It's Thursday. Jon and Joe want to see star wars tonight. I don't really care.
Yesterday I exploded a diet dr. pepper bomb in my kitchen. It was one of those very annoying situations that you don't normally find yourself in. I spent the entire day before cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. Oh, and painting. I finally painted the cabinets. Anyways, that night I say to Jon on the phone "could you bring home some diet soda?" So he does. The next morning for some reason I wake up early, Oh, I know why, Jon overslept. So I got up with him *so I wasn't actually early, my perspective was a bit skewed* and I noticed that the dr pepper was still sitting on the counter and I wanted to cool it fast, so I stuck it in the freezer.
Without thinking, a few hours later, I got it out of the freezer and began to open it.
Suddenly, I thought "!I don't think you're supposed to do that!!"so I tried to screw the top back on and BOOM, it exploded everywhere. I was soaked, the walls were soaked, my freshly painted cabinets were soaked. It got on the ceiling, on the floor, on the fridge, on the stove, in the sink, on the rugs... It was a mess. And all because I cleaned it and painted the day before. These things don't happen to messy people!
Yesterday was a NICE day. I woke up at around 8:30 to jon singing happy mother's day (to the tune of happy birthday to you). He served me breakfast in bed, which was quite good, and then excused himself to go to his car and get me my mother's day balloon and cards. Then he brought devan to me. After that I took a nap on the couch while he played video games. Devan fell asleep on the floor. I woke up to a loud bang which i can only assume to be lightning striking somewhere awful close to here. I heard sirens going off and saw a firetruck or two across the street.
all in all it was a nice day. we didn't do anything but that's okay. I made tacos for dinner and then I watched the simpsons and malcolm in the middle. after that i ironed jon's pants and watched an hbo undercover thing about sept.11th. it was sad.
Devan and I went to Eckerd today to pick up her ointment for her eyes (she's got PINK EYE!) Her eyes are all gunky and gross. click here to see a picture of a cutie patoot!
We also drove to the Galleria (at crystal run) and I got her a stuffed cell phone that she calls "daaad" and a mirror for her rear facing seat (Why I bought it a few days before she can use her regular, big girl car seat, I don' t know. But what I do know is that she enjoys it and it has Elmo on it and that's what counts.
I am roasting a chicken and my stomache hurts. bye.
I made baked ziti for dinner tonight. My stomache hurts. I want dairy queen but I do not want to go get it. I am all ready for bed and I don't feel like putting other clothes on.
When I was in Ohio I went to the oaks and I'm not sure what is going on with this wedding business. Maybe we'll go to Vegas or something.
I'm a little devestated because of this situation with Jon's job. I don't really know what's going to happen. I mean, a week off? good. upaid? bad. Devan needs a couple new clothes for summer. I do too. Jon should get some. Our rent went up. again. We were thinking of moving, but how can we afford it now?? And how can we afford our wedding?
I edited all of my angry sarcasm out of the last entry, since it's probably not a good idea to vent here. I realize this is my journal, and should be the place that I vent this anger, but oh well. Too many people look at this.
So I'm out all day trying on wedding dresses with my friends, and fantasizing about my wedding (that already worries me due to a very limited budget) and i get home only to find out that JON HAS GOTTEN A PAYCUT! oh, and alternating weeks of unpaid vacation. I guess every 3rd week if the situation arises?? I don't really know.
I mean i want to see jon more, but I also want to have a place to live, and to not have ruined credit.

I've been asked to make a Christmas wish list, so here it is. Click on

(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.

(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.

(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 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.
