Stalking butch

I wasn't stalking him. I just so happened to be taking pictures of the city streets and he was walking my way so I just snapped away. he's on the right.

WOW WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

Ok, Here goes. Friday Mark took off from work, We went into the city to the village walked around winsow shopping, to kill time. Until Butch Walker went on . Yes that's right we went to see butch on Friday and it was awesome, the crowd was great and the place was packed. But it was so worth it. Saturday Mark and I went to the thrift store and I got a few books like Jodi Picoult and a pair of really great jeans that were like 5 bucks. That's the only things that I will buy to wear from a second hand store because the jeans are so nicely worked in. But now I have to sterilize them in boiling hot water. And after that we had a get together with friends in the back yard we built a fire in the pit and barbecued had some laughs and I retired early and came in and took a shower and fell asleep. Then on Sunday was Cheap Trick and Alice Cooper. That was amazing we had so much fun they sound just as good as they did back in the day. But I got right up front for Cheap Trick. And Robin Zander and Rick Waved hello. Im sure they remember us. So that was my weekend. And now for today not sure what to do but I have to get a package out. It's been sitting in my car and I keep forgetting to get it to the post office.
Have a great day and a good week.

SECRET PAL TO THE RESCUE

My secret pal Saved the day!

Ok here goes. I got up this morning watched the entourage I missed last night, We were at my moms for Sunday dinner, she was so happy to see us, that was fun. But by the time we left it was just coming on and we missed it, So thank heaven for on demand. So I watched it before I got dressed and then I was out the door. I headed over to AC MOORE for a frame for Mark, they were on sale but they didn't have the size mat I needed, So I asked the guy behind the counter if he can make a custom mat and he did, I waited like 15 mins, which was bad because the longer I stay in AC MOORE the more I spend. So in the end the Frame came out great and I was off to the library, And this was where it all went bad. As I was going to the Library some Idiot decides to stop short for no reason at all and the frame goes flying and all I hear was crash, I was sick I didn't even want to look at it, And here I am all excited that I couldn't wait for mark to unwrap it when he gets home from work and see how great it looked.

I was sick. So back to AC MOORE I go. So I tried it again and this time it worked, But im still sick.
And this is where my secret pal saves the day. So when I got home to the mail, there was a surprise for me, I have to say I was like OMG, I couldn't believe what was in the bag. NORO, I fell in love with it I have pictures I do I do !!!
Also a clip calculator, Also a REBECCA pattern book, A cute little sheep, too much I can't ait to see who my secret pal is. Thank you Sooooooo Much. You know it's funny I was just looking through what NORO I had left in my stash. I have to redo my stash again and organize it.
Awesome. I love my secret Pal !!!
So the other day Stan was sick we didn't know what to do or what it was all of a sudden he was meowing and crying, I felt so bad we barely slept that night we were so worried, so we narrowed it down and ended up that he had a UTI so we gave him some antibiotics. And that kind of knocked it out a bit, He finally came out from underneath the chair and was a little back to him self. we are still giving him the antibiotics and he seems to be doing fine.
And that's about it. That was my weekend.

Stan Getting ready for Halloween.

I almost got the full yawn, Pre Yawn .

Venice Beach Photo.

Me, Mark, Donna.

Cable Scarf.

This was a car project and home at night. I had two projects in my back pack on the way to Arizona and I didn't touch not one on the plane.

Clapotis

This is as far as I got on it. I was so mad I only worked on it when It was late at night and I couldn't sleep, or early in the morning when my alergies were acting up and I couldn't sleep.

Red Rock Yarn Purchase.

The yarn I bought from the Sedona Knit shop.

Nothing I couldn't buy here.

Cave Creek Bead Shop.

Again, nothing I couldn't get in my neck of the woods.

But it was great to see the different set up that the stores do have.

Beads

I forgot to add the other tubes of seed beads that I bought also.

Misfit Sock

I felt bad for the other sock I started when we went down to North Carolina, I picked it up and started to finish and complete the pair.

Montezumas Castle

This was way weird, long aso the natives use to live in this castle they called it, but it was carved out by hand in the middle of a mountain and inside were floors that they used ladders to get in and out to each floor. And the vibe you get when your there is like everyone is very quite because they are so amazed at what they see. very cool.

Cave Creek

I was just being funny. This was in the greatest town in Cave Creek, If I ever win the lottery This is where I will reside.

GHOST TOWN

This was also a lot of fun, Mark and I just went crusing around to find something interesting and we came across this Ghost Town Called "Goldfields Ghost Town" It really looked like a ghost town, it was on the way to Tortilla Flats.

I know you really can't see us that good, there was no one around to take a picture for us. So funny

SEDONA.

