Eventually i will figure out how to put buttons on my blog.
I love all yarn, whether it is fuzzy, wool, or acrylic. The closest yarn shop to me is a good hour away, so if i don't order it online, then I am left with whatever is stocked at Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. So if my secret pal has some real wool or some Rowan yarn, I would gladly accept the scraps in any color. really any yarn would be cool. my favorite shades to knit or crochet with are shades of aqua, purple, hot pink and greens found in the Irish countryside. i do not like yellow. I would love to learn how to spin yarn someday, but i lack a teacher and spinning supplies, so I really admire people that can spin their own yarn.

Mac Love
This post is brought to you by my brand new Mac. I love my Powerbook and it loves me back. It understands me. LOL. I promise that I am not going crazy, just in serious awe. So yesterday at work, this massive breaker blew and the computer room lost power. Therefore, we didn't have our server, so it made things a huge PAIN IN THE ASS. Hopefully, it is up and running tomorrow. Things go so much faster, especially when I can access my files stored out in Neverland.
I haven't transfered music or major files yet. However, I did use my digital camera and importing photos into iphoto is so freaking easy. it gets them off your camera, and you can start editing right away. just like that. I can't wait to take her own road trips. I can even burn dvds and all that fancy stuff. i have bluetooth capabilities too. I can type in bed if I want to. LOL.

Wacky Weekend
So this weekend was supposed to be quiet and boring. Which it was until maybe Saturday evening. N came down late Saturday evening and we hung out with my sis and went out for ice cream. Then he went home cause he was getting really tired and it was starting to storm.
The big stuff happened this morning. My sis and I were leaving for Wally World when we noticed a puddle in our garage between the trash can and the water heater closest. We thought that the garbage was leaking, so we decided to fix it when we got back. We get home and move the trash can and there's nothing leaking from it. So we think O FUCK. We move the stuff away from the water heater closet door and open it up. It was like the floods of '93 in there. We catch my parents at the airport pre-take off but my dad's phone is not getting much signal. there are a bazillion switches on this thing. and it's gas so i don't want the house to blow up. So i call N for moral support cause his dad is a plumber. meanwhile, my sister is calling every one we know in town cause N lives an hour away, so I wasn't going to make him come down unless there was no one else. Well, K my dad's buddy and a member of our carpool is out running errands. So my sis gets two of her older friends to come out. These dudes are roughnecks and basically jacks of all trades.
Meanwhile, everybody is slowing down in their Mercedes and Lexuses gawking at us, while we are stopping the floods. The roughnecks get it all shut off (including the gas) and K comes up. He talks to my dad via the phone and goes over to Lowes to pick up a water heater. Blah blah blah...my parents come home just as K and the roughnecks are starting to install the new one. Crisis ended. We have hot water so tomorrow I won't have to stink or take a shower god knows where. of course, i'm tired cause of all this and the whole daylight savings thing. what a way to end a weekend.
So how's my new laptop? Well, don't ask me. The UPS guy is holding it hostage until Monday afternoon cause this is the one time they want a signature. Not to mention the fact that they have dumped $3000 dell computers for the neighbors in our yard when we weren't even home. My sis left 15 mins before the UPS guy came. When I ordered it, my mom wasn't going to St. Louis with my dad. She decided this about wednesday night. Yay for me. I want my laptop love!!!!! I'm not bitter, i'm just having a trying time right now is all.
As a result of this weekend, I will forever know what the water shut off valve thingy for the water heater looks like. I will pay for expediated shipping on laptops. Those are a sampling of lessons I have learned this weekend.
