Where I've been

Hmmm, So I should probably explain my absence from the blog. There are lots of reasons really. A major one is that I've been reading a lot. I started out over at Mugglenet.com. I found some stories by Vindictus Viridian. Lots of great Snape fanfiction in his/her works. I'm not real sure on VV's gender. lol


Then I wandered over to fanfiction.net when someone mentioned the Jennifer Craw stories. Can we say total addiction? She has written like 20 stories centered around Snape and his wife Jennifer. The last book just killed me and I'm eagerly waiting for the next one. She is being a booger and making us wait. *sigh*


Lately I've been flittering around from one author to another trying to just find some good writing. Some of the stories I've found have just hurt my brain. I just discovered Change of the Guard by Lomonaaeren, and I've read the whole darn thing in like 3 or 4 days. Now I wait for the next chapter. lol But the wonderful soul has written 46 stories. :) I'm in heaven cause her style of writing is just WOW.

So mostly it is the reading that is keeping me from here. It's hard to really discuss the stories I read cause well I know at least one person who thinks I'm nuts for reading some of them. I don't mind slash in my fanfiction at all. I can suspend belief and go with the flow of a wizard being able to get preggers. Hell if I'm reading about magic, I can suspend belief all the way. heh

And yes I've been over on Rav lurking in the pants. I'm not posting there as much as I was before either. I've had a few bouts of sickness in the last couple months. Nothing real horrible but enough to make me not want to do anything other than read. I haven't made it to knit night in a couple months because of either the kid being sick or my being sick. So nothing much interesting going on. Unless you want to listen to me list the reasons I think it is insane for me to even consider buying a house. shivers My folks are trying to talk me into buying a house across town from them. Ummmmmm that just makes me want to run and hide. heh

Anyways, I'll try to post once in awhile and let y'all know I'm still alive. :)

tired

My body is tired. My brain is tired.

I haven't been sleeping very well lately. I've had lots going through this ole brain of mine. I feel like I'm at some sort of crossroads. I keep wondering what the hell I've been doing and where the hell am I going.

I'm feeling pulled in a couple directions. There are things that I really want to do but am unable to do for one reason or another. Sometimes I can almost see where it is I want to be going and then a roadblock pops up. My life has always seemed like one big roadblock after another.

I think a lot of my current mood started the day I had my lil conniption fit. I just feel this hole in my life. I can't quite fill that hole. I'm not really sure how to do it.

I'm seriously lacking in self discipline and motivation right now. I need to get my butt in gear and get a few things in my life straightened out. Part of me is afraid of having everything in order though. Hmmm could that be why my house is usually such a mess? lol

I'm a work in progress I guess.

Speaking of which, I have done about 10 rows on the latest mystery shawl from Renee at GodessKnits. She has released the final pattern and it is called Etain. And omg is the finished pattern so beautiful. And HUGE!!! I swear I will finish it. someday hehehehe I've also done about 6 or so rows on the mystery stole. It too will be finished eventually. I think I need to cut back on some groups I'm in. I have to realize that I just don't crochet much at all any more and there isn't much of a reason to belong to so many groups where I don't know anyone any more and I don't really follow too many of the conversations.

Ok, time for me to get ready for bed. I'm just pooped.

In Demand

Grrrrrrrr Blogger won't allow me to embed a YouTube video.

I really like this video though on a number of levels.

Texas: In Demand (with Alan Rickman)

For one, Alan Rickman is HOT!! He looks super sexy dancing. I swear I'm now going to have to just go down the list of movies he has done and rent them all. I've seen a few of them but not nearly all of them. I have this thing for British actors. mmmmmm

And also, it is a pretty good song. Not my usual musical style, but I like it. Swear I think Ally is going to be downloading their music for awhile. She found a bunch of their music listed and loves it. hehe

And now I must head to bed. I've got to work in a few hours!! lol

Clarification

I need to clarify some things.

The married guy at work, let's call him TJ, is not some dirty old man or anything. TJ is about 25 and has been married for about 5 years. He has a 4 yr old and a 6 month old. He loves his wife to no end.

