I'm just sitting here waiting for the realtor to call me or Jon and give us some sort of reassurance or something. I've tried e-mailing Jon but he's not responding so I'm kind of dangling here. I'm tired and I want to take a nap but it's such a nice day. Who knows how the weather will be tomorrow (with the way stuff is going, it could be a snowstorm or it could be a rainy and crappy out.
Bored bored bored. I have 1 more paper to write, total. It's on drama. I don't wanna do it. I got my stupid Islam paper back today. I got a B+ on it, which is ok, since I went in the totally wrong direction with it. Ohhh wellll. I just want it to be over. I want summer now.
I still can't get over Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" by NIN.
The "everyone I know goes away in the end" part really kills me so much more than Trent Reznor's singing ever did.
We're going to see 2 condos today. I love the second one. (I already saw them on Thursday, But now it's jon's turn.)
Atkins isn't working so well for me. I started over yesterday, but at the end of the night I gave in and ate some chocolate covered almonds. And just as I began eating them, Atkins on Larry King started. Larry King annoys the crap out of me. I hate how lily white his skin is and how he has that tight watch on his wrist. I'm a jerk, I know. Anyways, I'm trying to talk Jon into doing Atkins. I think we'd have some amazing results if we'd do it and actually stick to it.
I'm drinking a delicious Dunkin Donuts coffee "light and sweet". I hate how I always order it "sweet and light" and they always correct me and i'm always like "oh yea, that's right" when am I going to learn to just say it right the first time?? I really think I'm beating certain cravings I've been having. I don't care about pasta, potatoes, and that crap... It's the sweets that are getting me, and coffee... And I'm not even a huge sweet eater at all. Maybe it's just the time of year? You know, dairy queen is open, love is in the air.....
i just waxed my face for the first time ever. i can't really tell if it worked or not yet cuz my skin is so red i can't see any of the hair. it hurts now but it didn't hurt when i did it. I was going to go to the mall but i can't go with a pink face. Also jon might come home a little early so i want to be here when he gets here.
Today doesn't feel like a Friday. We saw a place we want to buy but we can't come up with the down money and the closing costs to put an offer on it so we're screwed. : (
I did the atkins diet for 4 days and then I went nuts and ate lots of bad things last night. Now I'm starting over again today, hopefully i will do better.
My mom had my buy this body flex thing and I'm gonna try it out right now while no one's here.
Just to keep you updated on this severe spring snow storm that is crippling our roadways, here in north jersey:
I took a nap at 8:30, after I finished typing and printing my psych paper. When I woke up at about 10, to turn on the tv for Devan, I glanced out the window and noticed it hadn't even begun to snow. I laid down for a little longer, while Devan watched Dora the Explorer. When I woke up again at 11, the snow had just begun to fall. As of right now, the snow is falling steadily, but it's not really sticking and I'm kind of annoyed. I could be 15 minutes into my 4th class today. It's really annoying the way they do this. I wanted to do my presentation and get it over with. Oh Well.
Also, in case you were wondering, my stomache hurts. I need lunch. bye!
It's 7:07 on a blustery Monday morning. If you're wondering why I am postin' right now, well, pull up an ice block and lend an ear, and I'll give it to you straight!
I went to bed sooo late last night. I was doing paper after paper. I was a well-oiled paper writing machine last night. Unfortunately the subject matter I was writing on, Megan's Law, rape survivors, motivation and cognitions of sex offenders, treatment statistics, and rape statistics MIXED with that scary website my brother showed me last night (i'm not going to link it here because too many fraidi-cats read my journal) left my heart pounding and my head troubled and I had a bit of difficulty winding down and finally falling asleep. I was afraid so I made 85% asleep Jon hug me even though it was annoying and I wanted to stretch out.
After getting not nearly enough sleep, I awoke to all of the schools in the region pre-closed, anticipating some nasty-ass weather. We're supposed to get over a foot of snow today. Oh, I forgot to mention, when I woke up and checked the clearchannel.com website for closings, mine was the only one not listed. So I got showered, dressed, medicated, make-up'd, packed, shoe'd, and thought "what the hey, I'll check one more time" - by the way, I was set to leave the house at 6:15 with Jon, so I could drop him off in Denville, and I could take the car to school since mine is being held hostage by the mean, mean Sunoco men. - Anyways, what do I see?? My school is finally listed on the clearchannel website. HOWEVER, my school's phone system and website still list my school as open, which is causing me some anxiety because I was scheduled to have a 45 min. presentation on Emily Dickinson this morning at 8.
Me n' Jon stopped over at the Dunkin Donuts and he for some reason got me a chocolate chip muffin that I'm kinda not really interested in eating. All I wanted was coffee.
So the good news is that I am home today with my little cutey Devan. We are going to watch her Sponge Bob dvd's that we got yesterday, and we're going to color with her new crayons and play games and eat snacks and stuff all day long, since I worked my tail off yesterday getting all my assignments done. I actually still have to type my psych paper, but I've got it all written and all of that good stuff. Hopefully when I type it I won't get as upset as I got while I was researching it.
I want to go back to bed, but I'm totally wired now. The coffee wasn't a good idea this early. I forgot what else I was going to say.
I lost another LB. yay. That brings my grand total to 15 pounds. I'm on my way!
I have about a million projects due next week and I don't really want to do any of them. I hate school right now.
I also am trying to decide on stationary for wedding stuff. It's hard. Especially when jon and I are starting to feel uneasy about having a wedding at all.
I just noticed this afternoon, that my brother Rick mentions me (my journal) on his website, because of my stance on the war in Iraq. Well I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I've changed my stance on the war from being completely against it, to being completely jaded about it. In other words: I don't really care anymore. I just kinda realized that nothing I say is going to change anyone's mind. Nothing I say is going to end it. I end up arguing needlessly with people about something I'm not in any position to change, so I give up. That doesn't mean I'm going to start liking the president, or that I'm going to start listening to anyone's arguments or any articles that you might think of showing me. (IM TALKING TO YOU PAT!!!)
Jon wants to eat out tonight. I do too. I am really hungry.
What's up with the weather being amazing all week when I'm in school, or too busy to go out and enjoy it, and then snowing when I'm finally able to? How stupid.
I'm back on WW, and I've lost 2 pounds, bringing me to a grand total of 14. Yea it doesn't sound like much, but at least it's something. Devan's yelling and running around so I'm having a little trouble concentrating.
We might watch Red Dragon tonight. That's the movie we went to see at the theater, but when some dumbass kid caught his jacket zipper in my hair and ripped out a chunk, I went a little nuts on him, and then didn't really feel much like enjoying the movie. Yes, I know I was wrong for going nuts on the guy who didn't mean to hurt my head, but seriously, he was being so annoying with his group of friends, whispering and talking and stuff all through the movie - and then he announced he had to "take a leak" and went barrelling through the isle slapping his body into the back of my chair...
I'm getting a new engagement ring. Mine is broken. : (

(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.
