Baby Knits

Today I found out that the majority of my girl friends are having children. Holy crap! How many booties should I make now? 8? 14? I feel dizzy. And need soft yarn. I feel dizzy and need soft yarn. So many babies. This is why I request all of my ladies to post as many pictures as you can on facebook so I can see them! Love to see them! Babies everywhere.

The sock is finished and so is a scarf. Half way threw another and need to start a hat. THEN I will be done with my christmas knitting. Just booties for babies, or socks, need soft yarn- have I mentioned that? Sorry no pictures!

Not knitting nearly as much as I want, school and all. Plus nothing happens to me much. I visit my nieces and nephew often, but never seem to get pictures- it could be due to the fact my digital camera is broken. My cell camera still works, but it's not as good as my digital. First my digital camera brakes, then my printer. technology hates me. I knit there when I'm not doing homework or talking with the family. It's really nice to spend time with them.

Now to figure out tonights homework and this thanksgiving schedule.

Schooooooooool

Yup. We all knew school would consume my life. So another apology, however between studying I've been knitting and venting with playing Sims (both Sims3 and Sims Medieval). Oh yes, I've been updating my amazon wish list in case anyone is interested. ;)

A week ago, well almost a week ago, on Sunday, I couldn't really breath so Neil took me to the ER. They told me it was "Pleurisy" "-an inflammation and swelling of he lining of the lungs. Because of this inflammation, it hurts to breathe." The doc only gave me a LOT of pain killers that I don't like but it's better to breath and feel funny foggy in the head. I am glade it's not painkillers that would make me happy- I'm terrified of getting addicted to them and being an addict.

School, knitting, sims, tea, twitter, gaia, and hulu. That is what I do. :) Nothing amazingly special, but it's school, things aren't going to be terribly interesting in the beginning.

FOUND!!!

Found it, found it, found it!!! Since then I've been doing my best to work on it at every possible chance, between homework assignments (on my breaks). I am determined to get this sock done well before this month is done so I can work on other christmas/winter holiday projects.

School is stressful, but not as bad now that I'm beginning to get used to it. I'm hoping that as it goes the stress will decline more. So far it's proven right. Though I am a bit disappointed. I got my calender mixed up a bit; I thought that October 11th was no classes, but it turns out November 11th is the day. Kinda a disappointment since I have to pick dad up at the airport tomorrow.

So that's me in a nutshell right now!

Missing

MY SOCK IS MISSING!!! I have been searching EVERYWHERE for it! I have started school and now can't look for it. There are only so many places a sock in progresses can hide. Seriously, where in the world is it? Could I have left it at the convention center?! Oh shit. I just thought of that... I think that's the last place I had it. T_T This is terrible. The yarn shop where I got the yarn for the socks is no longer in business (sad panda) so I only have one sock of one color. I need to find that other sock that's half done.

School has started. >_< It's been... fun. Yah, lets go with fun. We all know it was going to be stressful going in, so it's not a surprise to know there's stress. I have to say that it's really fun too. The bags are heavy and killing my back and my hips are bugging me a bit, but the walking around is good exercise (sp?)! Quarters, I need more quarters for parking. Or a parking pass. If money wasn't tight I would get one and save my back from harsh wakings with heavy bags. Seriously, terrible terrible pains. My body is protesting violently, at times I feel like throwing up along the way to my car the pain is so bad. I make stops along the way to rest but that only seems to make it worse. Either way I need to get something figured out.

There be no progress pictures up of my sock because it's MISSING and there is no picture of anything new because school has started and my time is very limited. Well, that and I have no idea what I should do next, I'm open to new ideas. Send them my way! A new scarf, baby booties (oh yeah, I need to make a pair of those), a canoe, anything you can think of that is within reason, wrist warmers, a mini cloud... keep those creative ideas open!

Windshield Rain

Here we are, driving to the con (short for "convention") meeting, and it is starting to rain... on our side of the mountain!!! Our first comments were: the car will finally get washed. Neil seems to be handling the driving rather well.

And here I am in the passenger with my kindle and knitting! Still working on the sock. Taking forever but I'd rather take my time and get it right. Hopefully it will be done before christmas.

Mirror Aunt

I looked in the mirror last night and smiled. The image of my late Aunt Maria came into my mind, I'm looking more and more like her. Am I missing her so much I'm trying to make myself look like how I remember her? The last time I visited her she was overweight (like I am now) and had short hair (like I do).

Or is it that I want my nieces and nephew to have to have her in their life so much (and I can't be like her personality wise, I've already tried), that I'm trying to give them the image of her?

Aunt Maria was the perfect aunt in my eyes and I want to be like her and I want the kids to have that perfect aunt. I know I'm not her, but could I be becoming so overweight because I'm subconsciously wanting to look like my aunty I'm missing so?

No one should be like the dead. They were who they were, and we should let them have their legacy, and try to have our own.

No one wants to forget the dead, or be forgotten when they die. So who am I?

Lak of Posts

Sure enough, things happen, and I think of the post, writing it in my head, but getting it down onto the computer seems to be a taxing job. I love to blog, but this past month or so seems to be difficult to put my words down.

I have failed you, I am sorry. I do promise to change that. I will do my best to change this. School will start, con stuff will become more pressing, but my crafts will be my release, my blog will be my release, Neil will be my rock, Sam will be my, well, he's my baby, so I'm not really sure what to classify him under.

Should I give anime reviews of animes I watch, the ones Vito insist I watch? Might be interesting, Eh, maybe I might put a few in, just for fun.

Migrains, Menopause and Apps

There is a momentary silence, but it wont last. Ever so small a moment where there is no sharp pain or pounding. What would be the price to pay to be rid of migraines? They seem to be getting more and more frequent as I age. Granted I am only 24- 25 next month. Some say menopause hits and they go away, some say they only get worse. Must I wait till then, ascending in pain levels to see, just on hear-say that they might go away?

With smart phones, you get a whole new world of apps, and I have one that helps track migraines. It's rather neat. I mark the date, time, intensity, triggers, meds (if I take any), location and extra notes. I'm not sure why location is relevant, but it's there. It's like a diary for me. No matter where I go I have this app that almost says "Hey, I understand, now tell me about all of it." Not that it really talks in a voice, that would just be creepy.

Crisis!!!

Now here's my crisis: what should I do with Megan on her day? See, I spent a day with Lauren. We went to a movie (Smurfs, it was fun), shopping, lunch, hung out, but would an 8 year old like that too? Blah. What would she like? Mom suggested the petting zoo, which would be a good idea, then a movie, then some ice cream, but that seems like a lot of money for a day... that could be her birthday gift right? I NEED ideas!!!

Giving blood is a bitch. Today Neil and I went to give blood. Just me, Neil didn't give blood, he was my driver. My iron count was good, yah! But my veins rolled half way threw the bag (can they really do that?) and they couldn't find them again, so the bag was half full and unable to be used. Fuck that.

Knitting has been going well though... got one sock done, Neil tried it on (he's my foot model) and he says I made it a about 1/2 inch too short. T_T So sad. The other one has to match so I have to wait till the next pair to make them 1/2 longer. Ugh. Lately I've been dreaming (yes, dreaming) of different colored fingering yarn for socks. I want to learn how to make them from the toe up, but I'm having hard time understand my fabulous Wendy Johnson book. I love her, but I'm getting confused. >_<
