slacker...

yep...that would be me...i've been slackin...not intentionally...i just haven't had much to write...

ricky go let go from his former employer...the bastards...it's the first time he's been fired...i think he's a little upset/disappointed...he's been filling out applications...filing for unemployment...posting on his regular boards...and hogging the damn 'puter...sheesh...

what's a girl to do? i finished up abuelita's ballet slippers and i'm going to start a hat...for my dad...i'll have to go to the library to print out the pattern...so i probably won't start it until tomorrow or maybe even the weekend...

yarn whore...

yesterday i received two skeins in the mail...it's 100% wool yarn...worsted weight 220yards/100 grams...i purchased it from dreamy meow who could resist...it was on sale...and i loved the colors...i'm not sure of what i'm going to do with them just yet...but i'm sure i'll have no problem figuring it out...i finished a apple cozy for dani's teacher...i just have to buy a button and a big apple for it so that i can take a picture of it...now what to work on...hmmm...

lj...

this picture is for lj...my big sister in canada...she has a love for sheep... now that i think about it i think that's why she bought me that pillow case years ago...and i mean years ago...i'll have to take a pic of it one day...i've looked for another glass like this for her online but have had no luck yet...i happened to stumble on this find about 5 years ago in the salvation army for cheap i think a buck...it's my sweet tea glass...i have a few things in mind for her for x.mas...but cannot reveal on here...so i'll have to blog about them somewhere else...nahahahaha...

if you know me you'll know that i'm terrible about keeping surprises...i get so excited that i can't keep from talking...i think it's because i hate to be surprised...i'm thinkin' it's a control issue...i'm the worse especially at x.mas...i remember as a child telling my brothers everything they got for x.mas...they hated me for it...as you can see...nothing much has changed...
