NEW SCARY FONT!

Hi Guys

I'm at school, waiting for my next class to begin. I was thinking of doing some of next week's homework, but I worked so hard this week, I am not very motivated.

Can you believe that I forgot my knitting today? The one day that I would have really loved to sit outside and knit. Oh well. I'll just have to do more of a "planning" day today than an actually knitting day.

I have a new font, as you can see in my header and on my sidebar. Its call "Chiller". Ooooh Its scary for Halloween!

I ordered two books the other day, and I am patiently waiting for them to arrive. I ordered Knit Christmas Stockings by Gwen Steege and Christmas Stockings: 18 Holiday Treasures to Knit by Elaine Lipson. I am really looking forward to recieving both of these books. Along with Nicky Epstein'sbook i am really set to go on stocking. All I need is the yarn!

So, anyone planning on watching the debates tonight? Im taking the election very seriously this year. Last election, I missed being able to vote by a week! So, this is the first year that I am allowed to vote. It is timely too, seeing as I am going into a Human Services profession, our next nation's leader will have a huge impact on my job!

DH, Matt, has his first review at work today. Hes been a busy little bee, so I'm sure they will have only kind things to say.

My scissors are still missing :( Hopefully I will find them soon!

HAPPY KNITTING!

THE SASS - INATOR!

Here she is folks, enjoy!


please ignore my zits!



PICTURES!

I promised... and I promised... and then I promised some more!
It took me awhile, but here they are!


This is the back of sweater for my dad!


Here is a close up of the yarn/pattern

I also want to put up pictures of "the sassinator" but, i didn' like the picture that i have of it, so when DH gets home tonight Ill have him take another one of it.

Here are two more photos. One is me with Chloe knitting the sweater seen above, and the other is roxie, my develish little halloween baby!


Me in my hole-y shirt with Chloe. She looks so happy! This picture shows the color of the yarn more accurately


The fuzz ball you see stuck in the chair used to be attached to a long elastic. Roxie managed to gnaw it off and is now in love with the fuzz ball. She will play with it around the chair, and when someone walks by, she will knock it under the chair, look at you and yowl. This is her way of hooking you in and making you play!

Its a start

last year, hubby gave me a book - "learning web design"

I remembered I had this book and brought it will me to school today. i was able to fiddle with my blog a little.

I like it better but there is still stuff I want to learn how to do. Thanks so much to Lisa and Lauren for offering their help on the design stuff. I will definitly be email you guys questions I have about doing a header!! and, how to stick in my email address in my blog so people can email me!!!

Good news. I will be home today around 2! That means, before I tackle homework, I will post pictures!!! Unless of course our internet is down... but then i wont be able to do homework either.

Have a great day!

Update

1) I know I promised pictures, and I really feel bad for not putting any up. I HAVE in fact taken them, I've just been so busy with school, I haven't had a moment to post them. I promise, when I get the chance, it is the first thing Ill do.

2) It sure is raining hard, huh?

3) I want to thank my secret pal for sending me an Ecard. I recieved it this morning after a big presentation I gave. It was very nice getting the card, it really turned my day around!

4) I'm sorry I changed my template again. I really wanted to make my own banner and my own template color and such, but honestly I dont really know how. I want to make it orange like it was before (i just didnt like those arrow things down the side) and maybe cream for the side bar. I also want to make my own banner, like i said, but I dont even know where to begin - aka how to put it into the template correctly.

5) I lost my folding scissors and I'm really upset. I remember where I got them and every moment of that day. It was the second yarn shop I was ever in! I'm sad that my scissors are gone.

6) Roxie, my kitty, has found my hair twisties (yay my hair is finally long enough!). She now plays with them (especially under the area rug by the door). Every morning, there have been twisties in my shoes! Thanks for the presents cutie!

7) I have finished the back of my dad's sweater and i am working on the sleeve. This is what I should have pictures of! I also finished Chester's sister, The Sassinator. I will also have pictures of that.

