...the Zombie invasion?... No not that, something far more frightening...Graduation season! Today was officially my last day in the bakery for the season and as much as I wanted it to be over at times I know I will miss it when I go back into work on Monday. No more screaming fast pace and feeling like I have been hit by a Mack truck to end the day. It was a nice change of pace for me and I really do like working in the bakery I find it to be a lot of fun despite all the stress from multiple angles that crop up, especially at this time of the year.

Trying to get myself motivated to work on this room of mine and the explosion that has seem to have happened with my lack of clean up due to wanting to relax as soon as I get home from work. I started cleaning off my 'computer desk' last night which I think is a good honest start.

I need to figure out which knitting project to start next now that all my class projects are out of the way. Also need to stop at the store and pick up some graph paper so that I can start working on pattern ideas that I have.

Went to the ribs party tonight and all I can say is MMMM ribs! Was good eats and good conversation.

I do I do! I do feel accomplished I have now finished all of the knit projects that I have taken classes for! Yay! I really like how my beaded neckpiece came out and I will most definitely be wearing it to work once I get out of the bakery at the end of this week!

Well yesterday was a good and very full day! I got together with my friend El and we did all sorts of girly bondy things, including the bonding in pain, meaning I got a facial, which included eyebrow and lip line waxing. I have to say eyebrows are not that bad and the upper lip well that doesn't hurt quite as much the second time around. I also had a nice exfolating facial scrub and a mint julip mask, smells fantastic but as El's husband put it when he walked through the door "Whoa Shrek," since well I was very green!

I also have a new hair cut and a dye job which I likes quite a bit! Most of the peeps who have seen it at work really like it.

On a side note to my geeky fandomness, I got Jelly Babies yesterday! Wonderfully sweet and yummy gummies! *Wanders off to find the Doctor and wonders if she'll have to hide them from the Master*

Oh as for today I got another knitting book! It looks fabulous! I haven't had time to look through it in detail but it will allow me to actually knit my own fantasy kingdom if I truly wanted to!

Yesterday I took a class with fuzziekit and we learned how to make socks! The mutant sock class taught by Marsha at Threadbender is fantastic! If your interested in knowing how to knit socks and can drop into Threadbender then do so! Now I have this cute little sock that looks kind of like an elf booty (since my toe is very pointy) to show around to people. I'm going to be bringing it into work tomorrow to show one of my co-workers. We were also told that we were the fastest class that she has taught. I got to learn all sorts of new things, like heels and toes and the Kitchener stitch which is quite an interesting finishing stitch since it is almost literally knitting with a needle.

I also got a new knitting book that has me excited even though I can only knit about three projects out of it it is called Amigurumi Knits, its got some awesome critters in it. I think I am going to try the jellyfish first!

Well went and saw Star Trek for the second time last night, saw it in the IMAX which I thought was well worth the price of the tickets. Good movie seen on a 5 story screen. So here is my little personal review of the movie.

I thought the opening sequence of the movie was well done it showed elements of sci-fi which we all have seen, ie sound in space, as well as, the truthful element of when you scream in space does anyone hear you...well no Jim they do not. Which I thought was a nice touch, it is not something that is seen that often. I found the opening sequence before the title was quite emotional. Who sniffled? Raise your hand I did. But I can be an emotional sap at movies I can freely admit that.

Though I must admit I am not a big fan of the title sequence itself, it felt cumbersome, bulky and well a little slow.

I really enjoyed the way the story unfolded and how it started out from two different perspectives given the characters of Kirk and Spock and their great personality differences created a nice introduction. I found the pacing of the movie itself to be well done. Even though not every character was given a full chance to bloom with a rounded bit of development I believe the core essences of each character resided there.

I found acting was spectacular especially the performances by Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban. I think that their portrayal of Spock and Bones was pretty spot on accurate. I don't think that any of the actors did a poor job, in some ways I wish that Simon Pegg could have had a bit more screen time as Scotty.

