Here I am almost 4 weeks into the new year and resolutions fell flat. In fact they never even took flight, not one. I would really like a do over for this year. Let me tell you why - I started a new job on 12/31 and it has not worked out as I would have liked. It is a new position and if I had known that I would have steered clear of it especially since I was in consideration for an other position. I have never had any luck with those "new position" jobs, they never have any structure and I like some structure. But it was the lure of a lot more money and better benefits. So now I constantly hear this nagging voice in the back of my head saying "You should have waited it out for the other job!" I can transfer out after 12 months, so now I am stuck here for 48 more weeks less 4 weeks vacation, 3 personal days and 11 more holidays, but who is counting.
On the knitting scene, I recently finished a really cute charcoal gray hat, a bit too small for me or either one of the girls, so it is off to be donated to a local charity. I have been working on these cable rib socks from Favorite Socks and they are taking me forever! Usually a pair of socks takes me less than a month, this one sock is taking me a month alone. I may just put it away once the first one is done and work on something else. I did make a quick felted bag. I love the yarn and the way it felted.
One more resolution - I will try to post pics of FO.

Happy New Year

I started a new job yesterday, so I am planning that 2008 will be a much better year than last. So as I start the new year I will try my best to do the following:
Post at least weekly
Exercise 3x per week
Put myself first for a change
Keep the house picked up
Branch out on my knitting
