I Am Still Here

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, it's been almost a week I think. Things have been going on, nuff said. I haven't been knitting at all lately. Not even to finish up my first Sweet Mary Jane, and I have yet to take a picture of it. I think I am gonna pick it up tonight and see if I can't figure out how the heck to crochet the strap on it. Wish me luck. Well.....take care, happy knitting! Thank you, that is all.

4 Wheelin!

Hey All! I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Mine sucked! We're not gonna get into that! But, it ended alright! We (me, my hubby, and our kids) went out to my Uncle Danny's house for my cousin Shannon's (Dakota's mom) son's (Dolton) birthday party. Did ya get all that!?! Anyway, Uncle Danny has a NICE piece of land with a pool and plenty of room to run around. The kids had an absolute blast playing with all the other kids, swimming, and all the other birthday party kinda fun.

Plus, Shannon and her husband Matt have gotten their boys into riding ATVs. So a lot of their friends brought their ATVs and Uncle Danny had one as well. So Dave got to ride around on Matt's. He gave the kids rides and then it was my turn. OMG! Considering this was my first time on one of those things you would think that Dave would go gentle on me. YEAH RIGHT! Have gave me a ride on a small track near the house. Later he took me out on the wooded trails! Oi! It was so scarey and fun at the same time. And yes, I hurt today! I also managed to burn myself on the hot muffler on Matt's ATV. Later we took our Misty and Arliss' (my other cousin and her soon to be husband) ATV. That thing was even fast than Matt's! While I'm screaming and hanging on for dear life Dave is about as happy as a pig in mud! I love that goofy smile he gets when he's doing something he loves. Oh, and he PROMISED me he would pop any wheelies while riding me around......HE LIED!!!!

Thank you, that is all!

Boredom!

Hey All! Long time no talk! Sorry about that. Well despite being busy with knitting, reading, work, and family.....I am currently BORED! Which actually makes NO sense! Anyway, "what have I been up to" you ask? I've finished knitting one Sweet Mary Jane slipper. Now I just need to crochet the finishing touches! It's an absolutely AWESOME pattern and very fun to do! It boggles my mind how people, Erin, come up with stuff like that! Crazy! I already have 2 family members hinting around for a pair! LOL I'll post pics tomorrow if I can!

I've also been on a reading binge. It started out with Jane Austen's classics Pride & Prejudice, Emma, and Sense & Sensibility and has now taken a completely opposite turn to......smutty romance novels! I've read 1 or 2 in the past. Part of me keeps rolling my eyes thinking "Why oh WHY are you reading this???" and the other part of me says "Oh! Turn the page, I wonder what happens next ;)"!!! I just finished a great book called The Perfect Wife by Lynsay Sands. I really enjoyed it! It was so funny, I was actually laughing out loud! It was also very sexy *teehee* with a dash of mystery in it! It was a short read, I finished it in one day but I really thought it was a fun book! I am currently reading Must Be Magic by Patricia Rice. It's got a better story than most romance novels but it's not just a romance novel. It's got a "witchy" flavor to it! Which is fun!

Now, if you have any favorite smutty books you don't want to admit to reading, LOL, let me know! Lesa has lent me a handful of books, knitting fiction and romance, so I have a bit to keep me occupied. But when a reading binge hits me I MUST read read, READ!!!

Happy Knitting! Thank you, that is all.

An Afternoon OUT!

Hey People! I just had a lovely afternoon out! Lesa picked me up this morning and presented me with a bag full of books to keep me quite busy for a while. And she gave me a little bag filled with some knitting odds and ends, which was so nice! We headed over to Sheeps. Lesa bought lots of lovely yarn with some of her birthday spoils! I just walked around and sniffed everything! I fell in love with some sock yarn and THEN noticed it was $20 a hank. I did not purchase anything!!! Can you believe that! I know!

Next we headed over the Barnes & Noble! Lesa showed me how to cast on for Erin's Sweet Mary Janes. I've got a good start on them, thank you Lesa! She also brought a lot of her WIPs for me to oogle at! I really like the pie shawl she's doing but I'm gonna start the Mimosa Wrap from "Big Girl Knits" soon....sometime soon! Anyway, we just had a great time sitting and knitting! I finished the whole afternoon off by buying yet another book! It's "The Perfect Wife" by Lynsay Sands. I've only read the little story she did for "Dates from Hell" but I rather liked it so we'll see if I've found another new favorite! Well, I think I'll go read or knit....still working on a way to do both at the same time! ;)

Happy Knitting! Thank you, that is all!
