you don't know anything about us, we are Holy Ghost filled, Baptisted in Jesus name , God loving people. Being a woman in the UPCI church we look different than most woman because we dress as woman. We do not wear men's clothes which would be pants , we don't wear makeup or cut our hair. All These things are instructed for us to do in the King James Bible. We are to be separate from the world and be Holy. I encourage you to read on the Doctrine of the UPCI . I feel joy all the time, and I have no cares because Jesus take care of them all.
There is nothing better than knowing your living your life the way our creator designed for us to live.
Yes I have changed, Yes what I blog about will be different from now on.. I'm not sure what this blog will turn into, but I hope to touch peoples life's with it .
On with the Holidays.. We are Planning on going to Missouri for Christmas , so I am hoping that we have no snow this year. Last year we were snowed in and could not get out of the house :) I hope everyone enjoys family and friends during Christmas and  remembers what its really about ...Stress this time of year is horrible with people trying to buy gifts for family and friends.. Personally me and Don only bought our daughter 1 gift this year and that was a Kindle Fire.The girl has everything she needs and we thought 1 gift would make her happy and keep us from over spending. We are spending 3 days with family,which she loves!! so thats another treat for her. We don't spend a ton of money on Christmas, it just does not make since too.. And our Daughter has learned that money is hard to come by and we should be thankful for what we have.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year :)

Google eBookstore

Well after forever and fighting the tide, I downloaded Google Chrome since FireFox is really giving me issues. I have to say I like it a lot more than FireFox because I didn't realize that almost all the things I use are by Google. I really like the apps you get and you just click on them and your there. No more typing in URLS for simple everyday things I use all the time. I also downloaded Safari browers to try it out. It has not been getting much use since using Chrome, but I will get there.

Sorry for the lack of posts , but life has been pretty boring around here since I am not working. I just sit home all day and read or knit. No shopping since there is no extra money and no buying of blackberry themes. I finally also found the Google ebook store. I think it is great we have some many places to access books on the go!!! love it..

Knitting Is Pissing Me Off

Ok, The above picture is of my attempt at the Make It Work Shawl http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/make-it-work by Leslie Thompson. This all started out fine and good until I had to add these extra 20 stitches and it all got weird. I have tried this twice to no success. See how my lace stitches are just hanging out in the wind . They are suppose to be attached to the body of the shawl SOMEHOW.. I mean the instructions tell me what to do, but me wrapping my head around how it works is beyond me. I am so pissed right now that I have to rip all the lace out and then some and start over!!!  Knitting is here to relax me, and right now I am freaking out over some yarn. I really have to get dressed , drive to the store and buy beer so I can drink and relax. I know I am a drama queen,but I put a lot of knitting time into this and its all for nothing at this point.. boo

This is the protector of my front door!! So gross..

Blogger Test

Go blogger is being weird and not letting me post via my phone..

Ready For Fall

Can you tell I am ready for fall with the new wallpaper on the blog :) It has been over 106 and as hot as 112 here ! I'm not one for summer anyway so I am so glad when it cools off for fall and winter around here. I have finally started knitting again :) I have been working on my Make It Happen Shawlette which I am on the boarder and it will be done. I have also knitted a dish cloth which I will post pictures of later. I have been trying to work on my WIP'S that are sitting all around my knitting room. I have a pair of fingerless gloves to finish and  a pair of Bella mittens to finish along with a massive blanket I started 2 years ago. It seems to be a common theme with knitters to start something and set it aside for another New and Shiny project. 
I have joined Goodreads in the hopes to start reading more. I love to read but it seems that knitting, cleaning house and cooking take all my time and reading is maybe at a hour a day. I have to admit I have downloaded thousands of books for my Ipad and Nook and finding new books for free is a high. I love free and I think all books should be free to some point. I realize the authors have to make money, but there should be a discount for the none working folks of the world. Oh wait, that's what public library's are for . I can never seem to get the books back there once I take them out. 
I have found a new love for nail polish. Oh my gosh! its like painting in school all over again,lol. I'm sure if your my friend on FB you have been a couple post at my new colors. More of that to come here too. I really miss blogging and I think its time that I try and do it everyday or at least once a week. 
Today is my daughters first day back to school :) can you say we are both happy at this point.Being in the house together for 3 months is not good for anyone.. she is super excited to be in middle school this year and I'm a little scared. I guess I just have to let go and let her be at some point in all this. I am to much of a control freak... well, I'm off to knit and enjoy my quite day with me and the cats.. Talk to you soon .

Back On The Needles

I'm trying to work on my black Rose socks again. We will see how this goes for me today.
