My cousin A-dolly had baby K this afternoon at 3:05 pm. She is beautiful and healthy and she's wearing the pink camo hat I knitted for her. How awesome is that!!!! I feel really honored. Seriously. You can not slap the grin off my face. My aunt D called like literally five minutes after Baby K was born. when I got back from night class there was pictures waiting for me and I got all misty eyed. Babies are really precious and A-dolly and I grew up together and she really is like my own sister and I'm godmother to her first child. I wish I could just get in the ol Subaru and drive right home to Iowa to be there with them all. That is the shitty part about being down here. Maybe I can talk my mom into going up for weekend before they move to NC. Who knows.
Now I have a shopping excuse. there are girly outfits at Baby Gap waiting for me to purchase them. It's just a huge relief knowing that Baby K is here now and healthy.
SQUEEEEEEEE!!!! Insert cheesy-ass grin here. For today, I am Little Miss Sunshine. I will savor the beautiful moments.

Twenty Hours in Two Days
Since I have worked twenty hours in the last two business days, this will be one of my listy posts.
1. The parents made an offer on a house but we won't know for two days
2. I bought Little Miss Sunshine on dvd when I got out of night class tonight
3. I really hope that a second storm doesn't slam Iowa this week because A-dolly will be having baby number 2 tomorrow. i am anxiously awaiting.
4. I won a skein of yarn from Becky for commenting on her blog. How cool is that?
5. It is hard to sleep at night when you have two yorkies that both want to sleep on your chest and you are sleeping with them on a standard sized couch.
6. I loved all of Ellen's tuxes at the Oscars. yay for al and melissa E. too. Liberals rock!!!!
7. I survived closing the books for the month. barely. hence, twenty hours in two days and there wasn't enough caffeine in the world. A my co-worker and I have been secretly listening to music on our ipods in order to maintain some shred of sanity while making hundreds of journal entries. Thank god for cardigans!!!
8. Praise the Lord for the warm weather in Oklahoma. Please send some to my people in Iowa.
9. i am going to go now and have a glass of Bailey's con leche so that my anxious little brain will slow down. i feel like a two year old with severe ADHD.
10. I did make two hats while watching the Oscars. yay!
Sunshine, if you read this you need to send me a smoke signal that you are still alive!! You are one of my precious few sane friends and I have some interesting things to tell you that can't be said on the internet. And I miss you, like seriously.

All the Pretty Dresses
So I'm dog sitting at my parents house and so I'm watching the pre-shows for the Oscars. Personally, I would rather wear a tailored tux myself, but I like to look at the pretty dresses and the sparklies and the purses.
Who am I watching for?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Al Gore and An Inconvient Truth
Little Miss Sunshine cast (i love movies about dysfunctional families)
the gyllenhaals--Maggie and Jake
Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Michaels
and Ellen (i'm most excited about her hosting the show)
I took a visitor from the company to Catholic mass today at my mom's church. She's two years younger than me and actually practices and asked if I would go with her. It was special event day and it ended up being over an 1 1/2 hours!!!! The things I do for the company.
Then I went to Wal-mart on a mountain dew run and ended up buying An Inconvient Truth. I loved the book and all the sciency stuff. Al Gore presents it in a way that is accessible to the general public. I watched it this afternoon and I plan on watching it again. It was that good.
Tonight I plan on calculating financial ratios for my class and working on knitting another hat with my loom. it's royal purple. i might actually end up making two hats
By the way Ben and Jerry's latest ice cream Stephen Colbert's an Americone Dream is the best ice cream I have tasted in a long time. It's vanilla with caramel swirls and chocolate covered waffle cone bits. OH YUM!!!! the perfect thing to eat while watching the oscars.
A-dolly is about to have baby #2 any day now and they just had a big ice/snow storm near them in Iowa. My parents looked at a bunch of houses this weekend but i really haven't talked to them --my sister did. i hope they find one while they are out there this week. the moving process really stinks.