We just like to flirt with each other and talk about sex and lots of other mundane type stuff. We don't go into great detail about any of the naughty stuff. It's all just your basic flirting stuff.

I only mentioned it because it sort of shocked me when he admitted to having a crush on me. And he seriously looked embarrassed that I knew what he had signed to me. I think he was just goofing and didn't think I would know what he was saying.

And when I said I wasn't interested in him, I was talking about in actually doing anything. I totally enjoy talking and flirting with him. But I am in no way attracted to him. He is a skinny guy and I like my guys chubby. Well not to mention the whole married thing. That is all a big ole turn off. lol

But seriously, there is nothing to worry about. I'm just a natural flirt and I have to remember not to cross any lines because he is such a nice guy.

On the knitting front, I am getting closer to finishing clue 1 of the new mystery shawl. No need to bore you with pictures until it is done. I ordered some yarn the other day and it should be here next Tuesday. So I'll have some pics for ya then. I just put in an order for some dyes too. It is a small kit of autumn colored dyes. I have no clue when that will be here. Not that I don't have enough to keep me busy on the whole yarn front anyway.

Oh, did I tell ya that I got a drop spindle?? Haven't quite figured out how to use it yet. It came with instructions, but well I learn better from seeing something done. Which is why I couldn't figure out knitting until I got a cd-rom that showed how to do it. I'll have to take it over to Mom's and see if I can find some videos on YouTube. Cable is a must for watching videos. hehe

Ok, time to go make some lunch. Then more knitting on MS4.

ssssssnnnnnooooorrrrrrrkkkkkkk

Allergy season is in full swing in the house of Frod. I'm taking 24 hour relief stuff that is only lasting me 12 hours. I wake up at 2am with snot pouring out of my nose and down the side of my face.

Wakes ya up real damn fast. lol

The thing that really gets me though is the fact that it has been raining like an SOB. It's been raining for the last 3 days or so and I've been miserable. You would think that with the rain beating down that the pollen and stuff wouldn't be able to fly around and cause me misery.

We had to turn the lights on at work today because it got so dang dark when the latest storm blew through. Normally we are able to turn the lights off by 9 am. I work in a tent like building. It is a ClearSpan building. It is white and made of fabric, so usually it is light enough in there so we can do without artificial lighting.

Things are a lil weird at work. All I'll say is that there is a guy. He is unavailable. I'm not really interested to begin with. But he appears to be. Very strange. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking a tightrope.

And now it is time for me to get ready for bed. If I stay online any longer, I'll end up spending more money. I got bamboozled into buying some yarn from Canada. Spent much more than I normally would for it too. But it is sooo pretty. And it is the yarn recommended for the next mystery shawl from GoddessKnits.com. Not that I'm getting much done on the current one. hehe Someday I'll get my act together. And the next day I'll die. lmao

OMG I'm tired

I stayed up until 1:30 this morning reading. Finished HP in a day and a half or so. I will read it again later. I'm going to go back and buy each of the other books first and re-read them. The first time I read them, I had borrowed the books. I really do want to have the whole set in my little library. Yeah, stick Harry Potter between The Shining and The Vampire Lestate. hahaha

I will not discuss specifics about the book for awhile though. Not going to say who died or who didn't. I will say that I did cry a couple times. I was surprised by a few of the deaths or lack of a death or two that I had expected. I am looking forward to how they will bring this book to the screen. And I'm going to have to get all the movies on DVD. The kid is totally wearing out the VHS tapes. hehe Ok, so maybe I have played a bit of a part in that too.

I've started clue 4 of the MS3. I've got about 8 rows done with approximately 1,000,000,000 to go. hehe I'm going to do a double lengthening. I'm a big gal with a big chest. And so far, my stole is just not looking very long. And I think it is supposed to be about 1/3 of the way done already. Ummm yeah. I don't need a headscarf. I just made one of those inadvertently. hehe

The newest mystery shawl from GoddessKnits.com is starting this weekend I believe. I, of course, will not be starting until Monday. Damn job. hehe I do love those pay checks though.

