hi. i haven't posted much because jon got the internet shut off. he's fixing it today. i wish i could go to ohio right now. i am bored. unfortunately my insurance still needs to be paid. then i can go wherever i want.

1.23.2002

My journal blows now that I don't complain about Jon in it. The reason I don't talk about Jon in here anymore is because a few, well, actually QUITE a few people have gotten the wrong idea about Jon and me, and our relationship. I hear a lot of people saying things like "peggy wears the pants in this relationship" and "jon is peggy's bitch" ...and I've heard the whipping sounds you people make, and trust me, you think it's a lot funnier than it actually is.

Jon's definitely got the better deal in our relationship.(I guess I shouldn't look at it that way, but, sue me, I do.) Think about it, I left my friends, family, job, and the town I LOVED to come out here and work at WALMART while Jon found a job, just so we could "live together" I made this sacrifice, and I still haven't gotten over it. Maybe that's my problem. I was pregnant and miserable all last winter, and didn't go out and make any friends or even really dooo anything. and then we got rid of brutus. (this is heartbreaking stuff, folks) I still haven't made a single real friend and I hope I do someday, because that will make my life a little brighter. Not that having Devan isn't great, because it is. It just isn't everything and it shouldn't be everything.

It's funny that you guys think I am in control of everything. All I want is equality. I want everything to be fair, and it's not, but you wouldn't know that because you only know what I tell you, and trust me guys, you don't know much.

II have stated this once in the updates part of my site, but I updated the links page. Unfortunately I deleted the good one by accident so you're stuck with a crappy messed up version because I am too frustrated to fix it right now.

i am eating a salad with fat free ranch. it tastes like crapola.

It is Tuesday morning. I am going to put Devan down for a nap in a couple minutes (when Blue's Clues ends). Stella's dragging all of my undergarments out of my room and onto the living room floor. I taught her how to sit yesterday. I used a peice of cheese. It worked pretty well. Devan will be crawling soon. she's so cute :)

1.17.2002

I got a puppy last wednesday. A chihuahua. We named her Stella. She's really small. My grampa died the next day. I went to Ohio the day after that. I still don't believe it. I woke up this morning in my bed and thought it was a dream until Stella licked me.

I got back to NJ from Ohio at 4:30 yesterday.

Hi. Last night before I fell asleep I decided that I would no longer talk about super personal things in this journal. I am also going back and editing out personal things from previous entries. Sorry, but this website is getting too widespread to be as personal as I have been in the past. :)

1.02.2002

It's been awhile since I updated this. Both Christmas and New Years have passed. Both were pretty uneventful, not that I was expecting anything BIG or anything! I saw Snatch, which I was reluctant to see at first, but it was GOOOOOD! We had a nice new years eve . And that thing I had the sneaking suspicion about, well, I was right about it, but I prevented it from happening by blowing up and basically "ruining" christmas for him. I'm so nice, aren't I? Christmas was nice. It was Devan's first, and I felt very sentimental and happy about it all. New Years was great for me and Jon. We didn't do anything, but sit on the couch and have a nice time together. I think that's just what we needed. I'm in a happy mood for the first time in awhile. I need a dentist. badly.

your attention, please!

(Nov 19) I've been asked to make a Christmas wish list, so here it is. Click on Santa to view it!



(Dec 11) I am unable to sleep, so I took time to make the blog archives work. of course, images that were on old yahoo server do not work anymore (read: anything before April 2005) so you'll have to use your imagination. Check the sidebar for a link if you're interested.

Christmas Wishlist!

(Nov 22) There. I finally did it. Now go buy me stuff:)
.......................


(Nov 7)Take note of the changes along the right sidebar. I've been reading blogs, and that, of course, means joining knitalongs! However my next task (which will be my next announcement) is to create a holiday wishlist, as there have been several people asking for one.
.......................