8) I went and worked out today! I've been playing soccer every sunday, and now im working on getting back into my routine of going to curves. it was great to go back, and i feel great today!

9) Today is my Gram's birthday. She is 89 years old!! I can't believe it. I love her so much and I'm so happy I get to celebrate with her tonight. Between my classes today, I went to The Butcher Shoppe and picked out some carrot cake for her. She LOVES carrot cake. Tonight is the perfect night for her to splurge. I also went to Origins and bought her Spring Fever - a great scent. It is light and flowery and fresh. I love it, so I'm sure she'll love it. I just wish I had enough cash to buy myself some too!!!

10) This weekend, Matt and I are going on a romantic getaway!!! We are going to Massanutten , VA. I can't wait, I am SO excited. Its going to be nice to take a weekend together to do nothing! I will bring my dad's sweater and Maddies Bucket Hat. Hopefully I will be able to get them done and add some flair to the hat. I just got Nicky Epstein's Knitted Embellishments in the mail. I love it and highly recommend it! I'm going to use it to make XMas stockings too!


Have a great day guys! I dont know if I'll be able to post pictures tonight, but I am done with class at 1pm tomorrow, so hopefully when I get home!

A few weeks ago

A few weeks ago, i began surgery on my mom's poncho. Much too small, it needed to be reknit. No biggie, the yarn knits up very quickly.

So, I'm sitting on the couch, and I began pulling out the seams. It must have been pretty early, Matt comes walking into the room with this groggy look in his eyes and says, "what are you doing?"

I smile at him. As Lisa has explained, boys don't always understand the concept of undoing whats been done.

His eye widen...

"Are you going to rabbit it?!?!" He says, shocked.

"Rabbit" I say outloud and repeat in my head a few times, just making sure I've heard him right.

"yea, rabbit!! Hop Hop"

"Ummm.... OOOOOOH You mean rip it?"

"yah, rabbit!"

"no no dear, its rippit - like a frog. Frogging"

"oh."

eyes widen again

"are you going to frog it???"

"yah hunkie, its about 2 sizes too small for my mom"

"oh ok"

wanders back into bed.

Watch out for those rabbits, ladies.

9.24.2004

Quick quick!

Before Matt and I go see The Forgotten...

I came home today and I just sat and knit. It felt so good. I also realized that I haven't posted pictures in like a month. I'm so lame. I promise I'll post progress this weekend (mainly because I havent had much progress to show until now).

So... I just want to whine for a minute...

I have this routine. I like watching Buffy on FX and then Suprise by Design on Discovery Channel, then Jugding Amy, Angel and Charmed on TNT. Today, I get to TNT and Nascar is on. Ok, no big deal - I just like watching Tyne Daley (sp? is that her name?) knit and she doesnt knit every episode. So Nascar ended a little late - yay, still time for Judging Amy - but whats this??? Real Police Vidoes!??! NO NO NO NO NO... its friday at 4pm. Its still stay at home mom time. why is this junk on!?

:(

Oh well. I better go cast on the poncho again so I can knit during the movie.

Have a great night!!

Morning!

Just a quick note before I head to campus.

I checked my email this morning, and YAY! I've gotten my secret pal notification! I'm so excited! I'm going to think and plan all day today about what to get them. I think I want to do a theme - other than knitting, duh. It will go along the whole time until the big final package!

This is so much fun. I think I better budget myself though, I could totally see myself getting carried away!

I'll post more info, but its secret, so most of what I'll post will be what I got!

Have a great day!

9.23.2004

One more thing

I was just atElisa's spot, and she recommended checking out Stitchy McYarnpants

Please, follow her advice. It is well worth the time. And, as Lisa said... click on the Santa!

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

new traditions

First, lets talk about Thanksgiving.

