Whoa- what a week.

Sooo.... where to begin... Thanksgiving- Mommy and I went to Vegas to visit family. Such a blast- we ate a lot of food and got our hair done. I'm very blonde right now. I'll put pictures up once I get my camera back again. Oh, guess what- I FOUND A BATTERY!!! But then I lost my camera... Then I FOUND IT AGAIN!! But it's still at Rose's... :) haha

So after spending some fun time with family in Vegas, we took a whole day to travel home. First it started in the Vegas airport... We sat there waiting for the plane, eating our breakfast when my mother realized something... Our flight got canceled. Yeah, they canceled our flight. So my mother went up to the counter and asked, what's going on? How is our flight just canceled? We have another plane to catch! Yeah, so our first plane was supposed to fly us to Phoenix, then we would get a plane to Pittsburgh from there. Well, instead of doing that, they put us on new flights. We'd fly from Vegas to Boston, Boston to Pittsburgh. We met quite a cute guy in Boston, who just happens to go to the same school as my cousin from Vegas! So we chatted with him for a while in Boston, then got on the 40 minute flight from Boston to Pittsburgh. This was a scary flight for mommy. It was thunder storming, and there was lots of turbulence. Then there was some lightning towards the end and it really scared her. But once the plane landed and we were walking off the plane onto the hallway thing you walk through and--- it just smelled light home. Yes it was raining, but that's home for ya. It just smelled beautiful! We were finally home. So we got down to baggage claim and waited around for out luggage. I love pulling luggage off the thing. It makes me feel so strong- especially when you see the buff guys having trouble when I just pull them off like they're little pillows. It might be cuz of work and me lifting all those trays, but I just enjoy it. But the thing was in Pittsburgh, they never came!! That's right, they lost our luggage. So my mother made me run around the luggage thingy like 3 times then she finally decided to go and tell them that they had lost our luggage. We got their phone number and would call back around 11- 11:30. During the time that my mother was talking to the people in there, I got to chat with the Boston guy. He was super sweet and just talked to me the whole time <<33 Well, after that lovely chat I had with the Boston boy- we got picked up and went to Rose's for a little welcome home party- this is where I lost my camera. I'll get it back soon- and that's when I'll post the pictures from Thanksgiving.

On to knitting news...
I did take pictures of my knitting when I was away and I got quite a lot done! The socks that I'm making- they are already 4 1/2"!!! That's how long they are now, I've just measured them, but I got a lot done in Vegas as well. I aslo finished a hat, on the plane out there. Yeah, on the plane! haha, it was so funny- one of the flight attendents was also a knitter! YAY KNITTERS!! haha- and she was so impressed with the finished hat, and of course I will show off my work :). I also started a scarf while I was on the plane. And I finished up all my yarn on that project, the first day! Yeah, I'm that quick- or that's how quick a mistake rib goes. While we were there, we had a mini-Christmas!! Just like I said- and let's just say that my knitting went over very well. Along with my homemade Steeler blanket that my Uncle just LOVED.

Now time for the Whoa part of my week. So Tuesday-- first day back to school- goes well, then I come home, rest a bit, and get ready for dance. Before dance, mother and I went to Chick'fil'a. I do like this restaurante- my mother and I won free food for a year there! So we go often. So after dinner, I went to dance- it was a very good dance class for me this week. Especially for me missing like 2 weeks of dance witht the break- it felt like 2 weeks. But once I got home, I had an awful stomach ache. Then just had bad visits to bathroom. Then throughout the whole night- the toilet and I, we really got to know each other very well. Too well for my liking. After a painful night of that- I woke up very week Wednesday morning- and still white as a ghost. It took me a while to accept that I haven't threw up in a while, and actually try and eat something. By the end of the day I did have some rice and crackers. I also had some liquids. But then I went to bed. But when I woke up this morning- I felt a ton better. I actually had breakfast- but skipped lunch- just some toast. Then when my mother came home, she made some kit-reed's and more rice, with gravy this time. She gave me big portions, so it took me more to eat it, but I did eat a good share. Right now I'm just getting more rest and trying to eat some more, while getting hydrated more.

I'll update you on other stuff once I get that camera back! <<33 peacie :)

Why?

Why do I keep blogging on MONDAYS!? Of all the days in the week, I pick Monday.. I don't know why- but here are some updates...

I have finished the weather wear to warm a certain boy in need that goes to college in a colder area then the one he mostly grew up in ;) & have started the socks, YES SOCKS! (not like her's exactly, but roughly-) for the uncle who lives in a city with one of our cities most biggest rivials!

