In progress...

Two projects that are currently WIP's

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

Sprinkler woes

Apparently a degree in lawn maintenance is required to work my 5 dollar wal-mart sprinkler. I must have spent 10 minutes outside ( in the blazing heat btw) trying to twist that 8 sprinkler sprinkler thingy so I could get to the one i wanted. GAAAHHH!!!!!! O.M.G it was a nightmare. to say the least. all so I can maybe water our lawn. I know i know people will ask but Michelle its midday, yes I know, but i can't water at night due to lawn fungus, it gets so hot and humid that no matter when I water temp will be about 80 anyway. So I was watering today and thought I'll just keep watering till my front lawn gets water. My poor lawn needs it.
At any rate. Being outside has exhausted me. so off to my room i go. I think i need a nap.

new project/ending project

I am almost done with the baby blanket i posted about a few posts down ( the purple one) for our pregnant baby sitter. I have also started on a matinee jacket I have been wanting to start. I finally got a 2.00 mm hook ( i had started it using a c hook it was no good) but now I am good to go with the right hook. I also got a Crochet Today! at Hobby Lobby the other day, and there is a shawl I want to make, but it's made from thread and intimdating. ohnoz. but I think i will work through it because it is just too pretty not to make.

I'm tired since it is almost 1 am. and D is out at a party, i never sleep well when he isn't here. Anyway i'll post more later. Night all.

I can't believe he called me a pyscho

Classic line from Tommy Boy, my son after soccer practice. all that is missing is the raging deer. lol

Interesting morning

I found a frog out front in our ice chest. I whipped out my camera and started snapping. he was patient at first, but then it wore thin and he hopped away after i let him out. enjoy the mosaic. :D

Major/Minor annoyances

My favorite forum is down. An annoyance right now because I wanted to go lurk and post.
Youtube is being a butt about uploading my video. grrrr i really wanted to upload it hello youtube get your act together. My kids lost the toilet paper holder for their bathroom. gahhhh This weekend Ds will be team captain which means I get to make snacks. yay ( note the sarcasm). This also means I get to go back to Sam's ( for the 3rd time this week) for snacks.
This day has just been crazy, all around.. hopefully it ends soon.
oh side note I finished a project. i'll post pics later

For some reason

I love this video. I stumbled across it one day on youtube. It's just adorable. The family is so sweet in this video it just makes my heart soar everytime I see it. ( incase you couldn't tell this is not my video nor my family, i just really think it's cute plus I love jack johnson. lol)
