BAD ME

So, Idk if I posted it yet. But a few weeks ago, I received another package from my SP! It was so cool. Was I think 7 or 8 skeins of Mission Falls 1824 Cotton and a bottle of body cream/hand lotion from Bath and Body Work that was Enchanted Orchid. I LOVE IT! I haven't knitted with Cotton yet, but It will be GREAT for the #88 dish cloth I'm going to start! Its just the right color. I will try to get photos on here tonight, but since I'm at work, without my memory card, I hope Flickr will let me put them up here. I have gotten the order put in for the next package I will send to MY sp! Super Excited about that!! :)

My Christmas Gift arrived a month late! On Saturday January 24th, We welcomed home Teegan. A Yorkshire Terrier puppy. She is ADORABLE! I'm on the prowl for a pattern for a sweater for her, because the day we brought her home, a freakin' cold front came through and the poor little girl freezes when she goes potty. She's only 8 weeks old, so it's seemingly impossible to find a pattern for a teeny pup, and I'm not a professional, nor near intermediate knitter yet. Kelly says, maybe having to modify a pattern for my first sweater attempt won't be a good experience. I kinda have to agree. Anyway....Just remembered that I hadn't blogged about my SP package and I was excited about it!!!

ramblings of a tired woman's mind

blah! Omg...things are CRAZY! My dad lost his job the week of Christmas..throwing my finances for a loop. HOLY COW! Our wedding plans are now changing..and Heaven knows where/how. We're moving to North Carolina sometime around May or so. I got the official go ahead to plan wedding for February 14th!! YAY! That would be awesome. Maybe I can pull it off. IDK though. money being tight I don't know what it will be like. I picked the dress, 100 bucks. that's awesome.
Kelly and I decided to do a KAL, and she's making a sweater/vest thing for her baby, and I'm making one for my kiddos teddy bear. So far I have about half the back done...but I don't seem to be getting anywhere on the arm holes...i just don't have the energy to do it tonight. Started a scarf for a friend, get about 1/3 done, and I'm like, Oh this is AWFUL...so I junked it. And I was knitting two colors together, and had tried 3 seperate patterns...No matter how I tried it I couldn't get the colors seperated, and had to throw the whole skein away. (2 skeins really...but it's okay. they were on sale for cheap...I'm not too heart broken.) I know that's yarn abuse, but there was no hope for it! LOL! TERRIBLE! Anyway...I super need to start shopping for my SPs next gift! woohoO! Hope I make a good choice... anyway...off I go, I better start working again

Thank You SP!!!!

I got a giftie from my SP! I got it On December 24th. GREAT DAY TO GET IT!!! I tell ya. Wrapped and all! I put it under my tree hehehehe. It was a scarf package. The yarn and instruction to make a BEAUTIFUL plume scarf. I can't wait to get all my wedding gifts knitted up so I can start it! Beautiful red yarn, now all I need is the red coat to match it. Looks like a shopping trip is in ORDER! HOORAY!!! I love it!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH SP!!!!

life in general

So, I got an email that my SP got her package, and she liked it! Bonus!! I'm super excited! I can't wait to send another. Christmas is fast approaching. Things have been rough though..I did finally start knitting in the round...i love it! Corban's is having tubes put in on Wednesday, and then we have to start on his CF issues again. Cause I'm sure we're in for that soon again. Sickness being about it's bound to happen. Anyway...I hadn't written in a while so I thought I better just update. Hit up my ravelry profile and check out Corban's Beanie. I have a couple phone pics up.

SP

I shipped out my first SP package today. I haven't done much knitting in the past two weeks. I can't really do it at home, because EVERYONE here is too immature to leave it alone. I expect it of my kids....however of my fiance I don't. Sometimes I want to kick him in the head. He can be so obnoxious. My job changed, so I do a lot more at work...and then come home earlier, so I'm better able to keep house..and spend time with the kids.
Corban cultured Psuedomonas Aeruginosa again, which could be a bad thing. We only have one of the antibiotics required, because his dr went on vacation a week early. So when they KNOW our insurance requires a Prior Authorization to get it, they still call it in and expect us to be on it. So I threw a fit. Yeah, imagine that. Me? Throwing a fit? Never! Yeah right. In any case, I did it. And I'm not sorry. I am sorry however, that Cystic Fibrosis doesn't FREAKING take Holidays. Must be nice for the dr's to get their week worth when their patients don't get any. Wonderful. Not even the PA can't authorize it. And that makes me VERY angry. I have wanted all week to go see my aunt who is in the hospital, but I'm terrified to go because Corban cultured the PA. And I would hate for him to get anything else from the hospital. Hopefully she'll get to go home tomorrow and next weekend I can go up there and visit.
A week from today is Corban's consult for his tubes. I hope that goes successfully, and we get them done within the next 2 weeks. Too much to deal with, his ears always being infected and him constantly being sick. anyway, back to cleaning and bathing i go.

tubes

The word has returned to my vocabulary. Corban was diagnosed with his 4th ear infection since September. At which point I decided it's time. I don't care what everyone else says, When he can't go but 2 weeks without one, then it's time. Consult on December 5th, surgery to follow shortly after, but unsure of when. I just know that he has to feel crappy 95% of the time anyway, so why make him be that way 100% of the time because of the stupid ear infections? I'll just fix it now. Courtleigh was getting her tubes right about this same time when she got hers 3 years ago. In fact her consult was December 13, 2005. Weird. Anyway, I finally my shipment of stuff in for My SP, so I'll be sending it out Thursday! WOOHOO! Still trying to figure out what all to put in it. I also got my first set of DPN's to learn to knit in the round with. SUPER excited. But now that my hours have changed AGAIN, I'll have to readjust my time at home to include some knitting time! :) Anyway, I have much work to be done and much notes to be taking on AP so, I better go...

just random thoughts!

I got my secret pal today! And I'm so excited! I also started Kelly's Christmas gift lastnight! It's coming out great! I'm so excited. I got tags on my new van today, cost WAY TOO much. Things at work are going okay tonight. I found out today they want to teach me how to do some new stuff! I'm super excited. A step in the CAREER direction! I'm so excited. Things are going to start looking up for a good while now I hope. I found the dress of my dreams lastnight, and got started REALLY planning the wedding. I picked a date. April 4th, 2009 at 2:30 PM, I will become Mrs. Matt. I'm so excited!
Courtleigh was invited to her first sleep over today! I'm so nervous that she won't stay all night, but I hope she does. I know she'll love it and have a total BLAST! And then it will be our turn to return the favor. Which I guess I'll need to get with Ames on and see what you do for a little girls sleep over. Anyway, I better get back to work lol, before I get in troubles. Knitting at work. WOOT! LOOOOOVE my knitting!!!
