Hot Crochet

123 rows!!! Yay for me!!! I don't know how I added on so many considering how big and wide it is and it's like a bazillion degrees in the house. I am not putting a huge border on it. I am doing two rows of single crochet and that is it because it is as wide as the top of my double wide futon without a border. I made a chart for the Slouchy Purse pattern. I have problems counting and remembering what row I was on, so I write out what I am supposed to do on every single row and then i can check off the row upon completion. This was the system I developed for the Ocean Waves purse and it worked very well. Luckily there are only 35 rows total. After making this afghan, this purse is going to be a piece of cake. My goal is to have most of it done before I leave for SC so that I can have my mother the craft goddess do the piecing it together and making it look wonderful part.

My sister that weighs two pounds turned on the heater the other day when it dropped into the 40s at night and forgot to turn it off. I didn't realize what she did until it warmed up this weekend and it was ridiculously hot even with the ceiling fans. I go over to the thermostat and it's 85!!! She is having a bunch of ditzy moments this weekend. She lost the keys in wal mart and she drove so i didn't have my keys with me so if she hadn't been able to go back in and find them we would've been locked out of house and home.

I will be so relieved when finals/closing week is over. I hate studying for tests.Closing week will be interesting because our boss has been gone for 1/2 the month and our G/L's last day is Friday. I am trying to be positive but I am too much of a realist.

I am excited because I did catch up on Ugly Betty this weekend. I wish Henry the Accountant was my boyfriend. If i were to pick a dream guy that would be it. He wore an argyle sweater vest--a man after my own heart...My issue of W came in the mail and America Ferrera was on the cover. Her photos were beautiful, they were black and white and she was done up kind of like an old Hollywood starlet. You go girl!!!
