Just to get you all caught up..

So, everyone that is still standing by, thank you :)

I try not to put alot of turely personal details on here, I have a wide range of people that come here to see what's up.

So, instead of spelling out exactly what has been happening for the last 3 months, I'm going to be vague and just give it to ya in lyrics. Some are from inside me, some I feel would be directed at me from others... I hope you enjoy, and get the jist.

"I wanted more Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore Of saving face
Today is the greatest Day I've never known
Can't wait for tomorrow I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars That never forget
I tried so hard To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is Today is Today is The greatest day".. Smashing Pumpkins

"You better crawl on your knees the next time you say that you love me
fall on your knees, 'cause this time I won't be so kind
can't you see that this is life and life is killing me
is it yours? is it mine?
you better see how evil you can be when you see my evil smile
it's the one that you'll remember when I am not so kind
can't you see that this is death and death is saving me
I say burn all your bridges while you still have control of the flame
I know it's hard but you... tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in show me,
over and over and over and over and over again
it never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
you've hardened to the point
you're hard and to the point
it never was time for us"... Evans Blue

"I've done the best I can to make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry I'm just saying sometimes goodbye is a second chance".. Shinedown

"You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair, you know to just keep me haning round
You say you don't want to hurt me
don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here just watching me drown?
And its alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine.
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go".. Wreckers

"Don't cry to me, If you loved me You would be here with me
You want me, come find me, Make up your mind
Don't lie to me Just get you're things, I've made up your mind"... Evenescence

"touch me now and I don't care
When you take me I'm not there
Almost human but I'll never be the same
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
I don't want to live in here alone
Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me." Goo Goo Dolls

"I'm so fed up with everyone around me
No one seems to care
I'm just so far gone and nothing's gonna change
I'll never be the same
It's always do this, do that, everything they want to
I don't wanna live that way
Every chance they get they're always pushing me away
It's never enough, no it's never enough
No matter what I say
It's never enough, no it's never enough
I'll never be what you want me to be
It's all so messed up and no one ever listens
Everyone's deranged
I'm just so fucked up and I'm never gonna change
I wanna lay it all to waste
Every chance they get they're always shoving me aside
I'M DONE!
I'd rather hate you for everything you are Than ever love you for something you are not
I'd rather you hate me for everything I am Than have you love me for something that I can't".. Five Finger Death Punch

"I don't know why All i need is someone to save me
I believe I don't know why All i need is someone to save me
I believe,
What about those times You left me alone in the bed
Well I didn't mean it
All of those nights You swore that you'd call when you didn't
Well I didn't mean it
All of those times You tore me down and said
Well I didn't mean it
Well what about the times You told you wish you were dead I did mean it".. Royal Bliss

"Once more I'll say goodbye to you
Things happen and we don't really know why
If its not supposed to be like this why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?
Torn apart at the seams of my dreams turn to tears
Once more you tell those lies to me
Why can't you just be straight up with honesty?
Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe
I'm not feeling this situation.
Run away try to find that safe place you can hide
It the best place to be when you're feeling like me." Bullet for my Valentine

"With friends like you, who needs enemys? you ain't right, you ain't never going to be
You're soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine.
You talk real trash when i'm not around,
smile through your teeth, you have alot of nerve
your time's run out, i've got nothing left for you.
I'm leaving you Far Behind I'm leaving you Far behind"... Social Distortion

"You're cryin' now Just like I used to cry before
Turn off the tears, I don't care anymore
You can save all your lies 'Cause I've heard them all before
Tell it to the rain And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of And I'm your love
I gave you love, And got nothing in return
how does it feel to feel what I had to learn
Baby, don't say you're sorry 'Cause I'm just not concerned".. The Four Seasons

"I believe I can see the future 'Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose Then again That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice Now I never make a sound I just do what I've been told
I really don't want Them to come around, oh no
Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here And there is no pain Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here Sometimes Yeah I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started, oh But I can tell you Exactly how it will end
Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here And there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I'm writing on a little piece of paper I'm hoping some day you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something They won't look behind
I am still inside her A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know I don't know What else I can do
Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here And there is no pain".. NIN


"I recall the scent of you when everything was fine
I remember all the words stuck inside my mind
Cause all the promises were nothing else but lies
I don't have to look at you to see it in your eyes
I see right through you Everything's broken
I see right through you Everything's gone
Everytime I close my eyes I picture you inside
Though I know I've lost it all, forever you'll be mine
But all the fears inside me left me with your lies
I just have to look at you to see it in your eyes
I see right through you Everything's broken
I see right through you Everything's gone
Now I'm leaving this behind I'll erase you from my mind
You were never meant to be mine".. Drain STH



