Wet apartment

2008-02-13T22:53:00.002-05:00

Yay so i go into my bedroom this evening so get on my jammies. And guess what i step in a wet spot. I didn't spill anything or walked in my room with wet snowy shoes on. So I get down and press down and there is wetness everywhere in the corner. So i call maintence and have to move my book shelf. Maintence comes in and tells me there is melting ice from the roof leaking into my apartment and nothing can be done till spring. Yay! The guy said that they will have people come out tomorrow to try to get the ice off the roof, and have the carpet guys (whose van doesn't work in the cold by the way) come out and access the damages. Yea im totally gonna call tomorrow. This sucks.

My Finished puzzle

2008-02-10T22:11:00.000-05:00

Oh here is my finished puzzle. I think it looks real nice. Im gonna do more of them fosho.

Why can't i do the toe right?

2008-02-10T21:53:00.000-05:00

So i finally finished my second pair of socks. I think i almost have the hang of this whole sock making thing. I have one more sock from another pair that i had started to do. And i think after i finish that one i will be a master. Im just having a real problem with grafting. I hate it and cant make it look right. I am getting better but not really sure what to do with the extra yarn hanging off.
So i really hate the cold weather i really want to smoke but it is so good damn cold i just can't do it. Jen and I went out and smoked on our breaks today at work and it SUCKED! Oh i hate that there is nothing on tv the stupid writers really need to get back to work. Heres my socks....

So this weeknd was uneventful. I sat around my apartment and did my puzzle and watched movies all weekend long. I stayed up too late and slept in too long. I really wanted to go out and do something but had no one to hang out with. Jen and I are "supposed to get drinks" again, this coming friday. I guess we shall she if that will really happen. I dyed my hair today, i think it looks good. I also cleaned my apartment and made myself a really good dinner. I talked to Bari for like an hour today. And now here i am posting this. Here a photos of the work that i did on my puzzle, i prolly will work on it somemore this evening. Till next time.....

Wow Im a loser

2008-01-06T01:54:00.001-05:00

So yes i am doing a puzzle. And yes i am a total dork for doing it. My dream room when i was little was to have a room completely covered in puzzle, floor to ceiling. I told my sister this and she got me a puzzle for x-mas. I was doing it on my coffee table but i had some people over last night and i had to move it. Well let me tell you moving puzzles suck. I basically had to put a lot of it back together again this evening. So this is the progress i was at the begining and at the end of my puzzle doing for the evening.

Update

2007-12-30T20:02:00.001-05:00

So I haven't blogged in awhile there hasn't really been that much going on. I've been busy with work and the holidays. Christmas went well. Joe's brothers weren't as annoying as i thought they would be. It was kinda fun to watch Trinity and her cousins run around and fight. At the end of the evening the cousins did get a little annoying they wouldn't stop running around. It was kinda sad Trinity didn't feel that well and fell asleep really early. So there was no leaving our cookies for santa or her not wanting to go to bed cuz santa was coming. I hope next year she still believes. So Cortney if you read this don't let her stop believing yet. Heres some pics.....

Cookies

2007-12-13T23:15:00.000-05:00

So I am supposed to be going to a cookie exchange party tomorrow, but i had to switch my schedule and now have to work. But i told Lynda that i would still make my cookies cuz i want cookies back. I had to make 8 dozen tonight. I actually made too much dough and prolly ended up with 12 dozen and still have dough left. I made magic window cookies. They are pretty good. Basically they are sugar cookies with melted hard candy in the middle. I used jolly ranchers instead of life savers like it called for. They are still good kinda stick to your teeth eh oh well.

Look what I did!

2007-12-09T22:57:00.000-05:00

So i had to stop knitting the other sock that i had started and screwed up. It was bad. Im gonna have to have my sister help me rip it back and do the heel flap again. But look at this sock. I finished it today. I grafted the toe all by myself and it wasn't too hard. Although i will admit that the whole toe is a messed up but hey whatever its my first sock with zero help. I really like the colors in the yarn. My sister gave me this yarn awhile ago, it is Patons Kroy Socks. I started the 2nd one but haven't really gotten that far.

So I did some x-mas shopping today. Cortney is done, Joe i think i may want to get him one more small thing, Trinity i have gotten her a lot of small stuff umm i would like to get her a big gift but am not really sure what to get. Stephanie i ordered her gift from etsy tonight. Colleen i am going to get her present tomorrow at work. Jessica not really sure. And then i have to just get some small things for people at work. Nancy bath and body works, Harriet a calender, Hajra, Lynda, Lisa, Ella, Margaret, Jackie not sure yet. Oh and i have to get Bari something. Then i think i'd be done. I need more money.

