As much as I love to knit, and crochet, I'm finding my interests expanding to this phenomenon called "American Tribal style" (ATS) Dancing. I've just finished a 6 week beginner's class and have been feeling so much better about myself I went ahead and signed up for the next class up. It is a lot of fun and makes me feel.. feminine, less worried about how my waistline looks, (now that I've had three kids it's hard to be a size 10) and I have connected with other women my age that share the same interests, which, up to this point, have only been here and there.
These women also knit, crochet, and surf Ravelry and know who the Yarn Harlot is. Even miss Castlefibers is a classroom name. Wow. I'm not just a cyber knitting junkie talking to .. whoever ever ever decides to read this.
Of course it takes time to learn, and by jove, I think I have a few "dance skilz" !!

In the meantime, I study chemistry and math, try to keep the kids fed while learning how to be a good Surgical Tech, and stay busy by knitting a few rows here, and crocheting a few rows there.. usually before I fall asleep.

I'm saving up for a digital camera also so it's easier to post photos to back up the things that I talk about.

Facebook keeps me connected to old a new friends, even friends I didn't know I had, and chat here and there when I can. I'm at the Lane community college campus after a lab class right now trying to figure out. Stoichiometry..sigh..

I will be online at home by the end of the week- exciting! I signed up with Wildblue satellite internet. I did a lot of research, and it looks like a long-term plan that will go with me wherever I decide to live or go to school. It will also help with the kid's school projects, etc.
Might even get to see an episode or two of " community"... :0)
