Check out on of the cool nail polish sites I like. They are having a give away. One way to supplement my habit!

The snowy Monday blues

What a day! Monday, snowy commute, and lots of calls.  Sometimes you just don't want to get out of bed. Amazing that the obligations we have keep us doing exactly what we profess to not want to do.

What about you? Did you have a good Monday?

Got to spend the morning commute with my good friend Nicole. She is a wonderful young lady that I met on the bus a few years back. We've been good buddies ever since. She always has such a cheery disposition and a friendly word for people she meets. We all should strive to have a good attitude for our day.  I try to use her example in my daily life.

I am making a scarf for her as a second half of her Christmas present. While I adore knitting, my wrists and hands can't always take it for too long at a time, so I take my time on projects.  I am basically finished now, just need to get it packaged up and take it over to her house. I will have her model it and take some pics to share.

I will leave you with this thought!  Take each day as it comes and choose to have a smile to share with others, and your own day will be brighter.

A little bit about me

Hello All,
I'm new to this blogging thing, but have been enjoying learning so many things from this wide world of internetness, that I thought I would join in.

I am a 44 year old mother of 3, with a house full of pets, an obsession with knitting, nail polish and writing. My favorite animals are zebras, lions and hippos, but mostly I just love animals. I was going to be a zoo keeper when I grew up, and with the 3 dogs, 4 cats, snake and chinchilla, and my daughter's rat and turtle, I'm just not getting paid to do it.

This blog will be my chance to share my writing and interests with a broader group of people and learn from them. Please feel free to give me advice and share your experiences with your comments, just don't be offended if I don't follow your advice. After all, experiencing something for yourself is the best way to learn.

Enough for now. I have some laundry waiting.
