Knitting ADHD..

Seriously. I've got it bad. Just reading over my last post should prove it. How many freaking things do I think I'll have time to work on during my 4 day, 3 night vacation. Seriously. Am I planning on being alone with nothing to do for 2 days straight?

Ugh. I think I'll just stick to a sock. I'll bring along my vesper sock, all I have to do is turn the heel on the second one and then the rest is cake. Maybe I'll bring the baby surprise jacket I've started (for charity) and call it good. Small and portable. They'll take up no room in my bag.

Put the crib together today. It's all to surreal to see it put together in the baby room. Weird. Still not used to the whole idea yet. :)

Ugh. I think I need to take a scalding shower and head to bed. I'm tired. But I don't want it to be Monday yet. Unless I can skip to Monday at about 6 pm. My parents are coming for a visit.

Hell week. Over? yes?

Ugh. Last week was bad. very bad indeed. My work moved, so this week was the first one in our new building. Which is lovely and not yet finished and that's why I live in the break room. Which sucks around 11:30 when everyone eats and I still have to work. And it sucks when there's lots of meeting int he break room, as the conference rooms aren't finished yet either.

So, on top of the move, and getting used to the new set up, I got a killer cold, and was actually out sick on Tuesday. I think (hope) that I'm over the worst of it, but now it seems my husband has come down with it. Ugh. My head was so plugged up, that my teeth hurt. It was miserable.

So, we leave for Arizona on Thursday. we're boarding the puppies at Sam and Danni's. We've boarded Cleo there before, and she used to go there for puppy day care. So I'm sure they'll be fine. I have to decide what knitting I can bring. I think I want to maybe bring my brothers sweater, and the Mommy snug I've been working on. Plus a sock or two for plane knitting. I think I've got my hubby agreed to hitting a yarn store or two while we're out there. Yeah! Yarn!

Oh, and I forgot. We found out last week we're having a boy. So I might bring along a Baby Surprise Jacket to knit. I think I might use Vespers' Knit and Tonic colorway. Either that or Tainted Love.

So, today is a day for laundry, running errands, and hiding under a blanket, as it's so freaking cold outside. Stupid winter.

It's so on.

My vacation that is.

Jan 24-27th. Phoenix AZ. Woot woot. :)

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nic. I didn't forget about you. :)

2days left?

So I did hair for a wedding yesterday, and the bride actually got teary eyed (the good kind!) when she saw her hair. Which made me get all teary eyed. Best. Reaction. Ever.

Anyway. I gots me some guilt free money, and I need to spend it. At first I thought I would buy some clothes or something useful, but I can still wear most of my normal wardrobe. And I have got a lot of hand me down maternity clothes, so I said... screw it! I'm buying knitting goodies.

First thing on my list? EZ's book The Opinionated Knitter. Can you believe I don't own this book yet? So sad. I might also pick up the Knitters Almanac while I'm at it.

Oooo! I think I'm going to get me some socks that rock too. Because I can. It's guilt free money. Remember?

Anyway. Lets see.. what else.... Jan 8th! It's coming up soon. That's when we get our ultrasound. I'm super excited. But, I'm trying to not get to excited, I'm betting the baby will be shy and we won't get to find out what it is. But... here's hoping! :) I gotta get my butt in gear and finish my mommy snug. That's the sweater I had issues with and frogged a ton a couple weeks back. I think it's sat int he naughty corner long enough.

Merry Dogmas!

Happy Holidays from Me and Mine to You and Yours.
(if we do this to our dogs, can you imagine what we'll do to our kid?)

Oh, and Happy Birthday to Cleo! She turns 4 today. We got her a stuffed duck. She killed it already.

In bed.

That's right. Right now, I'm at home, in bed.
Why? You ask? Because last night on my way home from work I was rear ended. And boy, do I feel like crap today.

Evey body's fine. Went to the ER and hear the heartbeat (140 bpm) so that's all well and good. But I think my car is not so fine, and my husband thins I should get a new minivan. (hells no!)

So. I'm in bed. Snuggled with my dogs.

Thank god for laptops and wireless internets.

Sometimes...

There is only two words. F*ck me.

Yeah. So I picked up some knitting that had been laying around. Feeling good, I was cursing along. I had split up a v-neck and I had half of one side done. I picked it up, and finished one side, and was almost done with the second side when I realized that I was 6 stitches off. One side was almost 2 inches larger then the other. F*ck. So. I frogged back to the beginning of the v-neck split, and I'm starting over again.

