So it’s offical I’m now 25….

yes a quarter of a century ago on this day at about 11:30 my mom was sitting at home and reading a trashy romance novel, eating reese’e peices and drinking a coke slurpee thinking about her beautiful baby girl that was going to be born in late november when all of a sudden her chair was soaked. “Damn” she thought “I must have spilled the slurpee” but on further inspection she hadn’t spilled any thing and the fuild was warm and slightly gooey… panic filled her mind “that’s from ME”. She slowly stood and called for my dad.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARY!” ten minutes later my dad was driving like a crazy drunk bat out of hell toward the Petoskey Memorial Hospital. Arriving at the ER at 11:59 my mom slamed open the doors of the waiting roome with a scream filled half with agony :SHE’S COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMING”

The receptionist tried explaining to mom that i wasn’t due for another two months and a week, to which my mom responded with “Explain that to her cause she’s coming out NOW right NOW !” and sure enough my head was starting to protrude the recption ran for a doctor and at 12:01 in the afternoon I was born in the waiting room, the doctor arriving just in time to help me the rest of the way out(I was 3/4th the way out by time he got there)

I was wisked right away to surgery to close up an underformed stomach and lived in and incubator for three weeks.

when I finally arrived home I was much much too small for my crib at 7.75 inches and 4.75 pounds my very first crib was my father old size 14 shoe box, I was then later transfered to a rectangular laundry basket and finally my crib.

The diagnosis were very dim for me, it appeared I was probally going to be very sick most of my like very thin and most likely only grow to 5 feet max

well now, I’m rarely sick and was the same way when I was a kid and I’m 6’2″ and about ***This has been censored by the american fat assocation*** pounds deffinately not any of the things that was said be bestowed on me.

So also on saturday I met up with Jennie and we headed down to Los Altos to see the ever fabulous YARN HARLOT!!! and it was amazing and she even knew about my podcast and made me blush sooooooo much, it was alot of fun. I gave her a present of some hand dyed alpacha that ryan sent me from NZ. So she was speaking at Full Thread Ahead which wins the prize so far for the best business card for a yarn shop… A Emory Board with their information printed on it… no more snagging yarn and you can find more yarn….

and when I was there I found evil delicious yummy yarn 100% silk fingering yarn it was like 56 dollars for 666 yard(see I told you it was evil)i want it sooooo badly… If anyone is feeling generous I really like the colourways gypsy rose, and northern lights(wink, wink)(nudge, nudge).

Why am i here typing into this blog….

Because I’m supposed to writing about my life and crazy things that I did to keep myself sane… but I CANNOT stand looking at the blank page with that cursor blinking at me… I swear each blink and my brain turns off a cell in my logical part of my head…

SO instead of working I’m knitting on socks and reading Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit….

I guess that’s it for now…

I think I’m going to be more of a regular blogger now…

P.S. WHY OH WHY did I join sock wars @ 2am last night??? WHYYYYYYY?????

So I started a post on saturday but I was whiped out from the event I had put together on friday night… It started @ 7pm and the show started @ 9:30 and went till 1:30 am we raised 202 dollars for The Icarus Project(www.theicarusproject.com) and had a lot of fun and got the name out there for people… So from lack of sleep and water I woke up with the worst headache ever took my migraine medicine but that didn’t save me in time and had to call into work…

Well work got their revenge on sunday and I got awoken from a phone call @ 10am calling me into work… And after that I went to sleep and slept all night then so no post then

Then on monday when I had all day to do lots of stuff I managed to lock myself out for 8 hours with nothing but my pj’s, a half finished sock, and $3.25 on me…. No shoes etc… so embarrassing….

Tuesday I went to use the bathroom and the toilet started talking to me so I figured it was time to clean it and I did that untill work and after work went to bed…

Yesterday….. What did I do yesterday?!?! Oh yeah I got sucked into the seventh book of this series and spent most of my day doing that and cleaning some more….

and that brings us to today which I’m finaly updating sooo….

let’s see I’m loving my lana grossa socks they are sooooooo 80′s and remind me soo much of Jem! they are soo pretty I’d take pictures of them BUT I still haven’t found my cord to download pictures but I did scour the world..wide web that is fo rthe following picture of handknit socks in this colourway…

tada…

let’s see I still haven’t found a project worthy of my fearless fibers cashmere lace yarn… hmmm eventually… I think I actually need more yarn to make something really WOW out of it…

socks are coming along i’m rotating them so i work on one for a day then the next etc….

THE SKIRT!!! OMG I finished it tuesday and I love it, it’s blocking on my dressforn right now… it’s purple varagaited half way the black when it starts to flare… the yarn is South West Trading’s bamboo and beuatiful and I made it the length that anne specified but now i think i’m going to make another one in blues and make it ankle/calf length….

OMG OMG OMG I have a new fabulous purse… so Betty went to beautiful bali for her sisters wedding and return with a gift for me she sent me a purse that she got there it’s black and gold mostly black and indescribable, it’s made with batik and satine it’s soo cool i love it it’s my new favorit bag…
