a lot has happened

August 18, 2009:

Get ready for this- there has actually been a lot happening lately! Well... a lot for the "usual" around here.

Neil and I witnessed a traffic collision... that's what it's suppose to be called now, now a car accident or car crash. No one was badly injured, but we stopped and directed traffic and helped out with the going ons.

I am now wearing a back brace, which is helping quite a bit.

Mom and dad came home. Step dad, not biological dad. It's been rather busy since they got home. Eating better sadly. (means more food and expectations to eat more food...)

New shoes today! I desperately needed shoes so we made a special trip to the city closest by while Neil was at work.

Today:

Well... lets see. My attorney cancelled our meeting again... this is the second time in the past two days! When will he stop putting me off?

OH! A new back-brace! My physical therapist told me to go to this one guy in the city near here to get a free back-brace if he could and guess what- HE DID! It's actually better I think then the last one. And the last one cannot be sold since I wore it for over a week, which is sad. Either way the back-brace is working, at least I feel like it is.

Dad and I went for a little "hike" yesterday and hurt! In the good way. :) It was sooo nice to get out of the house and just be in nature. Granted I don't care for the area, but that's just to live in, visiting is okay (for short period of time).

Migraines are back now that my hair has grown considerably. I hate it when that happens. So if you guys have any ideas on hair styles for short hair that natural flips out, let me know.

three hats

Three hats! I have knitted three hats!! Bwah-ha-ha! My attempts on socks is rather short lived, they are so hard for me to get a hold of! Sad isn't it?

I really want to look more into knitting items and selling them on esty. But we'll see. I may not be able to do it on my own, even though I've studied to do my own business (my cafe dream).

Maybe when mom and dad get home I"ll be able to take pictures of my lovely hats!

Magazine Cozies!

No- I'm not knitting magazine cozies, but it got your attention right? I hope so... I'm trying to knit a hat, but it's driving me a bit nuts. It's not as bad as it sounds but there really isn't any other way to describe it.

Anyways, I'm thinking that purses wont be the money maker, but I'll try to sell the ones I have right now (and finish the last two) when I have a few other knitted items under my belt to sell on the esty website.

Sammy is doing just fine, he's letting Neil's and mine friend Vito pet him a little the other day. Which we all said was about time. He's so cute. I am sitting on the couch with my back to the arm and back of the couch; he is laying behind me purring, head butting me, and it's just so cute I can hardly stand it! I'll rub his head, even though I have to twist my arms into funky pretzel styles to do it, but it's worth it.

Television time! I've been watching a lot of drama/live action/"normal" TV on Crunchy Roll lately... great site. Anyways there is a series called "Modern Housewives" that is just AWESOME!!! Honestly, a lot of what America shows on our TV isn't even in the same category as many of what the Asia countries provide.

So please check out crunchyroll.com!!!

Happy 1st!!!

Well guys- it turn out no surgery for me. Which is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because that would be uber difficult on my body (not to mention pocket book) but it's also bad because now it's going to be emotionally difficult to figure out how I can work.

At my last physical therapy, my PT and I kind of figured out that there are two separate pains: one in my back and one in my hip/groyne. So this is fun.

I need to find a job I can do at home and still make some money... preferably billions, but like that will happen, so if anyone who reads this (sadly I don't think anyone does) have suggestions, let me know please...

Craft projects! I have finished part of the green purse and while I want to finish it, I got so excited when my best friend H came to visit. She suggested round purses... so I crochet the bottom of the grey yarn and now I am knitting in a circle with a circular needle... it's exciting!!!

I watched Drugstore Girl on Crunchy Roll last night- it was pretty good. Not my top 100 movies, but maybe my 101 movie.

to-es-day

Updates on Tuesday.

Link updates!

Some link updates, took out the old ones that didn't like being used anymore and put up some new ones. Also there are a few more blogs that I enjoy reading.

I really need to find that digital camera- I'm working on a purse (as said before) that is completely crochet... except for the beginning part... anyways. I'm going to make fabric pockets for the front and a zipper for the main bag. I want to make this for my friend N- hopefully she'll like it.

Also a bit of information from the Wiccan Countess: ((that doesn't mean I am a Witch, but looking at different choices of 'religion')

"Calling oneself ‘Witch’ does not make a Witch – but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Witch seek to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and without harm to others and in harmony with nature."

"We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as 'Satan’ or ‘the Devil’ as defined by Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another."

Movies and Knitting

Wall-E is one awesome movie!!! I have seen it a wonderful three times! Honestly, it is one of Pixars best movies; granted they have yet to make a bad one… Can you believe it’s been TEN YEARS since Toy Story? I feel so old… I love that movie though, it is something my children will watch. Pixar is making one hell of a name for themselves. It makes me happy when they do go things. Their movies are often made for both young and adults. I suggest you check it out and go.

It’s been rather interesting with my knitting lately- I’ve been trying to find my digital camera so I can take pictures. I’ve been knitting purses… they really art special but it’s fun. It gives me something to do. So we’ll see if I sell them or not. But now I’m trying to crochet- however it’s spelled. I had to start off knitting, then I finished it off after about three rows; then I started with the hook and am trying to make it look okay… I honestly think it’s ugly but I want to finish it.

Most of my purses have been knitted while I was watching movies at the theater (such as Wall-E) and watching anime that Neil's awesome friend has been lending me. So I've been keeping my time rather busy.

Oh Isabelle!!!

Find Sammy!!

Hello readers!

Today I got to hang out with my friend N. She is awesome! She really doesn't think she's as brave as she is, but I hope she finds out how strong she is. We watched "The Other Bolin Girl" from the video store.

Did you know that the video store near here is doing acesta thing? It's where the are closed from noon to like 4pm. it's rather odd... BUT it's ot up to me. Anyways, we went up to it not seeing the hand made sign that said they were closed from that time... LUCKLY Charlie was there and let us in anyways... he's a good guy. We got the DVD and left to go back to her place- we had fun watching it. I have always loved Henry the 8th type related things... don't know why... maybe it's because when I was little I saw this TMC movie about Ann of Bolin. Since then I've always been interested in that era.

Sammy is hiding right now because my step sister is in town... God only knows how long she'll stay this time. I hope this chance dad's giving her actually dose some good. Either way, Sammy doesn't want to talk to her- and I'm being peaty when I say this- I hope he doesn't like her.