Every year, since my birth, we have had Thanksgiving at home. This means a number of things.
1) My mom and I make the traditional trip to the food store (though which store has changed over the years) and buy more food than my family could ever possibly consume
2) My family miraculously manages to consume the food (though this comes later on)
3) The people who spend Thanksgiving with us every year changes. It ranges from 4 to 6. Last year we had one of the biggest Thanksgivings in our family's history: 9!!
4) My mom makes her mashed potatoes. MMmmmm they are so good. I know the secret, but I can't tell you.
5) We go to the bonfire, we go to the football game and then we eat. We aim for 1 but usually its at 3.
6) We then have pie and birthday cake! Pralines and cream ice cream cake from Baskin Robins. We've had it every year for 21 years.

My birthday falls around Thanksgiving every year. This has its ups and its downs. It usually means I get more than one BDay celebration because my family members remember its my birthday BECAUSE of thanksgiving.

My brother, by the way, thinks my birthday IS thanksgiving. I'm ok with this. However, he is almost in his mid 30s. Someone should clue him in.

This year, we are breaking the tradition. We are having Thanksgiving in Maryland at my cousins house. I like this, and I hope the tradition continues. We're making it a potluck, and I am taking on the responsiblity of assigning everyone dishes to bring.

I cant friggen wait!

I, of course, will be making the dessert.

This year, my inlaws will be joining the family fun. I am overjoyed! We will kick the attendance up by 4 people, bringing the all time total to 13! I can't believe it! Glad I'm not cookin the turkey *snickers* More Quorn Roast for me!

Now, Lets move into Christmas.

We NEVER spend the Holidays at home. NEVER EVER EVER. And, I am completely ok with this. I remember when I was little we used to, but for about the past... oh... at least 10 years we have not spent it in NJ.

This year, it looks like the masses are voting for Christmas in NJ. I'm still torn on the idea. It will be what we make of it. Maybe we'll be able to mix things up a bit, and can form different traditions, different than the ones we have.

I think I'd like to start this by making everyone christmas stockings.
My mom says she wants hers and mine to be HUGE. No problem, I can do huge.

So, we have Roger, Nathan, Amanda, Maddie, Mom, Dad, Gram, Grandmother, Mike, Me, Matt as "for sures" though - before you jump to any conclusions, Matt and I have not yet decided how we are goign to work xmas. NY or NJ? My folks or his? I do kinda one up him with family coming from all over the country.

Maybe New Years in New York? It sounds romantic! Maybe MIL and FIL will come to NJ. Regardless of what we decide, I am going to make them stockings too... Pat, Bil and Justin. That way, when matt and I have our own house, we can MAKE EVERYONE come to us and make sure they bring their stockings.

So, the point of this post.

New Traditions are springing up everywhere, and i am going with the change. Knitting wise, it means people will open presents, see some got handknit goodies and others did not. Thems the breaks. However, everyone will get a stocking.

Anyone recommend a good stocking book? I was to knit BIG fun and whimsicle stockings.

Man, I feel like its XMas already!

9.21.2004

A long time coming

This post has been a long time coming! It has been a long time since I've done a knitting update, or posted any pictures, so I am going to try to do a two for one (though they aren't going to be MY pictures, because I am at school without resources)

First, I want to start by saying there is a big ol' nasty fly on the monitor that wont go away. better on the monitor than on me!

So, I have many projects going on right now! Here is my holiday list so far:

~Rowan sweater for Dad - 10% complete
~Rowan sweater for Matt - 1% complete (I say 1% because I have all the supplies just ready to be worked!)
~Poncho for Mom - -100% done. It used to be done, but its back to the drawing board because of my miscalculation on the size. woops
~Bucket hat for Maddie - 40% complete but thinking about frogging it because i knit two stitches wrong. however, they are on the inside bottom seam of the hat. probably totally not worth it. I will keep truckin with this one.
~Lace scarf for Gram - 3% complete. However, i have never done lace before. I understand most of the direction to make it, but have yet to find an actually pattern - i was just wingin it. Anyone have a good lace pattern? I'm using Pure Alpaca from Elann.
~ Something for my cousin mike. This is 0% complete because I still dont know what I want to make. im thinking afghan or pillows for his couch. maybe a sweater (he only has 1 sweater, can you believe it?!?!). I think maybe something from the Jo Sharp Home book - book #4
~Chickami for my MIL

