While I was home over Memorial Day weekend, it was brought to my attention that a hummingbird had made its nest right outside the back door of my mother's house. I think my mother said it is an Anna's Hummingbird. The babies hatched just this past weekend and I'm hoping to get a picture of that or perhaps just a picture of the momma bird sitting in the nest. We'll see how that goes.I had been

More posts and knitting info was/is my New Year's resolution. This should count for something albeit, I did just come up with it and we are now in April. Call me a late bloomer.Things with Q are good, school hates me, my job is great and the fact that I have loads of time to knit makes up for the decreased wages. Speaking of knitting, I have a butt-load of projects on the burner. I'm ramping up

That being said I will rant on.This morning I woke up early because I needed to write a site description for my soils project (turning it in 3 days late).

That's what I paid per gallon today. $3-f-ing-75 per gallon of gas. I was on empty. That means, that with only $45 f-ing dollars in my pocket, saved up from 2 knitting classes, I didn't quite fill up my 13 + gallon tank.

Last night at around 1:30 am while watching a show on PBS about malaria, I finished Cherry Bomb. This top is from the yet to be released Big Girl Knits book by Jillian Moreno and Amy Singer. I think it comes out on the 15th or 19th of this month, I can't really remember which.

Oh yeah, and my computer took a MAJOR CRAPPOLA and is still not back to its original tip top shape. But alas, those are all excuses, but true I say.Enough with the wallowing.

Busy, busy and more busy. I realized I haven't had a day without obligations in over three, possibly four weeks. First there was the TNNA trade show, I moved weekend before last (see Lupine at the new house with Kia the puppy), last weekend I helped Q move and I had a soil physics field trip (pic later). Crap. Exam Wednesday, homework in two classes due Wednesday, two lab reports due next week.

Imagine this: New Year's Eve and no power in your town or the next one over. That is what happened here night before last. There was a huge storm and the power got knocked out at around 11 am in Eureka, Arcata, and McKinleyville. For all I know the power was out for all of Humboldt County. Being the resilient person that I am, I decided that we (Q, J, and myself) were going to go out and have a

Have you ever found yourself considering doing something and you wondered if it was worth the time or the effort? Last week my friend Jen and I were discussing New Year's Eve attire. We subsequently went to Michael's to check out the yarn and see what looked festive. The sale they had going was INSANE to the tune of several novelty yarns on sale for just over two bucks a skein.

My Dad, kind and generous man that he is, gave me money and I have purchased yarn, needles, knitting books/magazines and other fun stuff. Whee!

Here it is, the "Cables From Green Gables" beanie (I'm not sure what I'd call it if I had knit it out of a different color). I finished it several days ago but as is my style I got tired of the pattern, was running out of yarn, and tried to finish it early.

When I got to Java City I saw the two of them there and poor Ace was freezing his little butt off. I happened to have a dog blanket in my car. I brought it out so Ace could lay on it.

Went to Sacramento for Turkey Day and have absolutely no pictures to show for it (the picture of me to the right is from about a month ago). I didn't even take a picture of the beautiful cable knit hat that I made for my friend Tamala. It was a pretty green color made from Lion Brand Jiffy yarn. I was going to name it Cables from Green Gables. I'm making another one for Quentin.This is me signing

Here they are (at long last). The "Hooray For Me" gloves from Marnie MacLean's website. As some of you who have been keeping up know, I made these with the intention of keeping my wrists warm while I knit. Now that they are finished and all the ends are sewn in and I have taken them on a test run I have discovered something. The fingers of these "fingerless" gloves get in the way of my yarn

Now, you might think, by the title of this post, that I had a near miss in my car sometime in recent history and that that is what this post is about. You'd be wrong. This morning, I was so infuriated with Q that when I took off in a huff in my car, I was so pissed off that I had to scream. Don't think I enjoyed it either. I did it under great duress due to the fact that on Friday night I was

This morning I go out to my car and the window is frosted over. Shit. It is now so cold that the window is frozen. The only good thing is that my new scarf out of the Cirvinia Fiamma Yarn is finished. It is soooo cozy warm around my neck. Picture later.Can hardly wait for my class to get out so I can (1) go vote down all those stupid Aah- nold (imagine Austrian accent) propositions, (2)take

