Project 001- crochet - part one

i have been working on a new project for a couple days now. and i love it! my friend Suzy is having a baby girl early September. i took this opportunity to actually finish a crochet project. for real... i haven't finished one project to date! HA i could say i finished a granny square blanket... but i mailed it to my mom with out weaving in the ends HAHAHA OOPS. anyways im half done and i thought i would share the free pattern i found on the Lion Brand Yarn website. 

so here is what i have done so far. the patterns really easy to follow. i catch up on my recorded cold cases while i work on this. im really happy with how its coming along. i think maybe i might redo the base it looks a wee bit small ... like the rings are over taking it. but it might just be in the picture because in real life it kinda looks fine. i don't know... 

heres the link to the pattern, its free!! id say give it a try because its really cute and fun!! 

Pond Friends Stacking Toy

ill post when im done!! i swear this one will get finished.

i plan of unraveling 90% of the projects i haven't finished... and either redoing them or reusing the yarn. im gonna put pictures of them on here... its kinda funny how bad my crochet A.D.D is !!! ive already started planning out my next project and got the yarn and things i need... its so hard holding off on getting started i want to start it now!

saturday night

tonight i relax with my friend, drink some wine, bitch about the military, and crochet!!!

1.Do you eat raw cookie dough?

i used to, in middle school, we would go to the variety store and bring it to the beach down the street from my house and eat and entire roll of cookie dough. MAJOR FLASH BACK miss those days. but i do stock the cookie dough at the commissary and i always want to buy one and eat it. but i cant that would be bad, id probably gain the weight i've just lost right back :[ ... must have self control. 

2. When you get online for the first time of the day… what site do you immediately head to?

i usually go down my list sites on my bookmark bar, so i guess bloggers first then mail, facebook, twitter, youtube....

3.What was your favorite pet as a child and why?

i guess i would say Taz, he was our first cat. he gives foot massages and snuggles on my bum. i miss the big boy. and of course i love my two cats Lucy and Lenny. I left them with Taz and my parents while im over in England, i just didnt want them to sit in quarantine

4. If you had a snail that could magically grant wishes, what would you name it?

my husband said snuggy the snail? i dont think a magical wish granting snail would be snuglly? unless i wished him to be a snuggly soft stuffed animal snail... but then i think id end up with no more wishes? but hes magical so hed then be a magical wish granting snuggly stuffed animal, Snuggy the Snail. 

5. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

481 just tried it! :]

hello friend party at sassy sites!!!

Sassy Sites is having a friend party!! how awesome is that!!! i love checking out new people to follow!

Here is a little bit about me and blogging :]

Why did you decide to start blogging?

i started blogging after my best friend (Jen-check her out because shes amazing!) told me about hers and how she really enjoyed it so i thought why not. im in england, what better way to keep my friends and family updated on what im doing. and its really turned into something i enjoy. im always thinking oh i can blog about this when i get home !!! and i just love love love reading everyone else blogs

When you aren't blogging, what are you doing?

i would say im either crocheting, playing video games with my husband, or logic problems... oh or reading. 

What is your blog about?

anything and everything? a little bit of what im up to, adventures, ive only been blogging for two months now so i dont think ive been able to establish what it really is. 

When do you find the time to blog?
its either first thing in the morning because i find it goes well with a cup of green tea :] or in the evening when my husband has gone off to work. 

Why do you love blogging?

mainly because i get the chance to read about other great peoples adventures. and i can share mine. i dont find myself to be super exciting and interesting but i love to just type away even if its pointless. its a great stress free way to relax ... at least for me... is that wierd? 

What is your favorite post so far that you've written?

i would have to say the one with the video of my new puppy! im just so excited to share his cuteness with everyone. he may be a little brat but oh i love his fluffy face :]

i... am... exhausted...

i am just so tired. i went to work twice yesterday so i could take today off and get to sleep in for the first time in weeks. i guess that is why i love my job. i basically work for myself. my friend was in charge of the sections and i helped her and then she would just pay me, but she handed it over to me last week and now i can decided what time and when i wanna work. so now i stock the yopliat yogurts, pillsbury pastry's, green giant vegetables, pizza rolls, tortinos pizzas, junos pizzas, toaster strudels and pancakes, and grands frozen rolls. YAY. the other day i stocked 100 boxes that was the most ive done. if i work fast i can get it done in 2 and a half hours. i have to get it done between 6pm and 8am. im really thankful for this job because my husbands schedule can be very annoying. when i worked at the post office full time for the holidays i had to take my break to take him to work then get back and stay late to make up for the extended break. it wasnt fun. but since ryan is on 12s he works 7pm to 7am so i went in when i dropped him off.

so i dont like staying home alone and sleeping alone. so when ryan works through the night i go to bed super early so i can wake up and get him. he had a big test today and he did amazing on it! 85 !! second best score in his squadron. i guess they say its technically impossible to get above a 90 on it or something.

hiro has good and bad days. he is having a bad day today. he is being such a brat. constantly biting at my legs. saying NO used to work, then it didnt, so i started yelping like a dog would if they were playing and biting each other, that worked for a day... not even... anyone have any ideas.... it drives me nuts i cant get anything done  because hell just follow me around and his bites are getting strong.

im so tired i cant even focus... im just rambling... atleast i dont start talking crazy talk ... ryan will talk in his sleep... or ill wake him up and talk to him then hell say something crazy.... the other morning he said and in a very serious i mean it kind of tone.... "i can tie my shoes a hundred different ways, but i cant sleep."


goodnight
