Happy Valentine's Day!

So VD is tomorrow and most people would be dreading it but for some sicko reason it is one of my favorite holidays. I have auditing class tomorrow but maybe it will be short or he will cancel it. Once I get home, I am going to eat Cheerios and watch the movie Across the Universe. For the record, Across the Universe, When I'm 64 and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds are my all-time favorite Beatles songs.

Now that I am hooked on the Crystal Light Citrus Splash flavor packets, I have only had two Mountain Dews this week. folks, that is almost unheard of, however i will state for the record that this kind of Crystal Light does have a lot of caffeine in it, so that is why I am still happy and not experiencing caffeine withdrawal shakes right now. I am not trying to quit pop on purpose but my sister is quitting pop and hasn't had any since last Wednesday so I am trying to be supportive and not drink a lot of it around her cause i figure it is probably good if i can cut back a little.

The bag I am crocheting out of plarn for the Going Green swap on Ravelry is coming along awesome. I am close to half-way done, so I think I deserve an A + for that. However, I get an F minus in sock knitting. I haven't done any actual hand knitting in quite awhile and then I got this crazy idea to learn how to knit socks. I watched videoclips and read online tutorials and a couple of books and I attempted to cast on and somehow in the midst of it all, I ended up with some kind of yarn mess and possibly forgot how to knit even. I honestly don't know what happened. It was so bad, I frogged it and stuck all the stuff in a big ziploc bag and hid it under my bed. :( I know that at some point I will be able to knit fantastic, glorious socks, however, I think I need some remedial knitting lessons. It was bad. Anyways, I gave up and went back to crocheting the plastic bag. For some reason, crochet comes effortlessly to me and I really don't know why.

Anyways, I hope everyone has an awesome Valentine's Day tomorrow, full of lots of yarn, love and mudslides in no particular order.