( Beam me up )

I thought the special effects were beautifully done and I thought the way that the technology was handled was a very nice nod and tip of the hat to the original series without feeling that it was overtly embellished or under done. There was a nice flavor, even down to those tacky gold shirts.

I shall finish this little blurb up with the fact that I loved the score to this film, so much so that I actually went out and bought it today. Well there is my minor review it could more then likely be longer and more in depth and maybe I will add to it maybe I won't.

I also bought the Motion Picture trilogy containing Wrath of Khan, (yes we all know Khaaaaaaaannnnnnn!) Search for Spock, and Voyage Home, complete binge buy there yes I know. There is two of my favorite Trek movies in one box set...since I am crushed the only way I could find the original six movies in a box set at the moment is on Blue Ray. Oh and I also bought a Nickleback cd which is most excellent as well.

Well I went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine again today because I took my mother to see it as the rest of her Mother's Day gift. Kind of a funny story really since well mom was going to pay for the tickets for the movie because I got her so much for mother's day anyway and well she bumped into someone she knew and I snuck off to pay for tickets and wouldn't let her do it. Save for the fact that she bought a pop for us to share since well drinking pop in theater usually equals bad for me. At least if I drink a full pop.

Well I can say that I still like the Wolverine movie save for a few tiny little gripes. Which I will graciously put behind a cut.

( All clawed up )

No D&D tonight due to one member was off camping with family so bummer on that but it is a good thing that we didn't play because having all of us there was pretty crucial.

Well today has been a busy day with family, out and about for mother's day went up to my Aunt's house about an hour to an hour and a half north of here. It was nice to see whole family since I don't get to see my Aunt Barb that often or my Aunt Renae and her husband that often for that matter. Well got home and was talking with my roomie fuzziekit and made an off hand comment on wanting to go to Burger King and see about the Star Trek collectors glasses now that I have seen the movie. She thought it was a great idea because she was hungry so this is how a simple trip to BK turned into the Search for Spock, I kid you not.

Well we reach BK to and fuzziekit orders a meal and she picks up one glass since well they only have two of the four Uhura and Nero. So we decide to swing by another location where I pick up three of the four glasses and guess what...its everyone but Spock. Well I look over at fuzziekit and say "Well it looks like we're on the search for Spock." Only to realized after the fact at what I said as she blinked at me and started to laugh. Well we leave the second BK and reach the third destination, have to deal with a snarky manager that pretty much gave us the brush off and me wanting so shove a shoe where the sun don't shine. Well we decided to swing by one more BK and end up talking to a lovely manager named Linda that was most helpful and even looked to see if a different BK that we had thought about going to was on there list to call..sadly it was not because it wasn't part of the same franchise. So we left with the note that there was a shipment coming in on Tuesday and more glasses might be coming in then. Well at this point it has become a quest. So we voyage home Spockless and I pull out the phone book and call our final destination. I talk to a lovely manager named Nancy, who looked through their supply of glasses to see if they still had Spock. Low and behold they did. So I asked if there was a way that they could hold two glasses for me since I wanted one and of course fuzziekit wanted one, doubly so since not only did it have young Spock pictured on it but the Elder Spock as well. Leonard Nimoy for the win! So we fly out of the house since well fuzziekit had to go to work and wanted to ride with.

So let's tally this up the Trek way so to speak.

Pearl St BK - We Motion Pictured - Bought Uhura
Alpine BK - We faced the Wrath of Khan - Bought Kirk, Uhura, Nero
Comstock Park BK - We Searched for Spock
Plainfield BK - We Voyaged Home
Allendale BK - We hit the Final Frontier -Bought Spock x2, Kirk, Nero

*Twitch* To think we found Spock at the fifth location...I severely dislike Star Trek V...

I more then likely will post up a little review of the new Star Trek after seeing it a second time with fuzziekit and hopefully nekopirate on Friday.

