I have learned that very little
knitting gets done without TV. Watching
television was always my thing to do while I knitted, but TV has grown to be SO
BAD that I don’t watch it as much anymore--in fact, almost not at all. So the knitting isn’t getting done and I am
feeling the loss of both my knitting relaxation and any aspect of excellence in
television programming. I am learning to
knit with my iPod and audiobooks. It is
still a struggle because I tend to go to sleep when I listen to audiobooks but
I am trying!

I’ve learned the secret to weight
loss. I’ll bet you all want to know that
one!! Thanks to Weight Watchers and the
habit of tracking what I eat, I have lost 30 pounds. It was a tough fight but I think I stumbled
over the missing puzzle piece (for me at least)…wait for it… F.O.O.D. Yes, food is the culprit and what I have
learned is to not be controlled by it—even chocolate. I’ve discovered that the first bite of
chocolate tastes the same as the whole candy bar, but let’s face it, sometimes you
just can’t stifle chocolate!! Anyway, at
this advanced age I am learning what is truly important in my life and food is
not one of those things.

I have learned just this week that
I don’t seem to have the annual beat-my-chest and pull-my-hair craving to go
Christmas shopping!! Christmas
shopping—it doesn’t even sound exciting.
I approached the family at dinner last weekend and described my odd
malaise only to find that they all (mostly) felt the same way. There was a little nudge to share in gift
giving on Christmas morning, but only in so far as to wonder what we would do
with the entire day if we didn’t. So we
decided to each give a gift to a charity and on Christmas morning share
whatever information we have found about that charity with the rest of the
family. I’m excited and looking forward
to it!
The pups are talking
amongst themselves. They must be sharing
Christmas secrets or deciding what to get the squirrels in the back yard for
Christmas. I’ll bet it will be good!

Macy says, “Let me
in. The squirrels have all gone home.”
Max says, “Do not fool
with me!! I am not in a good mood!”
Life is good.

Hello Katherine - hoping you can tell me if there are any more Comfort Zone double point needles around? Bought some from you a few years ago and loved them.
Hi SuAnn,
Yes, I still have plenty of every size and can probably even give you some color choice. We are only taking payment through Paypal at this time and are charging $5.00 per set plus a flat shipping rate of $2.50. Just let me know what sizes you want and your color choices and I will try to match as closely as possible.
Thanks,
Katherine
