A Weekend in Hell

I'm posting this from work so this'll be fairly short. I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in a bit. First I was busy and now... well now we've been without electricity in our apartment since Friday morning and we won't be getting it back until Wednesday.

A long story (and phone argument) short... I mailed several cashiers checks for bills on the 19th and somehow only one of them made it to their destination (which is the same fucking city I live in!!!) over a week later. With a week having past since checks where written we're tight on cash. But the electric people couldn't have cared less, so even once the cashiers check I sent gets there I still have to pay a $100 reconnect fee hence the no juice to our toys that plug in until I get paid again on Wednesday.

Another long story short, between the heat, short tempers, sitting in the dark for hours, and a newly acquired UTI (urinary track infection) this weekend was anything but pleasant. As a matter of fact, I don't even want to talk about how miserable the weekend was. I didn't start this blog for it to turn into a pity party. Fuck pity, I hate pity. =P

I did have some good news on Friday though; I was really disappointed I couldn't blog about it. My SP sent me another package!! This time I got a skein of pretty aqua Bernat yarn, vanilla sugar potpourri (yummy!), a vanilla caramel candle (that smelled soooo good and really came in handy this weekend, heh), uber cute sticky notes in the shape of a 'N' (I've brought them into work to use!), some knitting note cards, an ergonomic 'G' crochet hook (which I had to try out immediately! And I love it!) And a perfectly adorable crocheted turtle bookmark!! Everything was wonderful! Thank you so much for your thoughtful gifts!

Now back to the grindstone with me. I'll catch up on my Bloglines Subs as soon as I can. Have a good one. =)

In Crochet News...

Saturday I received a RAOK containing the cutest notecards from Cheryl (a gorgeous lady with amazing talent!) at Diva Knitting!! Thank you so much!! Their almost too cute to even use, LOL.

That settles it! I've received some very cool RAOK gifts in the past month. And now it's time for me to get off my ass and give to others as well. I'll be sitting down this afternoon and making a list of some possible gifts and their recipients. =)

I have something else to add to my Completed Projects list, yippee! I made a bikini for myself this weekend. *insert lil' dance*

It's just your basic triangle bikini top with some nubby stitches and a thong bottom, again with the nubby stitches. I used some left over pink Simply Soft, well because it's soft and I don't intend to actually wear my new suit in water, it's more of a "sunning" suit minus the sun since the Irish in my like to insta-fry in UV rays, plus the top will be nice to just wear around the house with shorts or a skirt. I really wish I had a digital camera, argh, I'd really like to show this completed piece off!! I might try and take a shitty webcam pic of it later tonight.

I took sketchy notes as I was making it now hopefully I can decipher them and make up a pattern for this cute lil' suit. *shrug* I was feeling restless and couldn't seem to focus on any of the other projects I have going so I just picked something up and went with it.

I also spent a lot of time watching movies this past weekend and a small project like the bikini was fun to work on while I watched Sin City, Ocean's Twelve, and all 10 episodes of Band of Brothers. With last night's new AdultSwim cartoons mixed in too, heh.

I still have a moderate amount of the pink Simply Soft left over. I think I'm going to make my friend Cris a ruffle scarf. =)

Today I got more information about the Stitch'N Club at work and I've been invited to go to one of their meetings tomorrow. The group leader said she doesn't know what they will do with the dues yet since they just started the group back in June. So far the dues paid have bought storage containers for the "Community Chest" of donated craft supplies. So far it doesn't sound bad, dues might go up to $10 for the whole year, which isn't terrible. When they mentioned $5 only being for the remainder of the year I had fears they were going to charge as much as the Crochet Guild does, LMAO. At least there its better understood where those funds are going.

They did give a list of a good number of the fiber store in the Columbus Area though!! whoohoo I'll be typing those up ASAP and making a permanet post with them listed for others in my area.
Oh, speaking of LYS's that bulk supply place wasn't the treasure trove I was a hoping for but it wasn't a complete flop. They only carry Coats and Clark fibers so there was a lot of Red Heart's line, but not just the Super Savers, they have the baby soft, chunky, Symphony, a couple of the novelty yarns, etc. Lots of colors and all about the same as Wal-Mart's prices (but hey it's closer to home, heh). And they have a boat load of threads and cottons from Coats and Clark as well. So again not what I was hoping for but not horrible.

OK back to work I'm suppose to be working through my lunch so I can get outta here an hour early, hehe. Hey! It's not my fault there's _really_ nothing to do.... =P

A Public Service Annoucement

'Cuz it's Monday and I'm sure we all could use a laugh. And nothing makes you laugh harder than real life morons in the mists...