Thats it for presents. OMG THATS IT? crap I'm totally screwed. How can i possibly knit this much by that time?!?! Especially now that school is in full swing. I guess less time blogging! :(

Ok, well I think thats all i have for you guys. Oh wait, I promised a picture.


This is Simply Marilyn by Debbie Bliss (you can get the pattern for free at Interweave Press!!!) I love everything about it. The model, the fluffy skirt, the color, the off the shoulder. Mmmmm. I love it. However, when I make mine, it won't have a mistake in it like this one does. Can you see the mistake? Its very easy to see if you open the pdf file from the website.

Anyhow. Have a great day. I love you all and I thank you all for visiting with me so regularly. It is so much fun to have knitting friends. I love being a part of your knitting lives, and I love having you a part of mine!

9.19.2004

HAPPY KNITTING!

Ooooh, what a great day!

It started out with working internet - how? I do not know, but I do know enough not to ask questions.

Then, matt and I went to see some model houses and townhomes that the company he works for (NVHomes and Ryan Homes). Hopefully someday one of those will be our home!

Afterwards, we drove to Bethesda to hang out with my cousin for a little, and then grab the Metro and head to the Knit Out. It was wonderful! I was at the edge of my seat the whole ride to The Mall because I was afriad that everyone came and went (I was running a wee bit late - sorry ladies!). Matt and I headed to the Fashion Show tent and looked for Lauren but couldnt find her! So we checked the other tent out and then headed back to the Fashion Show tent. Then, we spotted eachother!!!

It was so much fun meeting everyone. I got to meet Amie, Christina, Lauren, Jenna, one of Lauren's library friends and her mom, and some other girls - who I think were from KR and were named Kim. But, I'm not sure :/ Sorry ladies, I didn't catch your names. If you are reading this, let me know!

We talked for a bit, Amie and I made a swap (you know, the kind that involves money and yarn - but there is NO SELLING ON THE MALL - so you didn't hear it from me) and then we all headed to the fashion show and talked a bit and knit while we watched.

It was a great time! I had to head out for a number of reasons. Reason #1 being that matt and i had burritos for lunch, and mister burrito and matts tummy weren't getting along. Reason #2 is that I had a soccer game and we were cutting it close.

So, we headed back, i ate some pasta and went to soccer...

AND MOM'S UNITED KICKED BUTT! We won our match 3-1! I played goal for half the game, and then the rest of the game I played center forward and at one point center defense. It was so much fun!!

I scored! WAHOO!

And, I took out a lady who was like 6' 200lbs - if you dont know me, i'm about 5'3" 135. Ok, I didn't really take her out. I kinda tripped and she saw it and tried to play it up so she could have a rest break - she was SO acting "ooooh my knee" and she was grabbing her ankle... ugh whatever

I had a great time. Now I'm pooped! I'm going to go watch Charmed and then climb in bed. If you would like to see pics from the Knit Out, check out Lauren's Blog (yea yea how could I have forgotten my camera, right??? i dont even know.)

Happy Knitting!!!!

Its working! I better type fast before it goes back down....

THE INTERNET IS UP! I REPEAT, THE INTERNET IS UP!

A quick post - for fear it may go back down!

I WILL be at the knit out today! I have decided to wear my bright pink shoes, pink pants and a shirt that is yet to be determined. I will also be wearing my Booga bag and Jordana Paige bag.

Hair still in pig tails, but since the weather is cooperating, I will leave the green glow umbrella at home. Still will bring the bright white water proof jacket just in case...

