It's 1:15am on a Saturday Morning. I like to call this "me time". I'm just sitting here, relaxing - contemplating a movie and a little knitting. I did some shopping online last night - got the peace fleece kit to make myself the "everyday cardigan" in Perestroika Pink.
I also bought some denim yarn to make Devan a pinafore for her birthday...as well as a kit to make her this spring jacket.:
does she need the boots too??
I ought to wrap up some projects that have been waiting around, so i don't feel any guilt starting new ones. The problem tends to be that I have no time for knitting. My buying habits outweigh my completing habits. By ALOT. But hopefully this "need to knit" that I've been feeling will help me complete some projects.
In work news - I've been BUSTING ASS trying to make a bunch of different "not-sure-we'll-ever-use-this" projects come together. Ugh. After typing al of that, I need another vacation.
Calgon, take me away.
OH-- PEE ESSS: Here's a picture of Jenny riding the bull at the junction.
I really like the Junction. There's an all male revue thing on tuesday that i was asked to go to -- but... ugh.. I have to work. Luckily the Bull is coming back in March on a Saturday! YEssssSSSssss
That song "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt.... yea. It makes me want to stab myself in the heart.
Also I hung out with my pal Jessie tonight. She stopped in to show me some stuff. We had fun and talked about UTI's (cuz i have one) and boners and design and how hot one of the sports dudes is.
I just found a little drawing that Devan made of "a dragon" (looks like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh, but who cares) which was inspired by back to back viewings of Spirited Away, which was broadcast on the Cartoon Network this weekend. Awesome awesome movie. I especially love where the big baby is like "if you don't play with me I'm gonna break your arm" cuz it's totally creepy.
Ok I'm a little disgruntled lately. Right now I'm pissed off at my laptop because it keeps freaking out. I got it back from being repaired and it's still BROKEN. The keyboard and mouse keep GOING CRAZY. It's really annoying. The fan and spacebar are also still broken. I still can't upload my wonderful photos. I should just get a flickr account and post them there, right?
In other news, I am ok. My husband is making me crazzzyyyy because he keeps flipflopping on whether he wants to be a mature adult or a toddler. I know. It's hard. Ok that wasn't nice but so what. This weekend I'm going to clean out closets and take down Christmas Decorations. I'm having a hard time saying bye to Christmas this year. It's pathetic but I don't care. I'm going to get this place organized for once and for all. Or maybe I'll just sleep and watch movies all weekend. Which do you think is more likely?
I'm supposed to be drawing a charicature of John Madden and Al Michael's for Sunday's sports section about the super bowl. Do you think I'm ever going to do it? I don't either. I'm too busy hemming and hawing and feeling sorry for myself for being so unlovable.
I think I'm going to get my nose pierced this weekend. or, rather, I want to get my nose pierced this weekend but I probably won't be able to drag myself away from the couch/bed/floor/stairs, you know, wherever I collapse, to go do it.
Oh, and in some embarrassing news - I went to see LTJ with Jon at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park over the weekend. Just before they came out (after the 3 opening bands finished) I had to stumble outside - where I threw up partially on myself and partially in a garbage can - and then I turned around and looked at my husband and passed out and fell on the ground. (at least this is what he tells me, cuz I don't remember it) It was, I guess, from heat exhaustion or something. Probably dehydration too from drinking so much friday night (remember - the bullriding - which I chickened out of)

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.

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.