The house is still mostly clean. I'm thinking that Nick has his own personal Peeves following him around. He comes in and POOF there is a mess. It's like a mini explosion going on. I haven't really worked on cleaning up my room yet. I was too busy with the whole reading thing. I just need an extra room added on to this place. Nothing big. It could just be a large closet with lots of shelves and I would be happy. hehe

Ok, I'm off to knit. I've got a long ways to go.

shocker

Oh man, I came home today and my first thought was that I had been robbed.

When I came in the front door, I could actually see my kitchen floor. My dishwasher was no longer in the middle of the kitchen. The pile of shoes in the entrance was gone. The pile of clothes on the couch was gone. I could even see the living room floor.

First thing out of my mouth was "Oh shit" Nick looked around and says, "Well I didn't see that one coming" hehehehe

It would seem that there was a visit from the M.O.M Super Duper Cleaning service today. As soon as I grabbed myself a bottle of Pepsi, I went and gave the owner of M.O.M. a call. I do believe I called her a brat before thanking her. Told here that I appreciated it cause it meant I could spend more time reading Harry Potter this week. roflmao She reminded me that I still needed to clean my room and dust the living room. hehehe

My mom is a total clean freak. She can not stand having a messy house. I, on the other hand, am not a big fan of housework. When I get far enough behind in the housework, Mom comes over and does a mass cleaning. She averages a visit like that maybe every 8 months or so.

I seriously did intend to work on cleaning up this week in between reading and knitting. I will try and make a dent in my room. It's never going to be perfect. I seriously need a spare bedroom for the computer and yarn. If I had that, I would be able to have a clean room. Seriously if I had a bigger place, the master bedroom would be for the pc and yarn. I would take the smallest bedroom for me and Nick could have the middle sized room for himself. I would love to have a room just big enough for my bed and dresser and that is it. Well of course, that is if I had another room for the rest of my stuff. Unfortunately, I live in a 2 bedroom place and it is small. The only place the pc will fit is in my room. I have no other place to put the yarn stash. That is why my bed is way up off the floor. hehe

I swear though, if I'm still at this job next year, I'm looking for a house to rent in the next town over. That way we will have more room to spread out in. I would love to have a basement where Nick could have a playroom and I could stash the stash. hehe

Anyways, I'm gettin pretty damn sleepy here. I do believe I'm gonna hit the sack. No knitting progress to report seeing as I didn't knit this weekend. I'm way too tired after work to even think about trying to knit. It would be disastrous. hehe But, tomorrow is another day.

gratuitous kid pics

Today the kid is officially 8 yrs old.

And I feel 108. hehehe

First some pics from the folk's house on Sunday. We celebrated my bro's bday (the 13th), Nick's bday and Father's day all in one.

Mom getting the cake and Dad cutting up munchies. Oh and the kid hamming it up for the camera.

The birthday boys getting ready to blow out the candles. The kid adores his uncle Joe.

The kid is a lil slow. Or maybe the bro is a blowhard. hehe

My brother hates having his pic taken. hehe Kept looking away from his wife so she couldn't take his pic. I don't mind if the person isn't looking at the camera. Although you wouldn't know it by the pics I take of the kid. hehe

Talk about patience. lmao Dakota ate way too much sausage and cheese thanks to her papa.

And here are pics from today. I didn't want to throw a regular birthday party for the kid cause he does NOT need more presents. So we went around the neighborhood and invited a few kids over to play on his new slip-n-slide and eat cake and ice cream.

I didn't take pics of the other kids. Not sure their Mom's would appreciate my putting their pics up on the net. Just sayin.

So, lots of pics of the kid turning blue. hehe







Love the look on his face here.





He had a blast. He did mange to piss me off a bit though. I baked him a cake. One box of white cake mix and one box of confetti cake mix. Covered it in chocolate frosting. Bought a gallon of ice cream for $7 at the damn gas station. He didn't eat one bite of the cake. He loved the ice cream of course, but wouldn't touch my cake. And it was good. I mean, real good.

Making dinner tonight sucked ass too. Got a taco kit out of the cabinet. Thawed some browned hamburger and tossed in the water and seasoning mix. Once it was simmering, I went to heat up the tortillas. Opened the sealed foil package and flopped the tortillas onto a paper plate only to discover that they were covered in lil piss ants. Picked em up to look close and the plate was literally covered in ants.

