Yay! :)

Oh, i'm so glad i got comments! :)

I miss everyone so much, and i'm working the main dinning room, so maybe i'll be able to get out early and stop by. I'd love to see everyone!! :)

Well, i'm gunna put up pictures... they're not mine, but i'll give them caption to think they're mine-- haha:) just having fun in 1st period study hall---

I found this van in the upper parking lot this morning!!! Someone might think they're hiding something on top of it....

My cats do this all the time, it doesn't matter if it's yarn, fresh laundry, an important paper, my pudge babe always just lays right over it. {note: this is not my cat in the picture.}

I like these! I think these would be cute Christmas gifts. Instead of knitting all those hats and socks {and think about it, socks really take twice as long as you think because you have to do it twice- unless you know the way to do two socks at a time...} and sweaters-- just make something for yourself, maybe the hubby or whoever is special to you at that time of year, then use the extra that you had left over and stuff it in a new bulb! How perfect would that be?? I'd get a silver sharpy and write some kind of Christmas-y saying {ex: 'Hope' 'Peace' 'Love' then a little note on the back that's a heart and my name with some knitting needles drawn on.}

Ok-- who liked the pictures???

I've never said this, but it looks like i have too much time on my hands{i finished my 10th scholarship essay so i think it's ok- 1 more to go!}... I really want to try doing those Christmas bulbs though, wouldn't those be cute?? For a quick gift that you forgot to knit, it'd be pretty sweet i think. Pretty affordable too.

Alright- i think i'll get off now, knit a little bit of my leg warmer and try to finish charging my ipod on a school computer. I can't believe that haven't blocked me for a blog yet.

SiLENCE!!! i kill you-

If you don't know who Jeff Dunham or Achmed are--- got search it on YouTube, i think i really could be blocked if i got the link for you..

until next time :) xoxo

AHH!

Oh i know i haven't blogged in forever and i truly do miss it. I have been picking my needles up more, so yay! Haha, but here's the 'Ahhh' part....

My computer crashed.

Not just the ram sticks, if that's what he said, but the harddrive.

I have lost everything. All documents, all pictures, all music, all of it.

Does anyone realize how many pictures we think are safe just on our computer??!?

This is for whoever thinks that....

GET BACK UP NOW!!!!

Print those pictures, put them on a cd, something, anything- online albums would be good- anything so that you can access them more than one way.

All of them are gone... The documents aren't as important as my school ones that i keep on a USB flash drive, but still upsetting none the less.

The music can be restored. Because of the account I created with iTunes, when i re-install it on the washed and cleaned out computer, i'll be able to recover what i bought, then all the other music i had on cds. A little tidious, but it's not all lost.

THe pictures just bum me out though!! Seriously, think about it. All my holiday pictures with my family, all my friends and i during musicals, it's all gone. I'm creating online albums if i use my digital camera, but honestly, i'm thinking of printing out pictures from now on, even getting a disposial camera because then you have to print the pictures to see them.

Now onto how I'm blogging without a computer--- the school actually let me log on!! Haha, but i haven't checked my e-mail in over a week! That's the stinky part i can't check at school.

KNiTTiNG!!

I am knitting a pair of lush leg-warmers. Joyce, from Bloomin' Yarns gave me silk garden noro a while ago, and i've finally started the project. After I finished a beautiful scarf out of a lush chunky wool from Bloomin's and a 1x1 beautiful hat with yarn from them. Haha, i get my yarn from Bloomin's, but Micheal's too. Hopefully i can find another, just to get a little variety.

