I can knit slippers, now don't you want to have my babies

So I am going to be pretty busy/tired/cranky for the next couple of weeks. That is actually part of the reason why I have done three small entries rather than one large one. I have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time or finding time to write everything down. But this is the last entry... well, likely to be the last entry for the month. Yep! Its about knitting. I figured its alright since my last entry was all about big booty love.

This past weekend I was very productive: I moped all of the floors in my apartment, cleaned my fridge, figured out how to use the timer on my camera, and started a new knitting project. I started making slippers!! Woot woot. The pattern that I have is super easy. It is a really basic slipper that can easily. After I have finished knitting I get to sew on patches for the bottom so that I don't slide around. I need to figure out where I can buy nice suede.

If Bridget Jones is Fat Then I am Morbidly Obese

I was on my way to being reading Bridget Jones Diary when I stopped... pretty much on the first page. I realized that I weight more than BJ. Lame. Basically Bridget Jones thick. Not fat. Yea, if the author was black or latino the story would have been a lot different. Sure Bridget would have probably still had the same problem with men, but her mother would have commented on her weight right a way (I can't loose two pounds without my grandfather asking me if I am sick). I still love the books.

Other Updates:
1)I am trying to figure out if there is going to be anyway that I can actually take a vacation (a real one!) this summer.

2)I'm almost done making my first slippers. The problem is that I am using ugly yarn. Picture soon to come.

3)Recently I have learned that I am one of the few girls from my Middle School graduating class who doesn't have a baby. But I can't take care of a baby and don't want one right now so I'm ok. I just think that its weird.

4) Nextflix hates me right now

5) I love Revelry.com . I even found a fellow Wooster Graduate who lives in the Bayarea

6) I am really tired and I am really going to have to make my next blog entry a good one to make up for this lameness.

Hot Damn! I think that I might hear something by Monday if not sooner.

Don't worry, this is not going to become a knitting blog...

I promise that this will not become one of those knitting blogs where all I do is talk about how knitting has taken over my life and how I seem to only attend knitting related events... or even worst how I make everything a knitting related event by bringing a bag of yarn to inappropriate places! There are lots of those out there. Instead I plan on keeping my posts the same as always but with a few additional posts about yarn, needles and kitting books that no one (other than other knitters) would actually care about.


List of Inappropriate places to knit (Part I)


-The bus
-2 Cafes (once while eating carrot cake, always while drinking a vanilla Italian soda)
-Walking back to work after my lunch break (there are advantages to keeping projects in large freezer bags)
-Sitting in my closet (it was the only thing that made me happy while I realized that I had a tone of crap to throw out)
-My cubical (what? it was an emergency!!!)
-While on a date. (Let me correct myself. I bought yarn just before the date and had to hide it in my purse. The four balls of yarn were so big that I had to take my wallet, cellphone and chap stick out so that I would avoid exposing my secret.)

With that said, let me tell you about the problems with knitting on the bus and in cafes. Sure I feel special when people ask me what am I knitting or when I make eye contact with a fellow knitter but the whole traveling knit thing can be expensive. I lost a whole set of stitch markers! I personally can't believe it! I just hope that I can find them one day.
