Okay, This One's Not About Knitting

It was a rough weekend physically and emotionally. I'm ready for this weekend, even if it means I have to sit in hours worth of traffic to get out of here. I missed knitting two weeks in a row due to moving into my new apartment. I hope to be able to make it next week.

A LOT has happened these last two weeks. I don't think I could be happier if I tried. I came to realize that the only thing my mother will be happy with are the things I do that are her suggestion/idea. She hated my apartment and my new friend even though he drove 6 hours to help me move. Man, if I was unsure about his intentions, I'm not anymore!! *giggle*

Dad thought he was great, even in the little time we spent with Dad. I KNOW they will get along and Dad's opinion is the one that counts the most right now. I've about had it with my mother and her sneaky ways. Yeah, I bet she reads my blog, too, to see what's going on because I won't tell her every little thing that's going on in my life. When I refrain from doing that, she thinks I've gone astray and need her help to get back on track. I'm 34 FFS! (If you don't know what that means, you probably don't want to.) I've got to be an adult at some point in my life and she seems to think I need her help to be one.

Alright, enough about that...

So the AFGHAN OF DOOM is coming right along. I'm making some more dish clothes for myself. I LOVE the one that I'm using that someone made me. I can't wait to try them all out! They're awesome!

So, I finally slept in my bed for the first time last night. I was sleeping on an air mattress in the living room until I got some of the boxes and bag put away. I still have more shit to pick up at the condo, but that's going to take some time. I want the tax write off so I'm taking my time downsizing considerably!! Need to make sure I have room, just in case. *giggle* OH OH OH and SHE was bitching about all the yarn I have. She bought MOST OF IT FOR ME FFS!! *SIGH* Sorry, just had to throw that in there. I'm sure my stash is pathetic compared to some of y'alls!! *sigh*

Okay, enough complaining. I'm still happy as a clam and hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend hope to see everyone next week at the knitting group!

The Afghan of DOOM!

At least that's what I think Nina called it. Yes, folks, I am INSAIGN! (I spelled it incorrect on purpose, don't ask me why!) Okay, so apartment hunting and commissary trips prevented me from attending these last two weeks and BOY did I miss it!! Everyone looked so good! All the projects looked awesome! I just LOVE the toe socks!! I can't wait to see how the lace pattern turns out!! I need to start my exchange socks at the end of next month, so I need get cranking on this AFGHAN OF DOOM!

Yes, I am insaign. So, yes, I'm dating this guy from Cleveland. I mean, he lives in Cleveland. *sigh* Long distance relationships just suck, but I always manage to wind up in one every now and then. He's DA BOMB, though. I couldn't be happier!! So, I'm making him this intarsia Ohio State logo blanket. Yes, I'm insaign. Not only that, but I try and drive up as often as I can. As soon as I get an apartment, he will drive down and see me, too. *giggle* Hence the push to find an apartment!! So, here's the chart and part of the blanket. We have a running joke that I commute to VA every week for work. I wish I didn't have to, but time will tell what will happen. I'm gonna try my damnedest to keep this one. He treats me like a queen. I HONESTLY couldn't be happier! So, here's the logo that the chart is based on. Yes, the chart is 33 squares per inch. It doesn't look THAT small to me!! *giggle*

Okay, so I just checked my voicemail from Friday and I WAS APPROVED AND GOT THE APARTMENT! I have no idea when I move in, but I can't wait!! Of course, I need to find peeps to help me move because I have NO ONE here to help out. Guess I may have to shell out for some starving students to help me move my furniture. That's all I would need help with. All the other stuff I can take piece meal. I'm thinking the furniture will take at least a day to deal with. I just hope it all fits so I don't have to put any in storage. That would defeat the purpose. I'll just have to see how it all works out.

So this blog wasn't so much about knitting this time. Guess life just comes out eventually in any blog. *giggle snort*
