long time in the works

so the best hubby in the world bought me a netbook for xmas. He is the most wonderful man in the world i am often not sure how i got so lucky.

I havent been able to raverly in ages but i also havent been knitting funny. My life has been up in the air since the move and what not I am pretty sure I only know were three projects are. I know they are all generally in the 'yarn closet' but i really need to organize it to find anything. I have mittens in there some where i started on mothers day i should really finish while its cold enough to need mittens.

all moved

Well we had a late summer fall from hell. We had to move since the landlord we had been renting from apparently opted to not pay is mortgage the last year or so. At that time we found out he had spent the security and rent we gave him so we are assed out on that money but we could sue him for it. Since he doesnt have said money that will prolly lead to a payment arrangement of 10$ a month that he will never pay us. Oh well

Tomorrow marks our 3 year anniversary that many people most likely never thought we would make it to.

I am finally able to make it to knitting on Wed since I live in the same town. And I have even made it to a friday one wooo hooo. Now to start knitting again. I havent finished a project in ages.

owl arrived....

I got the most amazing package last night... It is wonderfull and I cant wait till i can get batteries latter on and post some pics.
Thanks Emma

weighing in

Well kinda... I am going to go to weight watchers again... I have been watching my friend Gina aka sleepyeyes lose and amazing amount of weight on the program, along with one of the hockey moms and I need to do this. I need to do it for me dighton would be happy to help. So now the debate is do I head there now or weight till monday. I know maybe it sounds as if I am not serious but i am leaning towards monday only because if I go now i wont regularlly be going on Saturday ams as I would typically be at work. So if i wait till monday I will be able to go every monday.
When the lazy boy gets out of bed I will have him snap a pic as a starting reference and we will take it from there.

So in a chilled and iced martini glass

add

tropical Blue pucker for color

a splash of soda... I like fizz

garnish with a sugared rim and a twist of a lemon peel for pizazzzzzz.

new job

So I have accepted a new job with Dunkin Donuts. My son says to me you will surely save money on coffee now. I think I must have a problem dont you.

So my last day at the 'Boo is July 19th though I am thinking this week end would be better since I wont get vacation time till this time next year.
I will be starting my training on July 20th. sure hope I made the right decision but to late now.

ocd knitting

So I have figured out my problem lately I have a need to cast on projects and actually suffer anxiety when i am almost done. Wont those needles feel unloved if they are naked of my lovely yarns.
Now since most of you only know me via cyber world you dont know that I have actual OCD. Most of my issues tend to deal with food... Hello y am I fat you would like I would be thin with that knuttiness but I am off track now. Due to the OCD I actually knit on a schedule. Full out on a excel spreadsheet checking off each project as I knit on it. Each project gets a day and then I must move on, now since I work sleep crazy hours a day is finished by going to sleep. I started my schedule to help with holiday knitting and now cant stop. This was the plan originally there are seven days in the week day 1 = project 1, day 2 = project 2 etc. with day 6 a cast on day and day 7 a you pick em and the schedule continues as I finish a project it is blacked out. If I dont knit for some reason like well work... I cant move on. Now here is my problem I really want to knit on my shawl tomorrow since its Wed. night knitting night but its a cast on day so I cant unless I cast on something now since I have not touched needles today. So here i sit at 1:45 am about to cast on just so I can do a you pick 'em day on my Wed.

long time gone

I cant post pics of arkieknitters socks till she gets them so you will have to wait on that but her is some other stuff

jaywalkers for me

two pattern repeats in my salmon scarf. Its knitted in Jojoland 2 ply nine other people will be adding on to this 5 inches each and then I will do two pattern repeats at the end to kinda tie it all together
Cashmere. I tell you what I think this yarns only purpose in life it to roll around in it nekkid

I have been a bad blogger mainly cuz I know this is for me and know one really reads it but whatever.

I have finished some things of late. I pair of jay walkers for me... I pair of socks for arkieknitter on ravelry. and the start of my scarf for a travelling scarf swap thingy

I finished some thing

SO i finally got something off the needles yippee. The first one is cookie a's Stricken the second is Barrows in 3IG Lewis colorway which was a club yarn. The Third one is a Jaywalker in a garden colorway by Unwind Yarns. For now number 2 and number 3 will live together in harmony (hahaha get it) till one is a pair and can graduate onto real feet. My bet is on number 3 since it lives in my purse and can be done at hockey.

Why not me

So If you actually know me you know we have been trying to have a child for well a long time and it has not happened. This normally means I shed lots of tears at least once a month when I realize it again didnt happen. We have gone through some tests and some drugs and so far N is the problem but I need meds to make up for it. I hate the Clomid makes me feel like crap for the entire month shit if i feel like that I damn well better be pg. So I come home for work the other night to N telling me some one we know has recently knocked up his gf and he doesnt think he is ready to be a father. Wait there is more.... this past summer he got another women pg not the gf but a mistress and had her get an abortion, she might have took off with the thing she is gone from his life now. N bites his tongue as A$$ is telling him this wanting to say if you dont want to be a father stop having unprotected sex. Anyways N tells me and again tears.... wow maybe I can cry 2x this month.

Week from Hell

Well this has been week from hell. Work was crazy busy and I feel like I was ready explode. In the end it leaves me thinking I need a new job but I haven't even been there for a year yet and it looks like i am a flight risk if i leave. Honestly I really want to work for Darrell again but its the same business so I am sure the issues will be the same. I think in reality I just wanna go home....good ole Claremont.

Thankfully I had Friday off and got to go to knitting night I really really needed that
