hello, lovely

Amalah is having her baby!!! Well, they went to the hospital last night, anyway. THAT IS SO COOL!

I’m so excited for her!

Okay, I’m sure there are things for me to post about, but I really can’t think of anything except the fact that my 25TH BIRTHDAY is in LESS THAN A MONTH!

Is that not CRAZY?!? Joe’s visiting for my birthday, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I updated one of my wishlists cuz I got a couple things on it.

I received my first secret pal present so sometime this weekend or next weekend I’ll be sitting down and attempting that. I’m excited & also scared. lol waht if i screw it up!? lol. i’m still waiting on a couple of things for my pal’s first present.

time to organize one of my yarn bins and watch Joey (bleh. sucks) and Will & Grace (eee!), and then watch a movie. very exciting stuff, huh? knitting will also be involved because i’m just that cool.

time to figure out what the hell i’m having for dinner.

So here I am at approximately 1:30am listening to everything I have in iTunes currently on shuffle (Currently: STP - Wicked Garden) and cleaning. Well, I started cleaning anyway. Until I tackled the yarn boxes to make them a bit more organized. It looks like I’m going to do a small amount of destashing. I have some things that I think my friend Teresa might like now that she’s knitting again (muhaha. I’ve rubbed off on her now that I see her almost everyday. That and she’s completed a couple projects), so I’m going to give her first dibs then either post on KP or ebay them. We’ll see.

(Currently playing: Green Day - Walking Contradiction) Speaking of this song, they didn’t play it at my concert. Joe’s supposed to be calling me when his concert’s done/when he gets home, but I don’t know if he’ll actually call. He’ll promise to call, but if it’s after a time he thinks is too late, he won’t. Or he will, I’ll sleep through it, and he’ll whisper into the voicemail like he’s afraid he’s going to wake me up. LOL

(Currently playing: Green Day - Church on Sunday. LOVE THIS SONG)
I finished a Lacy Round washcloth, and I started another plain one. I’m 3 away from my 10 that I intend to send to Cloths for Katrina. I also knitted a bunch more on Misty Garden.

My hermit weekend was slightly interrupted. I found out I was out of TP (thought I still had at least 1 roll), so I had to run to the store, so I walked up to Walgreens & got TP and paper towel (out of that too, and I was out, so why not?) and a couple other things I probably didn’t really need…and a report cover thing for one of my SP6 presents.

As for movie watching, so far I have watched The OC: Season 2, disc 3 and Guess Who?. Guess Who was really cute. BTW - Bernie Mac is a leftie, so I officially like him more than I did before.

What else can I ramble about? I dunno. But I know I’m getting kinda tired. I have two more yarn boxes to go through (managed to organize one this morning and two tonight), and I found a couple circs to add to my needle binder.

I didn’t do any laundry tonight, so I have to do some of that tomorrow. I also need to finish cleaning up the living room, and then I’ll be happy. Oh, and watch the rest of my movies (A Home at the End of the World, Hostage, and Suspect Zero).

We didn’t get any rain from Rita. I’m disappointed. :/ But we got lots of wind and some clouds. Better than nothing, I guess. My friend Damian lives in Beaumont, as well as a couple people on my knitting list. I know the knitters made it out, so I hope he and his family made it out all safe and sound.

Anyway.. nightnight time.

I am enjoying my hermit weekend so far. I woke up at 5am as if my alarm went off (it didn’t), so I went back to sleep. I woke up at 7:30, said “nooooooo” and slept until 8am.

I took the trash out (3 trips. i had some big boxes), and now I’m sitting here.

The plan this weekend is to watch all my Netflix movies, clean, do laundry if it’s not raining too much, and knit. as. much. as. humanly. possible. I hope to finish at least ONE project, but considering I have 15 of them currently on the needles, if I can finish more than one… that’d be GREAT! lol.

I”m gonna go continue to be hermitish.
happy weekending!