Thursday is my short day at school. I only have classes until 10am. After that I usually go over to MLYS and knit. Here are some of the people who were there this past Thursday. In the pink is Maddy. She has been weaving beanies on a loom for X-mas presents for family members. In this other picture she is modeling a hat/muff (the muff is going to get felted) combo that Janice is making for

As I pointed out yesterday, I have put completing the second Wyvern sock on hold because I'm trying to make a pair of Marnie MacLean's "Hooray For Me" gloves (see previous post for link to Marnie's site). Here is the first Wyvern. Done.I have to admit, I'm quite pleased with myself. I do have a couple of small holes on either side of my ankle but I'll just stitch them closed. Even though, as I

The yarn I ordered from eBay arrived yesterday and it is soooooo freakin' cool! It is Cervinia Fiamma! This is a thick and thin yarn. I have a scarf made out of t & t yarn that Q recently ruined in the dryer (hiss), so I went online and found this deal! Janice over at MLYS asked why I didn't get it in red or pink (she knows those colors are my fave). As some of you know, when you look for deals

Alrighty then. So yesterday I want over to MLYS and made Janice (the owner) pose with all of her most recent projects. Most people over at Handmade Memories are into felting these days. The bowl is cute and the pattern is by Debbie, the knitting teacher. The big bag is a rather large version of the Mason Dixon Buttonhole Bag. Way coolio. These dishcloth's were from a dishcloth of the month class.

I've been knitting for almost a week on these Wyvern socks (singular, sock actually). You can see I've turned my first heel (that's right, I'm a Bad Ass Knitter). Although I must admit, the heel is the same as the toe (short-row toe/short-row heel) so once I made it past the toe the heel wasn't daunting at all. I have been knitting this sock on two circulars and I have to tell you, it is WAY

Okey dokey. Here are the pictures of my progress thus far on the Wyvern pattern. I am actually in the process of undoing a couple of rows because I can't seem to figure out the difference between even and odd rows (duh!). Anyways, I have high hopes for this project. You can see I made it through the short row toe with success. If you look closely you can see Lily Cat preening herself. 'I love

Started a sock. The Wyvern pattern from Marnie MacLean's site. I could have done two at the same time but as it is I'm doing a million things at once. The cool thing was, it wasn't all new. When I did the aviator cap I learned how to do short rows (the toe of the sock is short rows). And, it called for a provisional CO which I had taught myself when I was trying to find a stretchy CO method for

This morning I woke up to take Q to work and I debated for awhile (about 3 seconds) about whether or not to put real clothes on, or just wear my PJ's and slippers. My Mom is from the "Put on clean underwear in case you get into an accident" school of thought. I always figured it was a silly rule.Point is, Q and I stop at the gas station place where they rape my pocket book to fill up my tank. He

Went out last night. The Clam Beach Inn was our first stop. Our wacky bartender Jesse is pictured here. He is from Sacramento just like me. I played some pool and Q talked to some folks. They told him about the Moose Lodge up the road. Apparently it is some sort of cool place with cool people and that we were cool and should go hang out. To myself I'm thinking, "Aren't Moose Lodges places where

So, counseling is hard. I didn't want to go today. I cry every day or so now.I get after myself all the time about school. Do I need to do more? Am I really just being lazy? I'm constantly freaking out about failing my classes in spite of the fact that I know point-wise I have an A in 3 of my classes and a B in one. I have made a habit of taking Fridays off.

For the first time in quite some time, I had a great weekend. The alternate feeling that accompanies a good long weekend is ennui, which doesn't really do very much for my standings in my classes.Thursday night I waited around for Q until about 7:15 pm. He didn't show up at the house so I took off to the local Indian Casino that has karaoke on Thursdays. I proceeded to get trashed and sing many

Sometimes I feel as though my life is some sort of sick joke. This morning I get a great parking spot right outside of the Natural Resources building (where my very early 8am class is held). Then, I see someone parking in this very small spot behind me. My car alarm didn't go off so I figured they cleared it without touching Ready (that is the name of my car). Well, after class I go look and sure