"Don't think we ever really got it right Both you and I have always kept it bottled up inside
Can you show me what it feels like to give yourself away
Why can't I hold onto you
There is no one around who picks me up when I'm down like you do
and when you can't hear a sound will the silence drown you too
Who's going home with you tonight was it real or am I part of your collection have you crossed the line
Who's going home with you tonight Oh I feel like you're an open invitation Is this how we say goodbye
Keeping secrets somewhere down below I wish you had the heart to tell me that you sold your soul
So many things you couldn't let me know You had to run away
It's getting harder to sit here alone I've been waiting and you still ain't home
I have never ever felt so low I've been thinking where did you go
Who's going home with you tonight can you tell me what it wrong and what is right
Who's going home with you tonight".. Trapt


"I walk alone, I am alone, I think alone, I'll die alone.
Don't think I can make it on my own
I think I need someone to save me
Such is life, so sad but true
Kill everything that's close to you
Try to decide what not to do
You know you can not control me
I don't see the point in going any further than we've gone already
Can't keep my hands steady
Sadness everyday for me
You can't take that away from me
All these fuckin' thoughts inside my head Are almost more than I can take
You push and pull on me You're gonna keep pushin' till I break".. Staind

"You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time I'm telling you how much
I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love".. Smashing Pumpkins

So.. I don't want to play this game anymore...

Happy New Year.

umm hi

So, I have not posted in a very long time.
If anybody is still reading this, I'll start back up.
If not.. that's cool too :)
Late

nobody dyes

So, I am dying yarn today!! :D

I'm kickin' out a bunch of semi-solid kettle dyes! (aka Inconsistant)

Late

We have a sweater

So, the sweater is almost done. I decided that I'm not happy with the seaming or the trim that I put on last night at crochet club, but other than that it looks pretty good!
Both sleeves are the same length! hahaha My gauge seems to have produced the correct size. (thanks for trying it on Deena :) And with about 2 hours and luck finding buttons tonight, it will be in the mail tomorrow!
That will give it a day over a week to get to Ft.Bragg on time!! :D
Late

WOW have I really not even read a blog all month!

So, it just took me an hour and a half to catch up on the Yarn Harlot!!
I can't believe it has been that long.. look at everything she's done!! like 3 pairs of socks and a sweater!! Not to mention visiting sheep in far off places.. green places!!
Very exotic for someone like me.. in the middle of summer.. in the middle of the desert.

I think that the end of July/ beginning of August is just a weird time for me. Every year something happens. It may not be life changing, but it always feels like it could be if I wasn't such a control freak.

(I was going to break into a long story here... mid-life crisis.. need a change.. freaking out.. getting too old to be acting this way.. blah blah blah... but as I was typing it, I decided to keep the craziness inside for now hahhahaah. If anything dramatic actually happens, I'll let ya know :)

Do any of you have a month or season or what ever that always seems to put a hitch in your giddy-up? Am I the only one this happens to?

Anyways.. the prizes are off and received. I thought that I might have loaded the pics.. but I didn't .. sorry.
The knitter on the east coast got a little naked lamb knit out of acrylic yarn (hahaha acrylic lamb) and some stitch markers. The girl that I went to school with back in the mid-west got a couple dish clothes and a groovy dish soap bottle that I stole the idea for from my bff.
When I post a pic of it.. I'll tell you how easy and cheap it is to do :D

On the knitting front, I still have socks on the needles. They are the socks that I cast on during world wide knit in public day. They are beautiful and easier than they look, and would be totally finished if I didn't have soo many seestors to knit birthday presents for. Those presents are all done now, and the only thing standing between me and the socks is the sweater.

I'm working on my daughters sweater. The pattern is in the Fall Vogue Knitting and the yarn was picked out by Nikki when I was in FL for her graduation. I think I already told you all this hahaha sorry.
This pattern is great for a first time sweater! The directions are very easy to follow so far, and although the cables look complicated.. they really knit right up. I think it may actually get done in time for her b-day. If I remember to stop and pick up a 16" US13 for the sleeves on my way home from work, that would help!

Late :)

Socks

So, while I was showing everybody how "easy" knitting a sock on two circulars is last Tuesday night, I messed up my socks! hahah
I had just put them back on the same two needles to continue knitting 2 at a time after turning the heels, and I was talking about taking liberties and "fixing" things as you go and letting go of little problems.. (ie see.. then you just k2tog and tada the right number of stitches) HA

As soon as I got home I pulled both socks back to just after turning the heels. Only 2 rows and they are all better now.
Yeah.. just let go of little problems.. my butt!! :)

Late

ps Vogueknitting fall '08 in 5 days!

Almost.

So, sometime this weekend I should be sending off the prizes from the contest. Next time I do a contest I will have the prizes ready before I post it :)

I finished a b-day present for one of my seestors yesterday, and I was patting myself on the back when I realized that I completely missed one. I'm not sure when her b-day is, but Mica, if your reading this, I picked a pattern and your present will be cast on this weekend!