(Aug 6) Hi guys, How cute is this: I have a new little niece!! Bryan and Mandie's little girl was born last Sunday (I think)

and in the spirit of utter ridiculousness, I give you, Madelyn dancing.
.......................


(June 1) Here is a little picture. Obviously, these are BF5 lyrics.

(May 23) Sup dudes? I was kinda bored last night, so I made a picture.

again. only tell me if you like it. I have a fragile ego.
.......................


(May 14) Going through a wave of depression. Don't feel like doing anything except artwork. Here are a couple pictures I made. You may have seen them, since they're meant for my websites. If you've seen them as background images, excuse the tiling, I'm fixing it when I feel like it.



if you like them, let me know. if you don't, keep it to yourself.
.......................

(April 28) Ok... I've been on hiatus. Bear with me and my broken links and pictures while I move all my junk around.
Life is good and I'm glad my site is working again.
.......................

(Jan 11) Due to real life pals/family complaining about how little real life content there is in this journal, I'm going to make a real effort to include that stuff, and not just knitting stuff. I hope this pleases you guys.
.......................

(Jan 10) Today is the anniversary of my Grampa's death. We still miss you so much.
.......................

(Jan 4) Congratulations Michael & Tiffany!!
Welcome to the family, Tif!
.......................

(Dec 30) Just two quick notes today:
1. We've got another completed Casey's Coat. click to see Vito!
2. I'll be out of town for about 3 weeks. My brother, Mike, is getting married! After that I'm going to be house sitting for my mom while she is out of town. This will not have an affect on you or my blogging, I just felt like sharing.
.......................

(Dec 2) My brother has been making me some pretty cool knitting charts. I think they're mighty awesome and I'm trying to figure out a project I can use them for. They're pdf files, except the first one (which is actually not his design, it's the work of someone on myspace.com) so go ahead and have at them. If he makes many more charts, I'll disable the links and offer the chart patterns for a small fee via paypal, because, after all, it is his art work and he deserves compensation!

(Nov 28)My little sister is a knittin' fool. We shopped all over for some good needles for her. She's been using these kids plastic-y needles that I find to be really uncomfortable and annoying. We tried some aluminum needles but they were too slick and long. We finally settled on some Clover Bamboo needles and from what I have heard, she likes them the best. She's working on a lavender scarf. I'll have my mom take a pic so I can post it here.

(Nov 28) I'm back! Christmas Knitting and yarn stash enhancement is in full effect in this house. There's a new(?) Knitting/Fabric store in the town my mom lives in.  It's called Sew Krazy.

image is property of sew-krazy.com

They are currently squeezed in a tiny location just chock full of amazing stuff! They have a whole shelf of Kaffe Fasset fabrics, which you know I loved.  They had lots of yarn by Rowan and Brown Sheep. They didn't have any Debbie Bliss. The shop is working on expanding in a new location, equipped with a beautiful fireplace (My mom and I peeked through a hole in the door) and it's HUGE. This place was great and there's a cafe called Muddy Waters next door. So this place will be perfect to sit down, relax, drink coffee, and knit by the fireplace when I go out to visit for 3 weeks in January. The building is also really beautiful and contains many other interesting shops. Check it out if you're ever nearby.
.....................

(Nov 20)Someone's used my pattern! Yesss! As you may know, Casey's Coat was published in Debbie Stoller's follow-up to Stitch n' Bitch, Stitch n' Bitch Nation. Today I was looking at the livejournal.com knitting
community and saw that someone actually used my pattern! Sweet, right?
.....................

  (Nov 18)Last year for Christmas, Mr. Handsome gave me an EZ Stir. If you haven't got a clue what an easy-stir is, (consider yourself lucky) it's a device that attaches to your pots and pans and stirs your sauces for you! Ingenious! I have still not taken the EZ Stir out of its package. This year, I thought I'd make it easy on my husband and anyone else who wishes to shower me with gifts.
ho, ho, ho!
