Testing, testing 1-2-3....

Welcome to the beginning of my blogging adventure!  At long last I am finally joining the worldwide blog community, one that has meant a great deal to me recently.  But before I get into that....

 

Who am I ?  My name is Nina and I live in Georgia.  I'm single, thirty-something, and live alone in a small and relatively clean apartment that does NOT have enough space for my books and my yarn stash.  My sister and I are close, and we talk almost every day, often about my three rambunctious and adorable nephews.  Being an Aunt is one of the BEST things about my life!

Aside from discussing the Transformers and catching crickets with my nephews, I try to call my parents a few times a week so Mom will know I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere.  (Don't matter how old you are, your mother is always your mother!)

Socially I stay busy, participating in my church Singles department, West Coast Swing dancing, and stying connected to my circle of friends over coffee and the occasional glass of wine.  And then, of course, I try to keep up with my knitting....

 

Here is the current situation in the staging area next to the couch.  I know, I know....but it's better than it used to be!  About a month ago I attempted a thorough organizational sweep, putting into stash storage yarn I wasn't actively or imminently working on, and organizing projects into individual bags.  But then the Christmas knitting hit it's apex and.....well, things got a little messy!

 

Anyway, I guess that's a start!  To finish my initial thought, only a few months ago I began blog lurking in earnest, and it's been very revealing and inspiring.  There are SO many people out there who have things to say, and many of them are well worth taking the time to read.  My life experience is what it is, and altogether it's been a good one.  But there are hords of people out there living life in different places, in wildly diffeent circumstances, and from a completely different paradigm.  I can only benefit from getting a glimpse into their world, expanding my understanding, and hopefully growing from the process of participating in the dialogue.
