Sunday January 24,2010 new year and what?

I did start the knitting practice I wanted to do, I am over halfway on knitting a scarf with two different yarns. One yarn is regular 2ply and the other is the special feathery yarn, it looks beautiful and it is RED.
I finished the book, Alphabet of Dreams by Susan Fletcher, wonderful. I will look up more of her books in the future. The book was a selection in the book club at church, we just had a meeting this past Monday. I heard enough good things to persevere and finish the book. It is based in Persia(Iran) in the time of Jesus birth, and it is really a travel of strife and adventure for a girl and her brother. A happy ending though. I wanted also to start the next book in the club roster for 2010 but it has not come in yet at the library, soon though. I did start reading the book The Vanishing Scarecrow by Phyllis Whitney but found I have already read this one, though enjoyable, I passed it by for the book Mystery of the Angry Idol by Phyllis Whitney.
I also cleaned out the linen closet and the master bedroom closet and dresser and took some items to Salvation Army that I will never miss. The living room is next and Brad wants to start on the basement. We are also going to ride bicycles today, starting a new year of exercise and adventure.
I picked up the next 3 books in the book club roster fro the requests I had at the library. Here they are:
The Island by Victoria Hislop
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Three Women by Marge Piercy
They are read after Winter in Kabul, which should come into the library for me this week. Exciting book adventures.
I also finished the third prayer shawl, now have to stop and put on edge or fringe to finish the two I have here before donating them to church.
Last night we had a vote at our union 555 gathering and they have a proposed contract that is good but not great, I don't want to strike but wish there were less compromises to be made, biggest is our new expense for healthcare, approx 15.00 a week for families. More to budget, sad. I just went to our union 555 website and it shows the vote was in favor of the new contract so it will be sent to Kroger for approval.
I have vacuuming and general cleaning the next two days, will probably clean carpet also. I am gonna finish the scarf, and start one for Brad without the fur yarn. I also need to make some calls today and tomorrow to mom and kids. Until later.

Okay, almost the weekend, hooray. The book I requested is available now at the library and I am excited. Alphabet of Dreams by Susan Fletcher, it is being read in my reading group, so I will tackle that one by this weekend. It is supposed to be a quick read so I hope so. Today I will stop at the library!! It has been so windy and cool here we have not walked for a few days, will have to see if we can do it tonight or I will use the stepping on wii fit. Had bowling last night, games were 157,134,139, not bad after 3 weeks off. We also got two more bowlers for a full team for us.

saturday,jan 2nd,2010

work work work, today is my FRIDAY, finally, lonnnnnnnggggg week. Today I talked to Brian and Andrew by phone. Brian will be running late after his flight on Monday so is letting Sarah pick up Frankie tonight, will be about midnight we think. I will definitely take a nap to do that. Have her all packed up and just enjoying the last hours with her, she is a Joy with a capital J.
Andrew said they had went to Target and JC Penneys with gift cards they got for Christmas, and got some good deals for the babies room. They also registered at Burlington Coat Factory for expectant parents. Interesting, I will have to go to our nearest one and check it out. They had a good Christmas in Florida and Rascal was very happy to see them return home. He was also talking about playing Mario Cart online and about sending codes to do that, will check that out too. Brad went to Walmart to get a couple of things and I watched Kutlass on dvd, very good Christian group from Portland.
Brian said he will take a weekend in a couple of weeks to come visit and to get his plants and other things left.
Brad also got his computer formatted and is up and running again. Hoorah for Brad.

work work work Happy New Year 2010!!

Well today was another super busy day at work@@. Happy New Year to all, we are starting a regular exercise routine around here, Brad is getting tested for allergies. Brian will be home in a few days to pick up Frankie, we will all miss her terribly!! I will be making rosettes this weekend for sure, and gonna try out a new soup recipe also.
Last night Dec 31st was our 9th anniversary we went out to Ding Cheongs to eat then came home and watched " You're never too Young" with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Wednesday night, we watched, Livin' It Up with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Tonight we will watch Artists and Models with Dean Marting and Jerry Lewis, we will also have leftovers from Chinese last night.
I will be glad when tomorrow is over at work, it was productive but busier than I imagined it would be for New Years Day.
