Another year over

Not a very original title. LOL!!! I wish I'd remember to keep up with this site because then I'd have a reference point for things I want to remember. Geez! So this is the last day of 2012 and of course the world didn't end on the 21st. The only thing that happened is that Winter, one of my favorite times of year, began. Yeah! Trying to remember what I knit this year. Not a whole lot, that's for sure. Little things. One teeny mochi penguin for Sam. I started another but still have to finish it. I started crocheting a lady bug toy for Allena and maybe will finish that. One sitster. An autumn leaf. Five hexi flats for me and five for my Tokmas spoilee. Knit a little on a scarf I started a few years ago. It's just straight knitting so very boring. I also knit one small toy bear that was supposed to be for the kids in Sandy Hook but they received so many donations that they asked that people stop sending toys. So The Yarn Barn, who is sponsoring this will now take knit toy donations all the time and give them to children in hospitals. I think that's a great idea. Things in my life this year. Semi got fired, definitely retired, from Midsummer Magic Renaissance Faire. Son got his own apartment. Two good friends passed away. Read 22 books. I'll have to try for 26 in 2012. I remember when I used to read a book a day! *sigh* Have myself an admirer. A nice guy named Joe. He's asked me out several times and I say no but even so he's very happy to see me when we run into each other. I don't want to have any relationships, but it makes my heart so happy when someone looks like they're truly happy to see me. I became co-editor of the Elks newsletter. I am also Inner Guard. I may run for a knight chair next election. Can't remember what else I want to remember. LOL!! Hopefully I'll remember to come here from now on and leave myself reminders.
