Happy Halloween

So I woke up this morning to realize that the "visitor" has arrived. Having no work-related gigs today, I kinda slowly got ready and packed up, just incase some one needed me somewhere. I even ironed my slacks, just in case. When I realized that it was too late for anyone to call, I ironed the rest of my clothes, which was not alot. Then Dracula came in and wanted to know if I would iron his cloak for tonight. I informed him that I needed pain meds and a nap, and he could iron it is own damn self. After all, it is not the Dark Ages anymore, and I taught him how to iron last month. Then I went to the mdeicine cabinet, and opened it to realize that someone had placed an EMPTY Alieve bottle in there, and proceeded to start to scream, until Igor came and handed me a fresh cup of something that "Master" brewed up that would prove to be better than any IB profin product out there. After I not so politely reminded Igor of my medicine allergies, he reluctantly handed me a fresh, unopened pack of Alieve. I promptly took one, grabbed puppy, and headed for my parents bed, where there is a TV. After kicking the Wolf Man out (cause he and puppy just CAN"T get along, no matter how hard I have tried) puppy ad I settled down and took a nap.

I woke up around noon, and was pleased to see that Dr. Who had made soom homemade chicken noodle soup (the man can cook) ready, and I settled down with that and to watch Heroes online. Then Jack Skelington came over and helped me unload the dishwasher. He, Zero, and puppy played downstairs while I went upstairs to get ready for work. Which is where I am off to right now!

Laters! Happy Halloween!

I may need a hug....

So, I am at the point of the sock where I need to turn the heel. This morning, I go to my room with all the necessary equipment; Socks, notions bag, the pattern, a cup of coffee, and my Vivaldi record (you heard me right. it is an actual, vinyl record). I proceeded to make up my bed, so that the happy vibes from my awesome ocean inspired quilt (I am sure whoever made it was not thinking that it looked like the oceam when they made it, but it is because it reminded me of Gulf waters that I bought it)can permeate me. I took a swig of coffee, turned on the turntable, sat in the sunniest patch on my bed, and got started. After about 45 minutes, just as side A clicked off I realized:

THE HEEL WAS OFF CENTER

I ask you, how IN THE HELL does a heel that you knit VERY CAREFULLY get to be 5 stitches off center on the right side and end perfectly on the left????? I AM SO BAD AT THIS!!!! I HATE KNITTING!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

In other Knitting news, the present is going splendedly, although it is a boring knit. THe sweater is coming along nicely, even though it has a few teeny yarn tumors where the stitches got loose for a few inches.

And in other life news, I had the BEST EVER mojito last night. It was fabulous.
Kinda wish I had it now......

O, but a tangled web we weave.....

So, in the past 24 hours I have:

- Discovered there is a new Cast-On episode
- Discovered there is a New Lime and Violet episode
- Got my Ravlery Invite
- Not touched my midterm paper that is due Thursday (like, in two days Thursday)
