Well we survived another year! Thank goodness that one is over. I don't mean to sound negative, but many things happened this past year that I don't think I want to redo! Be that as it may, we are on to bigger and better things here at Upper Pond!
I'm not going to try to make any big resolutions...just try to be a bit more patient, enjoy the time I have with my family and let the small stuff go. That's it, nothing fancy, just try to be the me that I enjoy being around. (some days, I don't even want to be around me!)
Three years ago I decided to take the plunge and started sharing my life with anyone that wanted to stop and read. I'm so glad I made the choice to put myself out to the world. I have "met" great people, envied the creativity that's out there and have explored many new things which I might not have, if I hadn't discovered it online.
Spud and Chloe and Colinette Jitterbug
So thank-you for stopping by my little part in the blog-o-sphere! And in celebration...let's have a give-away! Leave a comment...come out of Lurkerville...and introduce yourself. I will be giving away a skein of Spud and Chloe: Outer and a skein of Colinette Jitterbug. I'll close the drawing on January 4th and let you know the winner on Tuesday, January 5th! Good luck and I'm looking forward to meeting new friends!

Hello ! Out of Lurkerville I come ! I love your pics and stories of your 2 boys . I have two too - 15 and 12 . When not fighting they get along famously - I think all brothers are like that , may-be ? Anywho, love your blog - happy New Year !
I think I am the Queen of Lurkerville! I am Ann from western Massachusetts. My children are grown and I miss the days when they were young and full of life. I love your blog, and several others, seems like I learn something every day!
I am happy to have met you too.
I am also very happy to say good bye to 2009 and hello to 2010.
No need to put me into the drawing, I just wanted to say I enjoy your blog. It concerned me that you had to deal with VRIP. I am happy it worked out!
I've so enjoyed your blog this year... the black bean soup recipe is a new family favorite of ours... happy new year!
Congrats on the three years, Jane! That's a biggee! No need to put me in the drawing (my one day "working" at the LYS has affected my stash in immeasurable ways...) but I wanted to add my congrats to the list! Hope 2010 is a winner!
Happiest of New Years to you Jane.

Happy New Year to you, Jane! I love coming to this honest, funny, and 'real' place of yours. Your resolutions are big. There's a great PBS series starting tonight called 'This Emotional Life' that deals with happiness and letting go - i think i'm going to tivo it - just in case. Congratulations on 3 years - that's big too.

Hi Jane,
I am coming out of Lurkerville.
One of my goals for 2010 is to comment more on the blogs that I visit.
I also have 2 boys (14 and 10) that play hockey. I also have 2 girls (12 and 8), one that plays hockey. I love your blogs and your pictures. Have a great 2010.
Jane Jane Jane... I'm happy that you're part of my circle of bloggy friends. *mwah* Happy New Year to you!
