Hostal Take Over

So, there's a spider in the bathroom. A big one. And he's hairy. I think it's a baby tarantula or the spider who played Aragog in Harry Potter. Either way I don't like him, he's creepy, and mean. Mean! you say? Yes I say, mean, just yesterday I caught him laughing at me, mocking me with his creepiness. I suggested to my sweetie that we should just give him the bathroom, I mean, who am I kidding, showers are overrated, I can bathe in the kitchen sink...or better yet, we should move, give him the whole house. Sweetie laughed, he's in cohoots with the spider.

In other news, I finished my mothers plain jane tow up socks and I even did Jeny's super stretchy bind off. WOO!!! Have cast on for sock # 2 for Miss Kathy B. and a pair of fancy socks for me. =)

We have a new microwave! No more burnt popcorn for yours truely!
It's not exactly new, it's my old one (and by old I mean made in the past 10 years) My sweeties crapped the bed on Thursday. The microwave, although treated us well and lasted a long time, I'm pretty sure was one of the original mass produced microwaves. Man alive that thing was old.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do....

Truer words have never been spoken.
I have decided to break up with my 3 best girlfriends or at least take a break for an undecided amount of time away from them. It's sad, but they drain me emotionally, I have to psych myself up to go out with them, and even then I look for an excuse to bail on them at the last minute. N I've known since I was 5, M & A since I was about 15 or so. This is going to be hard, but I know it has to be done, and that it should have been done a long time ago. Now I just need the courage to go forth with it.
Just as an example: It was my idea to get divorced, I told the girls, and we had dinner and chatted a bit about it. However after that, if I was feeling down about it and I expressed sadness to them, I would get this response - 'but it was your idea' - how foolish of me not to realize that because it was my idea that I wasn't allowed to be sad.

Ok.

I don't understand something, cowls...I just don't get it, why not use a scarf? I confuddled.

After some time and lots of talking my sweetie & I are getting back together, I will hopefully be back home by the 19th. =)

My hemmi is in a time out. It is being a naughtly little knit. My 20 hour '24' sweater however I have made some progress on however I doubt I'll be done with it when the show ends.

I am at the heel on my 2nd pretty in pink and purple sock and that pleases me. Next sock will be for my sweetie, we picked out a lovely shade of grey in DiC Smooshy for his sock. I also got a lovely patteren for a scarf for the future MiL.

Tooralooraloora!

I hate it when I do stupid things, like buy 3 skeins of Noro for a specific project and then not remember what that project was. GAH!

Still haven't frogged that fucking ass-hats' hat. Am at the crowning portion of it, will just suck it up finish it and then send it off on it's merry little way and be done with it. GAAH!

I went on a yarn crawl on Saturday, which was fun. At A Yarn Over Marblehead, I got 3 skeins of Noro for my mystery to me project-a scarf maybe?, 2 skeins of Casscade for Bella mittens for me, a mini sock blocker key chain complete with tiny ball of yarn to knit it a sock. Next to Butterfly Yarns, where 2 skeins of sock yarn for a pair knee lenth socky poo's, and 2 skeins of Dream in Color Classy for a Saroyon came home with me as well as a knit happy sheepy mug.

I also went to the lovely bead store next door to Butterfly yarns and learned how to make stitch markers. =D

After that I went to a friends house to eat, drink and watch Boondock Saints...when Irish eyes are smilin....
