Bringing on the Heartache

My heart is completely and utterly shattered at the news of Corey Haim's passing.

RIP baby.

Oh, it's just the mailbox

I think it's one of those stories where you had to be there...and yes, I was sober.

That being said my top ten list of getting over a broken heart songs (in no particular order):

10. Dead Embryotic Cells - Selpultura (sometimes you need loud, hard and heavy)
9. Bust your windows - Jazmine Sullivan (what every girl wants to do)
8. Clumsy - Fergie
7. Happy - Martin Sexton
6. Oh Yeah - Chickenfoot
5. Whiskey Hangover - Godsmack (it's best not to ask, I have no reason for it)
4. Tik Tok - Kei$ha
3. Picture to Burn - Taylor Swift
2. New Shoes - Paolo Nutini
1. Only a Fool - The Black Crows (because sometimes you need to know that)

Oye with the Poodles

The hat is still sitting there, I swear I heard it laughing at me last night.

Made it past row 35 on my Hemmi... however I somehow 'effed up on row 37. No knitting lace while watching Lost, it's just not a smart move and well, that's why I knit socks.

I got nothing... oh, I just bit into my shamrock sugar cookie and it now resembles Italy. HA!

Ravelmpics - FAIL!

I failed hard, sorry team CopperBoom, I let ya down. Remind me next year not to attempt this, because life always finds a way to creep in.

Still chugging away on my hemmie. I really do like it, hopefully I can get past row 35!

I still have to reclaim the yarn from my Neverending Birthday Sweater. Love the yarn, not to fond of the pattern. Part me thinks I should just suck it up and finish it, the other part says, rip it. (I'm done with the back and 1/4 done with the front, it's just stockinette stitch...kinda boring really, my one issue)

As for the fisherman's hat, it's sitting there, on my nightstand, mocking me. I know I have to rip it, I just haven't had the heart to do it yet, still holding out hope, I guess.

Speaking of the fisherman...
my top 10 songs for a broken heart (in no particular order):

10. Where Did I Go Wrong - Martin Sexton
9. San Diego Serenade - Tom Waits
8. Not Enough - Van Halen
7. Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer - Kenny Rogers
6. If I Were a Boy - Beyonce
5. Take a Bow - Rhianna
4. Two Out of Three - Meatloaf
3. I'm Moving On - Rascal Flatts
2. How Will I Laugh Tomorrow - Suicidal Tendencies
1. Let Her Cry - Hootie and the Blowfish

Yes, baby, I've been drinkin'

I know I shouldn't come by no more, but I found myself in trouble darlin' and I had no palce else to go. I got some whiskey from a bottle, got some cocaine from a friend...
DAMN! I love Beth Hart. She's just friggin awesome.

Ok, it's little and stupid, but I gotta tell you, this Lost on Tuesdays, totally screwing with me, I wake up ever Wednesday thinking it's Thursday.

Curious if anyone has a knit a hemmie with Noro Kureyon yarn, I bet that would be pretty. Maybe my second one I'll try it with that, if I ever get past row 37 on the first that is!!!

The 2 inch bottom of Todd's cobblestone is almost done!! 4 episodes of 24 and that's all I got. Jack would totally mock me and kick my ass for that!

My heart is still tender after this latest fiasco with the fisherman. I really wanted to knit him a pair of socks and now I can't and that saddens me. Also, never got to finish and give him his hat. So many knits that will never be.

Confession part 2

I've always wanted to be blond. I get highlights every summer, and that's as blond as I get.
Far too much effort, what with the touch ups every 6 weeks and so forth, and I don't think I'd really look good as a blond, and yet knowing this doesn't deminish the desire to be blond. I blame Kat VonD, who totally rocked being blond. Who knows, maybe someday, I'll go blond, even if just for a little while, see if they really do have more fun. ;)

I have learned that forced heat is the work of the devil and wreaks havoc on my sinuses.

Ravelmpics news: I have to rip back 4 rows, somehow i 'effed up before row 39 and ended up with 2 extra stitches, or i'm being incredibly dumb when it comes to the instructions of row 39. So, I'll rip back to row 36 (it has a stitch count) and go from there, paying extra attention to the pattern repeats. I am loving my pretty, pretty hemi tho.

24 KAL: Ya, I need to get to the body soon, am losing interest in this knit 1 round, purl 1 round crap.

Fisherman's hat: still chugging along, I knit a little on it before I go to bed each night. Am hoping it'll be done by this weekend. doesn't really matter, hat is getting frogged, as we are no longer a couple, thanks me and my stupid drunkin message.

Sock #2: I do not have SSS, I mearly have too much on my plate right now. Once the hemi is done, I will go back to my pretty in pink & purple sock.

Do Be Do Be Do...

Chugging along on my fisherman's hat, sadly, all progress has halted because of the silly Ravelmpics. They are not silly, I am silly for thinking I could do 3 good size projects at once. WTF kind of crack was I smoking that day?!?

Depending on how the hat goes over with my fisherman, he may or may not be the recipient of a pair of warm woolly fishing socks. We shall see shan't we?

I do have to say, so far, I am loving my Hemie. On pattern round 30 or so...the stitch counter knows for sure.

My little family is going to get bigger. My fabulous brother Todd is engaged! His soon to be bride Sharon is equally fabulous as are her 3 kids. I'm so happy they will be a part of our family.

I have decided to teach myself magic loop, mostly so I can knit at one the fly fisherman's gigs and not worry about dropping a needle. Will keep you updated on that.

Sad news, Capt. Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie (Deadliest Catch) passed away on Feb. 9th after he suffered a stroke on Jan. 29th. In all honesty, he was my favorite Capt. on the show, the reason I watched it, my heart goes out to his family. He will be missed by all.
