The worst day of my life

not really but i am quoting Chapstic Blogspot in regards to Chapstic in the laundry. two separate loads, two separate chap sticks, two separate sets of stains on many many shirts and pants. woe is me. what have i done to deserve this...
first i will try my stain remover, then we will go on to the suggestions in this blog, what can it hurt.
i am also at the last of my Downy Simple Pleasures Rose & Violet which has torn me, we are moving in less than two week, undoubtedly i will not go through 52 loads of laundry in two weeks, so do i buy more so my remaining laundry can maintain the freshest scents of Rose & Violet, or do i admit defeat on go on and use the cheep ass 99 cent gallon of crap Paul got not realizing that it is important what kind you get. i think i will go with my gut and purchase more, i can still use it while we are traveling, and can leave it at moms house for safe keeping. she will love it. gosh i cant wait to get this moving stuff over with. speaking of which i really should be packing not blogging.....

Pay It Forward

i joined the PIF from Beth

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days. That is my promise. The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

second sock syndrome

okay i have heard of second sock syndrome, where the knitter has a hard time knitting that second sock after one has been completed, well i am experiencing the same thing with my wrist warmers, i got them cast on, and i am through about 3 cables out of 7 but i am having a hard time working on it. i also have a bazillion other things i should be doing.

Snow and Knitting

those two seem to go hand in hand these days, with me currently residing in new england and all, today we have gotten a substantial amount of snow, i'd say 10-13 inches, its looks amazing. without further adieu:

Terrified Taco

the view from the porch

Paul's valiant efforts

Taco still unsure

he's such a pretty boy

Paul, shoveling the neighbors walk too

i swore i'd wear flip flops until it snowed. see i wasn't lying
more snow at about 8pm
again he tried to shovel so there was less to do in the morning
okay i suppose now we will move on to knitting, while i have been keeping myself busy the last few days knitting hasn't been one of the things i have been doing, unfortunately the travel channel and Anthony Bourdaine have been the only things to keep my mind busy, with the occasional Gilmore Girls. Late last night i decided that though my heart is aching, knitting will help me to keep my mind away from the things that hurt. so i started a pair of wrist warmers that will be a christmas gift for a good little girl i know.
I have about half a dozen gifts i need to work on, the moving company should come for the first pickup next week, we finally have our flight scheduled, and tomorrow the cat his his last appointment here before we leave New England. oh and i went to the eye doctor yesterday and i need bifocals. i am 25 and i need bifocals. perhaps someone else has experienced this but apperantly i have problems focusing, between near and far, where the normal person focuses instantly my eyes take a few seconds, which causes them to ache and strain. so the answer: bifocals. he did tell me to go to the drug store and buy some cheep reading glasses and give them a try so i am now the proud owner of some silly pink reading glasses. i'll post pictures as soon as i am no longer embarrassed of them.

yesterday i went to the er

they are 99% sure i am having a miscarriage my levels are dropping, bleeding is getting heavier and i have mild-severe cramping. i am really okay, considering. i feel like a pin cushin, they took alot of blood and i got an iv, i also found out that i have A- blood and that means next time i get pregnant i have to get a shot right away ( i also got one tonight) i still dont quite understand why, just that its really important. i dont know why but more than anything i just feel really stupid right now. i'm okay, looking on the bright side, now i have one less thing to worry about as we PSC across the globe, and now i can celebrate my husbands promotion at his wet down with him, and now my dad wont miss his elk hunt because he used up his vacation to come to japan to see me. the timing was off and it really didnt feel right from the beginning, i think my body was trying to tell me something was wrong, i know its normal to worry, and dont get me wrong i went through moments of excitement, but mostly i just didnt feel like it was really happening, i think thats because part of me knew it wasnt. i have cried, and i am sure i will again, but i am strong and i have a very strong husband to hold my hand, we will have our own angel in due time, just not yet.
i really do appreciate your good thoughts. thank you.

Theres a Baby in my belly!

Thursday i found out i was pregnant. i am so excited, but at the same time i am terrified. i didnt think i was, i still am in disbelief, but i guess its right. i think i have been having morning-noon-night sickness. i go through waves where i feel really sick for about an hour or two then i am fine for another hour or two. sometimes the sickness isnt so bad. i am constantly afraid i will start my period. i have cried both times i have gone to the bookstore to find pregnancy books. this is rough on a girl. and i am only in my 4th week, i have 36 more to go. i took my first belly pic today. a picture i can base every other week on. i dont know if i will take them weekly or every two weeks or more, but i am stoked. i cant wait to be big bellied an pretty.

i'm going to be sick

i just know it, i am so stupid, i bought one of those shrimp rings at the grocery store, and didnt eat it right away, so i put it in the freezer, i pulled it out and ate part of it, and i know i froze it on the eat by date so i know i am cutting it super close, well it didnt taste too good, i think i will go barf now.