Zombie Girl
The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. We start closing the books on monday. I took test 3 tonight and had two others last week plus three sets of homework due. Turned in my taxes. My parents fly out very early on friday morning to NC for house hunting. They are having the cabinets refinished this week, new carpet has already been installed as well as the new oven and microwave/hood. My sis and I will be doggie sitting while they are gone for the week. I plan on enjoying the big screen, the oven with a working thermometer and doing my laundry indoors instead of in the garage. I will admit that laundry here is more pleasant since it has been in the 60s for most of the week. the farmer's almanac can take it's bad weather predictions and shove it. nasty winters aren't fun in a place that is totally unprepared for it. I thought I was starting to develop SAD because i have adapted to the glaring sun down here.
I did make 4 hats last weekend. i don't even remember now if I posted about that or not. LOL. Hence, the Zombie Girl. I even forgot that today was Ash Wednesday. Don't tell my devout mother that. I still believe in the Faith but I refuse to regularly attend until the Pope accepts my people and our ways.
I have a pint of choco haagan daz in my freezer and I have been rationing it because this week at work has super sucked. March will be a better month. I did catch Boston Legal on tuesday night. YAY! James Spader is on my list.
I am super tired so I am going to go to bed now and fantasize about all the yarn and supplies I could buy if i didn't have to pay rent and taxes.

Holy Cow
So I came back from my disasterous test tonight with enough time to see Grey's Anatomy. MEREDITH MUST SURVIVE. She is my dark and twisty sister. I don't think the show works without her. and besides, hasn't Derek suffered enough on this show?
I took the afternoon off work and went to the doctor and paid a twenty dollar co-pay to find out that i'm congested and have allergies. NO KIDDING????? The sinus drainage is the culprit for my sore raw throat but I don't have an expensive ear infection so that is good. I thought that i would go to wal-mart and buy some claritin -d 24 hour because when my allergies are bad the 24 hour part helps. well stupid walmart wouldn't sell any to me because the idiot girl was working back in pharmacy and she couldn't type in my DL correctly. So I was pissed off so i went to albertson's. My DL was fine there. I know this because the last time I bought any claritin d was in freaking december. It's just reason 2500 why wal-mart sucks balls.
I started another hat while watching grey's anatomy. I am burnt out and congested so therefore I must create. I am also freezing. I must cover myself in yarn until the sunny weather comes back. warm weather and mild winters are one of the few perks of living here. if i am going to freeze my ass off i might as well go back to Iowa.
I watched the Ellen show today. Billy Blanks JR was doing cardioke which is some exercise i think i could do. it's singing and dancing in an aerobic way that isn't scary like jazzercise. I really liked Ellen's shoes today. Serious I want to tour her shoe closet and see how many different pairs of Converses that she has.

V-Day Yuck
V-Day this year was uneventful. I am working on getting an ear infection. Works sucks monkey balls. My love song for the day the MTV Unplugged version of Korn's Freak on a Leash sung acoustically with Amy Lee. I love itunes. I have discovered so many cool songs and neat versions of songs I love by just searching through their site and their playlists, etc.
i love the idea of V-day because I am a hopeless romantic at heart. But when you are single and all the old biddies at work are getting flowers and candy and leaving early to get ready for their special dinner it kind of sucks a little. I couldn't even hang out with friends because I have Entrepreneurship class on Wednesday nights. At least I have Korn.
Is it the weekend yet? I have two tests this week and work was especially brutal and I just am tired. Just really tired of all the crap. Plus we are having an abnormally cold winter for Oklahoma. It would be nice to have a few days of 40 degree weather and some sun. I am tired of freezing my butt to the seat when I leave for work in the morning and when I get out of night class. Maybe I need to sit under one of those grow bulbs like people with SAD do. Either that or I need about twenty skeins of some bulky weight wool to hide under.
Maybe I should have labeled this post V is for Venting. I am planning on crocheting a lot and working on stupid homework and eating lots of macaroni and cheese and hanging out with my little dogs.

