Birthday!!

Yes, I am one year older- and unlike Heather here, I don't have that old album, haha. But, I will be getting that new camera. A digital camera. SOON!!! But not yet.

Alright, so yesterday was my real birthday and I had ta go to school. I was in the middle of Chem class, and all of a sudden- my vision goes hay-wire. This means one thing, a migraine. I usually only get these once or twice a year. This year, on my birthday. Sucks, but I got through it. Just put my head down in the next class, which was study hall, and for the next period as well, which was orchestra. My teachers both understood, and that was very lucky on my part. Well, after those two periods, there is only one more. And during 8th period I would find out the results of who would be continuing onto the General Election...... and sadly no, I will not be continuing on to be a possible Treasurer. That's alright tho- I will still gladly show up to the meetings and help with whatever way I can. :) So, after we found out the results, we got to leave. I got to roam the halls with some of my new found friends that also ran for an office, but didn't make it like myself. After we roamed for a while, the bell finally rang and I meet my friend Lukey- we went to his locker, then rehearsal! This is where my birthday got better. My good friend Emily got me a cookie cake! And everyone was like, "Happy Birthday, can I have cake? " Haha, I actually did turn a few people down, but mostly everyone got cake. Surprisingly, Greenwalt didn't have them sing for me. I guess once in choir is enough? Well, I would've enjoyed it again. I'm one of the ones that likes to get sung to. It's pretty! Especially when it's in choir and there's harmony and melody, it's just so pretty.

After rehearsal, I invited a few of my friends over for cake and ice-cream. We watched a movie, gabbed and ate way too much food! Haha, but it was fun. I liked watching the movie, keep in mind I still had a migraine through all of this- and the movie was a calming movie that I could just sit back and relax, and yes, you knew it would come- KNIT!

Knitting News--

The Baby Eyelet Blanket, IS COMPLETE!!!!!
~~pictures will be available when I get the camera

My Youth Director's Birthday Hat--
~~his birthday is Monday, and I have bible study on Tuesday- so I'll have it finished by then. The hat is a 2x2 rib and grey/black/deep blue colorways. Very pretty, but still masculine and will go with his eyes. haha

Steelers Socks
~~I honestly don't know where I've put those things... AHHH- I have to look for them!!

Cherry Tree Hill Socks
~~They go in my back-pack and my purse every now and then, but they are coming along.

Felted Bowl
~~I have not felted it yet, but once I do, it'll be very cute!! haha

Kelsey's Birthday (Christmas?) Scarf
~~Haha, yes- the scarf that I was going to give her for Christmas, IS FINALLY FINISHED!! :)

I'm sure I have other knitting- but I just can't think of it right now. Haha :)

HAPPY SWEATER DAY!

YAY! it's sweater day, I am wearing a grey sweater, or maybe a blue one... Haha, haven't decided yet because I'm still in my Pj's. Well, other good news, ANOTHER RUFFLE IS COMPLETE!!! And I'm working on the next! At this rate, I will hopefully have the last ruffle finished for tomorrow- when I go to Bloomin's. The sad note on this, no one from Knit Night at Borders will be able to see my beautiful creation... BUT I'M GOING!!! THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS!! I've seen Celtic Queen twice this week, and every time we part, she makes sure that we are both going to Borders- haha. Her boys like to tell me stories too. Just imagine if I babysat for those boys, I'd be able to write books! Haha, see you at Borders!

HAPPY SWEATER DAY!!!

KNITTING- on break~~

HELLO!!! Well, I have awesome news! I get to go to Friday Night Knit Night at BORDERS THIS WEEK!!!! WOOOO!!!! I requested off and am totally pumped already. And, as always, I will be stopping in at Bloomin's on Sunday- I do this every week and it's where I get the jist of my knitting done.

This is my spring break week too! {note the on break~~} So I get to sleep in, get my hair cut and colored- FINALLY!- and possibly go shopping at forever21. Overall, a great week is planned. :)

~~~~~~~~THE KNITTING NEWS!~~~~~~~
The baby blanket for the shop- I have finished one ruffle and it is BEAUTIFUL! Still have 3 more ruffles to go, and can't wait to sew them up and display it everywhere.

The STEELERS socks- They are SOO close to being done! I'm so excited to see them all finished, but I have been distracted once I read a pattern in the One Skein book when I stopped in at Borders to get my KnitOne magezine, that wasn't there.

Which leads me to the next project- a felted BOWL. Yes, a bowl. I am very excited about this one. I don't know how many of you know this, but felted items, like purses and slippers and etc, they just don't look appealing to me, but this felted bowl looked so cool, I just had to do it.
I had off of work this Thursday and got to go to Bloomin's. Saw Dee there! Apparently the both of us haven't been to Knit Night in a while, but we both agreed we're really going to try to go to the next one. But anyway, I got a skein of my favorite cascade 220 in a swampy kind of green along with a ON SALE mohair/crystal palace yarn. They look SO good together it's just going to look awesome! I got it Thursday, I have probably most of it done right now.

I also have been working on my Cherry Tree Hill socks- Everytime I bring them out, everyone looks at the yarn and says, it's so pretty. I just smile, and can't wait to have them on my feet :)

Well, that's all for now- I most likely have more projects in my bag, but for now, that's all I can remember. Now I must go get ready for work!

DON'T FORGET TO STOP AT BLOOMIN'S ON SUNDAY!!! :)

YAAWWWWNNNN~~~

Haha, yes I know you have just yawned because that is my titled, but I'm tired, and just had to let you know.

SAT's are finally over! The fire alarm went off TWICE during testing, but they're over. I don't really want to cancel my test scores, because I don't want to go back, but I'm pretty sure I'm going back no matter what.

KNITTING~ I am trying to find time to knit. And REALLY trying to finish these projects I have lying around. I finished this BEAUTIFUL mistake rib with some Loft & Dive yarn from Bloomin's. It's been in the basket for a while- and I've been itching to wear it. It is so delicious. I will try to show it off the next time I wear it. Haha~ I have also been working on the knitting that I have going for the shop. The baby blanket is coming along really well- just a few more ruffles and it'll be COMPLETE! When do I get this knitting in? Oh yes, Sunday's at Bloomin's. Once again, I am working on a Friday Night Knit Night- I'M SORRY!!! If we get done early- I will so try to stop by- but I have work :'( {that's a crying smile}. BUT I usually get the car Sunday's and stop by to say hi to Joyce for a few hours. This is probably what keeps me sane during the week. Without the little time set aside for this breathing time, I'd be crazy!!

Well, SAT's are over, but the business is not. I still have Blue Books, and I'm still in the running for Treasurer. We haven't even had the Primary's yet! I want to see how far I can make it in this. So I'm going to go finish those two things up- along with cleaning my room.

STOP BY AT BLOOMIN'S ON SUNDAY IF I DON'T MAKE FRIDAY BORDERS!!! <<33

~~~I miss all of you from Friday!! I'm just so busy---