Am I the only one who is amused by the fact that the newest bitchy hurricane is just one big alcoholic drink? Hurricane (a drink I’ve never had) ‘Rita (short for margarita… which I have had. yum). lol.

in all seriousness, though, i hope anybody who wasn’t smart enough to evacuate or can’t evacuate or whatever and gets hit by this storm is okay. we don’t need another Katrina-like catastrophe. (and may Dallas get lots, but not too much, of rain out of this thing)

I totally just bought my groceries online to have them delivered Saturday so I can still get groceries and accomplish my “I am not leaving my apartment!” plans for this weekend.

How nerdy am I?

it’s all about randomization here at hello, lovely today.

i didn’t go to my mom’s today because i intended to go grocery shopping and do oodles of laundry and bake and clean and organize my yarn. well, i went grocery shopping. and i cleaned a few sections of the livingroom, so i can’t say i didn’t accomplish anything. i also finished a scarf tonight, and started another Christmas present tonight. i also ordered tc’s present. i had what i needed for her, but i have 4-5 projects to knit for her, even if she doesn’t know it. but i was searching around, and i found this other thing that SHE HAS TO HAVE NO MATTER WHAT. so i ordered that along with a present for my secret pal and a present for me. well, not really for me. it’s a basic sock pattern thing that i think might be good for my lorna’s laces yarn. i only have enough for 3 pairs, with about $300 worth on one of my wishlists of more colors I eventually want to get and knit for myself and other people. lol.

for those of you who are or are not aware of my upcoming birthday (october 28th, dear friends of mine!), i’ve posted wishlists on the sidebar. these are mostly for myself and for Teresa because she asked what I wanted. i don’t really want anything since Joe’s visiting, and he’s all I’ve wanted to have on a birthday since we got together, so anything else is just a bonus. the lists are also posted for curious passers-by. i love looking at other people’s wishlists.. so in case there’s another person out there like me, well, there you go.

let’s see? what else? oh, go check out Morgan Clamp. he messaged me on MySpace a few days ago, and I went to listen to his stuff. it’s pretty good. at least, i think so. you can download his songs on itunes or order his cd from his website, but it’s good stuff. i recommend it.

oh, in regards to my last post - things are good with joe. he put the phone down so i could write my email and pretty much fell asleep. his phone was on silent so he didn’t notice it when it rang. lol. oh well.

oh. also, in case you didn’t notice. new layout. this is called Red Train, and I got it from the Wordpress Theme Browser (i think it’s on alexking.org somewhere. do a google search for Wordpress Themes and it’s one of the top ones, if not the #1 result.). I lurve it. I downloaded a bunch of them from there (the last theme was there too) lately. they’re pretty neat. cuz i’m too lazy to figure out how to work the darn thing myself.

i was going to do tc’s site to, since i was in the mood not to accomplish any of the things i need to do, but the links she sent me to templates and layouts are at work. :/ cuz that’s where she emailed me & i never forarded them on. suck.

okok, that’s it. I’m going to go back to knitting and talking to Joe.
g’night!

bored.

i was talking to joe, but he decided to ignore me after i yelled at him, and now he’s purposely not answering the phone. i was typing up an email, and he’s like “IS IT GOoD OR BAD?!?!” and i’m like, i don’t know. it’s just an email. and he’s like IS IT GOOD OR BAD?!?! EVERYTHING iS Good OR BAD!!” .. he was trying to be cute, i just wanted to type my email. so i’m all “I DON’T KNOW! IT’S JUST AN EMAIL!!!” so then he put the phone down or just decided not to respond, and now he’s not answering when i call ..

suckage. i wanna talk to him

anyway. i’ve been knitting up a storm.
that seems to be all i’ve been doing lately.

i have a to-do list, but i can’t seem to remember anything right now, so i’m not going to post it.

is it friday yet?

I really, desperately, need to post something of substance here. That’s hard though when I don’t have anything of substance to post. I’m still working on photos from my trip a week and a half ago, and I’ve been knitting up a storm, but that’s what the knitting blog is for. I haven’t even posted there very much except for a few photos of some Cloths for Katrina.

I’m here. I promise. I’m just a little bored, and nothing has been happening lately.
