Project Spectrum

I know I've not really done much for this project, I'm such a slacker sometimes but I realized I have a few things in the last couple of posts that might just count towards the air segment of this. The moth of course is an air creature and the booty bag I knit for a gift? I took the photo of it in the air drying! So there ya go. LOL I was wondering what I would do for AIR: Gray, White, Yellow.

Lame ass post, sorry, just so focused on getting through life right now. Not that I'm busy, but there are other things going on that just eat up time. Anyway, hope you all are having one fine summer time! Peace.

By the way....

If anyone sees that on a tee shirt can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know? I am obsessed with the fishies that go pook pook pook!!!! Thanks :)

This is how I'm going to choose to look at it when the time comes (MANY years from now I hope!)

The Star

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

Still nothing to report.

I'm alive and just so overwhelmed with everything that is going on at school and my personal life that I have a hard time just getting stuff done. Student teaching so far is going ok, I really like the teacher I'm working with and it's an 8th grade class first then a 7th grade class that I work with on Mondays and Wednesdays. Wild age group and so much fun to watch and talk to. The things that run through those minds never cease to amaze me.

I have hardly touched any knitting so really can't say much. The penis sock isn't very excited about what's going on so it's done very little growing. I'm going to get that damn sock done before the next sock kit comes though! I also have to get a baby sweater and hat done before the end of November. I know you all are like, you can do THAT, geesh. But the truth is? I really do not have time and the further in to the semester I get the heavier the work load will be. Oh holy sheep shit, there's also the holidays coming up too! WTF am I going to do? I know, schedule! yep, it's going to have to come down to pulling up good ole Exell and making a schedule. I hate that, except then I can schedule in some knitting time right? Yeppers LOL.

Ok, off to get ready for work, peace!

Such happy days!

I showed off my tattoo to more people today, even ones I was a little leery of showing because they're not tattoo kind of peeps, and you know what? They surprised me! I had to go check my chin to make sure it didn't get bruised from hitting the floor! First, the tattoo itself, then the subject of the tattoo, then how big it is, nothing I though would be an issue was. One lady I work with is rather religious and she really liked it and absolutely loved the colors of it. She then proceeded to tell me how she likes the colored ones much better than the black/white ones. I had another lady who is a great grandmother twice tell me about one she wants LOL.

I've told them all about the vine around my left shoulder and onto my chest that I want and they all like the idea too. I swear sometimes I just love the human race, or at least those that are within my little box of a world. I have decided it will be a vine and I have goals/intentions I have set for myself and each time I reach one of the goals or one of the intentions come to fruit I'm going to add to the vine. Most will be rose buds but one will be a butterfly. It would be great to have it soft and feminine, much like a watercolor picture if possible. Maybe not, we'll see since it's a ways off anyway.

Ok, since this really is supposed to be a knitting blog I'll say something about knitting. I ain't done any LOL. I worked 8 hours yesterday and 8 hours today and I'm am tired. Kids start school tomorrow and I have to work from 6-11 and then my classes start on Wednesday so I'm not sure if I will get any knitting done for the next two days at least.... hee hee but my priorities are a little out of whack and we know I will just because I said I wouldn't.

Mr. Ed? If you read this post too, you're still getting a tip because you totally deserve it, don't even waste your energy typing back a response to that, even if you do like my smile, and I AM still smiling. What do you think about the vine idea? Can it be done in a style that suggests an ink and watercolor painting? And will a Saturday for the checkup be ok? I can use it as an excuse to take the kids to the zoo again LOL.

Enough babbling for tonight. Need to finish my beer and head to bed. Not sure that's a great idea, I'm PMSing and I totally just ate some fried kielbasa along with the beer. I may have to crash in the chair for a few hours. Ahhh why did I just share that with you all? It's so pathetic... and what's even more pathetic? I'm going to post it anyway so you all get a taste of the inner workings of my mentally challenged brain. Peace Peeps!

tomorrow

Zoo, tattoo deposit and appointment, hopefully a nap, and then work. That's how I hope tomorrow will go. Knitting? Probably not, but I may decide to start a sock while the kids are wandering around the exhibits. Oh, but which sock should I work on? Hummm? I have such a variety to choose from! Ok, well, I'll probably post pics of the zoo if I remember to take the camera. Peace knitstas!

Looky, I've got friends!

I like our anoles. Even if they kids THINK that they are theirs, it's not true, they're mine. LOL. Isn't it hilarious how the one is stretched out? They were so cold and totally zonked out the minute they started to warm up.

I was looking....

through some older photos and condensing my Kodak files and came across this photo. The last one taken before I donated my hair. I was so sick at the time and looked so rough, but since it shows my hair at it's longest it's worth showing. Boy oh boy, no wonder I couldn't stand to have it long anymore!

And this? This photo cracks me up because I've got these teeny tiny little pigtails in the back and I feel silly and cute all at the same time. Not sure why I want to share this with you except I've been debating about growing my hair out a bit for winter. I'm thinking not now.
So this is just a random weird post for you. No knitting has gone on and I've hardly had a chance to study either which I'm quite pissed about but damn it, you know, sometimes I actually have a frickin' life! Too bad it seems to like to happen when I don't have time for it. Peace!