So into the garbage with the soft tortillas. Figured I had 6 hard taco shells so no problem. Opened the sealed plastic package only to find that the tacos were covered in ants too. gggggrrrrrrr No tortilla chips in the house, so I had to run to the gas station yet again. Bought a bag of chips and a root beer. (gonna have a root beer float before bed if my tummy stops screaming at me for eating too much taco salad) So, my tacos turned into taco salad. It was saved by the fact that I keep shredded cheese in the freezer all the time and I just so happened to have a can of black olives in the cabinet. ( no ants thank god ) Kid of course wouldn't touch it. He ate bologna. sigh

And now I'm gonna pop a tums and work on swatching for the mystery stole using US3s.

Green thumb

Tonight we decided to do a little gardening.



For Mother's Day, Nick gave me this little planter of flowers. So far, I've managed to not kill them. Although they have had a few close calls when I forgot to water them. lol

He grew the one in the middle from seed at school. The crazy ones on the sides were my dad's addition. Not sure what they are but the orange one is weird. It refuses to stand up and the flower is at an odd angle.

And here we have the new planter all done.

Yes I do realize that the one plant is a spider plant that is normally in a hanging planter, but I'm fairly sure I can keep it alive and that was the important thing when choosing. hehe

And here is the little gardener.


I wish the boy would smile like a normal person.


He didn't get his hands dirty during the gardening. Would have had to touch the potting soil to do that. lol He just watched and then got the water so I could give the plants a drink.

The plants are now in their new home in front of the back door. Yes, I have a planter on my living room floor in front of the door. Only place in the house I can guarantee that it will get sunlight. I generally keep all the blinds closed and that is the only one that is up a bit. I have issues with people being able to see into the house.

Anyways, I've been trucking along on the purple shawl. Nothing to show yet as I've only done about 20 rows of the chart I'm on. 14 more to go before it is done. It's still taking me about half an hour per round thanks to the easy patterning.

I got the beads for the mystery stole today. They are tiny. Much smaller that the ones I was testing with my yarn. I may have to order some laceweight yarn and give up on the fingering weight. I can't get the crochet hook through the metal bead at all. The hook is a size 14 and tiny. I can't get the yarn pulled back through the larger rootbeer bead. Ya know, I think I'll swatch with some brown and blue laceweight I have. I've got a bunch of the beads I was swatching with and might have enough for the pattern. Maybe I'll do one stole in the black fingering and larger beads and one stole in the laceweight and rootbeer beads. Why not? I've already got 2 shawls going as it is. lmao

candy

Snickers

Nutty and gooey - you always satisfy.

What Kind of Candy Are You?

Had to post this one as Snickers is my all time favorite candy bar. I love them mixed in my ice cream or just frozen. I've been known to buy large bags of the fun sized bars and put em in the freezer. They last longer that way cause I have to go out in the garage to get em. hehehe

Oh and get this.... Blogger has decided that I'm a spammer. I have to do word verification to post. Not sure if I can post from Flickr while it is on there. I've requested that they review my blog and take the damn thing off.

So, dear Mr/Mrs Blogger Reviewer, please remove the word verification from my blog. I'm not a spammer. I may be a bit boring, but I swear I'm not spamming anyone. Shoot, I only have 9 people that subscribe to my feed on Bloglines. lol I don't eve link to books on Amazon any more. It's much too dangerous to my pocketbook. lol

Ummmmm

One should really pay attention when one has eggs on the stove to hard boil.

Burned hard boiled eggs really really fucking stink.

When I turned the water on the pan of 3 eggs, 2 of em popped. I do believe I may have wrecked my damn pan too.

All I can say is "EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW"

and before you ask..... Yes, I am a natural blonde!! :OP

Lucccccyyyyyyyy!!!!!

I'mmmmmm Hooooooooommmmmmmeeeeeee!!!!!

