it's tuesday. my grandma died sometime in the middle of the night (last night/this morning). It stinks. I still really haven't dealt with being sad about my grampa dying. and when I think about it, I really never dealt with my grandma linette dying, and all this death keeps making me think about it. I was on my way home from the mall the other day and I was listening to the radio and some song reminded me of my grandma linette dying and I just started crying. Sunday night I was laying in bed and it sort of hit me that my grampa died ( i don't know why my reaction time is so delayed) and I just laid there and cried until I fell asleep. This is weird. all the dying can stop anytime now....

Hi. I'm coming to you live from Jon's parents house. This weekend Jon and I went exploring and found ourselves in Warwick NY.*which really isn't all that far from our home, but I've never been there and it was cool. * There are lots of humongus houses in Warwick. It makes me sad when we go look at nice houses. because then we always end up going back home to our apartment.

I finally took my Christmas tree down. It feels so good to be done with Christmas, except now my apartment looks bare and ugly. I'll have to find something to put there. Of course, our apartment would look better if we had some drapes. okay bye

i'll bring home the bacon bits

we'll make our parents grandparents

i'll take you out for breakfast at night

and then we'll go to sleep

:o)

I think we're going to eat breakfast at the diner (for dinner) tonight. Devan's in her car seat waiting. We just got home from the mall. There are some stupid people at the mall. Stupid dumb dumbies! I saw a teeshirt I liked but I have a hard time justifying 15.99 for a teeshirt. Come on people. 15.99!? And I also saw some pants I liked, but I just bought jeans in January, and even though these are not jeans, I still cannot buy them without feeling little twinges of guilt. I know I'd end up taking them back.

When I went over to macy's some lady asked me to take a survey. I said "no thanks". So then I leave macy's and i am sitting on a bench with devan, drinking my root beer and wiping the snotties off devan's nose, and this same woman I said "no thanks" to comes over to me and says "i know you said no, but i just want to explain this, we're paying women 5 dollars to try this purfume on, take this survey about it, and then bring the survey back on friday and we'll give you 20 more dollars." I asked a few questions, like "can I smell the perfume before I try it on?" and she was like well you have to put it on for a half hour to get the 5 dollars. And I said no thanks, because if it's gross, it will make me sick and I don't want to smell gross all night. Anyways as I am saying this she says real snippy "OK, Don't. I just saw you here, alone with a baby and thought you could use 25 dollars" and she walked away.

Is it wrong for me to be offended by her assuming that A. I am alone B. I need 25 dollars. I mean jeez, I was wearing a sweater and nice jeans and nice shoes. Devan wasn't in rags either. Weird. Maybe I am over analyzing this, but it irritates me when people are a. rude and b. make assumptions. okay. later poopsies.

hi hi hi. I'm still in ohio. the reason i am here is because my great grandma wuebker is in the hospital. she's recovering(??) from triple bipass surgery. I was told that she wasn't going to make it, and so far she is.

anyhoo, I am really really bored right now and what i feel like doing is redesigning my website, but i can't figure out for the life of me how to use my moms adobe illustrator the way she's got it set up. And trying to play with it seems like more trouble than it's worth

2.04.2002

i'm in ohio and i don't want to go back to nj.

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!