All items here are true and things I have experienced while working in the wonderfully stuffy world of insurance (it's been almost 3 years now).

SO here goes in no certain order.....

Things NOT to do in a Public Restroom

Moan, groan or grunt repeatedly.

Come directly out of the restroom, go to your cube, and tell your co-workers about said grunter/groaner you were just in the restroom with. (I know this doesn’t directly take place in the restroom but still… I don’t want to hear about it. This one mainly pertains mostly to men since women here seem to act like being human and needing to use the restroom for anything but checking your hair and/or makeup is NOT something a lady does. Whatever.)

Use your cell phone while in a stall doing your thing (c’mon! I don’t even like talking to my MOM on the phone while in the bathroom at HOME!! I wouldn't dream of scheduling a business meeting from a bathroom stall!). See also #3, #4, and #5 concerning cell phones in public restrooms.

Argue with your cell phone company about last month’s bill you haven’t paid yet.

Argue with your car loan company about last month’s bill you haven’t paid yet. (Obviously this is the same person as #3, I know much more about this woman’s finances than I really need thanks to her regular restroom phone 'conversations'.)

Discuss this evenings dinner plans with your significant other.

Gossip about the new employee without checking to see if they could very well be in there at the same time (they being me, hah).

Stand in the ‘waiting’ area and have a full discussion about your pregnancy with several others giving all the gory (and I do mean gory) details.

Use one of those paper seat-protectors and then leave it there on the toliet for someone else to deal with (if you’re worried about your ass-matter what makes you think someone else wants to deal with it?!)

Use FIVE of those paper seat-protectors and then leave them there on the toliet for someone else to deal with.

Worry about the paper seat-protector and yet not wash your hands.

Talk to yourself—out loud.

Pep-talk yourself through changing your tampon—out loud. (WTF?!)

Not Flush. How can you forget to flush in a public restroom?!?

Dump your lunch in a toilet and not flush. (UGH)

Eat ANYTHING in a public restroom!!!! (Jesu! Do you have a deathwish?!? *shudder* *gag*)

Try to fit more than one adult into a stall.

Stand half in the restroom with the main door open while chatting with someone down the hallway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm a bitch, easily irritated by some pretty damn silly things. So expect this list to grow. =D

Random Stuff

I didn't get a WIP Wednesday post out yesterday but it's pretty much the same list as last week, heh.

Yesterday a friend and I participated in Nationwide's Community Care Days where you volunteer to help with an area charity program. In our case we helped United Way with their Meals on Wheels deliveries. We had a lot of fun! Everyone was so nice and it was heartwarming to see how excited people got from a nice meal and a little bit of socializing. We're definately looking into making this a regular thing. Especially since the "route" they gave us was all in one apartment building for the eldery, it's only a few blocks from where we work. We just started at the top floor and worked out way down.

I got home at about 2pm after our deliveries were done and we had lunch. After I got home I went back out and did a few errands before traffic got hellish. On the way back home I took a shortcut and noticed that a bulk craft supply store about 2 blocks (maybe less) from my house is now selling yarn!! I noticed because they had a big ol' sign up about it, hehe. I know I've called and visited this place a few times in the past couple of years asking if they sold yarn and I was always told no. Well they were closed at the time so I'm going to be checking them out this evening to see if they have anything worthwhile. I hope so, having a LYS this close would be dreamy!!

I've signed up for a "Stitch'N" club through my works "activities center", I'm now waiting to get information about their dues and how often they meet. I already have to pay dues to get in with the activities center so I hope the fees for the club aren't too expensive. To be honest I don't fully understand why there are dues, heh, since we are to meet during our lunch hour in the cafeteria here at work, we're to bring our own projects and meals and there's no group activies outside of just hanging out once every two weeks so ummm what's the $$ going towards? =P

Eh well I'll just have to wait and see. I'm just excited by the prospect of getting together with some fellow stitchers! =) I haven't been in a group for this kinda thing since moving to Ohio in Winter 2000. I've really missed it!!

Ignore HaloScan Post

Good morning!

Subscribers please ignore the post about HaloScan being installed.

It was. And it stayed there for about 5 seconds until I realized it hid all of Bloggers comments unless I wanted to dick with the coding for an hour.

Fuck and that. Blogger's comments seem just fine to me. And I have no need for the Trackback feature to hunt down people that have left comments. Most of you have blogs thru Blogger anyways. =)

Carry on... nothing to see here, hehe.

