Enchanted

I got this movie a few days ago but was just able to watch it tonight. I want a fairy tale of my own. WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Tired and unmotivated

grrr i have stuff to finish, but have no desire to do anything. arg. quick someone motivate me!!!

Ok on to better and brighter things.. I have found myself drawn to watching Crossing Jordan. For some reason it is better on re-runs then when it came out on tv live. lol. I also seem unable to keep a train of thought for very long, I have misplaced my camera and it sucks because I want to take some pics. Sadly it's a small camera which makes losing it a bigger possibility then if i had my dslr. hint hint, dang hubby doesn't read my blog. oh well it was worth a shot.

I feel lost today with no real reason. My blog doesn't seem to have a reason at this point. ha ha.. when does it ever.

Some crazy stuff has happened lately, between my mom being sick and having surgery, my grandma having to move in with my brother, and just life in general... I feel like a lot of my thoughts and writing are disjointed, not able to connect with the previous sentence. Usually when this happens I wind up taking a break from writing, however the last time I did that I didn't write for about 18 months give or take. I don't want that to happen again. I like writing too much for that to happen. I hope I can snap out of it soon.

Rough few weeks

So the past few weeks have been pretty rough lots of personal stuff happening, lots of things I haven't blogged about here. I try to keep this blog light hearted and fun. In a nutshell, my mom was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a few weeks ago, she had surgery, got an infection, but luckily is now doing much better. But I haven't been myself because of all of it.

Lately I am not myself, not wanting to finish projects much less start ones that I need to, it's not cool. I'm trying to get back to myself and hopefully that will start happening soon.

I am still trucking along on my BFF's scarf, which is still just kinda half way done. I need to get off my arse and get it done, winter is over for her and I feel like crap for not finishing it sooner. *sigh*

Right now it's nice outside, weather is perfect. Perfect amount of sun, right amount of breeze, not too hot, not too cold. Perfect. I wish it would stay this way, but I know it won't :(

maybe i'll post pics later of my WIP's and how pretty it looks outside. :D
till later today.

Back to home.

So I made it home safe and sound. I got a new toy thanks to my dad. So this is now where I can Blog. :D I can't believe that I got a laptop for my birthday. yippee for me.

vacation

Soooo..... I'm in El Paso right now, staying with my parents for the next week. So I won't be blogging as much, mainly because I will have to blog from my cell phone which also makes posting pictures next to impossible.... boooo. Anyway I'll pop on to update. Have a great sunday, well what is left of it. :D

Smoke alarms

Mine are possesed. I do think. We haven't been here a year and we have changed the batteries 3 times. WTH I don't get it. I don't want to let the landlord know only because right now I don't have the $75 fee they charge to get someone to come look at it. So we live with an intermittent beeping when the smoke alarm deems its too hot and feels the need to beep. grrrrrr

Frogging

I had to undo 13 rows of my baby blanket. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! All because i missed a Stitch 13 rows down so it made me one off. something I probably could have lived with but the perfectionist in me couldn't. I forget to take a pic of what 13 rows of yarn unraveled looked like but you can guess I was pretty pissed about the whole think. Took me another hour to get it all back. *Sigh* so now i am just 1 row ahead of where I was yesterday thanks to that snafu.

My sites are down. grrrr

I hate when vbulletin is acting up. All my fav forums are down right now. WTF is up with that. now is not the time to be screwing with me. arrrgggg.. ACK Craftster is down how will i cope... imagine me running screaming around going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Cart God what I have I done to anger you??

I some how offended the cart gods. Now every time I get a cart at the store it is jacked up. What have I done to unleash this bad cart Karma? 99.9% of the time i put my cart back in the corral. I don't abuse my carts when I am in the store. I never leave one hanging out in the middle of an aisle. ok once I did that, but it was an emergency. Please just unload this unnatural hatred you have for me and let me get some decent carts.
Thank you much

Not Enough Time.

I always feel there isn't enough time for stuff. There are so many awesome patterns I want to try, but there just isn't enough time. Not to mention, money for the yarn and people who will appreciate the work. lol. But that is the big mystery of life right? How to fit all this stuff into this 24 hour period each day. I know I have horrible time management skills always have. I don't think I could organize and hour if I had too. I'm easily distracted. See already my blog has wandered off to some other subject. Sorry..... I sometimes wonder if I have ADD but realize nah I'm just lazy.

Inspiration

A lovely lady at the 'ville posted a picture of a blanket she had but no name to, in hopes that someone could give her the name of the pattern. Well we got a name of the possible designer, but for me that lead no where. She did however show a close up of the stitches, which lead to easily deciphering the pattern. whoo hoo. So me being drawn to this blanket. I picked up my hook and some baby yarn I had bought for a different project that didn't pan out, and started making stitches. Someone mentioned that it was a multiple of 12 + 7 more then enough for me. :D I'm very proud of myself for figuring out the pattern as well as not working from a pattern, since I am a pattern girl. Anyway my progress so far. I have no name for this blanket. Some input would be nice. leave me a comment with some cute names.

Babette..

Soo, after much coveting of the babette blanket featured in a spring 2006 interweave crochet magazine I bit the bullet and bought a copy of the pattern. I love this blanket. I want one sooooo bad. However this means, I have to stop being lazy and join as i go.. which I am not good at, and I have to make the effort to sit and finish this. but I'll enjoy my post purchase bliss for the moment. Worry about the process later. lol so here is a pic of the blanket. it's quite lovely looking.

New scarf

I was inspired and got some help from a lovely lady over on Crochetville. She helped me make a crazy stitch scarf. it's awesome I love it... Too bad it's not for me. It's off to a friend who doesn't know she is getting it. lol and here are some pics of me modeling the scarf. enjoy.

Updated blog

As you can see I changed my blog a bit. I was a little bit bored with the polka dots, so I went for the gusto and made it minimal and simple. Probably the only area in my life where this is possible. lol. At any rate. I'm tired today. I need some desperate sleep tonight. maybe I'll go veg in the room with fight club and pearl harbor while the kids kick it with the new Wii game.

Sweet Sweet Victory!!

I finished a blanket. Picture me running around screaming in the streets!! I"M DONE I'M DONE!!!!!!! YAY!!!! just picture it because I ain't doing it. lol
Anyway. I'm tired the blanket kicked my ass that is for sure.
here are some pics. Enjoy!
