Jersey Girl Back in Jersey!! ....Oh SHIT!!

LOL!!!

Well I am visiting my fam in NJ. Its been fun. Had a family reunion on Sunday and can't show you pics because my camera doesn't have an attachment to this laptop. :( BOO cause I have some great pics. There was family there that i haven't seen since I was in diapers. Shhh i actually started crying. I know my cousin Michael, the last time I saw him was his wedding, at least the last time the I remember, and I only remember that because when the wedding was almost done my grandmother fainted and that was the first of her illness. :(

Anywho... my dad is supposed to take Shade and Myself to the zoo today but his house flee Linda wants to go along even though she KNOWS I want to spend time with just the 3 of us...well she also KNOWS I hate her guts but is pretending I don't so we can "get along" The reason we don't get along is a long story going back to me coming back to the east coast. WOW just writing that got me pissed off, I think I need to get a punching bag or something!!!! So I hope he comes over soon with some good news about us going. I won't hold my breath though.

As for crafting I have been doing the FREAKING soccer afghan. Still have a few more rows of motifs to do, plus some half hexagons. Couldn't find any patterns, weirdly enough, so i designed one and it fits perfectly. Go Monet!!

I have done some spinning too. I was doing some dkKnits merino/tencel roving but every five seconds its dropping off. :( Its just freaking slippery. And I'm using my .75 ounce spindle for the first time but after Becky explaining some things I think I'm not gauging the staples of the Merino and Tencel properly. I'll get back to it one day. So i picked up just some plain merino and its going GREAT. :) i know there are still some bumps and bruises in the yarn but I'm damn proud of it. :P I also think that my mom and dad are going to go in together to get my my Kromski Sonata spinning wheel. :) Wouldn't that be awesome!!!

Oh well, my little cookie face woke up...


Talk to you all later!!