Feeling a lil' Irish

I've felt uber lazy this weekend but I managed to get a couple small things done. =)

I don't know if it's because I'm half Irish but I've always been fasinated by anything Irish and Celtic. Once upon a time I had plans to attend art school in Ireland. Unfortunately I could never scrape together enough funds even with grants and loans. *sigh*

I still want to visit there one day, so does Hash. And I'm half certain once we get there we'll end up calling my mom or my in-laws telling them, "Hey! Yea we're gonna stay here. Do us a favor? Sell all our shit and Western Union us the cash. Okaythanksbye."

So this weekend I made a cute lil' bag with some kelly green and cream yarn out of clover shapes. I'm very happy with how this turned out! =D

Clover Bag

And I was just playing around but I came up with a lil' Celtic Knot. I've always enjoy drawing Celtic Knots so it was a lot of fun making one of yarn, heh.

Celtic Knot

If there were a contest...

...for the best Secret Pal ever... I'm sure mine would win! LOL

I got a wonderful, mavelous package from my Secret Pal today! First I was sent an e-card saying the package should be here today... so I had to sit all work half the day just thinking about it!! Argh! LOL

My super cool package included (ugh I realllllly need a digi-cam):
2 skiens of Caron Simply Soft Brites in LimeLight and Grape (See examples here)
2 black ink pen with cute lil' froggies on them!
4 turtle soaps (handmade by my SP)
3 froggie soaps (also handmade by my SP!)
A nice lil' note card (and yes all this green definately cheered me up!!)
AND
This awesome lil' bag:

My scanner really jacked up the colors, I try to adjust them as best I could. The purple looks a lil' too blue in the pic. I love it!! It's very strudy and I love the nice thick handles.

Thank you Secret Pal!!

I received a second RAOK postcard today too!

Here's the first postcard I received, this ones from someone in California:

Here's the second postcard I received, this ones from Moze in Florida:

Sick day

Ugh, had to take a sick day today so this is going to be short. I have a pinched nerve in my hip and it likes to give me hell at random times. It chose last night about 3 am and wouldn't let me get back to sleep until 7 am. I spent most of the day gulping pain pills and sleeping.

Yesterday I received 2 wonderful RAOK gifts! One was a beautiful postcard from California. I'll scan the pic as soon as I'm feeling better. I also got a sweet K sized double ended hook! This is perfect timing, I've been thinking to get a bigger afghan hook to try and make some sturdy bags (I only have a short size I).

I think I'm going to pair up the El Paso yarn and the dbl-ended hook and see what I can come up with. =) Thank you to all my awesome 'fairy godparents', heh.

Ok back to bed. Have a good one.

This is gonna be a great weekend

Today... life is good.

This morning I woke to one of my favorite dumb comedies on TV. It's so dumb I'm too embarassed to even tell you what it is. But it makes me giggle. The morning was good.

Early afternoon comes and I head out for a trip to the library and pick up smokes. I get in and outta both places in no time. I praticed self-restraint and only picked up 3 books at the library. Which was much busier then I expected...

I got:
Crocheted Lace by Pauline Turner (ooo so many pretty things)
Family Circle Easy Crochet (has a really pretty dress I'd like to try)
Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet (I've heard this one is awesome but haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of it, so now I have it, albeit temporarily, heh.)

And the icing on the cake??

I got a mavelous ROAK package today!!! I swear I squealed when I opened the mailbox and saw a package in there. I squealed again when I ran inside, leaped up the stair and tore into the package. All that tape never stood a chance!

Some wonderful, awesome person at Crochetville sent me 2 skiens of Lionbrand Woolease in Fisherman, and 1 skien of Lion Brand Jiffy inEl Paso. They're gorgeous!!. Also included were 2 J sized crochet hooks!!

This gift really has made my day, my week really! I had hoped to do a tiny bit of yarn shopping this weekend but the budget didn't work in my favor. I was kinda bummed I was gonna have to wait another 2 weeks to pick anything up. And now... wow all I can say is Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Nevermind the 3D stuff or World of Warcraft this girls gonna have a grin ear to ear while she corchets the next 2 days away in a happy bliss filled state.

May you all have a wonderful weekend as well! =)

Friday makes it all better

Can you tell I live for the weekends? How terrible is that? LOL I wish away 5 days of my life just so I can have 2 for myself. Ahh well. No big plans for the weekend. Rent's paid so I'm happy, heh.