Guess what!!! The fall issue of Vogue Knitting comes out this weekend! There is a beautiful sweater pattern in there that I have been looking forward to since like April I think! I'm going to knit it for my oldest. We picked out yarn at a yarn shop in FL when I was out there for her EOD graduation :) It's a very soft washable wool. I'm hoping to have it done in time for her b-day in Sept. I can't believe she is going to be 21!!

Oh, here is something I can tell you about. The hubby and I finished laying the flooring in my house last Saturday! :D One less thing we have to do before we sell it.

Speaking of the hubby, we will be married for 5 years this Saturday. I know!! Somethings seem so far away and others seem like the other day.
Hey that could be a line in a song. :)


Well, since I can't show you any pics or even write about anything I've been working on, I guess I'll just talk to ya later :)

Late

I can't show you

So, sorry that my blogging has been slow lately, but I'm working on prizes and gifts for people that read my blog :)
When they have been delivered, I will post pics, I promise.

I do have a couple new colorways to share with you!!

Blueberry Swirl


un-named


Persimmon (thanks Courtney :)


and my new semi-solid yarn that is going by Inconsistant ;)
This color way is Mixed Berry... I think :)


I hope you like them, if you have any requests let me know, other wise just see my yarn site.

Late

What do ya think?

So, I'm not sure, but I think I like this layout. You like? Is it too hard to read?
Late

New Template :(

So, I am trying to give ya'll something new to look at, but it does not seem to be working very well.
I will keep working on it!
Late

We have winners!!

So, I got a winner from myspace and blogger!

Carolle from myspace and choo choo knits from blogger have both come up with the answer... They take place or come from Chicago!!

I'll add the rest of the answers below! :)

Thanks for playing! I hope you all had fun!

ps. for the record Anna knew all but one song (of course) and a few of the movies.. and she knew that they were all from Chicago.. cause she is a music guru!! She denied the prize!

a. And like before, makes no sense
never coming
always leaving right before
hooked on substance
dig in deeper can’t reveal
why we leave
well enough alone
never thought about the shame
Chevelle

b. Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I’ve been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
‘cause that’s just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I’m just a notch in your bedpost, but you’re just a line in a song
Fall Out Boy

c. you heard that we were great
but now you think we're lame
since you saw the show last night
you hoped that we would rock
knock it up a notch
rockin was nowhere in sight
and its never good when it goes bad no one likes to feel like they've been had
and it may be ok
but you won't wear our t-shirts now
anymore
Local H

d. Just another day when all that I want
Will mark me as a sinner tonight, I'm a sinner tonight, yeah
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air
Disturbed

e. Our friends will all make fun of us,And we'll just laugh along,Because we know none of them have felt this way
Delilah, I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame
Plain White T's

f. and even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
Angie got it!
REO Speedwagon

g. Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe believe in me believe
Smashing Pumpkins

h. I try to keep her on a short leash.
I try to calm her down.
I try to ram her into the ground, yeah
Can’t fight the seether

Sedona AZ

So, since we were in the car for this trip, we went to the top of the AZ side of the dam to get some pics of the guys coming across.


As we headed out across the desert, we saw this on one side of the car,

and this on the other side.

Guess which way we were headed.. :)
It started to get a little lighter,

but then.. it got darker.


The views were great! (from inside my warm car)

The rain just kept getting heavier and turned to hail.


Then, as we pulled into Jerome, AZ,

The clowds parted and the rain stopped.

This town really has their priorities straight, that's the LYS.

Right above Town Hall!! :)

I've never seen a yarn shop seperated by color.

Here's the Kuigu I got :)

Here's the local BnB. Great burgers :)

Down the hill.

Up the hill.

If you take away the mountains, it kind of reminds me of the small town I'm from.

Miner! :)

On an off roading flat head!!




Of course, I don't know how to flip video..! I'm not sure if its going to work..


Sedona is very pretty, but very touristy! We just passed through on the way to camp.


Our first visitor in camp was Robin :) We also had a visit from very large, noisy ravens, and a skunk, but I didn't stop to take a pic of him!

Picture fun with a hematite skull I bought for the hubby at the yarn shop!

The "bears" came out and messed with tents and scared people!

Mixology with a little flash light flare!



Of course I was knitting.


Pack in.. Pack out!


Don't forget the sun block.

The night before we left I knit a cover for my new Sirius radio :)


Then my camera got jealous and wanted one too.



I spent Monday working on Suzy's b-day present, but I'm doing the design myself, and it is not turning out how I want it to, so here's a pic of the socks I'm working on instead!


Late

4 dayer!!

