What Week is this?

Sick and out of tissues.  No lab due this week.  Tests were moved back two days.  94% on one and 96% on the other.

My car key has been moved.  repeatedly.  I can't find the poor thing any where.  Waiting for my dad or Brother to find the spare key.  Lucky me I'm able to make copies, one of the nice things about having a car from 1993, there's no mini computer in my car key.

Not a lot to say.

Pictures:

 This poor creature has yet to tell me his name.   But he doesn't belong to me.  I have to pass him on soon.
   But he's cute, and ugly.




And able to use my computer in the dark.

This is my lovely new laptop sleeve.
Made by the fantastic people at

IUpTown Chic on Etsy

The birds are blue and white.
Maid with a thick fabric, maybe wool,
I'm being too lazy too look up the listing to see
what the shop listing says.

It makes me happy.

This is my latest project.   A super Pirate-y ECU hat for Sarah.  I started it last night, and will probably finish it tonight.

Hats are fun and easy...

You should make hats.
   I'm trying to find charities to make hats for, any suggestions?   So far I've only found Rivers Around the World (they do Caps Around the World)  I know it's popular to donate for cancer patients, but haven't found any great places to do that.


Okay then.  I think this is week four.

Week Three

The knitting monster is glaring at me,  I've left him on my junk table for too long.  He wants to start standing on my desk, complete and stuffed, with an angry face embroidered on the front.  ... Still glaring at me to be taken to his home, which is not with me.  I hope to finish him this weekend, but I have other things on my list that need to be done first, so I will continue to accept his glare, with shame.
   I have been over productive so far this year, so I don't feel that bad, but even when I tell him, he doesn't listen and becomes angry.  I've made two of the six pairs of socks, and a sweater.  It's only January!  But ...  it does not matter.

My mind is starting to wonder from school work, I find myself playing Facebook games.  I currently "should be" working on a lab assignment, getting a printer working with my computer, organizing my house, so I feel better living there, posting a discussion board answer, finishing the loose ends of my health class, making sure my calendar is up to date, finishing the second half of my 20 page chapter review, replacing my wind-sheild wipers, planning my meals for next week so that I stop eating chickfila every day, buying some pirate bucks so I can have Chickfilla cheaper every day....

Blogging is important, it's on my list of important things for this year.
1)  Knit 12 sweaters  (Now 11 sweaters)
2)  Journal every day  (Fail, but trying again next month)
3)  Blog once a week  (so far so good, smudged a little bit)
4)  Knit 6 pairs of socks  (4)
5)  Knit/create all my presents  (we'll see)
6)  Plant and tend a garden (warmer weather please)
7)  Write 52+ thank you notes/letters (52)
8)  Receive a grade of B or higher in all classes  (So far)
9)  Eat on a regular schedule (doing better than normal)
10) At least one chcoclate party every month, the first 6 months (January: Check)
11)  drastically reduce amount of yarn in my house, by knitting and gifting.  ( lol )

Week Two

This can count still, since it was an extended three day weekend.

I had today off from Baby time.  The Momma just got back from being in Mexico for almost two weeks, so she needed the Baby time.  I enjoyed today spending time with a friend, watching True Grit with friend and Other Brother (+ sister and family).  The past couple of hours I've been sitting at Starbucks doing school work (and I have no idea what time it closes... I'm guessing 11?).  I did the math, and though I only have a few assignments completed in each class, I have all As.  It was a good first week.  I'm halfway through my online Health class, hoping to finish that by the end of next weekend.  Then I can knock two hours of course work off my list this semester.
   Still need to buy some Pirate Bucks or maybe a meal plan, but then all of my big expenditures will be gone and I can put the rest of my loan/grant money away in a savings account.

That means. . .I own a computer! And a bike.
I found a great cruiser style bike with gears at Target, on clearance.  It was 89.99 instead of 179.99.  Score.

I am currently using my computer, it is a lovely MacBook Pro. . .  You'll have to visit me to see it.  Or I'll come visit you, since I don't have internet at my place yet, and I have mess loads of school work to do. . .always. :)

Anyway.  That's my blogging post for the week.

First Week

Well then.  I got a head start on the knitting ideas.

Completed:  1 sweater.  1 1/2 pairs of socks.
Currently on the needles: 2nd sock, working on the foot.

Pictures and details to come, Katie F. now has the sweater.  Katie R. has the first pair of socks.  The 2nd pair of socks go to Man.  I think.  Might give them to Joe, just because I failed at Christmas/Birthday presents.

I'm excited about starting school, which is tomorrow.  I have money on the way for school, the refund form grants and loans for school (plus a computer, plus living expenses). . .which will come. . .probably too late.  But soon?  Four classes online, and three classes in person.   And work, little man is getting big.  Talking a lot, napping less, and generally being awesome, when not being cranky.

...

Deep thoughts.
