  My First Blog EVER!

Hi, my name is Lauren and this is first my blog. I just learned about blogs/bloggers and blogspots last night at my first session of Chester County Stitch and Bitch! Woohoo! I have FINALLY found people who love to knit together!

Everyone seems to have a blog, and yet somehow I managed to get along in life without really knowing it even existed. I used to be so on top of things as far as technology is concerned, but I'm afraid that staying home with my two young sons has fried my brain. I don't care what anyone says, there is only so much of, "He's touching me, He took my toys, and He's looking at me", etc. a person can take before the mind begins deteriorating. So, in an attempt to salvage what (if anything) is left, I am going back to school in the fall. I say 'back' to school because I went to college for a little more then a year. I was majoring in Journalism, and was the editor of the school's monthly newspaper, The Gazette. I loved it, but due to some events that were occurring at that time, I was forced to take a break. Unfortunately, every time I tried to go back, something else came up. I haven't taken a class since the spring of '99, so this time I am really going to do it. I am determined to continue my education, even if it is only a class or 2 at a time. Wish me luck.

Back to the whole Blog thing, this is so cool! I love the idea of blogging. I've tried several times to keep a journal or jot some thoughts down, but I could never keep it going beyond 3 days. Hopefully, I'll do better with this.

As far as Stitch-n- Bitch is concerned, these people rock! They get together and knit at BARNES & NOBLE some times!!! It is my second most favorite place on earth next to Disney World. That's right, I love Disney World, Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse coffee mugs, reading, knitting, talking (could ya tell?) and drinking coffee. Can you imagine what my happy place would look like? Here's a visual- Put me in a Starbucks inside the Magic Kingdom with my cell phone, some yarn and needles, People magazine, and a Mickey Mouse mug with either a Vanilla Bean Frappucino OR a White Chocolate Mocha in it (depending on the season of course) and I am good to go.... I really should try to get out more.

Ok, I have rambled on long enough. Have a good day!

~Lauren
