HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy new year everyone.

Im doing this now because im gonna be very busy making stuff for

marks friends party tomorrow night. As much as I dont want to go. you know I rather stay home.

and be cozy and safe in my own home knit to my hearts content and watch the ball drop and cry for a minute or two like I always do. I am not drinking heavy maybe a touch of wine. but Im not going overboard

and repeating the office christmas party and throw up my guts for 1 full day.

So everyone have a happy and healthy, and be safe.

Pissed off beyond!

Ok I can understand once in a while we stay late and take on emergencies but every time im there is so not fair. I worked again 10 hours with no lunch. Then after work I went to borders to see about a new knitting book but there was nothing good especially after the holidays. and then I went to the supermarket and bought stuff for pasta with garlic and oil. came home made dinner and just opened the Laptop and I am posting "from my laptop" (mom). I can't get enough of this thing. Thank you so much Mom and Dad!!!!!

On the knitting front, I am knitting up a laptop case from AlterKNITS in Fushia And black Just like my bag That mark bought for me when we went in the city. And it is coming out awesome.

But I really can't complain about work too much I do Have off on Friday, so that means a three day weekend, And I really have to try to get to SnB this week. Im Gonna try my best to get out on time tomorrow night. Any way I need to knit something and feel good while doing so. Talk soon

Christmas review!

Wow!!! Christmas was here and It was a great one. But the one thing I hate was that it went so fast and I hate that. It feels like I just got off from work and the four days went by with a blink an eye. All in all it was very nice I have to say, my parents are the best, But towards the end of the night I got very emotional and I was crying. I love them dearly and I worry about them with all the worrying they do, I need them to be here for a while, don't get me wrong nothing is wrong with them Like I said I just got very emotional, I think it might be close to that time of the month where us women get emotional over the smallest thing. I guess my chemistry is changing. hehehehe! I have a few pictures to post I have to reinstall my Kodak picture CD so I can get them up on the blog. Any way it's late and I have to get up early for work tomorrow. More to post tomorrow. Oh and a quick thing I should be getting a package from little knits I can't wait it should be here tomorrow I hope, It was my Christmas gift to my self. Just a little bit of noro........ I can't wait.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

It seems like this year went so fast, And not only to me but to everyone I know. Its crazy, I know it sounds like im rushing thing but I cant wait till its all over. And the new year gets here. There a lot of thing I have to do this coming year.

Any way Tonight is my mother in laws for the Christmas eve with the fish and crab sauce and and then tomorrow is my mom and dads for Breakfast and an early dinner. I cant wait. It's like Thanksgiving all over again. Turkey sweet potatoes and all the fixings.

So my secret pal got her last package and she loved it. I sent her the hand knit holidays book and some chocolate and a book for the boys and a burt bees lip gloss some yarn that was celery colored and I think im missing something. But all in all Im so glad she got the package early and she loved it. Thanks secret pal for being a great pal.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Classic photo of the empire state building

It's cold

It was so cold at this point. I was so tired my feet hurt and I was so cold.

I dont remember where this was i know it was on 23rd street some where.

The Flat Iron Building.

This ones for my mom, she always loved black n white photos.

And I always love this Building. theres just something about it.

Crazy weekend

Alright here it goes....
Thursday night After work at 7:00 pm I went to moms in the Bronx mind you an hour ride in, slept over and had a great few hours of sleep in the spare bedroom. I had the bed all to myself and it felt great to strech my legs way over the other side and not have to worry about kicking mark in the ribs. heheehe!!!
Friday morning woke up at 8 am had coffee with mom and off we went Christmas shopping. Got back to moms at 3:00 pm
had dinner at moms and then headed off to Long Island. Got home at 9 pm washed up and fell asleep.

Saturday morning Got up to goto work, came home 2:30 pm . I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open, Mark came home from practice and said lets goto sushi for dinner and for some reason I wasn't tired anymore. I love sushi.

Sunday I got up at 6:30 to shower and catch the train at 7:43 to penn station with mark, we had fun but it seems like nothing opened till12 noon on Sunday, so we were aimlessly walking around till we found a book store to kill time in. So you can imagine how tired I am today after a 9 hour day without lunch.

I cant wait till Saturday. And Sunday when I get to mom and dads. I wonder what they got for me. I think they have a little surprise, Im not sure what it is but I can't wait to open it......
And I can't wait till its all over. Im so done with all the stores. Ican't wait on line anymore.
So I have a few pictures to post. Catch you soon ....

Silverthaw

This yarn is amazing. I love this yarn. and the color way is so beautiful and so soft.

this is by far the best feeling and fun yarn I have worked with.

Fingerless gloves.

Fingerless glove I made out of the Donegal tweed from Sirdar. In lime color. I have to take a better picture in the day time so you can see the colors.

And thanks to Laurie I would have never made a pair she did hers in pink and they were so cool I had to make a pair.

