"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."~~Alexander Graham BellChanges are happening. It seems in a blink of an eye a chapter of my life has closed. It's time to move on. So, like in life, my blog is moving on. I'm not the same person I was when I started this blog. Time to

Remember back in March and April, when I conducted the Stake Choir?Well today, Brother H. asked to speak to me in the hall. I said, "I don't have to speak in Sacrament Meeting, right??" :) He said no. Whew! But then my heart started pounding. I'm safely serving in Primary. Surely they don't want me to do something else instead. Right? Right?? Again, my heart was still pounding.He asks me

But, my *crochet wallet* has. I call it my *crochet wallet*. It's kind of like a wallet that doesn't fold. It zips and I keep my favorite hooks, circular needles, yarn needles, stitch markers, and other stitching notions in it. It's not that big, but it's big enough to hold my favorite things. The last time I saw it, I put a needle in my needle-turn-thing I keep in it. Since then -- it's

Today I was watching a commercial for Cookie Crisp. The bad guy is now a wolf?? What happened to the robber looking guy of yesteryear?? I can't believe I missed this one. I looked it up. Here's a link to some facts about Cookie Crisp. Why did they change the villian?? Was the Cookie Crook just not cutting it??And another thing about commercials, is Kraft ever going to change it to Kraft

Yesterday was the Project Linus Convention I mentioned before. It turned out really good.Last year, I didn't have time to sit down and even know my name, but this year it was pretty much slow going the entire day. I didn't have anyone until about 11 am. Lunch was at 12 pm 'til 1 pm. After that some more people came by. Some from last year, too. It was nice to see them again. :) I really

Today, I ran my first ever 5K. I wasn't able to run the entire thing, but I ran (no walking at all) for 22 minutes -- straight Edited to add: this is the longest I have ever run straight in my entire life.. I walked for a bit and then ran into the finish line. I don't have my official number yet, but it's right about 37 minutes.I'm currently in training for another 5K that's at the end of

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me - it can only be one word long. Then copy and paste this into your blog so I may leave a comment about you.This is not so much about fishing for compliments as it is an exercise showing how hard it is to use just one word to describe someone! When I try, I keep thinking up phrases or at the least, two words.Give it a try & I'll do

But, I have been crocheting. I even completed a project. Don't die of shock! I don't have a picture -- no camera batteries. I made a purse to match an outfit.What got my rear in gear?? I am supposed to teach a basic crochet and knitting class next Thursday for the Project Linus Convention. Yikes! I haven't been in the stitching zone in forever. I am afraid I have forgotten how.

Saturday, we bought a BBQ grill. We made hot dogs -- 97% Fat Free Hot Dogs for me ;) -- and had a great time of it. Sunday, we went to use the grill. There were leaves, bark, grass, soil, etc in it. We thought, "Okay, who put this stuff in here??" Then I said to my husband, "Look, there's bird poop in it!!" So, we cleaned it out, and made Boca Burgers with cheese in it. Monday morning,

My sister-in-law once recommended A Walk To Remember if you need a good cry. I didn't need a good cry, but I got one anyway. Good thing I'm not pmsing or it would have been worse. Great movie. It's so sad though. :'(

I'm really, really in the mood for some hand knit socks. So, I casted on a pair. I can't wait until they're finished. I'm still slowly plugging away on my black criss-cross scarf.

Last night we were in Blockbuster video looking in vain for a movie to watch. I'm very picky with the movies I like to watch. Then I saw The Thief Lord. I was so excited to see this! I had read the book LONG ago, and I loved it!! I was hoping a movie would be made of it. I had no clue one was. Tonight, we watched it. Loved it!!

I'm still here. I sneak moments here and there to get in some stitching. I have this thing with matching right now. So, I made a scrunchie to match one of my shirts. I need to make more. In time.I'm also working on a black criss-cross scarf. I think I've mentioned that way back when. I'm getting pretty far on it. Too bad I procrastinated and now it's warm out I don't even need it.I do

Today was Stake Conference. The choir did GREAT!!! It's over. ::sigh of relief:: I don't think I ever mentioned what we sang. It was a Hymnplicity arrangement of Christ the Lord is Risen Today, and an arrangement of Love One Another.Stake conference was awesome and adventurous (sp?). For stake conference we had a general authority visiting our stake. He got up to speak and about two

Well, I guess the word's out, so it's confession time. As you know, I haven't been *into* stitching. There is a VERY good reason for this. It's because I've been focused on working out and losing weight. Since December, I've lost over 40 pounds. I avoided mentioning it here, because (sad to say) some people I know in real life read this blog and are diet sabotagers. If you think this

I have a raging headache, so I don't want to think of a title. Choir practice ended about two hours ago. I'm hoping (in vain) that this headache will go away. It won't. So, here I am. I'm going to be hating it in the morning (time change side effects). So be it.I have two words about choir practice: *I* sucked. BUT, on the upside -- the choir sounds WONDERFUL!!! Those people can sing!! I told my

I CANNOT wait until Tuesday!!! Why?? Because that's when Narnia comes out on dvd. I just finished watching the 9-minute supertrailer. It's SO good!!! I can't wait for Tuesday!!!Thinking about it, I have to say that besides Aslan, of course, I think my favorite character in Narnia (and the books, too) is Edmund. Yup, that's right -- Edmund. Why? Well, if you don't know, Edmund was a

My sister just called. She got her mission call. She's going to the Italy Rome Mission. Lucky!!!!We had a sister missionary serving in our area that was from Italy. I don't know where exactly in Italy she was from, but that would be so cool if she ran into my sister.That would be an awesome mission. Dang! I should've went on one!! But with my luck, I would've been called to Utah. :)

Spring is here, but the spring weather is not. It's still cold out and I still wrap myself in crocheted blankets while sitting on the couch. Last week we had a really nice snow storm. On the first day of spring no less. :)I know it's been a while since I've been here. I started a black criss-cross scarf, but I'm not far on it. I just haven't been into stitching. My stitching has taken a

I'm so weak! Last night, I went out and bought the fourth Harry Potter movie. Even though I said before that I didn't think I'd be adding it to my home movie collection. So what made me have a change of heart?? I wanted to see the deleted scenes and my husband said to just buy it, because we would end up buying it sometime anyway. I'm weak -- I know.Also, I said before in the same post