My SIL brought the loaner computer to my folk's house yesterday. All I needed to do was install my modem and plug it in. Wellllll, it sounded easy. The pc is an old Gateway and I could NOT figure out how to get the damn cover off. I finally broke down and called Joe and asked. Turns out it was how I thought but damn if it didn't take me another 10 minutes and an 7 yr old assistant to get that damn thing off.

Turns out that the loaner pc is not a loaner. In fact, it is my birthday present. The sound card is great, graphics card is pretty good and it has a 38GB hard drive. There is a dvd burner I do believe and a cd burner. I haven't explored the hard ware all that close yet. I needed to get myself caught up on my blogs and email. I'm getting there. lol

Sooo, what have I been up to the last 9 days. Lots and lots of knitting. I have taken some pictures, but I don't have my camera set up on here and I haven't put PSP on here yet either.

Mother's day was pretty good. I got a plant from the kid along with a sweet card. Nick grew the pansy from seed at school. My dad added a couple other flowers to it. Not sure what they are though. I'll have to ask. Anyways, 2 days later the bloom on Nick's flower was dead. There was another bud and I thought a day or so more of sun would bring me a nice little pink flower. Except for some reason, Nick plucked it off before it even opened. lmao The 2 mystery flowers are just fine. Just no blooms on Nick's plant.

I finished the green mystery shawl last Monday. I used my new blocking wires and got it all blocked and pretty on Tuesday. Never fear, pictures will be posted soon. I will get my programs loaded on here sooner or later. :OP

I'm making great time of the purple shawl. I'm getting real close to finishing the big clue that determines the size of the shawl. Basically, one repeat for small, 2 for medium and 3 for large. It's more complicated than that but in it's essence, that is the gist.

I've also been swatching for my own shawl pattern. I've got a huge huge cone of very very thin grey wool. I'm using it doubled and using size 1 addi turbos. I soooo need to get some of their lace needles. These points are just too blunt for this. Lots of charting with graph paper and lots of ripping out. It is impossible to pick stitches back up if they are dropped on this stuff. No ripping back and reworking. I've got an open source excel type program on disk somewhere and I sooooo need to get it loaded. Much easier to move stuff around than killing my erasers. lol

I even picked up the long ignored green sweater from hell. The neck is done. It's funky as hell, but it's done. I've got the sleeves picked up and I've got about 6 rows done on each one. I can not count rows for shit in this boucle yarn, so I have to work them at the same time. I really need to decrease the sleeves, cause this sweater is very very baggy. Which is what I want, but I don't want 20" cuffs. lol I forgot just how nice it was to work with worsted weight yarn and size 10.5 needles. hehe

Last Friday, was my birthday. My folks took myself and the kid to see Shrek the Third. It was hilarious. The kid learned an important lesson. A 7 yr old's bladder is NOT big enough to hold a large Pepsi and still make it home. He rushed out the theater after the movie but had to come back in the building to use the facilities. I had to giggle with the way he was running. The folks also bought me a nice lacy top and an awesome raspberry lemonade candle. The cool thing about the top is that fact that I damn near bought it for myself last week. hehe Good thing I was feeling cheap that day.

In other news, my lil bro Nick is going to fix the air in my car!! It totally died a few days ago. It's going to cost him about $65 for the part. He insists that he doesn't want anything for putting it in. I'm writing the turd a check for more than that and he can just suck it up. hehe He called me Saturday night to wish me a happy bday. Thought he was someone else and pissily told him he was a day late. He felt so bad. lol

Anyways, I'm just so tickled to have a working computer again. I've been vegetating all day long. hehe But it's back to reality. Time to go make some dinner.

hrmph

I am tired.

Horrible tired. But it is my own fault.

Finally had Nick's parent/teacher conference today. Not totally happy with what I heard. He is doing find academically. He is just having some trouble with getting his words down on paper. Wonder where he gets that from? lol His reading and math are both right on track.

It's his behavior that is the problem. He is an only child. My folks have no other grandkids. Yes I've mentioned nieces and nephews. Long long story, but Nick has never seen any of them. Neither have I for that matter, but that isn't the story I'm trying to tell. There are only a couple kids that live on our street. There are quite a few in the apartments behind us, but Nick has shown no interest in going down there and playing with anyone. Basically, our street has 8 apartments in 4 duplexes. Including Nick, there are 8 kinds. May seem like a lot, but 4 of them are 3 yrs or younger. And he doesn't really like the other 3. The oldest girl is a total freakin witch and I don't want him playing with her.