Tarot it's me again?

Ok a bit lame but I tried, give me kudos for that at least. Barnes and Nobel never even called or sent an email saying they were in, I went up there (stalkers-r-us) and there they were. So anyway, I have a new set of cards to play with. I need to find some time to shuffle them so that they start to feel like mine because they don't now. My old deck is "mine" ya know? The new deck is a bit cheerier than my first one so it should have it's moments of use. Anyway, I have my Death card to take to the tattoo place for my next tattoo when I find the money. Can we say loan disbursement eh? So, I just wanted to tell you all I got them and that I got a couple more inches done on the poncho. Cool beans! Later gators, it's off to bed and then review tomorrow in lecture and then a dentist appointment and then who knows what. Peace.

I'm sitting here waiting.....

I'm waiting for a phone call at midnight to be on the Castpod pod cast.... hummm. (Hey, don't go listen if you are easily offended because it's rude and crude and full of swear words k? I don't want anyone coming back and yelling at me. Consider yourself warned.) I'm super tired so he had better call soon or I'm going to be asleep in my chair. Thankfully I don't have to leave for school until 10 and I'm ready for bed. Just wanted to say Hi, I'm still here and I'm feeling pretty good. Hope you all are well. Talk to you soon rubber duckies!

Toes, toes and toes!

Me in pigtails LOL.
And new toes. It hurt to take off my skull and cross bones but I did it.
They don't always match so well.
But the right food turned out the best and if I don't show them together then who will notice? LOL Only me.
I'm running out of ideas so who knows what will be next. Maybe the skull and xbones again. Maybe I will get some acrylic paints and get more involved with the designs... No knitting done still, hopefully soon. At least I'm still being creative. I'll let you know how the disection goes tomorrow.

Check out my toe!!!!

I have a thing for skull and cross bones if you haven't noticed. I mean, yeah, pirates and all are evil and mean and stuff but what I like to think about is buried treasure. There is so much around us all the time be it physically, mentally or emotionally. I love discovering buried treasure that is inside of me. So, hence, the love affair with the Jolly Roger.
And I give you the sockapalooza sock #1. I hope it fits her and that she likes it. I'm a bit worried about the heel. but if it doesn't and she doesn't she can frog them and figure out something else to do with this rather expensive merino wool yarn LOL.
The pooling at the heel is really kind of neat in my opinion and I really like the way it turned out. At first I didn't like the picot edging on it but then I thought that it looked kind of neat and added a festive touch to the festive colors. So anyway, there's the sock!

Poem by me, for me, and I'm sharing

Just so you know, I don't feel like this today. I just read it again and I think I'm rather proud of it now and I want to share. Not sure why, but I do.

Failure ~ by me, today, June 25 2007

Pain, anger, hurt, all swirling around
Slipping and sliding deep down inside
Swelling up, oozing out, starting to pound
Silently I sneak up to you, silently from behind.

A whisper as soft as a butterfly wing
A slight caress like a breeze blowing by
A slice of pain, flash of red, the sting
An illusion, no more hurtful lies, it dies.

Mixed emotions dragging me down
How stupid am I, a total clown

Failure as a human, failure at life
Failure as a daughter, failure as a wife
Failure so total, failure so swift
Failure at life, failure's deaths kiss.

From day one this life has totally sucked
I was born from a weekend with no luck
Paying for someone elses kharma?
Paying for wanting to harm ya?

Why am I always feeling so bad?
Why do I have to fester and bleed?
Why must I feel the need to live mad?
Why am I denied what I need?

Failure as a human, failure at life
Failure as a daughter, failure as a wife
Failure so total, failure so swift
Failure at life, failure's deaths kiss.

Holy Sheep Sh*t!

Chillin' with big eyes.

I went to the eye doctor today and now I look like that damn cat from Shrek, all big eyed and cute... well, not cute on me, I look like a friggin' alien or something.

I called the Gyn and low and behold my original doctor is back in their office on Fridays and she had an opening in two weeks!!!! I don't care what you all think about it, this doctor saw me through the first four pregnancies (had a miscarriage at 8 weeks between the first two boys) and delivered #1, #3 and #4. #2 was delivered by one of her nicer partners so all was good. I am so glad I can go and talk to a doctor that I love and feel safe and comfortable doing so. Paps are never fun though, no matter HOW much you like your doctor LOL.

Work tonight, Sat and Sun from 6-11. Then two days of school and I'm done for 5 days! yeeeeee haaaawwww.

It just hit me, how pathetic is it that I'm excited to have 5 days off from school? Pretty darn so eh? Then it's 7.5 weeks and then 2 weeks off. Good god, the though of the fall semester flips me out, don't need to think about that right now. STOP. THINKING. NOW.

Got my package from Alison over at the blue blog today, THANK YOU ALISON! Even with the yarn in my hot little hand I can't believe I won something! No I can not! Me! Still amazed.

Ok, off to touch my face up and find something to wear to work. Peace!
