In Honor of Peggy

I have changed the background to Breast Cancer awareness in honor of Peggy.  I should have done this sooner, but I didn't think about it.  Sorry Peggy!!

Peggy's surgery date is March 8th and I now have a deadline for the Prayer Shawl.  I'm actually about 3/4 of the way done, so I don't think it will be a problem.  I plan to mail it by March 3rd to make sure it gets there on time.  That gives me 2 weeks and this is doable.  I'll try to take a new picture of it tonight. 

I started watching Lost Season 1 last night.  Its kind of weird.  Oh well... Is different and that's what I'm looking for in t.v. that I can knit too.  Have you noticed that all t.v. seems the same lately?  Its either a hospital show, cop/law show or reality.  With maybe a corny sitcom thrown in for good measure.  Seriously, how many shows do we need about a new cop or a new nurse on the job?  I'm thinking 1 of each.  The problem with cable is that we apparently feel a need to fill up all of the time slots to justify the existence of so many channels.  I digress...

So Lost is a little weird, but at least its different.  I watched the Pilot episodes yesterday while working on the shawl.  For those of you wondering why I've never really watched it before... I didn't have cable in my home when it started and didn't get the channel it was on.  Shocking!  I know!  I survived almost 10 years without cable!  (They are called books, kids.  You read them and use your imagination to supply the pictures.  Its so much more fun.)  In fact, until I married Jerry I did not have cable and we did not have it at home when I was a child.  There was a brief 1 year period or so where my Dad tried it.  But the cable company ticked him off and he had it removed.  (I know... The General got mad at something and dumped it... another shocker!)

So ya... until I was about 30, no cable t.v. in my life.  And amazingly, I survived.  However, I will start watching Lost on DVD just to see what the big deal is and why I haven't been allowed to call Kira on Wednesday night for the last few years!  Plus, it gives a good background to knitting.  ;) 

Have a wonderful day all!
