I am finally moved!

FUCKALLOTOFTHATFUCKINGSHITIAMNEVERDOINGTHATAGAIN! And I apologize Eddie, I did not realize it would take 3 days! I told Chris we should hire someone to move us. It would be expensive but worth it in the long run. I never want to climb stairs again. Next time, I am definitely hiring people. I don't care who, anyone who will carry all that shit I have accumulated over the years but don't have the heart to throw away up the stairs. On the bright side, my house is EFFIN' GORGEOUS! We are still getting used to it and settling in. The cabinet door fell off the first time I opened it, and I went to make a pot roast and the oven didn't work. But, it has been fixed and everything is now wonderfully hooty tooty.I have not been able to crochet in a week! Now I have a sweet sitting room with comfy chairs where I can sit and hook to my hearts content and not have to listen to the stupid box, because daytime TV sucks when you don't have cable yet. Fuck you Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer, I am well adjusted have better things to do.

I wish I had a pic of my beautiful new home, but I don't. So here is a pic of a beautifully made piece for your viewing pleasure.

I need to find a new project to start. Fall is coming and it will be time for cozy sweaters and such. Who am I kidding, I won't finish them. Why do I even bother? I hate you Whore, why do you make shit so quick????

I wish I could

I so badly want to break out all my yarn and just start making stuff. The problem is we are moving. Someday. They keep pushing us back, giving us excuses like our cabinets aren't in or crap like that. My yarn is packed and I don't want to start anything big because with my ADD and all, I will just forget what I was doing and have to start all over. I wish we could just get into our new house already. Sheeseh. On the bright side, we are not allowed to paint in the new place so I found these awesome decals you can put on your walls then remove without damage. I am gonna place this cute sucker under all my autographed photos of Horror Movies Stars! Isn't he cute????

I told her we needed an appointment.

Of course, Whore and I show up promptly at 10:30am to get a pedicure after a bit of fun at Dunkin Donuts (which is a different story all together, let's just say we made the donut lady blush) just to find out they didn't have room for our toes. dammit. So we decided to go out and try Dagmar's again. Of course, they weren't open. So we headed to AC Moore. I was not going to buy yarn today, but, yeah. 20 skeins later I am trying to stash it in my backseat so Chris doesn't see it. He doesn't care that I buy yarn, but we are getting ready to move any day and I just keep adding to the shit we have to pack. Apparently, I am not smart enough to put it in the trunk where it will be well hidden, so he sees it the second he gets out of his car. I am so smart, s-m-r-t.

I am almost done with that striped hoodie I designed myself. Guess what? It's too fucking big. Whatever. I sketched a few designs tonight I would like to try, maybe I can get Whore to help me out with them. I also started a cute filet crochet pillow (Yeah, ADD) that says "Fuck Off". Quite charming. Someone will love it. whatever.

Oh yeah, and Dad's car is HOT!

Touche

I love my beautiful wall hanging I was surprised to see hanging in front of my piercing station at work. Whore so lovingly crafted it using cheap ass acrylic yarn and a filet stitch, clearly spelling out the word CUNT. So, to return the favor I crafted one just as lovely, using the same cheap ass scratchy yarn. I hope she loves it as much as I love mine. Twat.

My Gauge Problem Solved!

And I am a dumbass. I learned to crochet when I was little from my Grandmother. I have been happily stitching away thinking I knew what I was doing. Guess what, I didn't. I have been doing it wrong this whole fucking time. I was at Whore's house last night so Chris could hang with TPM and yak away about guitars and music and their 15 seconds of fame. I was leafing through a new crochet magazine and stopped on a pattern Whore wanted to show me for a plaid skirt. I was reading the pattern and said "hey, the stitch in here is labeled wrong. They call it an extended single crochet but it is just a double." She pulled out a hook and went through the motions as I read them to her. She looked at me like I had bugs on my face. "That is why your gauge is so small!" She screamed at me. "You are doing it wrong!" So I sat there with this dumb look on my face while she showed me the correct way to double, half-double and treble, cursing my Grandmother for teaching me such nonsense. I am frogging my Prepster today, and starting over, bah!

Hi Mom!

You silly blog stalker you!

ADD Strikes Again!

So I finished all the panels and the collar to my Prepster and all I have left are the sleeves. I was all set to finish it and then disaster struck. I cannot find the rest of my yarn for the sleeves! Fuck Shit Fuck Shit. I know it has to be in that huge pile I call my stash, but we are in the process of moving and I have no organization. I am sure I will find it eventually, but now the moment has passed and I started working up the back portion of a striped hoodie I wanted to make. It will be my first ever self designed piece. I went to AC Moore last night and they had this beautiful soft black yarn on clearance. I went back this morning and found Lion Brand Wool Ease in a gorgeous deep gray for a hoodie for Chis at only a buck a skein! We will be semi warm this winter, if I ever finish any of these projects!

At least it's clean

So, with Jay leaving we decided to overhaul the shop. That shit was dirty! But after 3 hours of scrubbing and dusting and moving shit around, our shop is sparkling clean. We still have a few things to take care of today but all in all it is beautiful. Today we start fresh, turn over a new leaf, blah dee blah blah and so forth. Whatever, it is clean and we can now relax. And maybe, just maybe, I will work on my Prepster!

Chris was home for 1 whole day this weekend. It was so good to see him but I miss him terribly. He will be home on Tuesday for almost 2 weeks. I won't know what to do with myself (but I know what I will do to him...hahaha). Moving sucks but it won't be long before we are settled and I can enjoy my new place. I wish I had a remote to fast forward through all this crap, but then you know, you saw the movie, I will die in the hospital parking lot not ever knowing how my life went. I guess I will just have to suck it up. Hurry home Love, I miss you!!!!!

Saddddd Eyesssss.................

So Jay left today. I can't believe he actually did it. I have spent the last 3 years of my life seeing him almost everyday. We all spent the whole day just kind of in this weird limbo, acting as if nothing was wrong. Then closing time came, and we stood around just looking at each other. We finally had a tearful goodbye on the porch of the shop. I didn't think it would be that hard. Seeing Kendra in tears and walking off screaming "I love you Big Guy!" like she was in a movie made it at least tolerable. We were laughing too hard to keep crying. That man has drove me so crazy on so many levels and has made me so angry so many times, but I am going to miss the Mother Fucker. No matter what happened, we were always a family, and now one of us is gone.

The ADD strikes again.......

So, I still haven't finished my Prepster. It is just too hot to be working on a sweater. But now, as my ADD strikes, I have this idea for a cozy winter hoodie. I am going to attempt to make this without a pattern. I really want to start it but I am dead set on finishing my Prepster before I start any other big projects. But I really want to try it out. I have it perfectly pictured in my head. A warm black hoodie with a large off centered stripe, and a cute skull added to the side. It will be fabulous! Well, if I ever finish my Prepster. Bah.

Oh yes, today I recieved my huge box of crochet magazines. Whore and I spent all day at the shop going through them. I found a ton of patterns I would like to try. I cannot wait to move to the new house so I can finally have a place to be organized. Well, organized for about a week. This way when my ADD strikes and I have a ton of unfinished projects they will at least be piled up neatly.

AArrgghhhhh........................

I want my Husband home!