This past week, when my couselor pointed it out, I came to the sickening realization that I am not taking care of myself emotionally. I am focusing on what is wrong with someone else and ways to fix them when I really need to worry about me and what I want and what I need. Man, it was ugly when I heard myself say,"I guess I really just don't want to be with him (my boyfriend)." Woe is me. Anyways

Yesterday was my first time at the Stitch & Bitch here at my local yarn shop, Handmade Memories. This is the owner Janice. She was starting on a London Beenie with some new yarn she had just gotten into the store (I don't remember what kind of yarn, just some kinda yarn.)I was working on Buttonhole Bag 2.

The weather has turned decidedly cold and I no longer want to leave the house. I want to be at home, propped up against all the pillows with my kitty cats around and knitting in hand. I have this problem where all I want to do is knit. Not a problem? Ha!I am trying to get a job as a bus driver at school.

Here is a picture of the Buttonhole Bag unfelted. I came straight home from school and finished it. It's in the washer right now felting. I can hardly wait! This is what Lily Cat and Leon (he's the one on the left) look like when they have thier picture taken. I keep telling them to open their eyes but they get mad when I don't use natural light.

Thanks to Sarah for the feedback on the Buttonhole bag project. She also used the Cascade 220. I am almost finished with the bag (totally amazing considering I started it night before last) and am planning on making this my gift to all my family and friends since, as Sarah pointed out, it knits up quick!

I love this picture of Lily Cat and Lupine. They are usually so sweet with one another. Lily always gives Lupine little kisses and then Lupine tries to give Lily a big kiss; Lily won't have any of that.So, since the decrease in the number of classes I am taking I have had more time to think about...can you guess what it might be?

The day consisted of several bands and beer (hurray beer!). This is Q with Lupine, aren't they cute?It was sooo absolutely hilarious when I sent Q to get the beer. I said, "Hey, why don't you take

This sweater (my very first sweater, can you believe it isn't a scarf?) got started way back in July. It is all Garter Stitch or Stockinette (I forget which is which) and so I got bored with it.

It seems that my scarves will never end. I have been knitting the "Ugly Yarn Scarf" for what seems like forever. I recently brought it into the house from the garage though and even found my cable needle so I should have it finished and ready to wear, soon.Part of the whole, taking forever thing is that 1. I haven't been knitting due to excessive amounts of school, and 2. Scarves are cooler when

Yesterday morning after dropping of my boyfriend at work, I took Lupine to Muddy Paws. It is one of those do-it-yourself sort of dog wash places. Needless to say, Lupine's day was not off to a good start.

It is really quite amazing to me that since December, I have become a knitting nut. I might go as far as to say fiend (well, maybe).It all started when my cousin Bekka said she had to do a senior project. She decided on crochet since her Aunt Carla (my mother) could teach her how. Once I saw her doing it I got all jazzed about making a scarf because most of the scarves in stores are too expensive

Ugh! A month ago, I found this hat pattern by Jessica Minier Mabe that I was pretty excited about. It was my second knitting project. The first was Martha's "Coming Home" poncho (picture to come later, like after I wash the damn thing and try to shrink it since I thought it would be okay to make it with needles the next size up. I mean really, how much of a difference could 1mm in diameter make?

The new hat I just completed is called the Amelia Earhart Aviator Cap. The designer is Flor and I found it at the Head Huggers website. The hat looked cute in the website pictures. I actually checked my gauge before I started this one and it seemed to match. Though, if it isn't apparent by the pics, I'm here to tell you it is a little big. I don't think it is too much of a worry though since I

My boyfriend Quentin was saying he wanted a beenie. So, me, being the new knitter that I am, I decided to check for patterns online. I looked and looked for a mans beenie. Finally I settled on one that had a folded brim by Terri Lee Royea. Only problem was that Quentin didn't want a brim. So, I figured I'd make the pattern shorter. After completing the beenie, I tried it on and the bottom didn't

I am really not liking my life right now. I didn't get the friggin' summer internship I applied for. Bastards! The dude making decisions about it said somthing about GPA. I think it was a little of that and more of, "We haven't had you in any of our classes yet." Ugh. Freaking personal relationships. WHATEVER!