Yeah Snow!

Hubby and I cleaned out the garage yesterday. So the cars are safely tucked in away from all the mean nasty snow. Yesterday we just puttered around the house, and I stayed in my jammies for as long as humanly possible. Today we're going out to eat with his family. Which is a good thing, as Ive been craving mozzarella cheese sticks with ranch dressing for the past 2 days. Yum...

No knitting as of yet, but I did work on cleaning up the craft room a little. I really need a hat, now that it's winter, and I'm stuck on what to knit. I just bought a new jacket that's black and red. But 75% of the yarn I have in my stash is a shade of pink. So, do I clash? Does it matter if my hat doesn't match my jacket? Plus, the yarn I bought to make mittens is A)pink and brown or B)black purple and lime green. Huh. Maybe I'm just not meant to match.

Holy Cow!

Dude. I totally need this. Right? Yes. I thought so.

Well, there's nothing much here to report.
No knitting has happen since... um.. September.

Aside from that....

Yeah. It's boring here really. You don't want to hear about how I cleaned the ouse this weekend. Or ate my weight in turkey and stuffing.

So. Yeah. Maybe December will be a better month.

Well.

I guess since it's like all offical and stiff I can post it.

I'm pregnant. 12 weeks on Tuesday. Due May 29th.

Had the first doctor appointment today, we got to hear the heartbeat. Too freaking weird, and super cool, and scary, all at once. :)

Halloween?

Tommorrow? When did that happen.

Can't type with dogs sleeping on the laptop.....

I so need to:
A) take a nap
B) hire a maid
C) hire a maid so I can take a nap.

Nothing happening here. Very little knitting. I keep trying to knit, and then I need to sleep. Lots of sleep. Had been feeling better up until Sunday, then I felt like ass again and laid on the couch all day, watching bad horror movies. Today, I feel a bit better, but still ass like. Maybe a little better. Like just the butt crack, not the whole ass.

Why...?

Am I always a day late and a dollar short?

So I really want to knit this pattern(link to ravelry. Sorry) Anyway. So, I want to knit it, and it's no longer available. Poop! I don't like the Opal version (vertical stripes). Well. Story of my life I guess. :P

Felling pretty good today. Got a little knitting on my Monkey sock done. Still way way way behind. Must remember to notify my swap pal. And bribe her for forgiveness. :)

More Socks! Yeah!

I got my Monkeys in the mail on Sat. Thank you so much! All the goodies were wonderful! :)

Pictures when I find my camara.

Yeah socks!

Sorry I've been MIA lately. So sick. All I do is sleep and try not to throw up. Fun times. :)

Anyway, I got BOTH my sock packages in the mail, and I love my socks. Thank you Momma Monkey and Aitara. You two are too kind.

So, off to take a bath and the sleep.

Not much to report here. There has been no knitting as of late. I didn't quite finish Maya's sweater, which is fine. She'll get it on my birthday then. :) I've been feeling a little under the weather, so I get home and crash. I don't think I've knit anything in a week. Ack!

Plus, lots of family drama. Again. Argh! I'm just going to pack up my hubby and the dogs and move off into the woods somewhere. That'll solve things...right?

ack!

Ravelry = the devil.

Seriously. All the pretty photos makes me want to cast on new and exciting projects. But I can't!! I must finish my niece's sweater (Friday is her b-day) I've joined that monkey swap so I have to knit those, but I don't think that will sooth my casting on urge. I want to knit mittens. Lots and lots of mittens. Tons even. But I mustn't!! So sad.

My little dog was FREEZING on Friday, so I made him some new jammies. They alpine fleece and have sushi all over them. So cute! Must get a photo to post.

That is all. Off to knit. Or, do laundry. One of the two.

Dude!

If I ever say I need more sock yarn.... smack me upside the head. Seriously.

Oh, and Cpurl won the yarn. Email me will you? :)

yeah!

Thank you all for donating to the puppy walk. I promised a drawing today and well.... I liead. I shall do it tomorrow. Because I am lazy, and sore, and I need to go to bed now.

New month. New projects.

I cast on 2 new projects today. The first one is that sweater for my brother, that has taken me a freaking year to find a decent pattern for. Attempt #3 is going to be "Cobblestone" from the laterst interweave knits.

And the second is a hat for my niece. But when she makes a request for knitting, how can you say no? :)
