Must say this sounds like me - though I think I am a good dance, I don't care what anyone says!

6 strange things - though not before breakfast
My friend Maritza tagged my for this meme and I have been wracking my brain to come up with something to write. While most people who know me think I am odd, personally I don't find anything really strange about me at all. So here goes 6 (not so) strange (to me) things:
1. I notice peoples hands first and if they have long, slim fingers it freaks me out. It just gives me the heebee geebee's. I knew a guy in college that had these freakishly long fingers - I swore he was going to become a serial killer. He may have for all I know - I stayed far away from him back then!
2. I tell my self bed time stories. When I can't sleep I make up stories about the Sidhe, and Elves and Wizards and entertain myself till I fall asleep - unfortunately I never remember them in the morning - I think they are really good stories too.
3. I will change the route I travel randomly - never go the same way somewhere - you never know who is watching.
4. I have had the same reoccurring dream since childhood - I am lost in the Museum of Natural History - I wonder endlessly through the exhibits - the old exhibits, the whale is still hanging from the ceiling - never finding my way out or knowing how I got in there.
5. I have absolutely no sense of direction - I can get lost driving home. The last time I was in Chicago for training - I got lost every.single.day. going from the class room back to the shuttle bus. Hopeless.
6. I have no luck at games of chance - I will lose every time - in record time - that's why I don't gamble. If I had the only ticket in a lottery - it would still lose! Yet I consider myself a very lucky person.
Well that's it - that is all I can come up with. I leave it open to anyone who would like to steal it from me. And if you can think of something I might have missed - let me know - self examination is good for me.

If I had a photograph of you, or something to remind me...
It has been so long since I posted I have lots of photos to show you, and since I have nothing terribly interesting to say, I will just show:
December 29 I took the boys into the City to see the Tree, we had brunch at Cafe Henri in LIC then took the train to Manhattan.
The Tree
Cartier wrapped up
NY Public Library - they can hardly contain themselves, they are so excited (yawn)
Grand Central Terminal as we headed home
It was a fun day and I think they enjoyed themselves.
Knitting:
Lady Eleanor finished
close up of crochet edging - I think I am going to pick up one more ball and make the edging longer.
And so concludes my photo essay "What I did on my Christmas Vacation" by Colette M

we get back up and stand among the crowds
I'm back.
I know it has been weeks since I last posted, but believe me, it's not cause I didn't want to - I have just been very busy with work. I have only been in my office 3 1/2 days since Jan 2. Meetings and training.
Last week's meeting was at Foxwood's - so that was good! More about that later.
Christmas was fun though now it seems a thousdand years ago. My vacation was good, but I didn't get any knitting down.
I started a new sweater, a variation of Sesame by Melissa Wherle and did very little on any of my other projects.
It's good to be home!
