100

Runs from June 1 - Sept. 15, 2007
_______________________________________________________




THE MINI CONTEST Runs from July 15 - July 20 (midnight), 2007




I'd like a link to your first blog post and your 100th (if you have one yet). If you don't have a blog, then give a link to the first memorable post that made you start reading blogs! The prize will be some mystery yarn and some baubles I've been making. One entry per person!




Wow, 100. I can't believe I've posted that much already. I only started this thing in March! Here's a link to my first post. I've been reading all of the entry posts I've already received and it seems to be a running theme. Either there's apologies ("I'm starting a blog. I know, I know, like we need more blogs...") or restarts ("I've tried this before but let's give it another go"). My first post has a little of both!




Things I've learned so far:




a) bloggers are NOT "imaginary friends", as my husband likes to call them. I've met several and they are wonderful!




b) bloggers are very helpful for life/knitting/computer tips and advice




c) some bloggers are thoughtless and mean because, apparently absence (and anonymity) make the heart grow colder (hasn't happened to me yet, but I've read about it)




d) I love writing (wait, I already knew that one)
I still have a lot of cleaning of the basement and the garage before the inlaws get here on Sat., so that's all for now!
I leave you with some yarn porn...
Plucky Knitter Sock Yarn - Thistle

And a shot or two of our little one. (The lights weren't on, it's just the flash of the camera making it so bright.) We went to check on the boys before bed and when we went to Davie's room this is what we saw...


Upon further inspection....
Our little guys love books!
Cleaning away, Ruth!