Once I have a computer again, of my own i mean- i'll put the pictures up of the projects. Until then- i'll be at school, or at dance, or at work. Honestly- it doesn't sound like a lot, but i don't sleep that much. Can't wait til next week when it's SPRiNG BREAK!!!

~~~maybe i'll blog again then.... :) xoxo

Sunday off*******

I dance a lot...

~Everyday at school 8th period...
----Tuesdays: Modern/Pilate's/Ballet
----Wednesdays: Ballet
----Thursdays: Intro(assist)/Jazz/Lyrical
----Saturdays: Ballet/Pointe

I love it. :-D

Upcoming events with dance

My dance company at school is performing at the Hilton Downtown this Saturday between 4:15 and 5:30.

Then we will be performing the same piece for the school in the Holiday Show which is December 16, 2008 @ 7:30.

When we will show our full repertoire is January 16, 2009. This is where we show the same group dance once more and each grade preforms a piece, then two ballets, a tap number, a jazz and a lyrical and a modern- and two or three others still unknown to be made.

My studio will be hosting a performance soon as well.

January 31, 2009 @ the Gray Box Theatre in the Strip District... Time unknown as of right now... haha- I'll find out soon. :)

I love my studio right now- they're great. <3


As for other things in my life- I have school, work, friends and family. School is nuts with all these things pushing towards the first semester almost over and the push of college apps being done. Work is nuts with these crazy plans of meetings trying to make us better and while truly the only reason some show up is because you get paid to sit there listening to sh!t you already know. Friends-- we're all so busy with the first two things we rarely see each other, the holidays can't come soon enough when we can all just snuggle and watch movies with hot chocolate and whatever else we can find at Wal-mart to snack on- haha :) love you guys. Family- I love them too. My cats miss us when we're gone and sadly we won't be going to Cleveland for Thanksgiving, but perhaps for Christmas- unless my boss wants me working that day as well. Who knows what they're going to make us do. I have one more distraction in my mix of crazy-ness and he is mr. wonderful- when it all gets too crazy- and trust me he has his own mix of crazy- we balance each other. When we have that Monday night dinner or that half hour before work just to nap together- it makes it better- just knowing someone else is there for you. :) <3

Well- the title of this post is Sunday off. Because for some strange reason they decided to not have me work Sunday... What's up with that?? Well, I guess it's good to recuperate every once in a while. Or as my mother would like to tell me- make the time and do your college applications. Very fun evening for me :-P

ttyl~

!!!!!!!!! haha :-P

Alright- I know I haven't blogged in a while; and that I shouldn't have an excuse. I mean it's summer and I should have a lot of time- I don't want to take up a bunch of time by catching you up, so I'll give you the quick skinny. ;-)

First off- SUMMER!!! Sleep'n in, stay'n up & out late-- love chill'n with my friends- getting ready for the mission trip- work'n- little bit of knitting- VBS (vacation bible school)- and TRYING to soak up some sun.

KNITTING UPDATE!!! ALERT ALERT!!! KNITTING UPDATE!!!

.... The Steeler Socks.... ARE COMPLETE!!!

~~~~~~these are the on the way to closing up the toe section....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THESE NEXT FEW ARE THE COMPLETE PRODUCTS!!! WOOO!!

YAYY!!!! They are all done- and I will send them to my uncle soon.

I wanted to show off my new finished socks at Bloomin's on Sunday, but found out to my surprise that it is no longer open on Sunday's until September.... HOW COME NO ONE FILLED ME IN!!! AHH!!!! I went up there with my friend on Sunday and we were all set to spend and knit for a good few hours! Ugh, I'm heading there today (Wednesday)- I know it's a late blog post- but they BETTER be open --- GRRR!!! I WANT YARN!!! But now I don't have any money to spend on it... This draws a dilemma.... hmm.... Guess I'm going to have to make a withdraw... grr.

Now to sleep- nighty night <3>

Time--

I'm usually always busy-

with dance- musicals- work- school- church- friends- knitting- ah!

I hate when all of these start to blend and conflict with each other.

BUT I hate something else even more....

when I'm not busy at all!!

I haven't had dance class since the first week in April-

I don't know if any of you know, but that is WAYYY TOOO LONG!!!

GOOD NEWS THOUGH- I MADE DANCE COMPANY!!