I want to send it back with a letter telling them to save tax payer money and not send me any more of their crap.Did I mention that W. is quite possibly the dumbest man on TV. Did I also mention how dumb the American public is?I guess I just did.

The one where he continually tries to break up with his girlfriend and she says,"I don't accept," or some such bullshit. Who'd a thunk it could happen in real frickin life?Crap.

Beach Thoughts McKinleyville is the new town I live in. I am here so I can attend Humboldt State University. Thus far it has been a great experience (give me another few weeks to change my tune). This little story is an assignment I had for my Oceanography class. We were supposed to go to the beach and talk about how we felt at the beach. This is what I came up with.... Noisy Calm

Procrastination I really do have it down to a science, waiting until the very last minute to be productive. Fall semester at CS U, Sacramento ended for me on the 14th of December. I have had all that time to get ready for my big move up North, square away my school information including financial aid, and apply for internships and scholarships. However, being the master of time wastage that

Psychics And Other Such Nonsense Now I'm a psychic (right). Just becuase I freak out pre-paper-due-date, does not mean that I predicted the tsunami of a lifetime! Moving on... Moving is becoming difficult. Few if any places in the Arcata/Eureka area are pet friendly. I mean, what a crock!

Have You Ever Seen A Tsunami That Size? Only one more week until the stinking semester is over. I have been in mild stress mode for the last couple weeks but it really got out of hand over the weekend. In what has become my typical fashion I was working on procrastinating on writing a paper for my environmental studies class when the tsunami hit. This is the same massive wave that hits every

So it is the final two week push until the end of the semester and I can't seem to get motivated. I can't remember when my downhill slide began specifically, but I think I can pinpoint the cause. I think it began when I came to the realization that Significant Other (SO and who shall forever remain unnamed and did I mention Jackass with a capital J) perhaps did not feel as strongly as I did, or

So, last night there was a "40 Party". As some of you may have already guessed, a "40 Party" is one in which everyone drinks 40 ounce bottles of beer, prefferably malt liquor. Started about 9 and went to about 2am. Today it rained so no 4th of July BBQ. It has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Instead I played cards with Kendra(one of the only people I talk to here), her friend Lizzy(who just

Well, just got done square dancing. I thought I was going to get to sit out on this REALLY long song. But then the crowd started chanting,"Knute! Knute! Knute! Knute!" (Knute is my internship mentor.) Anyways, he spotted me sitting by and watching the whole thing and made me go out and dance anyways. Whoooo! It was long and crazy. We did steps with names like "Swing Your Partner", "

The New Year has started and my dog is dead. Mina was my beautiful, almost 6 year old German Shepherd. She was diagnosed with hemangeosarcoma 3 weeks ago. The first outward sign was bleeding from her mouth a week before that. Mina was a great spirit and a great friend. We went on many road trips together and not only did she provide me with company and a sense of security, she also taught me

I am taking a class this semester called "College Success." It is a requirement to transfer to the univeristy that I have chosen to attend next semester. The class is a college sanctioned self-help seminar. The first two topics covered were Self-esteem and Personal Responsibility. The idea of being responsible for all of the choices I will make in my life was pretty scary at first. I have

Something has come to my attention recently. It is the word peace. Different people from almost opposite sides of the world say the word with very different connotations. With the events leading up to the resignation of Liberian President Charles Taylor there have been many occasions on the television where I have seen Liberians saying the word peace. I suppose it wasn't until I heard a news

I always hear people say that their mothers are the best mom's on the planet. The difference when I make the same statement is that it is the complete, god honest truth. I knew this for certain when we were driving to Sacramento from San Francisco. After being gone for 7 months it was good to know that some things never change.

I thought 5 beers would be enough to enter the dreamless bliss most people refer to as "passing out". Apparently I am too much of a practiced drinker to be sedated by a mere 5 beers.

Why is my subconscious so easily swayed by random images from my day? Last night was the final straw in the struggle between my conscious and subconscious mind. I can't take the drama. When I wake up I am left wondering if my early am visions are some clue into my psyche or the future. Is it my mind trying to tell me something about my past.
