Ok, I'm Just Lazy

but it is Wednesday, so that means it is Happy List time!

1. Knitting and crocheting, because I haven't been doing a whole lot of that recently.
2. Knowing what I'm going to do with the next couple of years of my life.
3. Sitting around on lazy summer days.
4. Finding out that I might actually get to see my mom sometime this century.
5. Playing with tiny kittens named Shadow.



I haven't been posting this week, because I am lazy. In a few other blogs I've seen alphabet themed posts, do not be surprised if I start doing something similar over the summer.

As always:

Much Love From Carat Land!

I found a geek,

and I didn't even have to hunt down a basement first! Alright ladies and gents, I think the inner 16 year old girl has finished for a moment, but only a moment.

It is Wednesday, and therefore time for a happy list!

1. Geeks
2. Classes being over
3. Planning Hats
4. Making Things
5. Toe-Nail Polish

Happy Happy Happy Listing!

1. Learning to make an I-cord
2. Having the first three seasons of Grey's Anatomy on DVD
3. Pants that make my ass look fabulous, and are extremely comfortable
4. Clearance sales at book stores
5. Bombing a test, but still having an A average in government

No post yesterday due to sleep, I'll update on the knitting tomorrow. Lots of finished objects.

Hokay so...

It's Happy List Time

1. Not having a catastrophic computer meltdown.
2. dictionary.com
3. Organizing stash while listening to podcasts.
4. Baby Cat helping put all of the laundry away, if by helping you mean playing in the basket of T-Shirts while I try to fold them.
5. Flip Flops

It's Wednesday!

So therefore it is time for a Happy List!
5 completely random things that make me happy:

1. Finding my drivers license, before I gave in a trekked over to DPS to get a new one made
2. Discovering a random 4 ft long plank in the middle bedroom which I will turn into a "yardage measure" with two handy dandy nails.
2&1/2. Typing a blog entry while balancing said plank on my head, because I'm silly that way.
3. Discovering this:


I couldn't believe I found such a gem in Waxahachie, I think they opened last week.

4. Kettle Chips

5. Finding a ton of new blogs to read, my poor google reader is going to go into overload soon.

Oh my my my...

Happy list!

*Sale yarn, Bernat Soy skeins for a buck a pop.
*Russell, and his backwards sleeping schedule which makes him available for rondom conversation at 1 am
*A's on Government tests
*Good books
*Puppies

Since it's technically Thursday, and Thursdays are for things that drive me crazy:
Passing out for 6 hours, waking up at 9 pm and still being up at 2:30 when I have a test at 8 am

and since I'm driving to Avery on Friday:

Recommended Reading

Kate Chopin's "The Storm"

Happy List Time!

Yes ladies and gents I am posting something on schedule!
So with out further ado, 5 random things that make me happy:

*Finding a patternthat uses two techniques I want to learn more about, but also utilizes yarn that is already in my stash.

*Laughing at random because I have been over caffeinated.

*Learning that the incredibly awesome Russell some how became an alternate delegate for his precinct.

*Turning off all of the squiggly crap in MS Word so that I can just write, and not turn around to fix things every 20 seconds.

*Egg timers, and book cases.

Links and Things

I fixed up the link lists, now you can have at least an idea of what you will find when you click on something. I also added a list of what I'm knitting and crocheting at the moment, and a To Be Read list. Have fun figuring all of that stuff out.

So it is Wednesday and here is the Happy List:

5 random things that make me happy
*Figuring out how to make a super easy center pull ball of yarn.
*Finding my self-striping green hat, which I lost three weeks ago.
*Not throwing up all day.
*Pamprin.
*Buffy The Vampire Slayer.



Yes Dad, I am old enough to remember to turn a friggin timer on when I stick something in the oven.

Making up for last week

Last week I was hiding, and making a pair of lovely fingerless gloves, which I will post a picture of later.

So here is the Happy List I was supposed to post last Wednesday:
5 completely random things that make me happy:
*Converse shoes at Target.
*Finishing a knitting project, wearing it, and having a complete stranger compliment it.
*Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream
*Really good lotion
*Singing Avenue Q songs with your best friend while stuck in traffic.

Thursday I was going to post something called "Thursdays are for things that drive me crazy" but then I got distracted by something shiny: thumb gussets. So...

It drives me crazy when you are working a pattern in a book, and the author uses an abbreviation which they do not define. I had to set my work down in the middle of a row and look it up on knittinghelp.com.

By the way "Thursday is for things that drive me crazy" will probably be a regularly scheduled event

Saturday Melly and I went to the DMA to see the J.M.W. Turner Exhibit and it was lovely, and it will tip me back towards an A in my lit class.

Sunday Rage of The Week:
Saturday Feb 23& Sunday Feb 24

"Weekend Project:
Bond with your bad girl granny!
Your grandmother will be thrilled and delighted when you reach out and treat her like a bad girl friend. Be sure to take notes. You'll not only be laughing a lot, you'll be learning a lot.
*Sneak her cigarettes and bourbon
*Ask her to tell you all of her secret bad girl desires.
*Join her knitting circle and teach her friends to knit skimpy bikinis.
*Help her set up her computer and keep it running smoothly.
*Ask her to tell you that "I was a lesbian once, during the war" story again.
*Take her and a few bad friends to a racy movie, or badder yet, Chippendales.
*Road trip with her to Vegas!
*Give each other home perms.
*Swap dirty jokes.
*Swap pick up stories, tips, tricks, and techniques."

Now it is Monday, and I am fairly certain that this is the longest post I have made in this blog so far.

Melly - I changed the comment settings so that you can leave one if you like.

So now onto my next new regularly scheduled event: Monday Mania, where I tell you about something I'm going gaga for!

This week I'm all about bamboo knitting needles. for a long time I thought they were over priced and blah blah blah, and then I cast my newest project onto a set of bamboo circular needles, and I am in love with the feel of them.

Frustrated

I've recently wandered away from my internet obsession to delve into the wonderful world of yarn and Grey's Anatomy. In the tradition of being me I did this shortly after creating this blog, hence one post and then nada for a whole month. I have made a few thousand scarves though, and have even dared to start making a pair of gloves off of a *gasp* pattern.
On to the title of this lovely post, I recently had my lap top taken to the "computer doctor" and while he did a lovely job of installing the entire 07 Office Suite, as well as about 10000 other programs that I will never use he also wiped my entire hard drive of all poetry, writing, photos, music and even an essay I started for my English class last semester. The process of digging through back up CDs to find all of that has been unpleasant. Luckily most of it is back and I only have to re-rip about 50 CDs to get my collection in I Tunes back into shape. Today I finally took on the re-installation of fire fox, and all of the add ons that I had attached to it, there is one which I did not use before, but now after having re read the description I plan on using it, just one eensie weensie problem, when I installed it before I registered, but never activated my account. Rather than make a new email account just to register for a single extension I've deleted the program, and I am kind of disappointed.
Ugh I'm feeling all ramble-y so I will leave with a short list of things that make me happy:

Lush "Whip Stick" Lip Balm
Fuzzy Slippers
PodCasts
Eyelash yarn on sale for $1.99 a ball
and Super Sexy dark denim jackets