Me Me Me Me
Well I had an exciting weekend away from the craziness.
1. I finally got the oil change
2.I found hot pink John Deere fabric!!! I about squeed in the fabric aisle. 1 yard each of 4 different kinds
3. i ate some really nasty Taco Bell
4. Bought a spanking new microwave at Target
5. Watched Sleepless in Seattle
6. Was able to see the Grey's Anatomy cliffhanger and catch up on Ugly Betty (my guilty pleasure).
7. I completed 4 hats and an afghan square...YAY FOR ME!!! Sunshine picked out this really cute yarn and I made two of the hats from it.
8. Sunshine and i successfully made spaghetti and garlic toast. No pans were tossed in the yarn.
9. I am in love with the heated seats and the remote start and the 9 speakers that are in sunshine's new Grand Prix. It's just sooo cool.
Anyways, i spent the weekend with Sunshine and it was very relaxing. This is good because today is a Maniac Monday. I really wish that I had some Starbucks and a nice barista to add extra chocolate to my hot cocoa. Unfortunately I live like 40 mins away from one.
Crap!! I almost forgot that I drank some awesome booze this weekend. Bailey's Irish Cream Mint Chocolate is my new favorite liquor and we had some Jacob's Creek Merlot circa 2005 that didn't make me completely gag. I am not really a wine drinker. I like my booze from Kentucky or Ireland or Russia.
Have a great Weekend Sunshine! Thanks again for everything, I had a really great time. I am planning The Big Trip. My Budget Travel magazine came in the mail today so that was cool.

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I like SWTC Karoke, Noro Silk Garden, Cascade 220, Brown Sheep. I don't really have a fiber that I don't like but I did receive 19 skeins of Caron Simply Soft and Red Heart, so I really don't need any more than that. I also love Rowan Summer Tweed
2. What do you use to store your needles/hooks in?
I am a hooker. I'm learning how to hand knit--I learned to machine knit and spool knit first. I have little pencil cases, cups and a hook roll that I attempt to store it all in.

Ooh, I like Sleater-Kinney too...Alternative rock is probably the genre I listen to the most. I am an Itunes fanatic, i download music all the time.

My Own Little Library
So I found out about this awesome website called LibraryThing.com where you can set up an account and catalog up to 200 of your books for free or you can have a paid account where you have unlimited books listed. I was able to catalog all of my crafty books tonight. I have 42 crafty books. These are actual books, this count excludes leaflets and magazines. I plan on eventually adding all my other books too as I have the time because I think that this is the coolest thing ever. I started with my crafty books so I can share this list with my secret pals and buddies, etc. You can add your own tags too, like you could label them sucks or great, basically whatever you want to. I labled my crafty books by catagory: crochet, knitting, quilting and cross stitch.
My user name is Shoegirl if anyone wants to peek at my list.
Anyhoo, I just had to share this. Life is crazy as usual.

Super Bowl Knit-a-thon!
Well, I crocheted squares for Warm Up America, but my Mom did actually knit on her garter stitch scarf which is now 44 inches long. She can garter stitch perfect rows like people can breathe. I hope some day I can channel some of her ways. I finished two and 1/2 squares (7 by 9), so i consider that to be an accomplishment. Da Bears lost, but Peyton one the big one finally so it evens out. If my man Brett Favre isn't playing, i don't really care who is. The best part was the halftime show. Prince rocked my face off!!!!! All of sudden, I was a little girl back in the 80s with pigtails belting out Purple Rain to my Barbie dolls lined in a row. See, back in the day before I knew I was tone deaf, i used to rock out big time, cause i grew up during the days of 80s punk, pop and arena rock. those were the days baby. Prince was even better tonight, he did James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, the Foo Fighters before closing out with his ultimate make out song Purple Rain. There was even a marching band with glow in the dark trim on their uniforms! Sunshine, I think your marching band needs some of that! That was flippin sweet! Lol, can you tell I was even watching a football game.
Yuck, I am not really looking forward to going back to work. Our department needs to sit in a circle and hold hands for awhile. Things would be a lot better if I could listen to Prince on my ipod. Which I could, but then I would want to rock out and that is a little embarassing to do in a cubicle farm with a bunch of old ladies that listen to classic country and some nerdy dudes that only listen to really bad jazz. I really like jazz but they listen to the worst jazz music ever. It is so bad that I don't even think they wouldn't even play it on NPR at 3 am.
