*best* purse ever!

i've completed my lucy bag! i love it, i adore it, i want everyone to run over to your local yarn store and buy this pattern so you can make your own!!! this is the greatest bag ever!

not much else to say, the weather has turned to shit, its overcast and icky out, will be for about the next week, and poor little Aiko doesn't like to piddle in the rain, it's a pain in the ass to even get her down the stairs. she also doesn't like my umbrella, so if i take her out and its raining we both have to get wet. and the icing on the cake, with rain in okinawa comes worms and snails, both witch have become staples in my dogs diet. gross.  today i am making pizza from scratch, late last week i made banana bread, i think i am getting this house wife shit finally. 

plz help me

oh dear, i have realized that i spend more time on ravelry than knitting, i was just observing my projects and notice that there is 8, yes count them 8 wips. and there really is more than that because i have two more of those damn book g-strings that are wips, just not listed, i am an awful person. i need to get my but in gear and start knitting and stop ravelrying.

Movie Review ::Sweeny Todd:: *no spoilers*

i bought this tuesday when it came out not knowing if it was going to suck or not, i heard it was a musical and i love Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. what i didnt know is the cast of this movie included three Harry Potter cast Members Helena (Bellatrix in HP) Alan Rickman (Snape in HP) & Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew in HP) i really enjoyed this movie, the songs are amazing and funny, the cast worked very well, Johnny Depp made a great Sweeney Todd. i am glad i bought this i think this is one of those movies i can watch again and again. (i've already watched it three times since tuesday)
oh and Sacha Baron Cohen... he was great in this movie, i love his over the top characters.

Tomorrow after going to the gym i will frog my coachella as you can see it just doesnt fit quite right, well more motivation to loose weight, so i can fit a smaller size.

motivation to loose weight

i have had a really hard time finding motivation. for the last three years i have struggled with the desire to loose weight but i will go to the gym a few times, slightly mod my diet and it lasts a few weeks, i loose maybe five pounds, something happens and i give up. the last time i quit it was hte move, we were in hotels and on the road for 30 days i weighed myself just before TMO came early January, i was at 162 i had lost 10 whole pounds! last week i finally mustered the courage to step on that scale and it was 174, i gained back what i lost and then some. i was sad i admit defeat, i am destined to spend my whole life fat. but really i still love myself and i can be okay being fat right? well i was wrong, see DH is company gunny here and part of his duties is to PT the overweight Marines ( i forget what they are callled) and i was asking him about the program, who gets in, how long are they in, what do they do? and he tells me not trying to hurt my feelings at all, that i would be in his program if i were a Marine. still not realizing i am in shock at what he said he follows with, you would have to loose somewhere around 20-30 pounds before you got out of the program. i nearly lost it. i knew i was fat. but seriously, that hurt, i know my husband loves me, and he meant no harm in his comment, but it's now my motivation, i am inventing the Fat Marine Wife program, and i am started my strict PT regiment today, i did 25 min on the elliptical and 15 on the stair climber (that thing kicked my ass) and 15 min weight training. i am pooped, but i am very proud of myself, my goal is this week to go 3 more times before sunday and go 4 times a week for two more weeks (at least) for at least an hour. then i will bump it up to 5 times a week for an hour. i am not working, all i do is baby sit once a week. i can do this. i can not be a Fat Marine Wife!