Well I finally have gotten off my duff to at least start coloring some artwork that I have been meaning to do for a while and I got one piece done. It is uploaded on my deviantArt account now the problem is I need to figure out what I want to work on next and I haven't seem to be able to figure that out. So I thought I would post it here to see what others thought.

Well going through things I figured I would add a few 'categories' of work that needs to be done so to speak. Follow the bouncing links to see what I mean.

( Color Me! )

These images are inked and in obvious need of some color.

( Finish or Ink! )

These are those images that either need to be inked or finished in some fashion so they can be inked.

Feel free to let me know which one(s)you'd like to see worked on, kind of like mixing and matching *grins*

Well today I went in for Oral Surgery to have my wisdom teeth extracted before they decided to try and fall out of my head. Since well I lost nearly a quart of one already.

Well mom takes me to the dentist since I won't be able to drive after the surgery and we get there a bit early, I get all signed in and we get taken back to the operating room after I have another full mouth x-ray.

We get told about how it would have been better if I would have had them out sooner blah blah blah, my mom got a good "I told you so moment" so on and so forth. Once the informative lecture is over mom gets to leave so that the Oral Surgeon and his two assistants can get started because guess what I decided to be knocked the frack out.

Now it took a few moments before the Doc could find a vein in my hand due to not being able to really eat or drink 8 hours prior to surgery and while he found the vein I got to have the lovely O2, which smells funky to me, pure oxygen just smells odd but I suppose it could have been the tubing. Well a vein is found which I don't watch that being put it, creeps me out, but once it was in I couldn't feel it save for when they were trying to clear the excess blood away so they could sticker in place. Needle poking vein walls not so comforting. Well I get all set up with this large coal colored rubber brick in my mouth and the Doc injects half a syringe of stuff to help make me relax and well I was down for the count!

Okay here's were the interesting parts of the story come in. I cannot remember leaving the Dentist Office and getting into the car. I was told that I had one arm drapped around my mom's shoulders and the doctor on the other side helping me walk. Seriously no clue. I do remember at one point telling my mom that I was seeing double. But that was about it, so I apparently freaked my mom out since I couldn't really talk well with huge gobs of gauze in my mouth that she would repeat words to me. Here's how it goes. Apparently I said a string of three words, one word being Teeth, which my mom repeated to me and I responded in a sing song voice of "Yess" then not long after that I just passed out more then likely in mid sentence. Mom's first thought was "I wish your dad was here" since apparently she had to call my name a few times go get me to respond that same sing song way.

When I got home, I don't remember my dad helping me out of the car but I do remember crawling into bed, which my mom said was more of falling then crawling. I do remember pulling the blanket I had just laid on top of over me one half at a time and I was dead to the world for almost 2 hours. I was also told that my parents Akita Boomer was really worried about me and wanted to see me and mom had to try and keep him off the bed till they locked him and all the other dogs out of the room.

When I got up my balance was shot, and consequently still is a bit. So I wobbled and shuffled a round my parents house till I ate and they brought me home.

Unfortunately my mom had another adventure just trying to get my prescriptions filled since apparently I didn't have my insurance card for my health care in my wallet. So she went out to Costco, to find out that the the doctor didn't sign the prescription so she had to go back out to the dentist office only to find out that he decided to change the prescription and call it in for her. So something that should have been a 30-45 minute process was closer to 2-2 and 1/2 hours. Poor mom, she had already had a hard time that morning due to lovely construction being EVERYWHERE I swear!

Right now I know that soft foods are my friends, mashed potatoes has been a big hit for me along with eggs, asparagus because it can be cooked down into mush! Tomorrow should be better in some ways because at least I will be able to use a salt rinse though I'm still not really allowed to use straws or spit heavily.

