I just made a post but who cares?

Man do I ever love google. Have I mentioned to you how bad my memory is? I don't remember. If I stop doing something for a while like adding for instance...my brain gets rusty and I have to resort to counting on my fingers again. Which is probably why I messed up my purl stitches. But if I forget something like how to spell a simple word like...through(because texting has made me lazy and I normally type thru) I can just google it. The other day I had a funeral to go to and I couldn't find the paper where I wrote down the specifics so I googled my beloved deceased's name and found the address right there online. I was making the envelopes to send out the boy's announcements and I googled whether you write The Smiths or The Smith's. (it's the first one btw) I have no idea what I would do without google or the internet for that matter.

Dude I totally forgot how to purl

Blame it on the new mommy brain if you want but I did knit the boy a hat shortly after he was born. I think I did my purl stitches correctly on that. Yesterday I was bored so I decided to start knitting a practice intarsia swatch and my purl stitches are twisted or something because when I went to knit the next row I couldn't get the needle to go through the front! I ripped it out (no biggie because it was only a 20 st wide swatch) but it happened again. I'm gonna Youtube it later. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong.

dear kindergarten admittance people,

My little girl came in to see you on Tuesday, I still have not received word as to how she did on her test. I'm wondering if you could let me know when I should expect to hear from you. I was under the understanding that this whole process needed to be finished by June 10th and by my count there are only 13 days of school left until then. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.

sincerely,
a very impatient mother

1000 smiles to you

yesterday morning I lost $200 cash....couldn't find it anywhere. but I just found it just now! yay I'm so happy about it!

495

This weekend we went out of town and I was supposed to drive my crossover and my hubby was gonna ride with his step-father who was driving our pick-up....well then my FIL tells me we are going to take 495 and i said "oh, no I am not driving on 495" so Hubby drove the crossover and I passengered with him.....It was so scary I had my eyes closed more than half the time! My FIL was towing a trailer behind the pickup and we were following him until some one cut us off and I got so freaked I was thinking what if this idiot slams on his breaks and we don't have time and we slam into him and it sends him slamming into the pickup....then I would have to call my insurance company and explain to them how we crashed our crossover into our pickup. I could just imagine telling the phone rep that and him asking me to hold so he could get his supervisor, then I am asked to repeat the story and it turns out that I wasn't transferred at all...they just put me on speakerphone and the whole office is laughing at me. I am never going near 495 again.

china

So I won a third auction off ebay from China...I bought a bunch of dpns for really cheap. They sent me a letter saying that the shipped but it will take 20 days to get here!!! so it's only been 10 days since I bought the jump rings.... I think the Internet is bad for me, always being so instant gratification and stuff. Leaves me with no patience to wait for 20 days. Sometimes I wonder how I ever waited 38 weeks for LG. Yea she was 13 days early, lol I was supposed to work that day. I remember I was at work on Tuesday and I was dancing even (one of the many perks of working with kids you can act as silly as you like and no one cares) and one of my co-workers told me that I shouldn't because of the baby and she was born less than 24 hours after that. Thank fully my labor was short and my baby was small. I hope to be as lucky next time lol.

Whatever

So my backup glasses are broken, i am stuck wearing my contacts all day everyday or being blind. I was sewing together or "finishing" the animals when I got bored and put them aside, I started a purse for my mom which I'm sure will bore me at some point at which time I will get those blasted animals done. I actually like how the upper body and lower body pieces came together, I was so scared that it wouldn't work but SURPRISE! it did. I also got rained on today with 2 babies and a four year old in tow lol.

Intarsia

Well here it is, my finished intarsia. Apparently I can't follow directions because it was supposed to be two rows of the pattern and I only did one, tho I don't know how it would have fit if I had read the directions. So I was supposed to make two triangles like this and five circles well the triangles were easy cuz they were decreased but I couldn't do the circles...I think it's because they had increases in the middle of the intarsia. So I made the snout light pink and I haven't decided what to do for the foot pads I think I might stripe them.

wow...

So I tried to knit yesterday but I couldn't concentrate so I took a nap instead. I've been busy all day and I have the viewing tonight ....maybe I can get some stitches in before bed. So I went to get the kindergardener(daycare kid not my LG) off the bus and it was raining so I was joking with him and put my arm thru his coat sleeve with his arm still in there and threw him up on my back. I was 75% of the way to the house when I fell and ripped open the knees of my pants and a little bit of the skin of my knees. All in front of the bus driver!!! The boy is fine, just 1 scrape no blood... my left knee is bleeding and I already have bad knees as it is. sigh we were having so much fun too. I don't know what is with the SO jeans from Kohl's I had two pair, the knees wore thru on the one and now I ripped thru the knees on the second...maybe I can knit a solution LOL

grrrrrr

We don't have a dishwasher so in our home Hubby cooks the dinner and I wash the dishes...except on Thursdays. on Thursday he has a raid on WoW so I make dinner on that night...I have burnt that dinner every time this month. tonight it was mac and cheese, last week I cooked frozen pizza with the cardboard, the week before I burned the Bertolli. What's the phrase? something like if anyone could make water burn it would be me.

wow i'm dumb

So I woke up really late today and spent the day cleaning (it's a sunday ritual) and knitting...I forgot to eat! No lie I had poptarts at noon and a sprite and a cup of coffee that's it. At around 7pm I was trying to work on the monkey with the size 3 dpn's and I noticed my hands shaking...so it took me like 5 mins to figure it out and then I went and made some Bertolli (uumm, ummm...good). And I am eating it while telling you how silly I am LOL.
