All In One
I have needed to blog for a bit, however time constraints have not allowed. Therefore I will knock it out all in one. I had a short break before classes resumed on the 9th so I took the time to delve into some projects that I had waiting for me. First off I started and finished a ripple baby blanket.
This was the beginning to the left. I began this on Monday and finished it last night. I was pretty impressed with how sweet it really turned out. I plan on putting it on ebay.
Then I decided to dye some yarn using pink lemonade. 
This acutally looks kind of good. Petty though I was making Pho...
Side note...I am allergic to lizards. They give me chills, panic attacks and nightmares. Dad brings home baby lizards to kill the spiders around the house. This is truly not an acceptable act. Eventually they are going to attack and kill me. I believe this...nobody can convince me otherwise. So the other night I stepped out on the deck for a moment to let the dogs out and when I came back in a lizard came in with me on the door. It's 3 o'clock in the morning, lizard is climbing on the wall, Petty is still at work, I want to pee my pants, what the hhhhheeeellll do I do? I tracked the lizard for the next 45 minutes while on the phone with Petty begging him to hurry home and standing on a bar stool.
Sorry, but I don't understand why anyone cannot see my side of why these things are horrific. Anyway, Petty got home climbed on a chair and caught the slimy looking thing. To my surprise, the tail fell off and starting wiggling on the ground...GGGAAAHHHRRROOOSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He let it back outside to be with his "friends" and I was able to go to bed in peace.
Okay back to creativity....I made homemade bread...now anyone who knows me knows very well I screw up most baked items very well....This time I rocked..I made foccacia from a recipe I found on a vegan website. It came out unbelievably perfect.
it looks kind of like brains in this photo. I used whole wheat flour instead of white all purpose so that's the funky color. Anyway...this bread was so soft so tasty and I was super proud of myself. I got pretty confident and the next day tried to bake my mom a world of warcraft cake. She got a flower one instead. I don't know what my problem is with cakes. I also have gotten pretty good at making tofu dishes. I still cannot for the life of me figure out how to make tasty curry. I have tried EVERYTHING!!! Jars, recipes, packages of mix...whatever...it just does not taste the way it needs to. I guess that will be continued practice along wtih cakes.
Another side note...boys have been with the grandparents in Indiana all week. Missed them terribly, but the day they come home I end up at a doc in the box clinic with a severe ear infection that was almost a severe ear drum rupture...SAWEETTT!!! It was very painful, but I got a steriod shot in my booty and meds and am feeling a bit better. So now I can hear all the stories of their trip.
Last bit of info...I wanted to share a picture that Jordan drew at school.
It's suppose to be a self-portrait.
Drawing on the far left...
Jordan with his Uncle Joey at Confirmation. I'm thinking my child should stick to abstract...lol...
Okay so I think I have covered most everything. If I left out anything I can always post manana!!!
