Saturday

I was grasping at straws for a title there. Very enthralling, I know. So today is Saturday and tomorrow is Easter, and then its back to full time hell...I mean school..yes. Well actually, school isn't so bad, its the getting up so gosh darn early that I despise, that and the standardized tests. I have WASL's the next week after I get back. And then AP tests in May ( those are the ones I'm worried about, WASls and SATs are easy) and June second I have my SAT. I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but seeing as how this is the most boring blog on the face of the earth, and may have one, occasional, accidental reader, I feel that's OK. I guess I should start commenting on others peoples blogs more.

My Yellowstone sock is a bit past the heel gusset. I'm paranoid I won't have enough yarn, so I'm not feeling all that motivated to knit it.

The last two days here have been quite sunny and lovely, and today its overcast. Which I guess I am glad about. I went out yesterday for about 10 minutes, and ended up with a hundred new freckles and pink angry skin. ( Can you say lily white? And I don't even have red hair,I have dark hair) so Aloe Vera is my buddy today.

Instead of our own coreography, Ciara and I have decided to dance Miserlou in hafla, which is good because we are learning it hands on in class and can get lots of help.

Well..I have the worlds most boring essay to finish, along with some bio, but instead of doing that right away, I think I'm going to watch a movie, or look through cookbooks to find a chocolate pie recipe. I write better under pressure anyway. ( Really, while it sounds like an excuse to procrastinate, I can write out a decent essay in 30 minutes under pressure, or a crappy one in two days if there's no pressure)

Hump Day

Hm...that title may not be the best thing. Oh well.
My day was alright, very little on the knitting front. I cast on and finished one GIANT MITTEN OF DOOM!!! last night. I still have to knit the second one. In other news, I got new batteries for my camera, so pictures are forthcoming.

I had dance tonight which was fun, we just did veil stuff and tried on costumes.

Almost Friday!

Woo! The week is almost done, and then next week I have off because they give us "Mid-Winter Break". My computer is acting so oddly, the typing keeps stalling out and i'm not sure what the problem is. Gosh Darn computers.

I got the nicest email today from Dave @ Cabin Cove,so many bloggers are so friendly. I did change my comments so now anyone can comment, which is odd as I figured they would have it that way to start, but what seems logical to me must not seem logical to blogger.

Dance class was great last night, It ended up being just Ciara, Beth ( My DBF's Mom) and I because it was valentines day. I managed a walking shimmy up on my toes which was neat. We did a ton of veil work; and I being ever so short, kept getting tangled in mine. It happens every time, and I got the shortest veil I could find. It's very pretty, I should take a picture of it to put on here.

I got the research on MP3's today from a friend, so I'm deciding which of those I want to get. I refuse to get another Ipod. My mini died and was generally pissy the entire time I had it, and Itunes is equally bad.


Well, I'm waiting for my aunt (ugh..whole 'nother story there) to get here, so I'm gonna surf around and read some blogs, listen to some music.

Scarf..Still not done.

Well..that scarf still isn't done. It's freakishly long, and my yarn ball is getting smaller and smaller, so it should be done by Friday or so.
Speaking of Friday, It's my birthday so I get to go on a massive yarn binge. I'm going to Seattle with my Dad, and he's paying...I think we will at least hit Hilltop Yarn and Little Knits, but if I can make it to Tricoter to pick up some Socks that Rock, that would be great. ( However, if I don't manage it on Friday, I'm certain I can manage it on Sat.)

I ordered some Bronze DPN's from Celtic Swan forge in a size one. (www.celticswan.com) They should be here in a couple of weeks. I wish I could have been able to afford some silver ones, but perhaps I will get there eventually. Their customer service was really great, and I've heard nothing but good things about the needles. Speaking of which, my brother broke one of my Brittany Birch straights, so I need to email them and ask for a replacement. Another place with great customer service.

I have my sock knitting class on the 4th of March, I convinced a few friends to come along and I'm learning how to use DPN's tomorrow which will be most helpful.

I have bellydance tonight, I'm going to talk with Hasani ( My fantastic bellydance teacher www.hasani.net) about dancing in my first hafla. My plan is to do a solo in the August one, and then a duo with Ciara in the november one.
