Can't think of anything so...

I can't think of anything to tell you and I need to post for NaBloPoMo, so I'm going with today's Thursday Thunk:

1. The election is over... what do you think? I want to crawl in a hole and not watch the news or read a paper for the next 4 years.
2. Tell us about a snowman. Angel made me a snowman from styrofoam balls in pre-school. She decided to try to repair it a few years ago, and used the wrong glue and melted the balls.
   
3. What brand of ketchup do you buy? I'm a heinz girl
   
4. Do you use a cookbook? Sort of, I get the ingredients, read the recipes and then cook it ad-lib.
   
5. Do you blow-dry your hair or let it air dry? My hair gets blow dried about 3 days a year. The rest of the time it's air dried, some winter days it gets freeze dried.
   
6. When was the last time you were sick? I don't really get sick maybe about 3 years ago. ( I strongly recommend air-borne and zicam every couple hours when you first get that tickle in your throat.)
   
7. What is the strangest letter of the alphabet? Z
   
8. Who was the last person you bought a present for? What was it? Will you buy me one? My mom, smoked salmon, do you like it?
   
9. Why are we ending at 9 questions? Because on this rainy dreary day, 10 questions will take too long.
   

Angie had a presentation to do at school today. I know when she does her presentations and oral reports etc, she dresses up a bit , but since she usually has practice after school by the time I see her she's in a beat up t-shirt and shorts or sweats. She didn't have practice yesterday so she was still dressed when she came home (She even had on heels you can't see in the picture )

Not going to talk about work, not going to talk about the election, not discussing the HUGE fight i had with Curt - Just want to crawl in a hole and not come out, ever.

Yes!! I sent out the afghans!!

finished ripple 'ghan from hell.



red/white/blue 'ghan



TLV (tony love virus) infected box I sent Min.



Other side of the box.


Yes, yes, yes!!! At 10:30 Sun night I wove in the last end. Both of the final two procrastination afghan's are done!! If I never see another ripple 'ghan again it will be too soon!! My house is a disaster area. Seriously. Looks like a bomb went off. Haven't tidied it in over a week. Don't get me wrong, the bathroom and kitchen has been cleaned, the sheets have been changed and washed. But the rest?? not so much. But at 2:50 pm Monday afternoon, after making fun of my boxes, the post office postmarked my boxes!! Yay!! They are gone!!! yay!!!

No, my house is still not cleaned. I had a lot of stuff to catch up on. I had to type up and post the minutes from the booster club meeting last Monday. I had to e-mail a bunch of fencing clubs to see if we could set up weapon specific clinics for the team so I could hopefully have some answers before the next meeting on the 19th. I gave up creating some sort of spreadsheet of team members and gave it to the IT Sugardaddy himself to work out. He got so fancy dancy- even has the logo on top and everything. Then he tried reading teenage writing. hee hee hee. Read a whole bunch of e-mails.

Completely depressed about something at work that may or may not happen, that is totally out of my control. Will find out Wednesday. Will let you guys know then...

What coffee are you?

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

So - this is the yarn I have decided to use to make the yarnarian's mystery sock. It is actually a solid color yarn - not one of the 2 I posted last week. i won the yarn with my second place entry in ceci9293 (ravelry) blog contest about solving computer issues. ( my answer was my IT Sugar Daddy) It's solid, it's pink. so as long as I figure out how to modify the pattern to be short ankle socks Angie will wear them.

So now I'm having flashbacks to college - cramming. I have 2 1/2 feet of seaming left to do on the red/white/blue afghan for VJGC (victory junction gang camp) then I have to do a single/double crochet border in three colors around it so the size will be correct. I hope to do that while I'm at the laundromat. I then also have to finish about 8 rows on my ripple 'ghan. All this has to be done so I can mail them out with tomorrow's postmark!! I can really picture myself mailing the ripple out tomorrow afternoon and knitting in line at the post office!!!

I can't wait for wednesday. I am so tired of all the polls about the election. I am so done with afghans. I will deal with whomever wins Tuesday, I want to knit something else!!! ( Yes I am behind because i spent a week doing cowls, but ggaaaaaahhhhh)

For Everyone Who Needs Photographic Evidence

No your eyes are not deceiving you. That is me. I have on a Dallas Cowboy Jersey, hat, gloves, earrings, hair ribbons, and facepaint. Scariest Halloween costume I've ever worn!! The whole costume came about thursday as I was discussing costumes with my friends. They said my 4 go to costumes ( she-devil, vampire queen, evil witch, fetish fairy) don't count as costumes because they are too much like the real me ( as if for one day I take off my normal person costume) They said to count as a costume it needs to be something as unlike me as possible - like an Angel or a nice person etc. So after much thinking I called my friend/boss Moe at 9pm - woke him up, I thought he was going in to work at 930 oops. And after a lot of confusion on his part, he agreed to bring in Dallas gear for me to wear. Because let's face it I hate the cowboys with every cell in my body. My husband said it reminded him of a Dharma and Greg episode when Greg's parents want to borrow Dharma's parents clothes to be their costumes.

A couple people thought I had lost a bet, not even recognizing it as a Halloween costume. Discovered that curtis can't get over his dilike of facepainters even when it's me in a costume in the paint.

Angie and her friends went out as beanie babies. They went by beanie baby birthday to pick out their bears. Angie used the computer to create patterns to make stencils to spray a long sleeve t-shirt and sweatpants. The also made big red posterboard heart tags. Very cute.



I was somewhat disappointed by the low turnout of trick or treaters. WE only had 3 kids. A beetlejuice, a disney princess and a beaver. So now I have a bowl of candy left. And Angie put an extra 117 pieces of candy in the bowl as well. I did get smart after last year. Bought less candy of the stuff i like snagging. . . that may not help my waistline though.


Had a rough day at work yesterday. Was really pissed. they are using my computer after I leave for inventory prep. They PROMISED to plug it in and have it charged in the morning. Yeah right. Well for the 3rd time in the last week it went dead in the first hour I was at work. Which meant that my must do work did not get done first thing. So after I freaked out on Moe ( yes right after he brings me my costume - I am evil) I plugged in my computer and went back to receiving to unload a truck. by the time I got the whole 53 feet done I was feeling a bit better so I volunteered to unload the concrete truck outside. The cold felt soooo good. Went to lunch. Came back started hitting the stuff I should have done in the morning. Would you believe the transformer or something blew up? The power blinked for a minute but it totally screwed up the ISPs ( no idea what they do but they all the computers in the building) and my cart after rebooting the cart 5 times I was totally pissed again.. I stormed back to receiveing ( the only safe place to freak out since I kinda have a potty mouth) and my carpet truck had just shown up. YAY! Did the truck, hung out and bs'ed with him for a while because I couldn't do my job and he had a bit before he had to be at his next stop.
