My rockstar and random ramblings.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss California and all that it offers.
Thanks to the suggestion of a very wise friend, I’m going to get a voodoo doll. It might solve some of my problems. Things are still the same. Ready to cast on another knitting project, ready for Turkey day since it’s a day off of work, NOT ready for Black Friday and certainly not ready to go to bed yet. Why can’t I ever sleep anymore?? Nothing else to update on. This blog post was pretty much just to post more pictures of my little rockstar. Too bad I can’t ever blog without some kind of rambling.
because…
because I’ve been horrible by slacking on my blogging and posting pictures.
Things are frustrating for me right now. If you are one of my closer friends, you will know what I mean. If you aren’t, too bad. I’ve taken up needle knitting and I’m working my heart out on projects. I’m having a blast. I love being able to relax at night and knit hats. I love finishing a project and being proud of what I’ve made. I love thinking of my upcoming projects, trying to tell myself that I have time for this, when honestly, I really don’t think I do. Learning to crochet is my next task. I’ll get around to it eventually.
Tomorrow I need to make sure I take pictures of my most recent knitting projects. I don’t slack on making them, just slack on taking pictures of them.
a finished project
I finally finished Skyler’s knitted hat. There are certain things I would do differently, (white double stranded, not single. white and blue stripes thinner…) but overall I’m very proud of it. Skyler loves wearing it so that makes me even happier. Now I’m working on knitting project #2 which is a secret. Then after that I’m going to make him another hat. I’m addicted.
Robyn, I promise I’m working on the pictures. I have a couple done because I finally have a night that I didn’t go to bed super early because I felt super ill. I’ll get a few pictures up on my flickr for you tomorrow :)
So long California
My weekend in California has come to an end. While I’m happy to be going home and back to my normal everyday routine, I’m going to miss California and the people there so much.
My stay at Casa de Widmer was F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. Beautiful place, amazingly wonderful hosts. I had expectations for how the trip was going to go and I can honestly say that the trip was better than what I imagined.
Friday was the aquarium, Saturday was the beach and Sunday was the apple orchard and spending time with family. Although the last day was spent feeling a bit under the weather, I wouldn’t change how the trip went for anything.
Unfortunately, tomorrow is back to work. I need one more day off….
please pray
I know I’m late on this posting, but I have to do this.
I want all my readers to pray. I want you to pray as hard as you can for a 2 year old who is fighting cancer. For a 2 year old who has been fighting cancer for almost a year. Who has been fighting as hard as a little boy possible can. For family that has been fighting for him. Please pray that he can start the ONLY possible treatment left tomorrow. Please pray that his lungs are strong enough. Just please pray. It’s not fair that children are getting cancer. Why should any parent have to go through that? Why should any child not get the chance to live their life and be able to grow up. Please pray for him. Pray for everyone who is fighting Cancer.
7/30 just a quick update
I didn’t even realize how close to midnight it is until I went to do this post. I have arrived at Robyn’s safely. Worn and exhausted due to a first flight being delayed 40 minutes and a 5 hour second flight with a toddler who did not want to sleep. We did the aquarium today and possibly beach tomorrow. Then Sunday at a family affair where I will spend my time taking pictures. Yes, this is going to be a wonderful vacation.
6/30 Adios Amigos!!
Last post before I leave on my vacation. I’m all packed, Skyler is still napping and I’m ready to hit the road and get on the airplane! Too bad the plane doesn’t board for another 3.5 hours.
So I’m off. To double check I have everything. To double check that Skyler has everything. I’ll update later :)
5/30
T-24 hours and counting
Tomorrow’s post will be done on computer, but for the upcoming days after that, it will be posted using my cell phone. I have to keep up with NaBloPoMo somehow.
Almost done packing. Another knitting project has been casted on. Hopefully, I’ll be able to work on another one on the plane. I’m ready to go!
4/30 a much needed vacation and a historical moment
T-2 Days. I’m getting more excited, more nervous and more relaxed as the days go by. I’m about 50% packed and ready. I have lists made, more mental lists running through my head and a couple knitting projects crossed off my list. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week and for several reasons, I’m grateful for that.
I need this vacation for more than just the obvious reasons… Sorry. No protected posts for what is going on now….
And in bigger news. We are living in a historical moment. President-Elect Obama and I contributed my vote and I’m proud of it. I have hope for this country. We are living in an amazing day and age.
3/30 accomplishment
I finished (or just about) finished a knitting project today. A project that I can honestly say that I am incredibly proud of. Of course I can’t post photos just yet, but I will :) I never knew that knitters had such an amazing feeling of accomplishment after finishing a project. A feeling that says “Yes, I worked long and hard on this and I’m proud to show it off”. I’m glad I’ve gotten into such a fun hobby :)
2/30 craziness
T-4 days :)
I’m mentally preparing lists of what needs to be packed and what I need to make sure I bring. Of course this lists haven’t been transferred to paper, but the procrastinator in me will do that eventually. Hopefully I won’t forget that I need to get extra pacifiers, or what books to pack for the plane. I know I’ll remember the bags of cereal for him to snack on, but will I survive if I forget the juice boxes?? I’ve traveled alone with Skyler before. Done the plane thing. He was 6 months younger and not as mouthy. So this is going to be a lot harder. But it’s going to be so worth it when the plane lands in California and I’m greeted by a friendly face. I can’t wait for this trip.
1/30 - day after halloween 08
This was Skyler’s first year getting to celebrate Halloween. His first year to go trick or treating and really enjoy candy. His first year of choosing what to dress up as. I think he really enjoyed it. Because of technical difficulties, I wasn’t able to get pictures Halloween night but I did capture a couple pictures the day after. When he was still insisting on wearing his Batman shirt of his costume. I can’t believe how fast he’s growing up.
