My trip to IKEA was a waste. Whenever I go to IKEA, I fill my cart with ridiculous items like this and then I get to the area where you're supposed to pick up your furniture and pay for it, and I get all flustered and suddenly hate IKEA and then I leave my cart wherever it's at and I go to my car and leave. IKEA is not a place that I should go by myself. There is too much temptation.
I also made myself this incredibly sad mix cd to listen to in the car. It's called "I thought our butterflies liked each other just fine" and by the time I got to IKEA I was feeling positively suicidal. I was playing little games with myself through the store. "If one more person bumps into me and doesn't say 'excuse me' I'm going to go home and kill myself." or "If I see two more hipsters in denim jackets I'm going to slit my wrists." It wasn't pretty. By the time I was out of the store, I had vowed to commit suicide in about 16 different ways.
I'm having a love affair. With misprintedtype.com. It's an ongoing affair, that heats up every couple of months or so.
Let's see... Life news. Well I had this dream that I was preggers and I had twins. They were a blond boy and girl. and they were cute and chubby and I was getting them dressed and that's basically all the dream was, just me getting them dressed.
Love news.. I don't know what love is. I'm emotionally retarded.
Knitnews... I guess I'll be working on a pink piggie and the hourglass sweater, even though I can't wear it til it gets cold again. I hope my sockpal likes her package cause I thought it was a pretty nice way to make up for being so damned late. I'm excited for her to get it!!
That's all my news, dudes. I'm totally bored and lonely so if you're reading this and you're my friend, or if you want to be my friend, or if you were my friend but you dropped me (like it's hot) perhaps you could talk to me on IM - pxexgxgxy or e-mail me at pwuebker@earthlink.net because I LIKE E-MAILS and I LIKE FRIENDS...
Well I'm going to bed in a minute. Just thought I'd come here and ramble for a few minutes. Tomorrow (well, later today) I'm going to go do what Peggy's do best: Shop.
I have to go to Ikea in Paramus to get some shelving/storage for Devan's room. I'm going to be going by myself so I am sure I'll come home with more than just the shelving.
In other, crappier news, Jon and I are going to legally separate. We decided today, after 3 months of weirdness, that he will be moving out, putting his stuff in storage and filing the paperwork. I can't say I'm thrilled about the decision, but I am relieved that we've finally come to some kind of a conclusion. Now it's time to get on with my life. The whole situation is completely amicable at this point, which is nice.
I think after he moves out, we'll be fixing this place up and selling it. I'll be moving into an apartment with Devan, closer to nyc but not too far away from here. I just would rather be down that way more. I plan to go back to school in the fall, at least part time, and I'd like to get into the city more to go to museums and stuff. Life isn't over for me, it's just weird right now.
How's it going? How am I, you ask? Oh I'm doing alright. It's really late at night right now (actually it's Fri. morning) so I won't say much. But one thing I have to do immediately is publicly thank Cher for the beautiful and super comfortable socks she made me.
I also want to thank her from THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for her the wonderful note she sent me. I was so mad at yahoo websites for locking me out of my site so I couldn't do this sooner. The note was so sweet it made me cry. And the socks are wonderful. Thank you!
And here's where I show you my finished socks for my poor pal. I'm going to do my darndest to make up for being sooo late.
I hope she likes them. They followed me everywhere I went for the last two months and shared alot of quiet, reflective time with me. I hate to give them up because the last two months have been so good and bad and confusing... But the girls at work loved them so I hope my secret pal does too :)

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.
