maybe he is onto something
Maybe he's onto something... just maybe... hmmm... huh what? What am I talking about. Oh yeah, well last week B fell while playing at school. He was awarded with a nice size goose egg complete with abrasion. It is enough to make you wince. When he came home from school he was hungry, he wanted lunch meat, crackers and cheese, his exact order. He saw some thin mints while getting some crackers. Sure, he'll have two. I swear, I didn't know it would lead to this:
uh huh, its really a cracker, cheese, bologna and thin mint cookie. ew. ew. ew.
But hey, He's eating it and he swears its good!
maybe he is onto something, or maybe he just hit hit head to hard! maybe......
Knitting Olympics:
Finally finished the yoke last night, after three freaking attempts. More on that later. I've ripped out the bottom, ripped back three rows and started knitting with the green. Hopefully will be done tomorrow. *crossing fingers*

Sometimes they're cute, even when they're awake.
Sometimes they look so sweet, innocent, peaceful.
(sorry for the crappy pic)
and then. They wake up.
But sometimes, they are so sweet, playful, even endearing.
(The kids where waiting for me to read their bedtime stories. Hey! They are in order, from left to right we have C, B and A.)
I'll just try to remember this the next time B takes 45 minutes to eat a PB&J, C decides that finding her Barbie's PJ's with the bride on the front is life or death hostage situation, and A tries to ride the cat, or opens and devoirs a bannana in the middle of the grocery store, or has a royal meltdown because Mommy said that she can not have a lolly at 10am
Still, aren't they really damn cute? They melt my heart.

The weenie topped it off
It all started off with a simple innocent phone call, really it did. I drop B off at school, and call my friend Mandy. (who lives a whole 4 houses away.)
This is how it went:
Me: I need to go to the bank, wanna go with me and I'll get you a cup of coffee?
Mandy: Sure.
Me: Thanks, I really didn't want to go by myself. I'll pick you up in a few.
I stop by her house, see her newly finished clapotis (SOOO PRETTY!!) and off we go. We stop by Sheetz, get our necessary breakfastiey needs, (coffee, water and M&M's) and I ask her. Wanna go to the mall? I need to pick up my book. Sure she says, I don't care. We get to the mall, got to the book store, A plays a good game of gotcha with Mandy, and I get my book (Sensational Knitted socks) and I pick up a copy of the new bead and style mag. We get out the van, Mandy points to the car parked diagonal from us. LOOK AT THAT! She exclaims.

I think my camera phone has just paid for itself folks. Oh, my I'm at a loss of words!! But isn't the sky pretty??
I guess Punxy Phill saw his shadow,
So 6 more weeks of Winter. Phil's accuracy record is only 39% thank God!( Click here for some fun Groundhog day facts) I've never been to the Groundhog day activities, even though I live less than 20 minutes away. But I have seen the furry lil guy (girl actually) in his habitat at the Punxsutawney library. (Nope, not the zoo. He lives in the library, with two other groundhogs.) Lucky lil rodent.
Well.. I'm off to search for the camera cable again. Mom, its not it my boots (very funny) I would like to blame A (the baby) but I know its really my fault. And it has everything to do with my lack of organizational skills. I thought Virgo's were supposed to be organized!! (Liars!)
Mandy, thanks for a fun morning!! *L*

Gosh darn it.

Well, I took some pictures this evening of my finished pair of socks, think I can find the stupid God forsaken damn confounded blappietyblapping cable for the camera?? HELL NO! AND I know that I had it today!! I KNOW IT! Damnit. Damnit. DOUBLE FREAKING DAMNIT! I will find it someday, somewhere in this freaking house. (The house only has 4,000 sq feet.) damnit.

Because there are...
Because there are better things I should be doing with my time than ready blogs. Really, like doing the dishes, laundry finishing Christmas presents *gasp*, posting a "real" post (since I've deleted THREE photo albums and have 7mg of space used) I happened onto this over at JenLa, Built and Post your ugly Avatar. I call mine, Drunkin' Ms. New Year. I suppose she wandered off the green and into the cornfield. You can built your own Avatar Here.
*This is kinda a meme, *pointing* JenLa started it!! Anyone who happens to see this today, go bulid your ugly Avatar. Don't forget to let the girls at JenLa know about it. (I would love to know too) Have fun!
** Check out JessLu's I just have to say.. uh.. nice hat..

Va-ca!
Here is the dish. My laptop has decided it doesn't like me once more. It starts to boot up windows, it says that its starting windows. And the stupid thing it doesn't! (This by the way, is the limit to my computer knowledge) So, I must wait until Mike comes home, he is the computer genius!! Which is in the ball park of Tuesday, maybe (hopefully before) early Wednesday. I've taken picture's of what I've been working on. But get this, I can not upload them to this computer! GR! I know how very exciting it would be to read about all the slippers I've made to felt, and the extra yarn I had to dye because I ran out of orange. Instead, I'm going to wait and finish eating my dozen doughnuts (I've really eaten 15 since Friday! shh)
I mentioned a vac-ca didn't I? Well, Wednesday afternoon, after my ex-in laws pick up Corra and Bryce. Because my ex-husband is such a lazy SOB, and his mother will not cut the apron strings Allysa, Mike and I will be heading up North, (western mass) to my Mom's. So we may enjoy the bestest ever Thanksgiving at my sisters. And maybe get a lil shopping done at Webs *ahem* Anyone wanna have a meet up at Webs? Anyone? email me! Anyone? I will be back some time next Monday, assuming I have enough money for gas.... (its down to $1.98 here! WHOOHOO!)
Its past my bedtime, there is much that STILL needs to be done

Amanda needs
Amanda needs? I googled my name + needs. And this is what I got:
Amanda needs gnutar. No, I think I'll pass.
Amanda needs to be loved. aawww, now isn't that sweet? (I prefer presents, of the yarn variety *wink* *wink*)
Amanda needs a mom in her corner with lots of time and attention to give to her. well, I got just that!
Amanda needs to read Barbara Bush's speech to Wellesley graduates given in 1990. How about I gouge my eye's out with my size 0000 dpns? Sounds a bit more enjoyable to me.
Amanda needs are my special needs. She teaches me daily about life, and not to take one precious moment of it for granted. Are my special needs? *LMFAO* Seriosly here folks. Was this person just smokin' some wacky tabacy or what?
Amanda needs operator disk ownership. Don't forget the Dummie's book to go with it!
Amanda needs more than 1 tape. uh.. ok, if you say so.
Amanda needs fruit slots for her dinner party. Now, that's going to be one KICK ASS dinner party!
Amanda needs to fight in a pool of jello. Oh.MY!
Amanda needs both hands to carry this version of an RL Stine book from the living
room to the dining room. ARE you saying that I'M a CLUTZ?!? WELL! ARE you?
Knitting content coming soon......
