MIA...

So I've been MIA for well. about a year. Lots of things happened too lazy right now to catch everyone up. lets just say I've moved from Katy to El Paso, started school and am just trying to make it each day.. so far soo good. :)

i'm a slacker i know...

i haven't posted in forever. been too busy having fun. But now i'm back hopefully to be posting more. Ever wonder what it looks like when the world is rose colored. lol yesterday the sunset was amazing and it was pink and gold outside. I took some pics hope they look good. enjoy a view thru some rose colored glasses.

Just some pictures.

they have these giant mushrooms that grow around here. thought i would snap a few pics on mine and D's walk.. enjoy. :D

2 new baby blankets

all done yay!!!!!!! i finally finished this one after holding on to it forever. i just needed to edge it but i couldn't find the yarn. blast... but i found it and then I guess i messed up on the original edging with my count. But it's done and that is all that matters. :D
the second one was made for a good friend and I wanted her to get it before she saw it posted on my blog.

Free rice anyone??

well not for you silly. Something I had stumbled upon about a year or so ago, you build your vocab and for every word you get right you donate 20 grains of rice to feed the impoverished. also if you miss words you don't lose grains you just lose your level. So check it out. improve your vocab impress peeps at work and well do some good while you are chillin' at the computer wasting time. :D http://www.freerice.com/
to date ( well actually just since yesterday when i changed my settings lol) i have donated 4420 grains of rice.
don't forget to go up to options and change your settings so it can keep track of how much rice you have donated and what vocab level you are on.

Some days are harder then the day before

I miss Matthew. A Lot. Some days I am ok, but somedays I just need to dwell and feel sad. Today is that day. I just miss him. I torture myself going to his myspace page, knowing he will never log back in, sending IM's to his long gone yahoo name. Sending comments knowing damn well he will never get them. But I can't help myself I have to do it. He shouldn't be gone, he should still be here sending random texts and making obscene phone calls to me. I am soo angry at him for leaving the way he did. it wasn't his time he shouldn't have gone that way. I am angry at myself for not calling when I should have..... i'm sad and angry...

I Love Used book stores!!!

So there is this really awesome book store near where i live. I just turned in a bunch of books. I have 94 bucks in paperback credit. w00t!!!! that is awesome!! only 3 bucks in hardback but that is ok because I like paperbacks more anyway..... Looks like i am set for a while with 'new' books. Anyway. not too much else happening here other then its hot yet again. yuck... The ac is ok but the attic fan seems to be out D uses the attic for a sauna that is how hot it gets up there. He went to go check it out and before he even got up into the attic he was sweating. just wearing shorts. Yuck.. i sent the Property manager a repair request. I hope the AC guy comes soon. Anyway that is just a small update on me..

so it has been a while

I have updated in forever. so here i am..
Not too much going on just finishing projects, cleaning up and spending summer with the kiddos.
I have pictures. :) enjoy.

The Rose Garden 'Ghan from the summer crochet today! magazine.

My first round ripple. for a baby.

Finito!!

More AC woes

it's down again. *sigh* I need to email the landlord. hopefully it will be fixed soon.

In progress...

Two projects that are currently WIP's
This is the Rose Garden 'Ghan from Crochet Today!

This is the Through Any Window Baby Blanket which can be found here ( pattern)
Did this one in baby bee yarn, mint, chocolate, and cream. I think it looks like a yummy ice cream or cookie. :)

Panoramic Picture Via my camera

my camera has super powers. ha ha no it has this awesome panoramic feature that allows me to take 2-3 pictures and splice them together to create a panoramic picture sans photoshop.. enjoy ( oh this is my house BTW)

How does this work??

Ok last night go to bed at 1 am, wake up at 9 ( thanks lawn guys) start to feel Exhausted around 12 perk back up around 3pm now here it is 1.41am and i am wide awake. Ugghh wth man. So what do i do? work on my WIPs of course ha ha ha.... That and watch mindless tv. D is passed out in the room snoring up a storm so that leaves about zero chance for me to get to sleep in the bed. And to top it off the sinus pressure ( cold vs allergies still in testing phase lol) is killing me. I have had terrible afternoons where my head is just killing me. And right now i can't smell things unless I am up close and personal. D comes in the house and says what is that smell and i think great what happened. So i tell him i can't smell so I have no idea what you are talking about. at least it wasn't freaking gas or something. *sigh*.

Anyway... Side note I updated my ravelry page with my new WIP's and other finished projects. yay!!! i know uber geeky of me. I really need to update my myspace, but i am too lazy to do that... besides i am sure i will encounter some kind of issue doing so. I can't get away from the dang errors over there. alright i guess i wasted enough time already. I'll post some pics later today.

Ants, puppies and kids

3 things that have irritated me this week. grrrr.. first i guess some rouge fire ants made it into our house and one felt it would be best to bite me. so it did 2x on my foot. right where my flip flop sits so uber itchy and uber uncomfy... My doxie whom i love, decided to destroy a skein of yarn i was using in a project. so I need to buy a new skein ( it wasn't cheap yarn either grrrr) . The kids. lets just say summer vacation needs to be over. Fighting over tv time, computer time. ARRRGGGHHH that is it everyone is banished outside!!!

Invisible

Do you ever just feel invisible? In life, on the internet? in general. Lately I feel that way. Most is my own doing. I don't 'put myself out there'. I like my little bubble of nothing. I am just tired.. Living here seems to drain me. I feel alone for the first time ever. Something that I couldn't fathom. I don't seem to fit in here at all. I'm just a different kind of person i guess.

True to life?

So this subject kinda came up on a forum i frequent. I kinda got peeved and well here on my blog I can elaborate lol. So people often say that Army wives is not 'realistic'. My response to this is DUHHHH it's a tv show. If it was supposed to be realistic it would be a reality show. And lets be honest how often is a reality show that realistic? Its not it's cut for drama and all that jazz. I guess I can't understand how people expect this one show to be so realistic? Is ER a realistic view of County hospital docs? probably not. Or Grey's? Well first Seattle Grace is a fictional hospital so again gonna go with no.. I can understand that some people feel it is cheesy or poorly written/acted. and that is fine but to sit and say that the show is not realistic enough. what is that. How do we know anyone's reality? Unless you are living it nothing is realistic. So that is my rant for the moment. Hold on more coming in a different post. ha ha ha

Army Wives

it's back on and I am sooo happy. I know that it is sometimes cheesy and not true to life, but I really love it for the entertainment value. oh yes. Anyway my sundays will once again have meaning.. yay!!! This sunday's episode was amazing and wrong all in the same moment. lol I was so upset over Amanda biting the dust. I just felt it was wrong on so many levels. Oh well can't win them all. sigh****

Finished set

So i finally got off my lazy butt and finished the dress to make the baby set. I had been putting it off mainly because i didn't want to attach the new yarn. pathetic I know. lol at any rate. here it is in all it's pink glory.. enjoy!!

front of dress

buttons that D thought looked best with the dress ( yes they are orange. :)

Waffles!!!

I know it's late, but I get bored at night, so tonight I made waffles. i like to make them after the kids go to bed so they don't eat them as they come off the iron. I'm currently experimenting.. I keep trying for the eggo cinnamon toast ones but can't quite figure out the recipe oh well lots of waffles in the mean time. yum