Well I must say that knitting is been a blast for me and my latest class was awesome! I have learned how to combine beads and knitting to create a Beaded Neckpiece. The pattern is written by Juliane Nollan Anderson, who owns Threadbender. I must say I learned a lot, a new edging technique, a new seeming technique plus the addition of beads on the fiber. Its a great class that I would recommend any knitter to take. Julie also suggested to go to the lecture by Kaffe Fassett hosted at Threadbender on the 3rd of May. I think I will try and go to it if I can. Have to see how my schedule is looking but it sounds interesting. She told me that he is a very inspirational speaker which makes me want to go.

I also ended up getting the bottom edge finished on my Vest of Many Colors and I really like it now that it is done. On to the collar that will take me much time to complete since there are so many freaking stitches! On the other hand it gives me much more practice with Moss/Seed stitch which I really like along with more work with the Addi Turbo. *drool* Such an awesome circular needle. I will be purchasing one of my very own soon so I can eventually return Mary Kay's to her.

I also finished my fingerless gloves today. YAY! Once class project finally finished. I need to take pictures and add them to my Ralvery account.

Well today was one of those days where I hated being at work and I did try to get out of work early but to no avail. That is alright in the end though I honestly don't mind the time and a half that I get for working Sundays. What I do despise from the bottom of my heart is the rude members that we have on Sundays. Let's see here we have the church crowd which one would think should be the tolerant group that comes in....but oh know they tend to be the vilest, crabbiest members that walk through the door. Rude and inconsiderate, many times argumentative over the strangest things. I don't know how many times I have had people rip things out of my hands while I'm trying to hand things back to them. Many that sneer down at employees because we work on Sundays instead of going to church. The list goes on and on. I seriously wanted to slap a few members today.

On a positive note my Vest of Many Colors, a class that I have been taking at the local yarn shop Threadbender, is coming along very well I got to drop into the shop to talk to my instructor Mary Kay and I learned how to seem the shoulders together. I also learned a new stitch today! That and I got a wonderful complement from Mary Kay, she told me today that I was her best student between both of the classes that she held. Which made me feel good today.

Well I have a lot to say here today so please bare with me here. Many of you know that I went on vacation and many more of you know I fed my addiction of the wonderful world of Doctor Who. Let me just say that I had a cracking good time! I shall be posting picture later after I have had time to download them all and color correct those that might need it! Okay on with the show...er journal...

Friday the 13th: (ooo scary! NOT! It was a lovely day to fly)

I fly out after having about an hour and a half of sleep. Apparently I am a suffer of pre-flight anxiety. So I fly merrily away on a jet plane and land in sunny yet a bit chilly Los Angeles California. I get off the plane, have to ask directions to the shuttle that will take me and my heavy luggage to the Marriott hotel not only where I am staying but where Gallifrey One is going to be happening. I meet three other Whovians on the shuttle and become friends with one gent by the name of Don, who is from Vegas. Nice guy we had a lot of good laughs. I got off the plane mind you around 11am, made it to the hotel by about 20 to 12 or so and guess what no room ready. So I stow my luggage with one of the bell hops. I hit the dealers room and start scoping out the goods and decided after a short bit carrying around my carry on is just way to much work and drop that off and poke around the event. So Don and I run around the event till we bump into his friend Susan, she too was very nice and soon it was the three of us running around like fools. Getting things signed, in and out of panels, meeting people so on and so forth. I finally did get a room right around the actual check in time and low and behold nearly in the nose bleed section of the hotel on the 12th floor, but I was right off the elevator so that helped in some ways. I spent half of the day bumping into random knitters from Ravelry as well. Oh and before I forget I taught myself how to knit on double pointed needles on the plane! Oh and I must say the Dalek costume kicked some major Arse!It was a good day, I crashed out 'early' since well the three hour time difference on top of having next to no sleep killed me, I only went to bed at 12 am aka 3am at home.