So basically, He doesn't have much experience dealing with other kids other than at school. He has been in school since he was 3 1/2, but that really doesn't give him much chance to try and make friends. He is kind of shy just like his mommy. So he doesn't really know how to approach the other kids. I'm afraid he is following in my footsteps there. I went to 10 schools before graduating high school. I kind of gave up on trying to make friends because I didn't see the point. We were going to end up moving away again anyway, so why try? So, I'm horrible at trying to make friends. So now Nick isn't sure how to do it.

And of course, the lil shit is just as stubborn as I am. When he doesn't want to do something, he won't. When he doesn't want to participate, he mumbles and won't look at the teacher. She has to constantly work with him on speaking up. He doesn't know how to take turns very well either. He doesn't understand why he can't be first all the time. I mean, really, he gets to be first at home so why not at school?? Well that is his thinking anyway.

Found out today that when they have a substitute teacher, his behavior really acts up. He thinks he can get away with being a butt cause the sub won't know better. I guess one time it got so bad that he tried to hit the sub!! I so with they would have let me know about that when it happened. He would not have been a happy camper. I'm not even sure when it happened, so I dunno how I should go about dealing with it.

So, mentally, that has me kind of worn out. When I got home it was lunch time, so I made a pot pie. Was in the middle of eating it when I realized I had a voice mail message from Mom. Turns out it was taco salad day at the cafeteria. I've got a $10 gift certificate, so she told me to come over. Well, who am I to pass up taco salad. I figured that I would bring it home and eat it later. I don't mind cold taco salad. Well Mom put it on a regular plate, so I had to eat it there. Not sure why she did that cause I never eat there. So basically, I'm stuffed to the gills and ready for a damn nap.

But I can't nap. Cause lil Mr. Nick gets off of school in a half hour. I'm not one of those people that can take a cat nap. I always wake up more tired and usually with a headache. Yes I know that I usually have a headache anyway, but no sense in making it any worse.

Can't take a nap when he gets home cause Dr Phil will be on and today's show is supposed to be real good. Some total SOB that totally messes with his wife and faked a vasectomy so she would have sex with him again. Maybe after that I'll take a snooze.

I should be working on the purple shawl. I'm only about a row from finishing the 3rd clue. Then I'll get some pics for an update. I'm afraid that there just aren't enough pictures in my flickr album to make for a very good badge over there. It looks like all the pics are the same. hehe

Ok, time to go get a cold Pepsi and see if the caffeine will perk me up.

BTW if you like sig tags for your e-mail, check out my tag site. I've uploaded some more new ones in the last week. The addy is www.tagsbyfrod.com.

I'm not avoiding you

I swear I'm not.

I've just been a bit busy. Last night I had to knit a baby hat for my mom. She wanted a completed hat before I left her house. She has no clue just how slowly I knit. hehe I did manage to finish knitting it but I didn't get the ends weaved in. She will get the finished hat tomorrow. It helps that the baby was only 5lbs. Didn't have to make a big one or anything. I even added a lil bit of texture to it. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow. I'm a tad tired tonight.

I spent all day long cleaning house. I had let the dishes and wash pile up a bit. I've just got a couple pans and the dinner dishes from tonight to wash in the morning. The major part of the mess today was my son's room. OMG the kid is a damn pig. Ok so he takes after his mother in the neatness arena. :OP

But anyways, it took me and my mom about 3 hours to clean everything in there. We cleaned out his closet and his toy boxes. I already had 2 totes of his stuff out in the garage but I hadn't really gone through it for the garage sale, so I brought it in.

In total, we had 2 full totes, a small laundry basket, a duffel bag and a large black garbage bag full of things for the garage sale. There was half a tote of books. A tote and a half of clothes. The rest was movies and toys. We got him to get rid of his Power Ranger and Rescue Heros tapes and toys. I sooo hate the Power Rangers. We also got rid of all of his Rugrat and Tellytubbies tapes too. I will miss the Rugrats tapes. I quite enjoy watching them.

