Knitting!
Well....
I've now learned how to knit. I'm knitting scarves, and hats, and NOW.... I'm learning new ways to knit...
Like the Fair Isle way of knitting. When you knit Fair Isle, you have two different colors of yarn, and you basically just switch back and forth between the two. When I saw it... at first I thought it would be terribly hard. But in reality, it's quite simple once you get the hang of it. You would knit it in the round, leaving a section to of steek. Once you have it the desired length, you cut at the steek, right down the middle, which will open up...... then voila! You have a Fair Isle blanket, rug, whatever! I know I've left out some parts to this, but I know you can find out more about it online! Just search for Fair Isle knitting!
It's beautiful!!!!
I'm going to try tackling arm and leg warmers next.... and then socks, and sweaters, and mittens....... the possibilities are endless!!!

"Another Great Day In Paradise"
That's what my boss says a lot...

One can't really tell why people say the things they do...
Is it a misguided sense that everything is right in the world?
Is it that we think of things one way, but really they're not so?
Will we really every know?


Ok, enough of the deep thoughts...
I'm at work right now...

*Theme from Mission Immpossible playing*

So I can't really talk right now... But then blogging is not talking anyway is it???

Hmmm......

Tupperware! It's great! My last party was $611 worth SOLD! which is a very good thing for me...

Man, these Bensoners are in to Tupperware pretty good.
It's a wonderful thing.

*Tears*

But anyway...

No Problem....
A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all.

On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work.

When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest.

Discipline was not a problem from that day forth!

An Update...
Ok, here I am again.
Finally.
Anywayz....
Tonight I made the purchase of more plane tickets, this time to go back to Arizona.
I have been sitting on the fence my whole life, and it was a time for me to decide. I could not decide, meaning that I kept going from one decision to the other, and so I was counseled to decide, and then, go home.
I want to stay, I want to learn, and grow, but, I'm ashamed to write that I am not willing to give up what I want for the good of the cause. I want to get to that point, but I'm not yet.
So...The decision has been made. I will go home, and I will spare the girls here my bad example.
I made the wrong decision, but I have made a decision, and am going forward with it.
I arrive in Tucson at 10:23pm, Monday night.
One week from now.
I've been here about a month and a half, and have enjoyed every bit of it!
The Sabbath studies. Sabbath hikes. Prayer meeting. Choir practise. Living with othe believers who were not my family.
All the blessings that I have received, and what have I done with them?
I have gone my own way.
Anywayz....
So, yeah, off I go again! :-(
I don't want to go, but this is my decision.

More at a later date...
