I love this commercial...

I'm so proud...

Although I'm not entirely sure he deserved it, Rocky did graduate from Puppy Training class last week. This is the picture the instructor got of him looking oh so happy and adorable in his graduation cap:

This, of course, is him trying to flip the hat off his head. He was not real thrilled about wearing it.



I think he's going to miss going to class, so after the holidays, I think I'm going to enroll him in the intermediate training.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I'm a pumpkin head!

I'm posting a most ridiculous picture of myself, because I am very proud of the fact that I was able knit a hat for the very first time.

Thanks to Crazy Aunt Purl for this hat recipe. It was way easier than I thought, and so much fun to do! Follow the link if you want to make one of your very own and be a pumpkin head like me! (Come on, you know you want to...)

Playing Catch Up

You'll notice that I removed some links from my sidebar. Since we finished Library 2.0 over a year ago, I haven't used much of the links I added. Gone are technorati (which I never really got), LibraryThing (since I now use GoodReads and like it much better), and some other links to web pages that I never actually used. Surprising even myself, I left my link for del.i.cious (did I spell it right - do I care - it's a stupid name), because I actually do occasionally use it.



So, I may not post as much as I (or my few readers) would like, but I am proud of the fact that I do post at least once every month. It is always my intention to post much more often, but never seem to get around to it. And, I also appear to have completely given up on Library 2.1. Perhaps I'll get back to it someday.



The one thing I haven't given up on is my knitting! Yeah! I just finished an adorable pink blanket for my friends new baby - which will be shipping out on Monday (none too soon since she's now almost 2 1/2 months old). I also made my very first hat - which came out quite well, if I do say so myself. Stay tuned for pictures to hopefully be coming soon. And now I'm working on a sweater. I think I'm in over me head a little with this one, I'll know soon enough. I can't get enough of knitting. Wherever I am, and whatever else I'm doing, I always think "I wish I was at home knitting." And yeah to me for venturing away from all things square/rectangular!



So that's about all. Oh yeah, and I bit the bullet, succumbed to peer pressure and finally joined Facebook. I know in a previous post, I said I would never do it, but I found out that a bunch of my Colombia cousins are on, plus some Aunts and various other friends and relatives. I'm not sure it really has improved my contact with any of them. For instance, I found one of my best friends from high school on Facebook (whom I haven't seen or talked to in about 8 years), so I added her as a friend, and she confirmed me as her friend - but we haven't actually exchanged any messages! All I've gained is the knowledge that she is still alive. Which is a good thing in itself.

So I've rambled on long enough. Cheers y'all!