Ok- does anyone know who I'm talking about??? If no, GOOD. I was going for that, just in case they actually read these, but I honestly don't think they do.

Well, I am again, SUPER EXCITED, for Vegas (Remember those cute guys who robbed the casino's?? I love looking at the water there too! ) on Wednesday. Not so pumped to leave my house around 6 or 5:45 AM!! But, super excited to see some family. I haven't asked what I will be doing after turkey day, but I'm sure there could be some time to go find a Vegas Knitting store... :) We'll see. But I'm pretty sure I will be getting my hair cut & colored the day I get there! So if you forget what my hair looks like... It'll be different when I get back :) lol~~

I'm off to go finish up my laundry for the trip- I'll be packing tonight and tomorrow night. I've set a limit of only taking 3 projects. What do you think?? Too many? Not enough?? I'll be gone for almost a week.... Let me know, cuz I most definately do NOT want to run out of knitting to do. (6" ribbing for a sock, a beanie hat, & a new square for Bloomin's)

<<33

Excitement!

Well, I don't know if anyone of you know, but I'm going to VEGAS for Thanksgiving! :) I do have relatives out there that I haven't seen in like forever! Mommy and I are very pumped. We are getting our hair done, having a mini Christmas, and hanging with familiy and eating until we just can't eat no more! :) <<33

Onto knitting news... I have been knitting probably more than sleeping ;) . I stayed up last night watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding while knitting the square I am working on for Bloomin's current project. It's a blanket with all these different patterned squares and I have the V one. It has like a pacman kind of thing on it going upward. I like knitting it and I stayed up 'til midnight knitting it. :) I am also knitting another hat. One to match one of the scarves I have done for a fella I know is freezing in his new climate. I must find a good glove pattern. One with or without fingers. But it must be male approved or something along those lines. Any suggestions are welcome!

Now I must be getting ready to go to rehearsal! I actually have some acting now. I am a reporter... who gets very confused, but smiles and sings anyway. I get to stand right in front of my daughter! Did I mention I have a daughter?? In the show silly, don't drop your jaw. I'm actually going to another show with my half sister I think, from the show. lol, the family tree from Bye Bye Birdie is getting complicated. I should right this all down... - :) <<33 laters

That's Right Folks.

Uh huh, I have finished 3 projects over my four-day weekend. Very proud of myself. I have two hats completed for presents and a scarf. I am on a roll. I have already started the other hat. And guess what I'm doing.... Stripes!!! Stripes are amazing things. I can't wait to show them off! My mother has already requested that she wants a striped hat. She has no complained that the hat I have made her is no good. :'( It really hurts when someone says that. I already finished one of her gifts, and I'm thinking a striped hat might be there other or fingerless gloves. FYI for the ones who read this and wondering if my mother reads this- she usually doesn't. Sometimes she will, but not usually. Good thing too. And by the way- don't mention it to her! :)

I had dance today- love love love dance. And got to sell more candy! :) I also got to watch Beauty & the Beast with my good friend Emily- and guess what we did WHILE watching?!? KNITTING!!! Oh yes, I have converted a good friend into a good knit and watch tv bud. I'm so happy. :)

OK, at the end of the long weekend, I must realize reality- I have homework to do... And this is keeping me from it.. <<33 laters~

WOOO!!! :)

I have finished TWO projects in one night! I totally rock my own socks right now. Finishing a project makes me so happy and honestly makes me start like 4 more. :) The scarf that I was doing length ways turned out so nice and thank you Heather, for thinking of Pom-poms on the ends. It looks beautiful!! I'm thinking about one for myself- in different colors of course. And the hat that I finished for one of the boys looks really good. Thought that I might had made it a little too long, but it should be a good fit for him. And for the new projects- I have started a cute little change purse in a changing purple/pink color, should be really pretty. The pattern is from the Knit.1 Green issue and I have also started a pink fun fur like scarf, just to have for back-up as a gift I just forgot to make. :) Well- I have rehearsal soon, then work, while watching the PENS game. But before I leave you with this tiny little blog to read- here's Heather's recommendation book- "The Kids' Fun-Filled Question & Answer Book" - I looked through it a little and it has some cool facts in it. Here's one that is kind of past the holiday but just interesting: The Question- Why do people dress in costumes on halloween? The answer is because people in England would prepare themselves for winter dark days with a festival. They had bonfires and did animal sacrifices. ew. They apparently susspected that evil spirits were roaming around, so they dressed up in scarey costumes to get rid of them. Well, that's it. There are lots of other questions, but I must go get ready for reahearsal <<33 :)
