Seriously...

A shout out to my childhood friends back in Iowa City who are currently getting trashed at the Iowa vs. Ohio State game. Win or loose, the Hawks will always be my all time favorite football team.

My car is having issues again. The air conditioning is no longer blowing cold air and my dad was too busy tanning and going to the gym to take a look. I will remind him of that on our hour long commute when we have to drive with the windows down and it's back to a lovely (insert sarcasm) 85 degrees. Plus guys were gawking at me when i had the windows rolled down. Was it the boobs or the Justin Timberlake music bouncing out of my car? Hmm...At least I wasn't playing my Peaches cd. Lol...

I did get very close and personal with my accounting text books this weekend. I actually studied and used my pretty new highlighters. I also finished reading Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak. Awesome book.

I watched disc one of Gilmore Girls Season 6 and disc one of Grey's Anatomy Season 2. I also cleaned out all the cd cases from my car. I really need to organize my cd stash, I still have no idea what I have right now.

My aunt D is going to visit in two weeks and my room looks the same as it did the last time she came to visit which was like two years ago I think. She's the type that would notice something like that. Plus, I'm kind of bored with the decor and I can't paint or rip out the nasty carpet (heavy furniture pain in the ass to move out of tiny-closet like room) seriously, i need to dust too and pack up some of the knick-knacks.

I've been making more dishcloths again. It's a stress reliever and I really do use them a lot.

The Twenty-Six Year Old...

I have been twenty-six since Monday and really not much has changed. My parents bought me Office for Mac AND I LOVE IT...I can do school homework on my mackie now and i haven't really had any problems getting the files to open on a PC. What a change from the old days. I still have major video iod envy...I have this problem where if there is something I want, I am not satisfied until I get it or achieve the desired goal. So i am absolutly FORCING MYSELF to save my fun money so I can get one by the end of the month.

I signed up for Secret Pal 9. I love mail and sending people mail is fun too. I am hoping that it provides me with some crafty inspiration too. I did get some crafty magazines when i went shopping with Sunshine last weekend. I am still in a crochet phase, although I had two tests and two papers due within the last week and a half, so my crafty pursuits were halted. Since I am not going anywhere this weekend, I will hopefully be able to get ahead on homework and possibly have some time for crafting and watching Gilmore Girls and Grey's anatomy dvds since those came out while i was in homework hell.

I also decided I need to organize my cds this weekend cause I seriously don't know what ones i have any more. That is one of the tragedies of the digital age.

Why Sunshine is my BFF

So tomorrow is my 26th birthday and this weekend I went to see the best friend a girl could have, my Sunshine. He managed to treat me like a birthday queen for the whole entire weekend. I had so much fun, I didn't want to leave. Honestly, this is probably one of the best birthday celebrations I have ever had. So this post is a shout-out to Sunshine, for making my birthday fiesta weekend awesome.

Reasons why Sunshine is my BFF

1. He accepts the fact that I love to wear black and as a result, am constantly whipping out my super duty lint roller and doesn't give me too much shit about it.

2. He patiently goes to craft stores and waits while I pace the yarn aisles.

3. He opens doors for me....proof that chivalry isn't dead

4. He is the only one that understands how much fun is it to sit in a booth in a restaurant playing with his new video ipod (i have major ipod envy since mine is a 3rd generation classic) watching Desperate Housewives, and using the stopwatch to time how long it takes for our food to arrive.

5. We can basically tell each other everything so we can hang out and not have drama.

6. He doesn't mock me for my Gap dependency

7. He is Mac compatible

8. He takes me to cool places like the Plaza and marching band festivals

9. His music stash is the only one that rivals mine

10. Did I mention that he is an awesome listener? and puts up with all my quirks?


Well, those are just a few reasons. I could go on and on forever. I just wanted Sunshine to know how much I appreciate him and that I am really grateful that he is my friend. Like my platinum friend for sure. Seriously...

Live from Wichita, it's Saturday morning!!!!

So I am at M's new apartment listening to her saw logs cause she is into sleep and I am like crap, half the day's over!! lol... She skimped on the DSL signal so it's slower than i am used to and Mackie doesn't like that as much, but it's better than dial-up...Last night we ate at Bennegin's with Red and I had a really awesome Texas Lemonade. Yum-O. We only had an hour before SuperTarget closed to shop for a wedding present and the towels they wanted were half-off on clearance....they are really soft, I want to get another one when we go back to day if M ever decides to give up on sleeping. I will also be buying a Texas sized super ton duty lint brush because I am covered in CAT HAIR!!!!! EWWWWWW!!!!!! I am NOT EVEN going to go there... Sunshine knows how I feel about that. YUCK....


Anyhoo, more later...I can't wait to see you next weekend Sunshine!!

Thank You One Skein Secret Pal!!

So yesterday, I came home from work and there was this most wonderful skein of yarn waiting for me from my One Skein Secret Pal. It is 100% handspun mohair and it's turqoise with some light green throughout...It is soo soft and the colors are just vibrant. The yarn was made by Inhope, at inhope.etsy.com and I can't wait to make something with it. This is my first skein of handspun yarn, I feel really spoiled. I will have to put a picture up on Flickr this weekend so that everyone can see the colors...

Thanks!!!

My Blog is Over A Year Old!!

So my blog turned a year old on August 30th, but it was a weekday so i totally forgot about it until this weekend. Lol...Lots of things have changed since last year. I have a different job, gas has dropped to $2.42 here in Oklahoma, I am going to accounting school and well, I still don't have a boyfriend, so some things never change.

All my crafty ambitions fell to the wayside. I did finally finish this obxious green dishcloth and I started on another one today that looks exactly like Neopolitan ice cream. I bought clearanced out mini cross stitch kits and organized that stash. I didn't work on my bigger crochet projects. I did manage to do a ton of laundry and vaccuming. I finally broke down and bought one of those mildew resistant shower curtains at linens n things today, so we'll see if it lives up to its claims. My Sublime Stitching book arrived on Friday, but i was a slacker so i haven't tried out any of the patterns yet. I was going to take pictures of all the dishcloths and post them on my Flickr blog but my stupid digital camera batteries died and they are really old so they take forever to charge and my camera is old so it eats them right up..lol...and it doesn't like regular batteries either.

I downloaded the new Justin Timberlake single "SexyBack." I can't wait until that cd comes out. I have decided that The Killers' latest single "When You Were Young" is my new birthday song, cause I will be TWENTY-SIX on the 25th...Lol...

I didn't really watch any new DVDs this weekend except for the Duckie Edition of Pretty in Pink, i couldn't resist buying that because it is one of my favorite movies and I didn't have it on DVD yet. I can't wait for season 6 of Gilmore Girls and season 2 of Grey's Anatomy to come out on DVD...YAY!!!! ABC family will start showing Everwood on October 2nd. Now if they would only release the other seasons on DVD I would be a happy camper.
