big girl day

Greetings from Farmville!

So there is nothing to say. It is boring here. But here is some recent news.

I found out that one of my roommates has mono. I know how horrible for her. She will be out of school for 2 weeks. I am soo upset because I miss her like woahwoahwoah! Today I did Movers and Shakers at Longwood. That is where people volunteer to come and move the freshmen in so it is not as stressful for the parents. I had the AM shift so I was up at 6a. Not so bad right, well not if you couldn't sleep and didn't get to bed until 4a. Really! Talk about tired. So as soon as I finished with Movers and Shakers I went and took a three hour nap. This, may I say was an AWESOME nap! My phone rang and I never heard it. After my nap, I knitted a little. My sock is really coming along. I am down to the toe and now is the time I am adding rows until it fits my foot. Erin, who went to high school with me, called and asked if I wanted to go to Wal*Mart so me, Erin, Liz (Erin's roommate) and Hawk went to Wal*Mart. Then Hawk and I ate dinner at D-Hall. Afterwards I went to Steph's apartment to move Kathy's (the one with mono) stuff from Steph's to our place. Then move Kathy's stuff from Kelly's/ Lauren's to our place. (Kathy has her stuff in both places). The headed out to the Lancer Productions movie: "Blades of Glory." Then back to my apartment for a shower. And that is where I am now.


I'm off to knit!

Long time no see

Hey everyone. Sorry this is so delayed. A lot of things have happen so this may be a lot of pictures. I have moved back to Longwood. Yes that is right, I am no longer in C'ville. I moved into the Longwood Landings.

Would you like a tour? Ok. Follow me. The picture on the right is my bedroom from the doorway...as you go in you see my bedroom you see my bed and my Little Mermaid poster :-D I am completely in love with my blue curtains. They are so me. And notice my Little Mermaid pillow and
blanket. And of course I took my knitting to school. I actually bought a lot more then this. All the other yarn is at the foot of my bed along with my laundry basket (picture not included so use imagination).
Here is my High School Musical poster. I am planning to get a High School Musical 2 poster at Wal*Mart. Also is my dresser and my TV. My lamp is in the corner. On the other side of my dresser is my
board thingy with all my pictures. Though I have a ton more. I ended up putting those on the back of my door. I have my trunk and my drawers. The on top is my jewery. We then take a look to the right and we will see my closet and my desk. The curtain for my closet is the same as my window but purple. My desk is very plain now but that is because I haven't got books yet or set up my binders for classes. I am avoiding that until this weekend.
That ends the tour for my room. Its my own little world.









In knitting news: I am STILL working on my sock. I am now turning the heel and having problems with it. Translation: I don't know how to do it. But it coming along.




Well thats all for now. Check back for more later.

Merry Christmas!!

to me!

Or it seemed like it today at least. I went to It's A Stitch.

I got a blue Debbie Bliss for Hannah's dinosaur. Then I got 2 pink and 2 black of Sublime cashmere merino silk aran yarn. It is so soft and silky. I love it oh so much and cannot wait to work with it. I am using it for Becky's christmas present (I am making her legwarmers). I also got #3 DPN (to use for the socks) and #7 DPN (to use for the legwarmers). They are bamboo so I hope I enjoy them because I am stuck with them.








I also got the yarn I ordered from The Loopy Ewe. Its the yarn I am planning to use for my socks. I so exciting. I am also working on Patrick's hat but I think I can take a break from it so I can start my socks since I am soooo excited about it.



Oh and I have a date tonight with my bestest and timmy. So excited about that. I think after dinner we are meeting up with peeps afterwards to hang out. So if you want to hang, hit my cell.

This was Jage's away message

My ribs have parted ways
They said, "We're not going to protect this heart you have."

I liked it

Fair

I went to the fair again last night. I met up with GC-BFF, Whitney, Peter. We all bought wrist bands so we could ride the rides. I didn't want to but I did. So I rode the rides. It was fun. While on the Farris Wheel all GC-BFF and I did was take pictures. What losers we are. I also saw Master G and Ann at there. He rode the Magic Carpet ride with me. While sliding down I thought the rug under me was going to slide out from underneath me. But it didn't. We also rode the "Super Shot". Ann told me that if anything happen to her son, then she was going to kill me. Well since I am still alive to write this entry, I think it is safe to say I am still alive so he came to no harm. She told me to hold him on the ride so I had my hand on his leg and when it released us, I freaked out and grabbed onto the handle, then remembered that I was supposed to be holding him and grab him again. I know, bad me.











Well I have no yarn yet for any new projects except yarn for Hats so I guess I will be making yet another hat. My list is growing. Let's see I have:





(in no particular order)
  1. Pink Dinosaur for Hailey
  2. Blue Dinosaur for Hannah
  3. Whatever color Dinosaur that Heidi decides her favorite is
  4. Olive Hat for Megan
  5. Socks
  6. Leg warmers for Becky
  7. Blanket
  8. Hat for Dad
  9. Washcloths for mom
  10. UVA Hat for Patrick
  11. Dinosaur for Whitney (colors to come-Whitney, you are NOT getting a zombie one.)

A mouthfull of news

So many things, so little time.

First, news on Knitting

I have finished yet another dinosaur. This one is for my cousin Hailey for Christmas. Her favorite color is pink, hense the pink dinosaur. He is my best one so far. Yay! That makes my total number of dinosaurs: 3.





Look how cute they are together. It's like one big happy family, although, the VT one is leaving on Friday for a new home. He is going to Bryce for his birthday. Don't worry, I will make another one.





Next news, I went to the fair yesterday. The Greene County Fair is in town. I don't know what is so exciting about the fair but it is da' bomb. (That's right, I said da' bomb!) You pay 5 dollars to walk around and talk to people. That's right. 5 dollars. To talk. I mean there are rides but the same rides as every year and the fair is ALWAYS the same. My Longwood BFF thinks i'm crazy to do this. She just doesn't understand.

Ok, so there is more but mom is rushing me out the door to go to the pool. I will be at the fair today again so if you are there, look for me.

Bumper Stickers

I found a site where you can get bumper stickers. Here are some funny ones I liked.

"I suppose saying F*** You would be unprofessional."
"I run with scissors. It makes me feel dangerous."
"Warning! Is there life after death? Come closer and find out." (with a picture of a gun)
"When you say you are LOL I bet you are really not laughin out loud."
"What happen? Did you wish for a big dick and become one instead."




hehe

What Time is it?

I finished another


I finished another dinosaur. I am not in love with this one like I am the other. I don't know if I like the way it turned out. But it's not that bad. I am giving it to Bryce anyway, so I am going to have to make myself another one (with better colors).


I know, this is a small blog but I just wanted my picture up of the dinosaur. Now I have to finish the hat for Becky.
