I was a big girl today!!

Today, I had to get a shot for the last of my HPV shots (There were three of them). And guess what! I didn't pass out! Usually, when I get a shot or get blood taken, I pass out and have seizures but not this time. I am excited. Although it did hurt. They gave me an ugly bandage so I put a different one on. If you look closely, you can see it's Ariel!



In Knitting news, I am still working on my dinosaur. I haven't got very far but I am working on it. The body is maroon and when I finally get the spikes done, they will be orange. Don't worry, put down your pitchforks all you 'Hoo fans. It's not for me but for Bryce who is turning 12.

I am also still working on the hat for Becky. It is not coming along very well. Not because it looks bad, just because I am trying to pump this dinosaur out before Bryce's birthday party (and yes, I am invited to a 12 year old's birthday party). I like the yarn I using which is some cheap one I got from Wal*Mart . I used the same kind of yarn for her brother's hat but his was black instead of navy blue.

Other then that, not much has been going on. Check back here to see what has been happening in my world.

teehee

I FINISHED MY DINOSAUR!!!!!

Look! It's Bronty! I knitted him.

I have worked on him for the past week and I finally finished him today! You can see where I sewed him up but it's my first one so I am not that worried about it. Also, unless you squeeze his legs together before standing him up, he lays on his belly but he still is a cutie pie.


I used Debbie Bliss cotton. Ann suggested it even though she had never worked with it. I must say that I did indeed fall in love with it. I love the way it felt between my fingers and it worked well with this project, although it did twist sometimes while I was working. It got annoying trying to fix.

My next project is a hat....again. I am making yet another hat but this time it is navy blue. I have started it about three times already then ripped it out because I didn't like the way it was. Finally, I got it to work out and so now I am just needing to finish it. It gets old and sometimes knitting the hat can be boring, plus the yarn hurts my hand. It's soft, but its hard to work with the tension.

I am also going to start working on my other dinosaur, a Stegosaurus named Mr. Stegs. I am making it for Bryce for his birthday. I have to make it orange and maroon though. Not too siked about that but its for someone else and it will never have to be in my house again. (Go Hoos!)

New blog

I didn't like the old layout of my other blog so I starting my new one. So from now on, please check out this one instead of the old one.


Here is something that might make you smile

Thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

I'm gonna make you bend and break

(It sends you to me without wait)

Say a prayer but let the good times roll

In case God doesn't show

(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)

And I want these words to make things right

But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life

"Who does he think he is?"

If that's the worst you got

Better put your fingers back to the keys

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories

even though they weren't so great"

He tastes like you only sweeter"

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"

Been looking forward to the future

But my eyesight is going bad

And this crystal ball

It's always cloudy except for

When you look into the past

(look into the past)

One night stand

(one night stand off)

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories

even though they weren't so great

"He tastes like you only sweeter"

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories"

He, he tastes like you only sweeter"

They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers

In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers

Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes

I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories

even though they weren't so great

"He tastes like you only sweeter"

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"

One night and one more time

(One more night, one more time)

Thanks for the memories

even though they weren't so great

"He tastes like you only sweeter"

One night, yeah, and one more time

(One more night, one more time)

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories

"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"

JSL Champs

JSL Champs were this weekend. I spent most of Friday at UVA's pool sitting in a tent knitting. We, the Greene Hills Gators were in 4th place as of Friday night but who knows where we will fall on Saturday.

I want to say how proudproudproud I am of my wondeful little swimmer who got 25 out of 75 swimmers. I must say he kicked butt. Too see the full story, check out Ann's blog. She also took a picture of me knitting my dinosaur. Ignore the clevage. If you look closely, you can kinda see what the dinosaur will look like.


My dinosaur is coming along but I am still having some problems with it. It is difficult but then again , not too difficult. I am making Bronty. There are two other dinosaurs and I am going to make them too. Got to finish one first.

Well I head back to school soon. I am excited but not excited. I mean, I cannot wait till I get to see my friends again, but I am going to miss being home. So as of Aug. 20, please direct all letters for me to my address at Longwood.