Can't wait to see you all there! And just realized that I posted on two blogs under my hubbys blog name, so will repost so you all know it is me!

WAHOO, KNIT OUT 2004!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EDIT: I will NOT be wearing my pink shoes - I can't find them :(

9.17.2004

The Internet Hates Me

Our Internet at home is all messed up. I'm having Matt deal with it, so I'm not quite sure how to explain what has been wrong. I think the last explination that we got was "its down everywhere, we'll credit you the money until it is up again". So, who knows how long it will be.

So, just a quick note from campus until I start the drive back home. I am sorry I havent been posting, but I keep forgetting to do it from campus and then i get home and the internet is down. I am really excited about the Knit Out. I think I'm going to wear my hair in pigtails (I'm growing my hair out, it used to be about an inch long - so its excited that i can pull it up). Since its supposed to be raining all weekend, I'll probably have on my bright white waterproof jacket and my sexy green umbrella that puts a green glow on my face when i use it. So look for the freak with the green face and pigtails.

I was thinking about bringing knitting stuff, but now i'm not so sure since its supposed to rain. I could just bring my jordana paige bag, but now I'm thinking i may approach this more casually to just meet blogger and KR friends and find some free yarn/patters to knit up for donation. I'm also thinking about learning to crochet.

So, I hope you all had a great week. I'm kinda nervous that I will not be able to coordinate with you all because my internet is going to be acting up. I think what I will do is email Lauren and Amie my cell # so that we can meet up during the event.

As i said on the KR forums, i plan on going on the early side because I have a soccer game at 7pm sunday night that i can't be late for!!

Have a great one, and i cant wait to see you guys! Amie and Lauren, check your emails!!

9.14.2004

*Insert Hysterical Laughter HERE*

You know, the kind that has people give you strange looks. The kind that causes your eyes to tear and your stomach to hurt. The kind that has some people ignore you, others take a step back in suprise and some mutter "god" under their breathes.

That is what I just did. I laughed that hard.

I think it was a combination of things. First, I don't really know anyone at this campus, and the two people I do know aren't here with me right now. Where!? The computer lab. What is the state of the computer lab? PACKED. So, I'm alone in a crowded room... whatever, right? Wrong...

I was thinking to myself "ok, I have a plan. I'll do my homework tonight so I will have tomorrow afternoon open!" So, I sat down and started reading my favorite blogs. I jumped over to Megan's to find a link to another blog. Hmmm... I like living on the edge... I clicked the link and came to

Drum roll, please

Yarn Harlot'sblog. You really should check it out. It is really very funny.

So, thanks to Princess Papaya for the link!

Anyone doing KRSecretPalII? I am! I'm excited! Maybe I'll get you!!!!

9.13.2004

This post is dedicated to the Fall...

Im so sore. I had SO much fun playing soccer... But man am I sore. I played 2 games!After our game was over, they needed a few extra people in the next match so I volunteered. I played keeper in both matches, and had a blast. I forgot how much fun I used to have in goal! It also was nice because I think people were shocked that such a little person can have such a big kick!

So, today I am on campus until 8pm. My next class starts at 6pm, and I've done so much work today, I'm going to give myself a little bit of a break now. I have all my work done for tomorrow and Wed., so tomorrow I will do all my work for Thursday. That will leave me with easy days on Wed, Thursday and the weekend.

I decided to change my template - don't get freaked out. I just needed a change. And this is why.

I love the seasons. I love that every so many months, the weather begins a transition into something new. Every new season, I declare that season my favorite. Therefore, right now FALL is my new favorite season (though, in all honesty I really do love fall - November is my birthday month and I have so many fond memories of this time of the year - not just because I get presents, but because so many special things happen!)

Therefore, I have changed my blog to represent the Fall! Here are some reasons why I chose this one.