I have another time consuming hobby, 3D modeling and texture design, that I'm going to need to pay some attention to this week... for a little bit anyways. =)

I sell my models and textures at several online stores for such things, and it's been more than a month since I've put out anything new. =/ I've been too caught up with my crochet... it's a total addiction that let's me think I don't need it... that I can stop anytime I want to... and then I end up coming back to it with a vengence, heh.

Today I got a sweet ecard from my Secret Pal saying I should keep my eyes on the mailman 'cuz he's gonna bring me something soon. Whoohooo! I can't wait to see what he brings!!!

Fuzzy lil' shrug o' death

So that boucle shrug I was so excited about yesterday... I'm not so excited about it today, heh.

When I got home last night and I went to change clothes I couldn't get the damn thing off!! The cute lil' sleeves were too short to grab ahold of to pull it off. *shakes head*

So there I am in the bathroom wrestling with this fuzzy lil' shrug o' death when Hash walks in... and promptly starts rolling on the floor with laughter. I was not amused. I told him to get his ass over here and help me take this stupid thing off!

*sigh* Well it's not the first clothing item I've made for myself that I won't wear as often as I first thought. I still like it, I still think it's terribly cute. But now it's only going to be worn with the dress I had in mind when I made it. Oh well. Needless to say the Mossy Shrug will either have much longer sleeves or it's going to get canceled before it gets much further. I haven't decided yet.

I've almost got my first Secret Pal package ready to send out, woot! This is exciting, I really hope they like the gifts as much as I've liked putting them together, heh.

I finished up a cute lil' halter-y-bathing-suit-like-top last night. It's going to be more of a 'working around the house I need something comfy and cool' kinda thing more then an actual 'wear it to the pool/beach' kinda thing. Hash was very happy with it, LOL. He said I should definately write up a pattern for it, so expect to see that around here in the next week or so when I get some time type it all up. =)

I've cleaned up my WIP bars in the right sidebar, taking off the things that will prolly stay WIPs for a while. I'll get around to updating it when the things I'm working on now sometime today, heh.

One more day... and the weekends here, yippee!!

WIP Wednesday #2

OK so I'm terrible with doing things regularly, heh. I've had this blog for over a month and have only done one WIP wednesday list. Phoo. Anyhow here's my WIP list as of 08/03/05. (OMG is it August already?!?)

++My Toe-Up Socks abandoned for now.

++Zero's Jiggly toy = 99% complete, I still have to weave in the ends. =/

++My tanktop isn't looking the way I wanted and I have some others ideas for a better version. I haven't frogged it yet, I figured I should be sure I wanna start this over again before I go all gungho and tear it to pieces, heh.

++My boucle shrug is complete! I worked in too many rows and was going to have to tear out some. It got put aside for a week because I didn't have the patience to deal with boucle frogging. But this morning I really wanted to wear it with this flowered dress I have so I tore out the extra rows for a while before I left for work, and then finished the frogging and seaming on the bus. I was able to go into work with a terribly cute, warm and fuzzy shrug this morning. Woot!

++Sleeveless turtleneck - This has been put on hold until I can find an extra skien of Chunky USA in Demin. Damn these unplanned projects! hehe

++Mossy shrug - I've started another shrug, this time in Caron's Simply Soft in Soft Pink. I'm not a pink kinda girl but I had a good bit of it left after another project and I love how this yarn feels. I'd say I'm 40% done with it?

++I've got a few things started for my Secret Pal but I don't want to give away anything, hehe...

Hmmmm and I think that's it for the important projects. As always I have a dozen random lil' things all over the house, heh.

Take care, have an awesome Wednesday! =D

OH! You might have noticed I made up some smaller "sticker" type buttons for various groups I'm in (see the right sidebar). Feel free to snag any of them if you like that style and you're apart of that group.

Peace and love and stuff.

*PS Sorry for all the edits. It seems though Blogger gives you a bulleted list option... it doesn't seem to actually want to DISPLAY bulleted lists. WTF?

While looking for square to make for the Blue Squares Too swap I came across a very pretty 12". I was able to easily alter it down to 6" and the original creator, Chris Simon, has been kind enough to let me post the alterations here. =D Make sure to check out the bigger version too!

Autumn Secret Pals

I got my Secret Pal email this morning to let me know who I get to be a Secret Pal to, woot!! <-- That's truly how excited I am, hehe. I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

Not much going on this morning. Monday = back to work = ugh.

I'll make a better post later, heh. Have a good one!
