I'm New At This

So, for my first blog, I will just say that I am very new at this. I have great intentions of posting weekly. Let's see how that goes!

I was hoping to come up with something exceptionally witty and meaningful for my first post, but found that I didn't have anything especially worth while to say.

Not that my life is boring! I am an avid crafter and have been taking sewing lessons lately. I have made a baby hat for my niece and aprons for all the in-law women. I am currently working on a civil war period dress and some vests for my husband. I have also been commissioned to discover the knitting pattern for a lovely ear warmer that someone at work discovered in a craft shop. Well, I cheated and found the pattern online. It saved me a couple hours of work, so I will call it "being efficient" rather than "cheating."

Yesterday, my husband and I entertained some friends with a turkey dinner and Ticket to Ride (the game with which I am currently obsessed). Unfortunately, my husband was sick all night and thinks it was food poisoning! I'm fine but am a little nervous about calling up our guests to see how they fared.

Tonight is the VanderZand/VanTil/Rosendall/Hamilton Christmas dinner. I know you are looking at the date of this post and wondering if I mistyped. The Rosendalls were in Phoenix over the holidays and this is the first time we can all get together for a family celebratory dinner. I'm OK with that! More MEAT!

I am now going to try to make this blog more interesting by linking it to other blogs. How is that for self-deprecation?
