Busy Busy Busy--

Being a Junior in High School, is just hard. There is so much to think about, to worry about, to write down, to do, to get done, to think about what needs to be done, places to go, places you plan to go, places you need to plan to go to, studying, testing, and for me- all that plus working, dancing, singing, knitting, sleeping, breathing, and eating whenever possible. It's just tough. So I worked on my calender for almost an hour to make sure I have everything planned out. First off, I kind of have 2 planners- one for school, and one for others. The calender I worked on today, is the others. So I write down the 3 days of dance I have; the days I work; rehearsal for the next musical I'm in (Les Mis); all the PENS games- who knows which ones I'll get to watch; SAT's; Some time in there is marked off for knitting!!! and then my birthday is on this calender! {March 28} if anyone wanted to write that one down on your calenders ;) haha-

Anyway, these ways of planning things out helps me somewhat. So that's why I do them.

ONTO KNITTING NEWS!!!

1 COMPLETED STEELERS SOCK!! WOOOO!!!

photography thanks to Bloomin's

ALSO

2ND COMPLETED BABY HAT

but no pictures please--- haha, sorry, just no camera, and didn't finish and take to Bloomin's on Sunday.

Well, I'm really glad to get some projects finished, but I still need to finish A BUNCH more before I start another- and I'm SOOO tempted to just start another hat. Hat's are definately calling me. They just keep calling my name- seriously, they are. 'come knit me into a sweet hat-- you know you want to...'

Those pretty lucious yarns! When I'm done with all these tests--- maybe I'll pick you up, but until then, I'm finishing what's in my baskets, room, and bags, and other places... That's too many already. haha--

Have a good week everyone-

DON'T FORGET TO BREATH! it's something I often forget to stop and do.

I breathed a little... that's the weekend for you

Well, I did have work again tonight- we had a little rush of business that definately kept me on my toes. But I did get to see DPUTiger at the club tonight. I got busy as soon as they left- AHH-- So much to do, and the floating buss kid just wouldn't come to my side cuz of the other buss kid whipping the 2 guys to stay on her side... {Sorry girl, but I told this to your face, so it's ok I say it here if you even read this...} Well, happy note!! Before I went to work, I got to go visit Joyce at Bloomin'S!!! I got the delicious Cherry Blossom, Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn!! I'm so excited to knit it! I am still working on those steelers socks, they are just in a time out because the needles keep falling out!! UGH!! But yes, I have to work tomorrow once again because of the stupid lunch in at church. Yes they are cute, and good fundraisers, but Allison and I had this game planned for like a month!! Now it's the game that's in two weeks that we might go to... Oh well- maybe I will have my socks done by then!! Wishful thinking... or evil plot not to do my homework??? Hmm.... :) OHH,,, I decided I am running for TREASURER!!! WOOO

Grr to no time!!

Ok- I'll tell you about my schedule. Tuesday's and Wednesday's include an hour of dance each, along with taking and picking my mom up from work. Leaves some time for other stuff, like homework and food and such. Then there is Thursday and Friday- both have school and both usually have work. Tonight of course I had work- but only because I requested off from Sunday because I want to go to the Pens game and I don't even know if that'll happen. But yeah, those nights at work are usually late. I didn't leave work tonight until 11!!!! I WAS planning on stopping by for 15 minutes or so, just to get a few stitches in. But no!!!! Then there are Saturday's. I dance from 9-5 usually but musical is over, and this is the first Saturday where it is from 9-1. I love dance, I really do- but then I have work again Saturday night- even when I had dance from 9-5, I still went to work. And Saturday night usually lasts til 10:30. Then there is Sunday. I go to church every Sunday- and most likely have work every Sunday night. And a few times this week I have had to go to school early for meetings of Student Council and running for office. I can't decide to run for Secretary or Treasurer. It's bogling my brain, so any opinion is helpful. Anyway, between these I rarely have time to knit, let alone eat, which means not much time to do homework. And this english teach just gives tests and tests and spark notes are out of the question because she now reads those too, just to make sure that we have read. I hate it. So I'm just a little upset I had no me time to knit tonight. It's my relaxation time. ANd to top everything else off- I have boy issues. Because I'm still cute through all of this, haha, and I'm a teenager.. Life's tough, I'm getting a helmet tomorrow. :) (if i have time...)

6 more weeks of WINTER?!

Yes, that loverly ground hog is so kind. I think he only did that cuz of all those stink'n paparazzi. Well, it gives us knitters more time to wear our amazing winter knits. BUt honestly, I'm trying to finish my spring knit before the weeks are over. And I'm not sure how I'll do it, but I'm going to try. Other knitting news... Hmmm, not really- cuz I just finished my show and am just getting enough time to do homework and stuff- I'll knit in study hall tomorrow for sure though. Dance and work will start up again, and I have time to knit in between those, so that'll be good. Tonight consists of SAT/ACT/PSAT platinum edition, then some practicing for my next audition, LES MISERABLES!! I also must bake cupcakes for something... Not sure when I'll have time to do that, but I'll make it... Hopefully.. :/ Until then, enjoy the loverly weather- yes I say lover-ly, and keep knit'n!! <<33

BYE BYE BIRDIE

All shows start at 8 p.m. and an afternoon showing Saturday at 1 p.m. There is also a PREVIEW showing on January 30. The show is going to be at Mt.

Oh, and by the way- I'll be knitting back stage- and I have a ball of yarn as my weapon in the number Kids Reprise :)

Start-itis, wait... WHAT?!

Yes, I have start-itis...

BUT I CAN'T FIND THE PATTERN FOR IT!!! AHHH!!!

I want to start the shawl- and the socks for myself.

I don't have needles to do two socks at the same time- and I can't find the pattern for the shawl- this stinks! So I have to hurry up and finish my current projects- to finally start these, and have needles, and HOPEFULLY find that missing pattern... it's a MIA PATTERN- EVERYONE ON THE LOOK-OUT!! haha, thank you and good-night <3
