Update

So things have been interesting. I've finished a pretty good amount of projects and that's made me happy, but it's all because of the Harry Potter Knit and Crochet House Cup (HPKCHC) on Ravelry.

I have no finished my shawl yet...that kinda went on hold after the sorting and new classes for HPKCHC.

I was sorted into Slytherin! And I'm also on the Quidditch team as a beater! It's all very exciting.
Here is what I've been working on!

For Ancient Runes I'm working on a Rose filet.


For Charms I'm working on Quetish's House Crest bag (in slytherin colors of course)


For Herbology I made a super cute mandrake with an Ipod!


I made a really neat hat for Arithmancy (fibonacci sequence anyone???)


A washcloth with a Dalek on it for Muggle studies.


And a sweet hat that I can stick my ponytail out of for Defense Against the Dark Arts


And...I have also started an OWL. This is a 3 month long project. Hopefully I will be able to get cracking at this soon.


Other than all that crazy stuff things are going well.

Lauren finished her sweater! I have been mentoring her while she is learning the Mattress stitch (i think that's the name...invisible stitch up the side of a sweater?) And she did a great job! Here's a picture of her with her sweater! (now that it's finally getting warm outside...she just needs to add some kewl buttons.)


And...I lied...there is more...

I had an allergy test today. This is what my arm looked like 30 min after the test was finished...it's all shiny from the lotion they used to help make the itching go away.

I have found out that I am allergic to grass, weeds and TREE POLLEN! all the spots on the top row that are big are from tree pollen. The largest one on the right is from Birch trees. I now understand why I was so miserable. (thank goodness we too our birch down this last weekend)

I also got some shoes from this great Lady named Bobbi from HPKCHC. She gave them to me just because they didn't fit her feet and they do fit mine. She will be getting some yummy yarn in the mail soon!

pink isn't usually my color, but these are super sexy shoes and they will get some use!

That's all for now!

TWC and other stuff

So we're finally getting internet at our house! That means I'll be able to post more often.

That's if the internet works. We've used Time Warner in the past and they haven't done the best job. For almost an entire month we had some super shotty internet service. I didn't work early in the morning or after about 9 at night. If they were trying to do something to fix other problems it would have been nice to know about it.

I had a few mornings where I needed to finish a little something on the computer and all of the sudden the internet would crap out on me. It was really frustrating and stressful. I guess I don't really have that problem anymore. I'll have school, but it's going to be a lot easier now that I won't be at MSOE.

I really want to get a new computer, but it doesn't look like I'll have enough money for that. It would be great because Steve's computer is kinda dying. I've been keeping a look out for computer deals. I check nearly everyday, but I still haven't found anything really worth throwing $600 at. Anything less than that really isn't a quality computer. I'm not looking to spend a whole lot of money, but reviews online are very helpful. It's nice to look at what other people have to say about things and then hop over to the store and buy it.

I really can't follow a logical train of thought this morning. My friend Erin might be coming over for dinner tomorrow night. That should be fun. I hope that the guy from Time Warner is gone by then. I've heard they have a tendancy to show up late. Like 2 hours after their scheduled time. I really don't want that to be the case tomorrow. I'd like to have that all done before dinner is ready. He's supposed to come from 3-5 sometime, so if he is there on time he'll be gone before 6 without a problem.

We have a guy coming to service our air conditioner tomorrow too. That'll be around 1:00. I have to remember to have Steve write out that check for me. That should be a blast.

I should probably get back to work for a while. Maybe I'll have to write more later. I finished another knitting project, so now that I'm going to have internet I'll be able to post a picture of it!! yay! That'll be a good thing. I'll start to online scrap book my creations!!! woohoo!! OK, toodles.