More snow on the way.

It's crazy. But nothing significant on the east end. I had a hard day at work today. I was so not in the mood to be there. I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed not a happy camper today. And Im never like that. Never ever.
Any way I've been busy knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting. I made very cool fingerless gloves due to Lauries lovely gloves that I watched her finish last Thursday, I also made a pair for my honey. And then I started up a beautiful hat with Noro Silverthaw. It is amazing, and so wonderful to work with. I want to buy a whole bunch of it, Quite expensive though, But the hat was only a one skeiner.
But that's about it. I been working my ass off the mooolllaaaa is flowing in and all im doing now is saving, it's a great feeling but working every day is kicking my ass. Im not used to it.
But any way I must get back to the knitting not much time for that lately and I must read the rest of a million little pieces, great book kinda of depressing but so far it's turning around.
until next time.

Our back yard Christmas tree.

This is what happens when you wear your Snowman socks. I love waking up to a fresh coat of snow. It's so beautiful...

Snow wishes

I wore my snow socks just to make the odds of the inches better, and when I woke up this morning there was a beautiful scene in the back yard.....

Yeeppppeeeeeee!!! It's snowing...

I love the snow....
A really quick breakdown....
Work is great, The money is rolling in and im getting addicted to it. But the only downside is it's cutting into my knitting time. And I don't get a chance to see my knitting friends because by the time Thursday comes im pooped. But this is gonna be a great week. I can't wait till Saturday. I have my Christmas party for work and then after that im going to missys sleepover with all the knit girls.. I can't wait. Im so glad im going.
On Thursday I did get a chance to goto Panera to see half of the girls. It was good to see them. I will see you all this Thursday.
"Christmas shopping" Yea right. I haven't gone out to do so. I did a little on line but not much and I don't think I have any time to do it since I work every day including Saturdays. Im hating life right now But I know it is all for the best.
any way I don't want to stay online too long I just have to post a few pic's and I gotta knit.
Have a great snow day.

Flying Fingers package....

And this was what was inside.... Gotta love Elise, she even wrote out a post card and put in the box and made it extra special. I miss going to that store during my lunch hour. I used to goto

http://www.flyingfingers.com/content/ every Tuesday. I miss you Elise!

It's here It's Here!!!!!

I got a package from flying fingers..

I love that store. I have to make a trip to see Elise.

the best part of her store that i love is the chairs in the middle of the room, and the amounts of yarn that her store has My god it's like a child in a candy store...

I just thought I could share this with you guys.

I can't wait till it snows like this!!!

Although This was last year. I love this picture of my sweetie Pie. It's that time of year.

Just a quick post.

Just a little project im working on from the not just socks book. Of course stan has to poke his nose in and see whats going on. Im almost done with the first glove.

The lighting on this picture is the best. I spent the day on friday putting this little thing up, I had so much fun watching Cristmas movies and eating leftovers from Thanksgiving. What a ball I had by myself.

The tree is on fire....

AHHHHHHH............ Call the Fire department. Just Kidding......

It really looks like it..... I had to show you this one.

I think it's the crazy effects on my new camera.

Stans 2005 Christmas PIcture are up !

I know I say this all the time...

Isn't he Cute... You just want to mush his little face...

No. Stan didn't get to see Santa this year.

Once again. he is such a ham. he is so comfortable he doesn't care what you are doing to him, he is a great subject

The Mystical Tree

This is a great pic. Yes I have been busy. I went to pier 1 Today with my friend jenn. I couldn't resist getting a few more Christmas ornaments and I came home made soup and rearranged the tree with the new stuff.

It's been a while!!!!

I feel so bad I haven't even wished anyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Im so sorry...
But all in all it was a great one, I got to see my family and we had a really good time, It was great to see my brother, He's doing so good and he looks great. Im so happy for him.
I did stuff my face with stuffing and I couldn't even eat dessert, I had a tad of pudding pie, but that was it for me.
I have been working my ass off, which is great I need to start saving so dough. But I hate the new place, It's just so boring and we don't even get lunch nor are we allowed to converse with each other are the Boss... It's crazy I have never worked in a place like that. It's just two days I know I can deal with it, Im not there to make best friends, We shall see.
So I was also on line x-mas shopping. I got a few things out of the way, and the best way to shop is on line you just have to find that sites that have free shipping. I also got an early Christmas present from FLYING FINGERS from Mark. Just what I always wanted the baby bobbi bear. Some cotton chenille and so manos variegated. I can not wait to get my hands on that box when it comes in the mail. I really should wrap it up for Christmas, But who would wait, Im sure not.
Although I can wait till Christmas is over, this way I can start a new year fresh. I know Christmas will come and go and I don't want to rush it away but I have plans for the year to come I need to get on with it. Well I gotta go I need to goto sleep for a long boring day tomorrow. I have a few pics to post also.

