Out with the Old...

... and in with the new...

I will say that I hate feeling like a quitter. And I am not a quitter. Sometimes it may take me a while to complete a task, but I will eventually get it done.

For example: I have this blanket I have been crocheting now for the last... mmm... 6 years or more. I think it is one of those continual, never-ending projects that I have. The blanket is HUGE. I mean, humongous! It will probably be able to fit a family of 4 by the time I am done with it. I am nearly complete, a little more than half way.

But that said and having provided a little background on myself, I will say that I am not giving this project up.

It will be hard completing the daily task, with working as a teacher during the morning and being a mommy 24/7, but I am going to do my darnedest to do this.

I am excited! I got a new camera! It is a Samsung NX100. It is one of those new compact systems cameras (CSC), or as DPS seems to enjoy calling it, a mirror-less interchangeable lens camera (MILC). It is like a DSLR but with the compactness of those smaller digital point-and-shoots! I love it! I just cannot wait to be able to build up knowledge on the functions, and maybe be able to get other lenses (like wide-angle, fish-eye, macro). It is SO exciting! It has an adapter so that I can use Cannon EOS lenses with it! I hope to one day get that! How awesome that would be!

Anyhow, I am going to be doing research when I can to find some themes for the weeks of 2012.

Hope you all have had a wonderful year! I am excited to find out what 2012 has to offer! 2011 made me busy with a baby, a special education teaching position in a great district, and whatever else life decided to throw at me.

Until next time, take care and enjoy these last few days!
