I've never been much for art but...

but these pavement chalk drawings will blow your mind!!


My brother-in-law just sent me an e-mail (or at least, I just got to read it!) about this amazing artist who works in chalks and sidewalk! His name is Julian Beever and his website highlights some of his amazing works. The depth and reality of these chalk drawings is absolutely amazing and it's really worth a look!

Where, oh where, is spring!

It's been awhile since I've posted - been a bit busy lately - but, once again, it's snowing! It's a pretty, soft, light, fluffy snow so I don't mind it too much. I may even be able to clear the sidewalks with a broom! The weather forecasters are saying that it'll be near the 60s by next week so we won't even bother snow blowing the driveway - just let it melt!

I've been pretty tired the last week though quite focused which usually don't go hand in hand for me. Go figure! When I'm focused on what needs to be done, I'm too tired to do it!!! My temp has been dropping for the last two days so I'm sure that AF is on her way soon. I'm only on cd 26 which is early for me but last cycle was long so I supposed my body's still regulating itself. With all that went on over the past month, I was pretty sure that Chris and I didn't time our BD right and I wasn't expecting to be pregnant. On to next month, I suppose! I just have to call my doctor's office now and see when I should stop taking the progesterone. Left to my own devices, I would stop now but want to check with them first.

I haven't been knitting much but have been writing for at least an hour most week days. I'm really enjoying it! I'm about 85% done with my afghan and really want to finish it but I think I need a bit of a break - not to mention the fact that I don't know when I'll have any free time for it anyway! I'm hoping to get some pictures of my knitting projects posted/linked today. In a knitting yahoo group that I belong to, Love2Knit_Dishcloths, someone posted about finishing all of their UFOs (unfinished objects) and I'd really like to be able to say that some day! My sister-in-law and I are going yarn shopping later this month so I must restrain myself!!!

We have our last dart match this evening which I'm very glad about. I LOVE hanging out with the girls but the season gets SOOOOOOOOO long. We've got a meeting about the league party next week and then playoffs start so I've got a bit of time before I can relax on a Wednesday night but at least the end is in sight!!

I'm getting that stupid box at the bottom of the page saying "Could not connect to Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail." This really ticks me off!!!

Anyway... since it will probably take me quite awhile to get this posted - what with trying and retrying - I'll quit here and try to organize my knitting projects. Perhaps it's a sign.
Have a beautiful day!

Blogger problems!

I've been trying to post something all day and blogger's screwing with me again so I thought I'd post a small test post and see what happens!