Saturday the 14th:

Well I should have known got to bed early get up at the crack of dawn..and I did, I was up at 7am so I took the time to clean up and knit a little before wandering downstairs. I bought a great deal of audio books and dramas on day two of my Whovian journey. Man was Saturday packed! Full of panels to enjoy, pictures, a chance to talk to Phil Collinson (unfortunately for only about 5 minutes) more pictures, a meeting of fellow knitters, in which we all sat in front of the TARDIS to knit in one of the pass through 'hallways' at the event. Lots of fun, and the Masquerade was amazing and I really want to purchase the CD of Toby Hadoke's "Moths ate my Doctor Who Scarf" The man is hilarious! I had planned on going to bed early but that didn't happen I ended up wandering around the hotel till the wee hours of the morning, after getting dinner at 12am at the bar and talking with many interesting people there I chatted with even more people after telling others I was going to go to bed on several occasions.

Sunday the 15th:

Again pre-flight anxiety I get oh maybe 2 to 2 and 1/2 hours of sleep before having to get up, return my key and get to the airport. Since I was to go visit friends who lived about an hour south of San Fransisco for a few days. Man am I glad that I printed my boarding passes at the Marriott because LAX is INSANE. My hour plus wait to get to check in was shortened to about 20 minutes because I had my boarding passes already, yet the lines there were insane as well because of people cutting in line, not enough employees to handle the mass of people so others having to wait and worry about missing flights ect. Well I survived the mass there only to find out that my flight that had been on time when I checked out of the hotel is now delayed a hour and a half. I thought "no big deal I'll call my friends and let them know so they don't show up and wonder why I'm not there." So I call and gab at them a moment or two and sit and knit to try and pass the time. Well...the storm that kicked up in San Fran. Delayed my flight not just an hour and a half but about 3 so by the time that I was supposed to arrive at SFO I was 4 hours late arriving around 3 instead of just after 11. Didn't even hit the rain till the final decent but the winds really threw the plane around strangely for a short while. But still I arrived in one piece and starving. So needless to say not only did I eat a foot long sub but dinner on top of that about 2 hours later. Hung out with friends the rest of the night.

Monday the 16th:

Caught up on some sleep and putz around at M & L's house till I felt adventurous enough to wander out. I was left a key so I pack up my camera and wallet and head out the door, and through the side gate with a map and umbrella because well its still raining. Okay I'm in a new town thousands of miles away and what do I do...get myself lost...more then once, yet I did manage to find my way into Danville and go shopping after a much needed stop at Starbucks for multiple reasons! So I wander about town and find this interesting little shop called Gardenseed and pick up ...wait for it.... Pink Hot Chocolate...(I am not kidding when I say Pink either! It is bright baby pink.) Which I bought a can for myself and a can for nekopirate and a can of peppermint truffle hot chocolate for my roomie fuzziekit. I make it back to M & L's and well good thing that L's home when I get there since I was too dang short to reach the latch to get back into the gate once I got there! So I was let in after L got a good chuckled since well she's over 6 foot tall but I love her anyway. She showed me how to work the key pad for the garage in case I left again. I Wanted to go to the candy store but it wasn't open till 12:30 on Mondays.

Tuesday the 17th:

The last big day of my vacation I am embolden and decided to take the train into San Fransisco so that I can ride the Cable Cars (not trollies as I was reminded several times from L) down to Fisherman's Wharf. Well again it is a rainy day but that doesn't stop me except for earlier in the morning since there had been some bad storms in San Fran. Well I take the long ride to Fisherman's Wharf and the amount of hills that I went up and down made be extremely glad that I did not rent a car! Terrifying! Well I get down to the Wharf and wander around a little before I decided I want to go to Alcatraz. Which is quite a walk...I had to pass Pier 39 and head all the way down to Pier 33. The couple mile walk was very worth it in the end. I purchased my tickets to Alcatraz and was on my merry way about 10 minutes after I arrived on the pier. The audio tour was absolutely amazing! And I found out w hat it was like to be shut in solitary confinement inside the d-block of Alcatraz I have the pictures to show it (Again which I will be posting later) Well unfortunately the ferry which is suppose to come to and fro from Alcatraz to the main land every 20-30 minutes takes a nice little break after 2. I missed the 2:20 ferry back to the main land and was "Stuck" on Alcatraz till 3:40 not quite what I had planned on doing so I didn't end up getting to do everything that I wanted to in San Fransisco... I had to call L and let her know I was going to be coming back late. Once I got back to main land I stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe there and bought a pin (I'm a HR pin collector) before I walked ALLLL the way back down to where I had to catch the Cable Car. About half way back to the train station M called to make sure that I was still alive and on my way back to the train station, I told him I was "Stuck" on a slow cable car so we made a plan on when I needed to call him so that he could pick me up. It all worked out in the end ^^

