Boris Vs. the frog

Apparently he had no idea what these things were. it perplexed him soo. lol

Outside fun

I decided with the summer almost full upon us, that the time had come to spend some time outside.
I bought a cheap pool at wal-mart ( and I do mean cheap 5.66 can't beat that) an umbrella and a patio table ( complete with umbrella and 2 chairs) for little bits. I had a slip and slide from last summer ( target clearance, yes I know i rock. lol) So we spent almost all afternoon outside. It was fun, Boris found a frog which he chased with gusto lol. Little bits spent tons of time in her little pool and I got bit by freaking ants. grrrr.

Today was crazy.

It's Thursday, my ONE NIGHT. i only ask that between 8-9 that no one bugs me. Today wasn't my day. Nothing but issues. so and so is bugging me. He hit me, where is this, not going to bed. GAAAHHHHH!!!!! O.M.G I am just upset because I missed the first few minutes of my show. grrrrr... all because someone wants a disney account. *** rolls eyes*** then all thru the show nothing but drama. GRRRRRR.... then right at the end D calls. HELLOOOO!!!! how long have you lived in this house?? Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Ok now that I got that out, little bits got glasses. I feel bad because it was my bad genes that gave her the bad eyesight, but she is happy because the first words were now i can see. yay. i remember that feeling. lol. Alright enough of an update for now. Enjoy the pics. :D

More insomnia

Grrr, it's 1.40 am, i am still up. Mainly because the hubster is snoring, LOUDLY, i can't sleep if he is snoring. and it never fails he can be silent up until I am ready to fall asleep and then start snoring sooo loud. irritates me.
However i have found i get a lot done when the insomnia kicks in... I finally loaded some music into my Sidekick. yay for that. I am almost done with the pink baby blanket, just working on the boarder now. was able to finish watching Carrier. Answered some emails. Ohh cleaned out my email in box. all very important things, that apparently can only be done when I should be sleep. ***sigh*** tomorrow I will pay for this, and Saturday I get no relief because it is soccer saturday. grrrr what fun. NOT. well it is, just not at 9 am, then again at 2 pm. and then we have IKEA to go to, to buy our table since all we currently have for a 'dining room table' i use that term loosely, is a molded plastic craft table and folding chairs whoo hoo living it up. rofl.

I forgot to mention SOS is down. which makes me upset because that is like the best place for insomnia mode. you can read tons of old ass threads and catch up on all the things you chose to forget about. lol... alright off to post this, hopefully i will get some rest soon. we will see.

another in progress

this is from a baby blanket book i bought. I have no idea what I am going to do with it.. it's just cute. lol

Missing it

Carrier is on PBS now. It is making me miss fleet life horribly. I know i know how can i get fleet life from a show about a ship. But it just makes me realize that currently that is not our life. ***sigh*** I don't know I really just want to go back to being around 'normal people' ha ha. I feel so out of sorts here. We are not around our normal circle of friends, our normal way of life. I really want that back. oh well right..
anyway here is the link to Carrier on PBS
Check it out you may learn something new.

Small update

I'm tired, and this change of weather is bugging me.... I just want it to rain already!!!!!!!! the humidity sans rain is just bugging me. I'll kinda live, but its getting to me. ha ha
I am working on the afore mentioned projects, but those have slowed to a crawl. I mainly need to come to a decision on the pink blanket, to keep going or finish off soon. i'm undecided.
Blast. Oh well that is my update for today. i'll try and post some pictures tomorrow.

WIP

So i have been semi working on this off and on, and it's almost done. yay I am unsure if I should leave the edge as or put a simple edging on it. I wound up getting the book that this blanket was featured in but I don't like the edging in the book. anywho here are the pics!!! enjoy

Childhood memory

So I bought a bottle of sun in the other day and a memory came back to me. When i was around 9-12 ( can't recall the exact age) my mom bought a bottle of sun in to use on her hair. Well I felt the need to use the bottle and sprayed a halo on my hair. rofl i have dark brown/black hair which will turn red with sun in, so I had a red halo till the highlights faded. So just a moment in time that will forever be immortalized by a bottle of highlights. lol It also makes me wonder if my 2 girls will do something as crazy as that.

Exhaustion

Is a state i am currently in. I took 2 tylenol pm's last night and they have not yet worn off at 4.59 pm. I'm utterly exhausted. I just wanna sleeeeeepppppp.
But that won't happen till later because I still have things to do today. It is soccer practice day. yay ( note the sarcasm) I really need to finish this dang blanket so I can start the other one, maybe I will make some more progress today. It's the kitty face/bay windows blanket. I need at least 30-34 inches so that it is proportionate. I am hoping to take a pic soon. Oh that reminds me, note to self load SD card into camera and take camera to soccer practice.
At any rate, hopefully there will be some progress and I'll take pics later.

I'm crazy me thinks

Good news of the weekend we sold our truck. yay!!!!!!!!! it only sat on craigslist for about a month. But there was lots of no shows and nibbles, but no bites. Well finally we got it sold, so that monkey is off our back. Our friends came down to visit for the day really, which was nice to see them. I am working on two baby blankets.... wait scratch that 3 baby blankets, 2 baby dresses and 3 pairs of slippers. ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! but i will prevail.
I will post pics as i get done with projects. Oh wait and i'm still working on my potholder madness.

Houston and La Porte

Here are some pics via my mosaic. We drove around down town saturday and went to La Porte as well.

Flickr

Arrrgg they have a cap on uploads. *sigh* that blows that means I can't do my two mosaics I was going to because there are too many pics in my album. I know I know I could always upgrade, but i'm cheap that is why all my web stuff is usually the free stuff. lol
So I am sitting here stewing about my flickr access about to be cut off. allow me a moment or two.................................
Ok moment over.
At any rate, i usually don't have hate or contempt for flickr so this is just a momentary lapse.

I am almost done with a baby dress and blanket for a friend. She will be having a little girl so the dress will be a punk rock style, hot pink with some black stars. rock on little girl.

Picture time

My Mosaic :D

Soccer Season is upon us

and i am going to lose it lol.
I have had to run back and forth to the practice fields twice a week because their practice days are on different days. *sigh. this weekend their games start 10 minutes apart, thank goodness d can come and watch one while I am at the other. saves me the stress of trying to figure out what the heck I should be doing. At any rate. It is helping me schedule myself so that I don't run around all late to everything. I will post pics in the morning too tired to do it now. :D