Sedona Was so Beautiful, As you get closer to Sedona the redder the mountains get. Unbelievable, But it's so snob ville, all the people that live there are very rich, and it wasn't always like that someone told us.

But the views that you see driving all around Arizona are incredible.

CACTUS.

It's so funny, when you drive around all you see is Cactus, Huge ones that are well over 300 years old. It's a law if they catch you tampering with them, like if you try to cut them down you can get arrested. But look how tall that one is. Each arm they have is a hundred years old. We saw some that had like five arms.

GROUP SHOT

From left to right. Mark, Me, Coco, Jimmy, Donna, and Jay, This was the at the famers market in LA. That was fun, but believe it or not it wa hotter in California than it was in Arizona.

What a great trip.

Im Back!!!!!!
We had so much fun. Arizona was so beautiful, and not as hot as I thought it would be. We covered so much ground, We did this trail called the Apache trails, it was so crazy, You travel around these massive mountain that seems never ending. Then later in the week we went to Sedona and of course I stopped at the local expensive knit shop and I bought Lornas Laces, and then moved on the store was called Red Rock knit shop. But what else, We went to this great town in Prescott, It was so nice there It felt like we were in the town of Huntington L.I. Then we went to Cave Creek in the mountains It was so pretty! I love it there, But unfortunately it's way expensive. I have so many pictures,
We also drove out to California LA, I wasn't impressed, We did the Hollywood stars walk, We did the Santamonica pier, and also went to Venice Beach to see all the crazies. It was so much fun. All inall we had so much fun and it was well worth the trip and I can't wait to go back in like Janurary when the weather is cooler. The plane wasn't so bad, I was nervous but I took a pill and it totally did the trick. But on the way home our flight was delayed for 3 hours. So we were stuck in the airport 10 pm to 2:30 we boarded. Got home for 10 am New York time.

I have to post some pic's.

Im leaving on a Jet Plane

Every one have a great week, I will be back on Monday. !!!!!!

With lot's of pictures.

Can it be any hotter. I am melting.

I can't believe how hot it is here, I don't think the aircondition is working properly, Ahhhhh!!!!! It's so hot!!! There was no way I was going to the beach today, It's so hot. I woke early to run errands before it got really hot, Because my car has run out of Freon and I have no AC. Went to buy shampoo, and a few little girly things, got a mani and a petti. Went to AC Moore, went to buy dinner for tonight. Then came home washed my car, it was covered in sap from the trees. And then looked through my books and made a few goodies for my friends. Like ankle bracelets and little things, Fixed up my bead collection I put them in order. And now im posting.
I just wanted my bead pal Gayle, I hope she reads this soon. I emailed her and it came back 2 times I don't think her email is working right. But I did send her a package today so she should be getting that soon. And for jennifer "piddleloop" she has to keep an eye out also. I hoe you like it.
I am having a problem with clapotis. Im very confused I am imagining that you just let go of the stiches at the end when your done to see the dropped stiches, Correct me if I am wrong. I need someone to show me, I hope someone can show me tomorrow at SnB. I should be out in time to make that. But all in all Im keeping busy and my mind off of flying. Especially when you turn on the news and you see a plane crash.you could imagine whats going through my mind, It didn't sit well with me, Now im starting to panic. I have to just keep thinking that I will be back home and it will be all over. Although when we are there it will be fun im looking forward to it.

Look what I got!!!!

Ok ! I know im crazy, But I had to take advantage of the AC Moore 50% off coupon, Im no fool. The knitting on the edge book is like 30 bucks with out the coupon. The knitting way is ok not the best of my collection, But it's fun to read and I need a book to take with me this weekend.

MARKERS!!!!!!

Gayles markers. I love the color wires. I have to look into that.

for my next round of markers.

STAN!

Just a picture I found of stan.

Im gonna miss him when were away.

A post is not complete without a picture of your cat!

Counting the days!

I can't wait till Sunday. I worked yesterday and I was glad I got an extra day in for extra cash, I think im mentally ready for the plane ride I was really stressing. But Im excited and crazed all at once. I keep telling my self I will be fine.
Knitting: I received stich markers from Gayle they are really cool looking and different tecnique in making them. I have to post the picture when im done here. Thank you gayle. And about the socks, You really have to love knitting in the round and with small needles. I personally love to work on small needles and sock yarn. What ever questions you have just drop me an email. I will happy to help you.
Also my friend at work ordered from knitpicks and you know I just couldn't resist ordering something, So I got baby alpaca 6 of them in two different colors. Kind of oliveish and blueish. I want to make a shawl but now triangle, just as a throw, I have to start on the clapotis. I have to know if it's worked up sideways. Or diagonal.? But other than that, everyone loves the bolero. I love it too, I wore it at night when there was a little chill in the air. Im so taking it on the plane with me just to keep me cozy!
I have to get to AC Moore tomorrow I need 5 or 7 circular needle to take on the plane. this way if they take them away I wont feel so bad I don't think they will but just incase.
Alright gotta fly...... Work is calling.