Wednesday the 18th:

Not to eventful since I left the rainy land of California, in which the weather broke and it was a beautiful day. My ride back to the San Fran airport was lovely and I got to go across the Golden Gate Bridge...though guess what I was late into the Airport back home and well fuzziekit Wondered what in the heck was going on since the monitor never said that the plane I was on was arriving late event though we were a half hour late getting in. Ah well I arrived safe and sound a bit late but in one piece.

As for today and tomorrow they are days for me to just relax! But there is the somewhat brief breakdown of my lovely, fantastic trip to the land of California!

Well I'm finally all packed and ready to go, now its down to the final night before I head off to the airport and fly away to California. Today has been quite busy and eventful! Had a near panic attack given the fact that one of my flights was canceled today but there is good news in this as well. I ended up getting a slightly larger layover in Chicago but ended up getting a straight flight to LA instead of having to go to San Fransisco and down to LA. I end up getting a flight that arrives over an hour earlier then what the original flight would have been.

Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight but I doubt I will get too much sleep. Ah well there will be time to sleep on the plane. See everyone in about a week!

Okay *mops up the dust around the journal* Life has been busy and I probably haven't taken the time to post a I should as of late. So yes I am alive, I am beat...feeling like I have been hit by a truck due to lack of sleep. Have had seriously crazy dreams with some really neat ideas crawling out of it.

Big sentient doberman pincher dogs that have been genetically engineered into their own specific specie, taken for granted as stupid dogs since most of the time they look like a normal dog, but in reality they have three heads and have the ability to wear some really kick arse battle suits. Among other things that have traipsed around in my head.

I am wondering if my lack of sleep is due to the fact that I am going to California at the end of the week, I am leaving on Friday the 13th and returning Wednesday the 18th. I am so excited LA here I come for a Doctor Who convention then off to visit friends south of San Fransisco. I might go tour Alcatraz!

Knitting projects are coming along well, I have two nearly done to set aside for some sellage, try to make a little bit of extra green. Oh and I have joined Ravelry! I am loving it so far! I must give kigutsu big big hugs for introducing me to the site!

Well one knitted Christmas present down and two to go! I think I'm on a roll! Well maybe...Time for me to really buckle down and knit my fingers off, I can do it I have a goal! Now all I have to do is meet it which I think I can.

Hope everyone had a good turkey day! I know I did and a wondrous day of not working on BLACK FRIDAY *dance* first time since I started working that I didn't have to work black friday and it was nice!

Well today was a busy day trying to get laundry done, which I accomplished one load. Ended up moving a bunch of furniture around with my roomie fuzziekit which was an interesting project since one was a hutch that was moved into the kitchen and in the process forced us to re-arrange half of the kitchen but I believe that is for the better. Now we:

1. Have a place to display nice mugs and tea
2. Have a place to store all of our glass baking dishes and the electric wok (which I inherited from my grandparents.)
3. Due to re-arranging have a place for the kitchen-aid mixer, hand mixer and drinks mixer
4. Can actually open a cupboard and not feel like the tupperware is going to explode out and eat either of us.
5. Cleared of an entire counter space to use as counter space.
6. Have all of the tea and coffee makers/supplies in the same relative area of the kitchen.

