Welcome to Spring/Summer in Oklahoma. We are in the midst of another severe thunderstorm and earlier we were under a tornado watch. My only problem with this weather is that I don't like hail because it can turn your car into cottage cheese and I have to park outside now. Knock on wood no hail yet. Sunshine, if you are reading this please stop doing your twister dance and send me a smoke signal instead.
On the plus side, I am moving full steam ahead on this afghan. I would really like to be able to put the border on this weekend and so I can finish it and ship it off to A-dolly in time for her birthday. I had to dust off my old school heavy metal cds and load them onto my ipod in preparation for this task. Yes, I love heavy metal and hard rock, I have a secret passion for 70s glam rock too. LOL...Anyways, the skein I am currently using is half empty. I have one more skein left and then I will have used up all the yarn accumulated for this project and it will be finished. Then I will do two to three rows of single crochet around the edge as a border using the colors in the variegated yarn. It will be cool. I can't believe I'm going to be finishing such a huge project. It's so big I have to take it to the UPS Store to have them professionally mail it. It's my first afghan so I want it to arrive in Iowa in one piece and I don't have any boxes big enough here to mail it.
I am actually in a pretty good mood today and I'm not sure why. I was thinking a lot this weekend about life in general. I'm a little lonely because I miss my family and my close friends but it's not a permanent thing. I would be more concerned if I didn't miss them. I'm trying to invent new forms of entertainment since my school and workload has now dropped now to normal levels. I went back to drinking water this weekend. I had a minor relapse during finals/closing week but I still drank way less Mountain Dew and other pop then I normally do. I have decided that Evian is my favorite bottled water cause it has a cool clean aftertaste. I have tried probably 15 different kinds in the last two weeks. It's on the expensive side, but if it makes me healthier and keeps me off the pop then I think it's worth it. The little bottled water drink mixes taste better with it too. i'm not really experiencing caffiene withdrawal which is great. I'm not cutting it completely out, I'm just turning it into a treat instead of a main course.