Why I have a Brown Blog:
*Its the color of pumpkin pie
*Its the color of the bark that falls off of the trees - I used to run around my neighborhood when I was little and jump on the bark to hear the crunch
*It makes me think of cinnamon - mmm
*It makes me think of mulling spices!
*It is the color that the leaves turn after they have fallen to the ground. These leaves help insulate the grass and protect it from the snow!
*My favorite sweater is brown
*My hair is brown
*My eyes are brown!
*I have lots of brown freckles (even one on my lip and in my eyes!)
*Logs are brown and I will get to burn brown logs in our new fireplace this fall!
*Turkey is brown, but even better - Vegetarian Quorn Roast is brown (this is the best substitute for a thanksgiving turkey. i HIGHLY recommend it to meaties and veggies alike!)
*I'm wearing brown shoes
*Apple Cider is brown
*Hot Apple Cider is brown
*Hot Chocolate is brown!
*Brown is a warm, cozy, comfy color
*Brown can be rich, brown can be soft, brown can be timid and brown can be aggressive
*My first knit project was knit in 2 different browns

And, the number one reason why I have a brown blog...
*CHOCOLATE IS BROWN!!!!!!

Our Happy Weekend

I'll start by introducting you to Matt's new scarf. I've named it "Chester" by Matt's request.

Its going to be so warm!

He just woke up, but still makes a great model!

Close up

For my other knitting news, I am making the same scarf for myself right now, but in pinks. Its very sexy. It will be perfect with a black coat on a cold snowy day!

Yesterday, our adventures took us into Washington, DC. We drove to the metro and took it into the city, and it was a long trip... about 20 minutes longer than it should have been because they kept sitting at each stop for 5 or so minutes. Anyway, we got there and were hungry, so we found a restaurant. It was really really good mexican, the name was Andale I believe. Afterwards, we headed back to The Mall to walk around and enjoy ourselves. We checked out the

New museum for the American Indian
It really is an amazing building. The museum opens on the 21st. If you are going to the knit out, you should check out the building!

We then headed over to the Botanical Gardens (thank you DH for coming with me! You really are a good man!). Fun was had by all. There were

Amazing colors,

Amazing flowers,

and amazing mysteries!
There was also

Handsome Husband!

Afterwards, we swung by Captial Hill. I can't even begin to remember the last time Ive been here.

Its a beautiful building.
Today we are planning on heading to some 75ft waterfalls in the area, and then tonight is my first soccer game! I am really excited and I can't wait to meet the rest of the team! I'll probably finish my scarf tonight, so pictures of that and of the falls to follow.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

9.10.2004

Day Off

Today my classes were cancelled, so I had a nice day off. I woke up and knit as I drank some TV and watched the news. It was very pleasant, I think the news in the morning is the best - I think its the Today show that I watched, I'm not sure.

I finished Matt's scarft and I'm half way through mine. They are heavy and thick and... well... solid. I dont know how else to explain it. They are great though, I'll post pictures this weekend.

I also ordered some yarn from WoolWinders today. Their sale started yesterday, but a full day of classes kept me from buying anything. So, today after some searching on the web, I called up and bought some yarn! A lot of it was already sold, but I ended up with 6 balls of Debbie Bliss DK cotton in tan, 6 balls of Debbie Bliss DK cotton in purple (for two Chickamis), and 2 ball of Dale of Norway Salve in hot Pink (bucket hat for my niece). I can't wait to get it in the mail! I could have just gone down to the story but i was feeling tired and I always like getting things in the mail.

Alright, off to watch TV w/ DH. I'll post pictures this weekend!

9.09.2004

Today

Today my plan is simple. I am going to get better.

I am off to Curves to work out (I need to start going regularly again), then home to make my lunch, pack my bag and head to campus. I'll be there until 4:50 or so - home by 6. I'm actually very happy with Matt's scarf, and I'm actually kinda sad that I'm more than halfway done now. Luckily, I am making a similar one for myself so that is something to look forward to!