Which was a good feeling accomplishment! We only had to move two bookshelves downstairs and we kept the antique furniture that belonged to my grandmother and my mother upstairs in the living room. I have a drawing table in the living room now Yay! I think I will use part of the drawers in the writing secretary that is in the living room for some yarn storage and started projects.

From there it was try to get something to eat from subway before my 4e game which was an epic fail. So off to game we went. I find that 4e is starting to get a bit easier to play but its not the D&D that I grew up with or even converted to (since 3 and 3.5 were drastically different from the original D&D and AD&D). The game has been quite enjoyable thus far but I am sad to say that there was a character death this evening. Our dragonborn paladin died with honor. You will be missed Gesh! I guess that is what happens when the DM crits on a character who is prone by a swarm of Needle Drakes. This happened after surviving the encounter with the Ochre Jelly and the pair of Specters. Well it looks like my Archer will be moving from rear guard to point with the dwarf. I'm kind of scared about this! But I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Sometimes I don't understand people especially drivers. I mean I made a legal left turn from a one way to a one way at a red light with PLENTY of time before other vehicles were coming and one of them who took a good two to three minutes to catch up started blaring its horn and I think the passenger flipped me of but I wasn't really paying attention to them I was trying to keep from hitting the car in front of me that decided that slowing down and speeding up was a fun game to play. While another car decided that it was best to share lanes as I was trying to pass them. Come on people we all want to get home after along days work.

Well today I finally broke down and got the digital camera that I wanted from work YAY! Well at least the affordable digital camera that I wanted from work *grins* Since the one I really wanted was well over 1K. But I love this little bugger so far! The nice thing is that I'm glad I waited since it had a $30 instant rebate and the SD card I got for it had a $5 instant rebate so I got the camera and a 4gig flash card with USB adapter for less then the price of the camera.

What did I get you ask? A nice 10 megapixel Fuji Finepix with a 12x zoom. I may upload a pic or two here once I figure out all the functions and can work it properly. MMM nice digital camera with the feel of a classic film camera. I had been asked by co-workers several times what I wanted in a camera and I always replied 'a camera that doesn't feel like a cell phone.'

I know no one really wants to think about Christmas yet I know I don't but today was my work holiday party. It was good fun though the day was pretty hectic. Especially when life's little emergencies pop up like poking a thumb through a brand new pair of nylons. Needing safety pins for one reason or another, not getting ones hair to look right...though I figured out something to do with my hair that was much simpler and only took five bobby pins. Finding out that one has lost her mineral make-up powder brush, lipstick is the wrong color and can't find the jewelry that I wanted.

But on a good note, had a lovely make-up job done by my roomie fuzziekit, everyone love the dress that I wore that I was excited I fit in it since I wore it in High School. Got a nice gift that I had traded for from one of the assistant Store Mangers and I have to say I think I got the better end of the bargain. Traded a Starbucks Gift Card for a cast iron dutch oven which I think is fabulous! I need to get a roast and try it out! My roomie and I had fun.

Oh and on a side note, bought more tea tonight...is such a tea whore!

Well I have to say that I have been a bit busy and a bit forgetful getting home late at night I think about updating LJ at oh one or two in the morning as I'm going to bed and berating myself some of those days since well I actually had things to say.

So here we go a little update:

~Knitting is making progress again I finally feel accomplished once again and back up to closer to forty rows a day (on the days that I knit) instead of oh about two.
~Too many ideas rolling around in my head I should start writing things down
~My grandparents got a wii and I got bowl against my grandfather and let me say pulling a muscle in ones arse bowling is not fun! Since that is what I did and spent two days hobbling around at work because of a dysfunctional glute. I'm thinking about getting them an extra remote and nunchuck for Christmas since they only have one or a charging station not sure which yet.