Damn socks to hell!!!

2007-11-29T21:14:00.000-05:00

I can't believe i screwed this up. I was so care full. I was able to get up to and turning my heel with little help from my sister. I just had to call her a couple times just to make sure i was doing it correctly. And the questions i asked were kinda dumb, instead of asking the important question of is this rep rows 1 & 2 24 times or 24 rows total. My heel flap is twice as big as it should be. Im not gonna rip it back cuz i don't know how to do it with out screwing it up more than it already is. I thought i knew how to pick up stitches after my sister reminded me, but im doing it all wrong. So i decided to stop for the evening other wise i would get angry and throw it across the room. I work on it tomorrow after i figure out how to the heel gusset. Untill then.......

No drinks on tuesday

2007-11-27T18:26:00.000-05:00

Yea so I was supposed to get drinks with jen this evening and she ditched me. She sent me a myspace message, couldn't even call me to tell me that she's got too much shit going on. I haven't responded yet. I don't know if im going to. I really was trying to be the better person in this situation. But you can only get shit on so many times. And with everything being as fragile as it is she should have called me. But apparently she really doesn't care. Oh well I was willing to give her a chance, and she failed. Her loss not mine.

My sock so far....

2007-11-25T22:56:00.001-05:00

Well here is my sock so far. I haven't really done that much this evening like i would have liked to. I got distracted by the television. I thought that they had really killed of sideshow bob on the simpsons. The picture is that great but oh well.

Drink this Tuesday

2007-11-25T18:45:00.000-05:00

Okay so I have this friend Jen. We meet at work. We have this great chemistry, we get along, like the same type of things, have a great time together. So here is the thing. We hung out alot this summer. I was interduced to this guy named Dave who just happens to be the brother of our old manager at work, Meredith. So it seemed we hit it off right away. I was on vacation in august and he wanted to go get tattoos together sometime that week. Well Jen wanted to go too. So i said hey whatever the more the merrier. I made us all appointments to go. I had to go to a wedding so we were going to go later. Earlier in the day i get a text from dave telling me that they are going to go somewhere else with out me. I call jen and she tells me that she is no part of that and that we are still going to go later. I get a phone call when i am at the wedding, its jen telling me that her cousin is blah blah blah, so she ditched me too.
Okay so the next couple of weeks get really weird. Dave stops talking to me. Jen is acting weird, like something is wrong and no one will talk to me and tell me with the fuck is going on. So about a month or 2 ago jen tells me that she is dating dave. I stop talking to her. I get confirmation that she lied to me about the hole tattoo thing.
Well so my point to this blog is that today we worked together. We talked, we laughed, we got along. So I got a text from her she misses me, is sorry how the hole situation went down, blah blah blah. SO we are going to get a drink on tuesday to talk about it. I hope it goes well. I would like to be her friend, i don't care about the hole dave thing anymore. I really need to get it off my chest my feelings about this to her. I know that i prolly will not feel comfortable hanging out with her and dave. They made me feel like an idiot. Wish me luck. (im gonna post again later to show everyone the sock that im knitting)

Happy Turkey day!!

2007-11-22T22:18:00.000-05:00

I just got home from spending turkey with my sister and her family. Oh i ate way too much. MMM but the pie was so good. I finally finished my first pair of socks today. They are pretty jacked up. But hey what eva they are my first pair. Im excited that i get to start on a new pair with new yarn. I was gonna use the same kind that i did my first pair with but im thinkin i want sometime different. So tomorrow is black friday and i have to work. Which is actually okay cuz i have no money to go shopping anyways. I have a long day though 8:30 am - 11 pm. Theres gonna be a lot of people home this weekend that i would like to see, i don't think im gonna have much time. Oh well.

Didn't get it

2007-11-18T01:08:00.000-05:00

So I didn't get the job. And im angry. I called into work to go to a presentation. I had a phone interview, I called in late to work to go to an interview, I called in again to go to another interview. Everything seemed to be going good. WHY would you interview me basically 4 times and not give me the job?????? They wasted my time and I am angry. Im also very disappointed. I really needed this. The job was perfect, had great benefits, more money. I don't want to be at my job any longer. I was so looking forward to telling them to go fuck themselves. DAMN! I really need something good to happen to me. ERGH!
