Slacking Again

Well I realized that I've been slacking again and have given myself a new year resoulve to pick up the slack! So as of 1/1/2010 I will honestly and truly try to keep this blog up to date at least twice a month! So for now, Have a nice New Years and try to stay sober; if you can't then PLEASE DON'T DRIVE!

Okay with the big "Facebook" craze that started a while back I guess that all I can say is that I have finally started a page.

An answer to Penny's Question

Penny said...
Wow cool. Are the reunions posted somewhere or is it just for a certain group?

For Penny and anyone else who is interested...

Classmates is a great place to get connected to your old classmates! It's free as long as you don't want to start sending messages and finding out who has been looking for you, if you want those options than you need to pay a yearly fee.

But you can keep up to date with the different events and you can even start your own event and post it!

Newfield Class of 77 Reunion at Smith's Point Beach

Well my reunion was this past Sunday, June 28, 2000, at Smith's Point Beach and I just didn't notice how fast the time was slipping by so of course I missed it! But Nadine was so kind to zap Scott a group picture so that I can see who was there. I really wish that I had paid more attention to the time I would have enjoyed seeing everyone!

WORLD WIDE KNIT IN PUBLIC DAY!

World Wide Knit in Public Day, celebrated annually, will actually be two weekends this year on June 13 and 14, and then again on June 20, and 21! The goal of the event is to bring knitters together and raise awareness about the wide variety of people who love the craft.

I know that I'll be out there knitting! Will you?

I want to give the credit for the announcement where it is due...Lion Brand Yarns! I "borrowed" it from their notebook announcement that I got from blog@lionbrand.com

There's a glimmer of light at the end of my tunnel

After so many applications,in person, on line and faxed, and so many interviews where you can tell by the questions that they think I'm just too old; tonight I finally saw a glimmer of hope at the end of a long tunnel!

I just got off the phone with the School District that I applied to for teaching Night School and it looks like I just might be teaching a Beginning Knitting class there on Tuesday nights this coming fall. The woman said that she is just going to check a few references and that there has to be enough people who sign up for the course for them to be able to validate having the class.

Yeah, I know that there may not be a lot of people who want to take a Beginning Knitting course, but then again there just might!

So, EVERYONE...PLEASE keep your fingers crossed and your prayers going so that I just might be able to do this.

When I was young I wanted to be a teacher but school was expensive and I had to pay for it myself so this is my 2ND chance, my "other door" so to speak. I know that I can do this, I just need the opportunity to be able to prove myself!

So, Pray, Pray and Pray some more so that GOD will grant me this hearts desire of mine.
