Thanksgiving Aftermath...

I should start at the beginning. Seeing as I had to work on Black Friday, my Thanksgiving started on Wednesday, with my beloved sister coming to pick me up. Now I could have driven myself down but I chose not to, and I will give you a list as to why.

1. My car is old
2. My car is leaking oil from the head gasket
3. My check engine light keeps coming on
4. I'm lazy

 So there you have it, the grand total of reasons I chose not to drive myself. My sister is probably reading this and either laughing or plotting my death. I will now interject here with a message

"Love you Koala Bear" 

Moving on, my sister came to pick me up, and I loaded her car with all of my storage containers and boxes. Why you ask, because as I am getting divorced, I'm moving out. Not much else occured other thank we drove to CT and had super awesome sister time... or we would have had our youngest sister (hereto referred to as Baby Brat) invited her boyfriend over. I will say here that I have no problem with her boyfriend, but sister time is sister time and that means NO BOYS!!!!!!!!! 

Thanksgiving was great, saw my family, met my cousin's new girlfriend, and had some great food and wine. Yes wine, my aunt is now making her own... which in the wrong context makes her sound like a drunk which is something she is most definitely NOT. After dinner, dessert and family laughter and torment, we returned back to my mother's, by way of my grandmothers (to connect her new laptop to the wifi), and Walgreens Pharmacy (so I could purchase hair dye). My sister dyed my hair for me, (I'm horrifically bad at it and tend to miss giant chunks of hair leaving me with a very splotchy dye job), and got this lovely purpley red all over me and mom's kitchen. In fact her exact words about the back of my neck were "Holy Shit, it looks like a zombie bite". I'm sad that there are no pictures.

There we have it, most of my Thanksgiving. I'm not telling the rest simply because it's just boring shit, like we drove to her and then here and then here...you know logistical shit that nobody cares about!

When Life Gets In My Way....

I don't know where to begin... ahh yes.. the essay for class never got written, I work like a madwoman, and finally I'm getting divorced.....

Pause.. rewind.. WHAT?!?!

Yes, this past Monday, my husband of four years and I have decided to end our marriage. We both feel that we've reached the end and that it is best to bow out while we still like each other as people. So yea, I have no actually project updates because I've been quite busy packing all of my things and making lists of who gets what. We are behaving quite civilly about this and I'm thrilled. I absolutely do not want to end up battling over stupid shit like who gets the TV (I do..). I will eventually become consumed with the emotions that I am feeling and probably write more than a few entries here so I don't go screaming into the night and end up looking like a total nutcase. Not to mention it's a healthy way to express these emotions without actually verbalizing them, because I always feel like when I do verbalize something it's going to happen...

I have to say there is nothing quite like watching a James Bond with something warm and cuddly... Pumpkin is a huge Bond fan....actually more accurately she's a Daniel Craig fan cause she absoloutely will not watch any other Bond....

Infinity Scarf pt. 2

Infinity Scarf has begun. I have decided that I shall be giving it to my sister, because she's been so kind as to point out that I have never ever knit her anything. Thus shamed, I am giving my scarf to her and will choose something else for myself.

I've come to the conclusion that there is nothing quite like knitting with either soft music or a movie on Netflix in the background and a cat snoring away pressed up against your leg. It's so relaxing, especially when I've been stressing out about an essay that I still haven't finished. This essay, that is due Weds, will be written at the last minute and it will be some kind of high school bullshit that will get a me a barely passing grade because I honestly don't understand what the teacher wants from this essay, she's never very clear in her explanation of things.
Random blurt.. I want a sewing machine....
So I'm off to ferociously knit this scarf in the hopes that I can get most of it done tonight as it's a fairly simple pattern, although 260 stitches is a lot of stitches to hold my attention. Night everyone...
P.S. I like comments!!!!

Infinity Scarves.....

I take up my keyboard to wish everyone who reads this hello....

I'm taking a break from the sweater because I have issues and for some reason I just can't stand to see the finishing of the first sweater I ever knit. I was the same way with the first story I ever wrote as well. It took my like two months to write the final chapter and I cried the whole time. I've come to the conclusion that I get overly attached to inanimate objects and should probably seek help...

meh who has the time...

So as I have titled this post, Infinity Scarves. I see the damn things everywhere and I long to own one because I love scarves of all shapes and sizes. However, I refuse to spend a cent on something that will undoubtedly end up looking like garbage because I'm cheap and shop at Walmart... So I find my self buying bargain bin yarn in a lovely dark brown shade (I'm looking for something to go with a really kickin' pair of green pants) and I'm currently looking up patterns on Ravelry... I'm going to attempt this and hopefully I will like it...

*Update* I've found a scarf I like and have cast on... here goes nothing WHOO!!

Oh my word....

It's always when I want to work on the sweater....sigh

I have cats.. I talk about them frequently because in the words of my sister I'm a crazy cat lady. Seriously she's even dubbed some of my grocery store trips the crazy cat lady special.... she's such a sweet heart..  I'm off topic already.. wow.. Anyways, I seem to have this problem as seen in the above picture... whenever I want to work on my sweater my cats find a way to sleep on it.. in fact this picture is a little bit old..... by a few hours cause now they are both asleep on it.... I guess it's onto the bag project...

Me, My Cats, and My Sweater....

The biggest things in my life right now are my cats, myself and the sweater I've been knitting since June... We will start with my cats..

These are my cats, Pumpkin and Felix, I view them as children as I have none.
 

Pumpkin is my precious little girl, she's all black. I'd recently come home from a trip, so she's investigating the other cat smells around my bag!!

Felix is a tuxedo cat, who being exceedingly shy, loves only me in the world. It took me quite a while to get this picture, he's hard to pin down!

Moving on, to the next item in my life, ME!!! I'm 25, a college student and I work a really really shit part time job in a Seafood Dept, while moonlighting in a Deli Dept. Yes, I work in a grocery store... it's awful.

Lastly, we come to the sweater I've been knitting since June. I wanted it ready for the upcoming winter and YAY it will be. I only have about thirty rows left to knit, including the sleeve ribbing. I got the pattern on Ravelry.com, and knit in a lovely color called Waterlily! This is an Instagram photo, because I apparently feel the need to share pictures of everything with everyone all the time!









So that is everything..for now anyways, I have to go to work at 11:00am and I'm going to be super tired, because it's 1:30 am and I can't sleep... here's to my morning coffee, I hope my favorite guy, Travis, is working.. he makes the best coffee!!
