Ooo Rah!

My son Joshua decided to come home from South Carolina to live with us again. We warned him that his family down south was crazy but he was hell bent on going down there to live. Well he found out the hard way and begged to come back home. What is a parent going to do? So he showed up on Saturday with all his stuff and announced he joined the Army. What the fuck?! That is the last thing I wanted! First he goes down south to live with the crazies now he wants to go to Iraq and get shot by crazies. He assures me that he is just in the Reserves and can stay there until he finishes College. I hope so, I am really not liking this!

Chris was home for the weekend (and doing much better after the Thanksgiving holiday in the hospital) so he wanted to give me my birthday present on Saturday because he wasn't going to be home for my birthday. He got me the most fabulous thing ever! I'm now the new owner a of a gorgeous Cuisinart Food Processor! (the largest capacity they make, it says so right on the box!) I was soooo happy! I have been wanting one for ages but with the $200 price tag has always been a bit out of reach. It is fantastic and I had to use it last night. Awwww yeah, homemade sirloin burgers, mmmmmmmmm.

Roadtrip!~

I was sitting in the shop Saturday when I looked up and proclaimed that we should all go to Portsmouth. "Yeah right" Whore says to me, but I was serious. So we closed the shop and hopped in the car and make the 2.5 hour trek to surprise Chris and take him to dinner. We would have got there sooner if someone didn't have to pee. So Whore, TPM and I show up in Portsmouth and take Chris to dinner. It was a blast! We walked around downtown and bought some some mittens (they were knitted but it was cold and they were cheap) and ended up at the Portsmouth Brewery. We had dinner and these huge beer samplers. It was a 2 ounce glass of 10 different beers. Needless to say we got shitfaced and I was dancing with some stranger as we were leaving. And the best part? It cost us 6 bucks to get trashed. Whoo hoo we are cheap dates. We ended up crashing in Chris's barracks room because the hotel was full and drove home at 8am. It was fun! Whore has pics somewhere I am sure she will post on her blog!
Only 1 more day and he will be home all week for the holiday. Speaking of which, I have cooking to do!

So get this: Angie was at the shop yesterday hanging out and said something to the effect of "Hey, did I tell you about that guy looking for you on Craig's List?" I had no idea what she was talking about. She said apparently a guy saw me in Stop and Shop and thought we had a "moment" and wanted to find me. I looked up the post and sure enough, I remember the "moment", This is what he said:

hi your smoking hot with pink and black hair and very nice tattoos. tell me what aisle we made contact in you looked at me and smiled. hope you see this?

Hahaha! I remember very clearly now, I was walking through Stop and Shop getting some snacks to take to Chris up in Portsmouth. You know that feeling you get when someone is staring at you? Well I looked up and here is this guy just looking at me. So I am polite and smile and say hello. That was it, the big moment. I don't even remember what he looks like, but apparently he needs glasses since he referred to me as "smoking hot". Was I on fire? There was probably smoke emanating from behind me because of the friction from my thighs. Plus, he has very bad grammar. A total turn off if you ask me.

On another note, I know I have been neglecting my blogging duties lately, I have just been crazy busy. Between all of Mom's appointments and going to the gym every morning I don't have much computer time anymore. I swear I will try harder! I do have a few projects to post, I will get to them soon.

God am I sore

I have been working my butt off at the gym. I will one day fit in that little black dress! On another note, I haven't really had time to work on much of anything. Spending my mornings at the gym and driving my Mother-in-Law to her numerous Dr.'s appointments has been eating up my time. The shop has been slow so maybe I can start something new. I really need to start busting my stash. With Christmas around the corner I don't have a lot of extra cash to spend on yarn. I am gonna go stretch.

Things that go bump in the night

And scary little boys roam the neighborhood. Here is the costume I whipped up for Max on short notice. I think it is just too funny. He won a "Most Original Costume" award. God I am a crafty bitch.

I'm not dead

Really, I just have been super busy and kinda down in the dumps lately. I do have a bunch of projects to post, once I get pics I will put them up.

Apples, apples everywhere!

So we took Max out to the orchard today to go pick apples. We had a blast! We picked about 20lbs of apples and I had to keep yelling at the boys to stop throwing and smashing them! Ah well, boys will be boys! Here are a few pics of our adventure!







Oh yeah, I made a set of mittens from the wool that Kinnat in Iceland sent me. One turned out smaller than the other! Oh well whatcha gonna do? I am off to make apple sauce!!!!