So, I'm sorry for the last post, but I would rather vent here than on some poor meaning-weller. Yeah, that's probably not a word.. but ya know what I mean.


The hubby and I are taking tomorrow and Monday off to go on a little road trip! It is a motorcycle trip that his club has planned for Sedona, AZ. Unfortunately, his bike is still acting up, so we will be taking the car.. although that does mean AC, so I guess its not that unfortunate hahaha!

We were going to stay in a hotel, but there were no openings for Saturday night. That's OK, the campgrounds have showers, so I'll live.

I'll have lots of pics to show when I get back, have a good weekend.

Late

crap

Disclaimer: If you don't like what I say, or you think it may be a little about you, just remember, I'm nobody and its just my opinion and my feelings and it only matters if you let it.


So, I try to act like this isn't bothering me, but it is. I feel like I could just lie in bed and cry for a week, and some people are taking my lack of public emotion for not caring, so I need to set some things straight.

The doctor called me with the results from my fertility tests, the results were not good.
She gave me the details and then my options and chances of actually having a baby. She also reminded me that she is not a fertility expert and offered me a referral to a clinic.

The next series of tests are very invasive and are not covered by my insurance. I really do not feel that paying more people more money and going through more pain and hope just to be told by more people that I can't have a baby is something that I am willing to go through.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't use any way necessary to have a child if they choose to. What I am saying is that I feel, if I was meant to have my own baby, it would be possible with a lot less medical intervention.

It is important to know the limits of what you are willing to put yourself through.

The hubby and I knew that we were going to have obstacles to overcome, we discussed the options.
I'm the type of person that trys to find out where I am before I start walking.

If you knew me, like you apparently think you do, you would know that.

I know about surrogacy, I know about adoption, I know about fostering. I also know what my goal was and I know that none of these things would fulfil that goal.

I have step-kids, and I have felt the pain and joy of being a parent. The disappointment and the pride. I don't really see how adopting would be any different.

The whole that I have in my heart would still be empty.
I tend to be an all or nothing person.

Once again, something you would know, if you knew me.

All I wanted was to carry a child that was part me and part my husband. Bring life into the world. Love and teach that person to be happy and watch what he or she became.
That is apparently not what was meant to be.

So, while I'm going through this very difficult time, try to do me this little favor.

Don't give me that look!

Don't assume that you would've done anything to have your child and that since I am not willing to go through more disappointment that I must not really want a child.

And don't tell me that raising someone else's child is the same!


You don't know me... you don't know what I'm going through. You have a baby, you had it the "fun" way!

So please, leave me alone, and keep your opinions to yourself!

Happy first day of summer!!

So,

I'm getting my hair cut... this afternoon.... SHORT!!

Have a good weekend :)

WWKIPD

So, how was your worldwide knit in public day?

It's my new favorite holiday!

Now, no one here in Vegas put together a big shindig, so what I did last Saturday could really be recreated any Saturday, but it was fun!

The "usual" group met at Borders around 10.



I knew that the "usual" knitters would understand if I completely ignored them, so I quickly cast on a new pair of socks. Talking and casting on 2 at a time on 2 circs doesn't always end happily!

"That guy" who usually gets mad at us for being too loud in his cafe didn't seem to mind us being there this week. He looked over like he was going to jump right into our conversation a couple times, but he didn't look mad or anything.
He must have been feeling our Festive vibe ;)

Next stop in our WWKIPD yarn crawl was Wooly Wonders!




We were down to only 3 of our "usuals" Mayme, Deena and myself, but this shop comes with its own!

I love this shop!

I have never felt the "you're not from around here" vibe in this store. You know when you walk into a new yarn shop and the "locals" get restless, sometimes, dare I say.. snobby?
Not here, well, not that I've seen anyways.
The only problem with this shop is that if you stop in to say HI, and fall for the, "sit and knit a while" trick, you will lose your whole day. (I mean, if you can call that a "problem")

UhOh.. I think Deena likes this shop too!!


It was very good to be reunited with some of my yarn!



I love to see how it knits up! Thank you Charles :)

Yarn and dye supplies brought back up to an exceptable level, Deena and I decided that it was in our best interest to leave the yarn shop. :) It can be hard to knit when there is soo much yarn around to look at.. and buy.

Since the mercury was starting to bubble up around the 105 mark, we decided it was time to get out of Vegas!
We didn't go very far, but it was nice enough in Boulder City, with the aid of misters, to sit outside.

Milo's has a great patio, and if you sit up next to the building, your wool (and acrylic) stays dry ;)



Their wraps are almost as good as their deserts.. well not really, but they were really good.
A little beer, a little sangria, and of course knitting in public, the not-also-knitting-in-public public ;)




That's all I've got for ya right now, I have to go scuba diving.
I love my job!

Well, sometimes.