Anyway, just a quick note. Its going to be a long day, but I can do it! Oh, honey if you are reading this... don't forget to pick up stamps on your way home!

Have a good one!

9.08.2004

Storms a brewin'!

Well, matt and I have been sick... very very sick. Well, hes been very sick I've been kinda sick. I hope I don't get worse because I really don't want to get what he had... though I would probably come out 5 or so pounds lighter...

No no no... tahts bad.

So, I've been kinda bumin' around. I did get some school work done *sigh of relief* but not much knitting. Matt and I used to be pretty serious gamers. We played Everquest, and if you know anything about it or know anyone who played it, then you know that it is very addictive. Well, about six months ago we gave up that life. We swore we'd never get into gaming like that again, and we were confident that there were no games out there that could take our attention like EQ... that was until we got into the World of Warcraft closed stress test beta.

So, thats what I've been doing since last Thursday... playing World of Warcraft. We put in some serious time, but we only plan on playing it casually when it is released (I've heard November - December for release now). If you want to see screenshots and stuff from it, click on Matthew's blog on the right to see shots in his blog.

So knitting wise I'm now getting my act back together. I'm going to finish Matt's scarf by Friday, I'm knitting it using Mission Falls 1824 Wool and Berroco Softy held together. Its very pretty, will be very soft and very warm. Everything a scarft should be! He'll love it and I'll post pictures once I get my butt off the couch!

I can't wait until the knit out. Only one more week! Oooh, and that reminds me... Woolwinders if having a sale, get your butts over there! The holidays are coming, and there is no better way to start those projects than with a sale!!

So, we've been getting all sorts of storm warnings today... flash floods, hail, sever t-storms, and... get this... TORNADOS! Unbelievable. I've been in a tornado before. Years ago, in NJ where I grew up we had one. It was very intense. We saw the storms swirling and the sky became a very eerie green. Afterwards, there were downed trees everywhere. There was speculation that it touched down on our street and sweapt through the town for almost 2 miles. We lost power, of course, and I had to do my homework by candlelight. It was cool, but I dont want to relive it.

Have a good night, watch out for the twisters!

9.05.2004

I'm still here

Hi guys,
I'm still here, I promise. This week was so hectic. Driving to school an hour and ten minutes and then back an hour and ten minutes is hard, and with classes to boot! Well, I'm tired.

I've been knitting, and it feels nice. I need a lot of mindless projects right now, and that is what I'm doing. Im going to frog the poncho and start over because it is definitely too small for my mom. I'm knitting scarves, of course, but I've put the sweaters on hold until I can get a better grasp on the school thing. I get sick very easily, and if I'm stressed it is even worse. So... I'm taking it slow.

I hope you have all been well. Any plans for the weekend? hope you all enjoy your labor day! as for me, I'm heading to virginia to have pool and bbq! wahoo!

enjoy yourselves! Happy knitting! I'll be back soon, I promise

9.01.2004

One more try

So I wrote this whole update earlier but then there was some error and it got erased *moans*

It went like this:

omg omg omg I'm so excited matt met someone at work who has a spot open on their indoor soccer team and I want to play and the lady said I could play and I haven't played in like 6 years so I'm kinda nervous but apparently they are a bunch of soccer moms or something so maybe they aren't that good omg omg omg im so excited its going to be so much fun.

So yah. I'm really excited. I played pretty seriously in a serious soccer town for a long time (uh... like my whole childhood into high school). I ended up quitting because the team that I was going to be on was a lot of partiers and I'm not that kinda girl. But this team is a team of adults, so I don't think ill be put into any uncomfortable situations.

I cant wait. I got some nifty indoor soccer shoes today and a ball so I can practice before the season starts in 2 Saturdays. Games are on Sunday nights between 4 and 10 pm depending on when they are scheduled. There are 2 24 minute halves.

This better not interfere with my knitting.

Have a good one!
