I hate winter.

Ok, so its the time of year I hate, winter. I can't hide that I'm crazy as well in the winter, I'm stuck inside because its cold and wet out side and I have such pent-up energy that I get stupid.

I have done my best to keep "me" out of this blog because I have a strong fear of ending up in a dessert freak-show between a bearded woman and a baby-eater with a grain-alcohol swelling ring-master beating us, if people know whats inside me,but, I need an outlet. Just this morning I got up and ran a taste test on my husband that consists of me adding flavored coffee to his "regular" coffee to see if he can taste it. I'm sorry honey. So far Tim 2 me 0. Then I went on a massive animal hoarding expedition on Farmville until I started to feel psychically ill from shame because I am totally out of space and kept selling off the poncho wearing llamas for pink sheep. I admit I don't "get" those Llamas but where do the go when I sell them? Then I folded a load of clothes while talking to Piggy,Bailey's dog, in an excited voice about folding clothes until she was wagging her hole body she was so excited. Then I ate, A weird meal of 1 fried egg, 3 green olives and a soda. Then, I decided I needed to try to read for the 52 in 52 challenge but I'm such a slacker I kept thinking about "with a grain of salt'' and what that means (no, I'm not reading about salt, but it would be cool if I did, I think salt flats are cool) so I had to stop reading and google it and I found out that its a Latin term and I want to learn Latin so then I had to set "cum grano salis" as my Facebook status. Then I decided to hula hoop, thats right my logic took me to hula hooping. So after about 30 minutes I'm a little tired and Tim says we need to go to the store with that pinched look on his face I know means "go get dressed now or I will search Criagslist for a grain-swelling ring master right now!"So then I con Kristen into doing my hair so I don't end up sticking leaves in it or something that seems awesome until I look in the mirror while I write this, trying to be still, I HATE WINTER!!!!!!

P.S. Kristen says she knew I was crazy, but I am "cool" crazy...(WTF!?!)

1 of 52

I finally finished my book! I was a really good book and I can't wait to read the second one but I just don't have a lot of time to read. I hope I can make the 52 books in 52 weeks challange but I have made a rough start of it!

Now, I'm reading Duma Key by Stephen King and I will be BEYOND shocked if I finish this one anywhere near a week, this guy is 2 inches thick! Wish me luck!

As far as my knitting is going, well, yesterday I watched 2 disc of my Ghost Whisperer set and now I've got about 8 inches done on the body. I am also working on a hat for Tim which I'm about 3 inches into. Have a great week! I know I will, it looks like its going to be busy, just what I need in this wet, cold winter!

All I finished this week was my "purse project"

Most knitters carry something in their purses/backpacks to work on in their down time. I knit on my breaks at work when I'm not walking with a group of ladies trying to get fit. Last week my project was a scarf...for a dog.

Tim wanted me to make it. So I did. Meck doesn't seem to mind wearing it and Tim keeps telling him that once the snow falls he will be very glad he has it, I'm not sure he is convinced.

As far as my book and sweater challenge goes I have about 6 inches of my sweater done and am almost have way through my book. Oh well, I'm having fun doing both!

Starting my New Year.

I again joined the 52 in 52 book challenge on Ravelry along with 11 in 2011 sweaters so I yesterday I cast one my first (ever) sweater of 2011 and today I started reading my first book.

I hope I can stick with this challenge, but it will be fun trying even if I don't!

And a pic of our boy just cause he was standing there smiling so big.
