What to say to wake me up at 4am

"I threw up!"

Poor little Devan. :(

That's all.

to do list

-Go see a specialist for 2 root canals (yayyyyy)

-cry

So it didn't go very well at the dentist. I got 5 shots of whatevercaine and my cheek got numb but my teeth didn't. So then the dentist said to go see a specialist because it just wasn't gonna happen for me.

Now I'm at home and the pain is starting because I'm not numb anymore.

I have plans to go see Borat tonight but ow. I don't know if it's a good idea.

5 hrs til dental hell

I finally had enough of tossing and turning all night so I'm up. Vicodinafied. Toothaches are the worst. WORSE THAN CHILDBIRTH. i mean, if they last for weeks like mine have. There's no cute baby at the end...

I'm looking through some of my flickr favorites, like Trip Print Press, mav, evanichole and compiling a folder of fresh ideas and inspiration. I do that alot. Jon is kinda pushing me to make a list of things I need to get my letterpress going, because I've been sort of whining that I don't use it and that I'm sad to see it just sit there and because he's being a very cute and supportive husband.

I don't need much for my press,but I am just so scared of being mediocre at EVERYTHING that I don't want to try anything. I guess I should have considered this before I went crazy tracking down a press. But I want to do it and I have ideas. I'm just afraid.

I am tired of being mediocre at everything. I want to be good at something.

Gift of Warmth

I've been out of the loop lately, hopped up on happy pills and reeling from the pain of my root canal needing teeth, but I finally ventured out in public and realized that my box is on display throughout the county!

I designed the logo, etc for this box a few months ago and then I heard nothing else about it, so I figured, like most things I do, this would not go anywhere. But here it is, in 3D form, and being used to collect winter coats, etc. for children in need, throughout Sussex County, NJ. Kinda cool.

In other news, I made some revisions to my wishlist and it's now updated over in the middle column. If you're feeling generous, I'm willing to warmly recieve your gifts!

The dentist broke my spirit

I spent an hour and half today getting 'numbed' at the dentist, without success. It's not much fun to get like, 7 or 8 shots into your gums and cheeks for NO REASON. I left with a toothache and a giant swelled up jaw/cheek. Fun fun fun.

Other than that, I've been really busy and missing my little Devan.

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!
