Mystery Stole 3

I continue to make progress on my Mystery Stole. I am trying to go very slow and carefully because having to pull out rows would be a complete nightmare. I decided to stick with the Needle size 4 although I do think I could have gone down a size and still been very happy with the result. I looked around the internet to see what other Mystery Stoles are looking like. That's when I decided that I wanted to have a dark brown stole, unfortunately I ended up with a purple-red stole. I also realized that liked the stoles that were worked on slightly smaller needles. I don't like the lacy effect if it goes on throughout the stockinette stitch. I believe my stole will have a slightly lacy effect going on but I will learn to love it.

I am now testing a different software, one called Hblog, I think!

Pain in the neck

I awoke some time during the night with a most amazing pain in my neck. I thought it might be broken it hurt so bad. However, it did occur to me that if I'd broken my neck during the night then I probably wouldn't wake up. So I figure I must have slept on it really wrong and gotten a huge crick.
Today, I have decided to look around at the other blog sites and determine if I like any of them. I have only two more weeks left of my free trial with Typepad.com and I don't much fancy having to pay $10 a month for the opportunity of posting my thoughts on the web where anyone can read them. My ideas aren't worth that much...well, they are if someone else were to pay for them...
I have found a few other free bloggers: www.blog.com, www.blogger.com, www.myspace.com, just to name a few. However, the biggest complain I have with all of them is that they don't automatically adjust my photo size. I am WAY to lazy to figure out how to change the size of a picture, and then implement that learning, just to have the ability to post photos. I will continue to look around and see if I can't find another blog spot that performs for free.

Today was a very good day.

Today I had a relaxing Free facial from my local make-up counter. They are always having interesting promotions and called me a few weeks ago with this one. They just got in a new type of skin care line and wanted to let some of their customers experience the new products. I purchased a few of the cleansers and toners (mostly because I was out of my usual stuff) and really had a nice time. I also got a make-over, because what else do you do at a make-up counter?

Another Posting

Hi all,
This is just a post to see what it will look like with the other post.

A day of relaxation

Today was a good day for me. I sat around the house with my husband and watched The Exorcisim of Emily Rose. I also got another strip done for my afghan. I can't wait to finish it up because I really want to try Tunisian Crochet.
