My First "Real" Afghan

I finally made my first afghan. I always wanted to make one since I learned how to crochet several years ago. Last christmas my grandma woolf taught me how to make a granny square. I had some leftover yarn and went at it.


This is when I finished all the individual granny squares.

Here are the square stitched into rows.

Finally! The finished afghan!

On a Roll....

Okay, not to scare anyone or gross anyone out but the following pictures are showing how I spent the day before valentines day. I am okay. Just a 'rug burn' on the elbow a bone bruised shoulder and typical bruises from the seat belt. Plus a bruised ego, I though I was a pretty good driver...not great...but pretty alright.













This is the same elbow over a month later. I think it's healing rather nicely. Bumpy but better than before.

The Adventures of Koozie

Here are some videos of Kooie that I think y'all might enjoy!

Koozie the Kitten

This is Koozie. This is what she thinks of homework and studying. Very thoughtful of her!

The Travesty!

I know this post is a little delayed reaction but I still have the need to post my thoughts on this particular soapbox.

In June I turned....29!!!!!! Ack! What the huh?!?! I can't believe I am one year away from 30! When did this happen and how do I make it stop? Time has flown by, literally. I was talking to a friend of mine awhile ago and were discussing turning 30 and she has given some great advice. Enjoy life and enjoy the moment. Enjoy every minute of being 20 something. You only get it once.

Okay, 'box done!

Slacker

I know, I know...I'm a slacker at keeping this thing up to date. Please forgive me.

Sooooo.....Recent history has been quite interesting to say the least....

1. I turned 29 in June. Yikes! I feel old just typing that. To think 30 is less than a year away. Scary. I intend to enjoy the last of my 20's. Any ideas of what I should do in the next year?

2. I got a new job. I work in a bakery on the Air Force Base nearby, right next door to the deli I used to work at about 10 years ago. Serious Deja-Vu! I do enjoy it. Steady hours and at a good paying rate. The only thing is how do I juggle 3 jobs and school? I must be crazy.

3. A few weeks ago I finished my summer intership class and passed with flying colors. Then I have started the fall semester already and have come to realize I am truly crazy trying to juggle everything on my schedule. But it is going to be worth it in the end. Stress relief tips anyone?

4. My family has inherited a kitten. Strays have been coming to my house for awhile and I have been graciously been putting food out on the front porch. There are 3 regulars that come. "Ginger" a skittish red tabby female, "Sergio" a all white male that gets around (if you know what I mean), and "Tootsie" a female kitten who has already been pregnant once and she isn't a year old yet. BUT...last week my father found out that Ginger has given birth to a litter, in the jacuzzi on the back porch and promptly captured the three kittens (all three were pure white, guess who is the father...). They were all suppose to be taken to the humane society two days later but I come home to find out that my sly mother kept one and now we are trying to get her (the kitten) and our very protective house, 15 year old cat Molly aquainted. So we have our hands full!

So that is my recent history. I hope you enjoyed it.

A Pleasant Surprise

A little while ago I got the most pleasant surprise. A friend of mine came across a song and lovingly shared it with me. I think it might be the best song ever! I would never have thought that I would hear something like this. Yay for friends who love me! The band is Vampire Weekend. You just have to listen to get why this song is so awesome.