I've been Tagged!!!

I think this is the first time I responded to one of rebecca's tags.!!! Im Sorry Rebecca,
Idiosyncrasyn. pl. id· i·o·syn·cra·sies-A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.Write down five of your own personal idiosyncracies.

1. Im always Checking On this one Little Black hair that grows out of chin. Im to young for this crap, But I learned that my mom had the same annoying hair that happens to her on the same spot.

2. I spend too much money on my hair at the salon to have them get the gray hairs dyed properly, I would use the box but then it would come out too patchy The box color just doesn't cut it.

3. When ever Mark or I open the screen door on our way in the house, I always have to hold the door so the door doesn't slam, I hate in the morning when mark leaves for work and he lets the door slams.

4. When ever im cooking something in a pot that needs to be stirred, I have to watch mark so that he doesn't scrape the bottom of the pot, It drives me crazy because he will scrape it with a metal spoon.

5. When I do laundry and stack the laundry in the laundry bag with the clean folded clothes, I have to carry the bag myself so that the cloths don't fall over and I don't have to refold. I don't even let mark take the bag from me.

I know Im crazy. I can't help it.

A new picture for (piddleloop) Jenn

This is for jenn, Last night she callled me a nut because you can't see the detail in the picture I took of the bolero it was too dark. I know, I don't know how to take good pictures like jenn does. I think I need a new camera. the one I have now Sucks.

My Cactus! I think thats the way to say it.

My mom bought these for me. They came in a little plastic pot and I repotted them in these pot I had for the longest time and I finally found use for them. I love Cactus plants I never had one to care for and now I do. Thanks Mom, I love them !!!

Im done !!!!!

I love this so much, you can't see the detail that well Ill have to take an outside shot of it. I know Im going to be wearing this every chance I get.

Do you like the lights in the back . It give it a little rock n roll effect.

Some weather relief!! Ahhhhh!.

I know Im boring. But I hate titles. Any way I finished my bolero. It looks awesome. I can't wait to wear it on the plane. And that reminds me I have to figure out what Im going to take with me on the plane. I do have plans to start the clapotis with the yarn that my secret pal sent to me. I was reading uo on the pattern for the past few days.
Ahhhhhh! Im leaving next Sunday, Im scared shit. I wonder if im gonna be able to knit anything, Because im gonna be so zonked. We'll see. But were going to Arizona and California. I know I know it's gonna be like a million degrees. But what are you gonna do. Mark might be playing a show in California, which would be really cool I can't wait. Im really interested in Arizona, everyone says it's beautiful there. Especially in the winter months. I wish we were going then but Mark has school so there goes that. But that's really it. Except this weekend im going to my moms and im sleeping over, it's gonna be fun . Just for one night and it my friend Carols birthday so maybe we'll go out. Any way gotta fly. Busy day at work today and I have be there a little early to set up......
Have a great day!

I love great weekends.

We had such a great weekend. We woke up and had a nice romantic breakfast outside on the patio set, our first table. I laugh because we don't have a table in the house we eat on the coffee table. We went to a back yard party and eat good food and I drank 4 huge, I mean huge glass of the sweetest iced tea you can ever imagine. But it was good.
So Listen to this, Marks friend had a baby 18 months ago and I knitted a beautiful blue blanket made with Cabana and I had so much fun doing it. Yesterday I found out that that's his blankie,she can't leave home without it for him, I was so happy I couldn't believe it, It made me feel so good, I can't wait to knit stuff for my child.
But any way I went to see my mom and help her unpack some stuff they moved and it was a lot for her I felt bad for not being there to help more. But we had a great time I didn't get home till almost 1 am and mark got home right after me which I was happy because I hate being home alone. He went to the City to see the Raspberries play at BB Kings.
So on the knitting front I've been working on the Bolero and im almost done with the right side and then all I have to do is pick up all the stiches around the edges, Im hearing that im not going to be happy while doing it. I don't think im gonna mind it. Im gonna try to finish it today. I woke up early and I have all of today to finish. And mom asked me if I was done with the skirt and I told her I put it off for a day or so. But I have been working on it in between the bolero. Ill have it done before the winter. I promise mom.

Have a good day everyone.

Coney Island.

We had a blast. This is where all the freaks hide out. It was the Siren Fest, all these bands played, one of the band sounded like the Cure, I don't remember their names. I wish I had better photos to show you what I mean

Just a beach shot.

This was here on long island at a beach called west meadow.

I love moments like these.