Woke up with Mark

I know it sounds funny. I woke early and I went to Kohls and got some long sleeve shirts for a couple of buck so I can wear under my scrubs for work. They were having there half off sale they had pretty good finds.
Any way I quit the oral surgeons office, I know only after a few days, there was no way I was gonna make it there. But I have another job lined up I start this Monday coming. It's right around the block from my original job. I can't wait I went to the office yesterday and they hired me on the spot. And the doctor is really sweet, Kinda nerdy but really nice. I know I haven't seen his dentist bad side yet Im sure he has one.
Went to AC Moore this morning also. I had to get some tea light candles. They have them there for so cheap 50 for $1.50, So I got 2 bags I should be good for the winter I love lighting candles around the house. I use them for the Yankee candle tarts they smell up the house so nicely. And Mistletoe is my favorite. I found a Mistletoe candle we had in the attic from last year and I was burning it till it was gone. So I ran out to the store to get some more. I love the smell of Christmas. Any that's all for now Ill let you now how my first day goes on Monday.

And I can't wait to have a nice turkey and Lots of stuffing, i remember when I was younger I used to eat so much stuffing and get so sick, We lived below my grandma and we had Thanks giving upstars And when I ate so mush of it I would get sick and have to go back down stairs and be sick to my stomach from eating to much stuffing. And my mom would always come down and say " you see you ate to much stuffing, See what happens. you do this to your self all the time"

Just to give you an idea of home much I used to eat. My fond memories of Thanks Giving.

after a long monday at work.

It's off to Apple Bee's for half price apps.

The hat

I can't wait to finish...

Hollywood hat

Marks hat... I have to make another, It is so easy...

Holy crap !!!!

So here goes. I have never been so busy in my life. Maybe when I was 21 when I was going out every night after work. But not at this point in my life have I ever worked 6 days. I haven't even looked at my email and I had over 90 of them. Any way ive been working in an Oral surgeons office in Holbrook and it Ffffin Sucks. I hate it there. The Women Suck and everyone else in that office it seems like they all have PMS. Whatever..... I can't handle that. But the good news is that I got called to work in an Endodontist office and I have an appoinment tomorrow morning and I think it will be good. But Im happy I kept telling myself that things will fall into place.
But anyway I keep asking myelf why am I beating myself up over this but like I said that I kept telling myelf it will all fall into place.
I am so mad I keep missing Thursday nights. I have been so tired and I can't even hold myself up by 6 PM there was no way I could make it there. I will be there One day soon I hope.
Knitting front: I was knitting today at lunch time because I couldn't stand to be inside with all the Females on PMS on my lunch hour. Im making a hat for Mark out of lambs pride in army green and the pattern is from Hollywood suss cousin the second book. It's coming out great and Im almost done, It's a very fast knit. I can't wait to finish and give it to him, I almost want to make one for myself. And everyone on my Christmas list.
any way tata for now, Im tired and I need to rest my legs and butt, t hurts from standing all day and doing leaves this past weekend...

I wanna squeeze him to death

You have to see him laying there being so cute...

I had to take a picture of him

I love the fall around here!!!

The only bad thing is the amount of leaves that fall on the lawn. You literally have to rake everyday

One skein Wonder.

It's really pretty yarn, And as I was knitting it up yesterday I had it up against my jeans that I was wearing and it looked really good, And Im gonna make the sleeves a little longer if I can go that far with the amount I have left.

I finished my clap

I finished it.... And yes the walls in my house are blue...

It's a very Rock n Roll house. See the Van Halen pictures behind me.

The weeks are flying by.....

I can't believe it's November 7th already, You know it doesn't even feel like the holidays. Usually you really feel it after Halloween. Any way Ive been working almost every day this past week which is good I need the money. And I start the new job on Wednesdays this week. It's just the one day. I hope it goes well. You know how it is when your the new girl- every one shit on you till you prove them wrong. I hope they don't give me a hard time because that's really gonna make my day. Any way I started a one skein wonder and Im almost done. I just picked a nice left over yarn from a tank top I made long ago and I love the colors and I don't remember what yarn it was I didn't save the tag. And I also have Rouge on my list, it a pattern that you can pay and download it great. I did the same with the one skein wonder.
so this weekend Marks friends were over and and we lit a fire in the back yard it was fun it was so beautiful to have a get together. But I ended up going inside and falling asleep, they didn't leave until 1:30 am. And then yesterday i made a great pot of Sunday Sauce. I invited Buddy over for dinner and we watched Detroit Rock City. We were hysterical laughing. And then he left and mark fell asleep and I was up knitting.
And my mission today is to find a spinning wheel around here so I can pick it up instead of having it mailed. But i think Im gonna hold off for a little because they are a little costly, I might have to tell mark to order it for me for Christmas.
And that's all for now....... Have a great week....