I like to skip around on subjects, sorry- you might have some trouble following.

musicals... hmm- i miss everyone from Les Mis and Mamma Mia-- Bye bye Birdie too...

but i just haven't been able to stay in touch with everyone because we all have things to do on the side. I don't know if I'll do the musical next year at Center- just because being a senior in high school with all the other commitments-- it might be too much for my schedule to handle. You never know though- i could give in easily to a good musical with catchy tunes. ;-)

work.. I have been training so many new buss kids that it is driving me crazy! All these new kids and every night I get a new one I swear! I'm sick of it, I'm sick of training, I'm sick of giving tours, I know what to do- let me do my job! We've gotten 5 new buss kids- I've trained them all at least twice. I'm sick of it! Let me be done and give me my own room! Some of them follow- some of them don't- some of them follow when they're not supposed to, some don't follow when they need to. I'm just so sick of it! AHH!

*phew*

school... ALMOST OUT!!! Just some stupid finals- and SAT's the day after finals. I'm just happy that it is almost over and I get the summer to sleep in and get a little bit of a sun kissed glow. I need it too- not just for the healthy glow- but for the reassurance that summer is here!!!

church... We have our annual spaghetti dinner's and pancake breakfast's. I love waitressing for these events and it helps us raise money for our mission trip. I just figured out that my SAT's and the pancake breakfast are the same morning. This is where things just suck a little. Church has also been conflicting with my friends on Sunday's. I usually go out to Bloomin's on Sunday after church, before work. It is a lovely routine and I hate missing them. Almost every Sunday they have been putting in events that last longer and longer at church. I love God and I'm not asshamed. But for goodness sakes! I love knitting too! :'-(

friends... sometimes I think I don't spend enough time with them. I mean I see them in class but whenever we want to do something I have work- or they have an appointment to something or I have dance or they have something and the list goes on and on. This Friday is my Knitting Night at Borders and I can't go because I have work. I hate that. I need to tell him that I can't work these Friday's that I have knitting because I want to see my friends! I had the SAT class every Tuesday and Thursday- so I worked the Friday's to make up for the lost day. But I'm sick of it, and staying out there til 11. I can only do things after work and that leaves a small margin of people because we're all so tired to begin with.

KNITTING!!! I love knitting but I haven't had a ton of time to devote to it. I did get to work on my sweater a bit today. Finally figured out how to understand the pattern. Patterns can be annoying at times. I feel that I have to follow them when all I want to do is have it be my own creation. That sounds a little bit confusing but that's how I work. I have done other knitting since my last post... I knit my friends graduation gift in 3 days!!! It's one of those kits for the team colors- so quick and easy. But use the colors sparingly because I almost ran out of one! I'm also trying to finish my uncle's socks. I feel so bad that it is almost June and he still doesn't have his socks.. I'm really good at procrastinating though- pretty yarn is soo distracting! I do have other graduation gifts to knit and lots of pictures to post because all this typing must be boring- I'll post pictures the next time I get to sit here for a few minutes. But besides graduation gifts- I want to knit something for one of my friends at work- he's a chef. Is there anything anyone can think of that a chef could have knit for them? That's your question of the week to ponder.

Until then- knit on and I really do miss all of you at Borders! I'm sorry I haven't been there- I bought the Friday Night Knitting Club book and have started it just the other day. It's already brilliant and I'll probably pick that up after I get home from work Friday night. Just to feel like I've been around the group a little.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

My favorite pictures from the cast party of Les Mis-- <3

Quickie~~

I hate doing this, but there's just not that much time in my schedule to sit down and say what all is going on- maybe after my SAT class tomorrow I can sit down and get a few pictures up here and explain how my life is going. It's not bad, just still a little busy. :)

I work Friday... :( Knitting night- and my cast's bowling night-
OH! And I went to last Friday knit night- yeah- THANKS FOR TELLING ME WHERE ALL Y'ALL WENT!! haha- just thanks <3

No, I haven't forgot-- just no time!

I'm sorry, I know I haven't been there in forever! But I have pictures!! YAY!!

Les Mis is taking over though-- Tomorrow night is the tech dinner and every night we are getting out at like 10, or even 1030. So that doesn't leave much time for knit night- ONCE AGAIN!!

Anyway- I have been knitting-- but first the specifics for LES MISERABLES!!