The kid's room is totally clean now though. I do believe I'll take a picture of that tomorrow too. hehe He has 2 half empty totes of toys in his closet and several small totes full of cars and legos. There is actually room in his dresser for all of his clothes now. hehe

OK, now I need to hit the sack. I really need to finish clue 2 of the current mystery shawl. I've got about 10 rows to go I think, but the new clue comes out tomorrow. hehe Night all!

hmmmmm

I've done a bit of cleanup on the ole blog. I removed my digital pets. I've saved the code or them and I'll make a little page for them later. I can't put them in a post because blogger doesn't allow javascript in a post. In the template is fine but not in a post. Ummmm ok whatever. heh

I also went back through to count up how many comments I've gotten on this crappin blog. Turns out I've had 211 comments on 293 posts. Doesn't sound too bad until I realized that most of my comments occurred in 2005. I would get 3 or 4 comments on each post. Any more I'm lucky if I get 1 comment on 1 out of every 5 posts. lol I guess I'm slipping.

Nobody loves me any more!!!! wwwwwhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa

hehehehehehe

Well the major thing that has cut into my comments is that my biggest 2 commenters aren't in the blog world any more. Jon has gone and gotten him a man and deleted his blog. I can't even express how much I miss that boy. Anyone heard from him?? Laura still has a blog, but she hasn't posted in months and months. But, she has found a new calling in life with the Preemie Project.

Oh well. I'm just gonna have to start commenting on all the blogs that I read a little more often. Maybe they will come visit me too. hehe I read a lot of blogs, but I don't comment nearly as much as I should.

Btw, I wasn't able to find a dentist to see me today. I'll give my regular guy a call on Monday, but he isn't going to be happy with me. It has been far too long since I've visited him. He is a sweet guy but I have a phobia about dentists. Just have to be careful to chew on the left until I can get in to see him.

Well, I'm gonna go work on my gloves and then hit the sack. I'm pooped. I'm still thinking on which yarn to pony up to one of the few people who stop by here. Definately going to be sock yarn. Most likely something I got off of eBay or Etsy. We shall see. We shall see.

Christ in heaven!!

I swear every day my child does something to make me wonder if I dropped him on his head one too many times.

He came in here about a half hour ago complaining that his hair was sticking up and it wouldn't lay down flat.

Ummmmmm, Helloooooo??? It's after 10 pm. What the hell are you still doing awake in the first place?

So I did that disgusting mom thing. I licked my hand real good and slapped his hair down. It still didn't lay flat. So being the dip shit weirdo I am, I took a piece of scotch tape and taped it down. After giggling and saying I was just kidding, I took the tape off. I told him that he would be taking a shower in the morning and all would be fine.

Couple minutes later he came back in whining. He had taken another piece of tape with a bit more grip and put it on his hair. When he tried to remove the tape, it wouldn't come right off like the scotch tape did. So I held onto his hair and pulled the tape off.

That's when I noticed what else he did.

He freaking took the scissors to his hair and cut off the part that was sticking up!!!!!

He got a good swat for that one.

He is 7 1/2 yrs old. Why the hell is he so concerned about if his hair is sticking up??? And who the hell is going to be sneaking in his room to see said hair sticking up??? You would think he would be old enough to know better than to just hack off a bunch of hair because it was sticking up. Especially since last year I accidentally gave him a nice bald spot on the front of his head when I forgot to put the comb back on the clippers one time. ooooppss!

I'm just so damned peeved with him. He just got a haircut about 2 weeks ago, but I'm going to have to cut it again tomorrow. And it is too damn cold here to be running around with real short hair. sigh

hehehehe

Is it me, or do these guys look totally stoned??? They are so damned ugly that they are cuter than hell. I swear, some day, I'm gonna have a couple of these ugly buggers.

More of me????

Frankly I'm not that surprised. I know of at least 3 other people while my same full name within 20 miles of me. In fact, I share a dentist with 2 of them and work for the same temp agency as another. hehe
