Just a little side note here….
Last week I bought my own domain name!
*pretending to be cool about it*
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*jumping up and down like a totally uncool person*
Unfortunately, I am apparently a LOT more computer illiterate than I thought, so it’s taking me awhile to set everything up. Good thing I’m married to the Computer Whisperer. heh.
Anyway, he’s helping me get everything how I want it and when it’s all done, I’ll transfer everything over there and post the new address here.
Don’t get me wrong. Free hosting places like WordPress and Blogger are great. To start out with. I started out with Blogger and then moved over to WordPress and it’s been great. But it’s gotten to the point where there are SO MANY restrictions and things I can’t do with my blog that I want to do. So hopefully I will grow a brain sometime between now and when Rat gets so fed up with me saying “duuuhhh….whuuuuut?” with a confused look on my face that he quits helping me. So I guess between now and tomorrow. Hee.
On another note, I totally sliced up my finger today while washing the Jeep. I was cleaning the wheels and stuck the sponge in one of the little holes to clean the brake dust and something inside was very sharp and scratchy and put a two inch cut on the side of my index finger. On my right hand. Because of course, I’m right handed. *sigh* And I didn’t have a bandaid with a 2 inch pad thing, so I had to wrap my finger in gauze and then secure that with a bandaid. So I might type weird for awhile while I learn how to compensate when my finger falls off. But hopefully not.
Just thought I’d share my pain. Rat just keeps saying “poor baby” in an uninterested, monotone voice. Sympathy, dammit! I need flowers! And chocolate! And an interesting magazine. Maybe some jewelry. And a box of cash would make me feel ever so much better. Anyone need the address?
Filed under: Weekly-ish Things
I figured I’d start doing another “weekly” (ish) thing on here, since I’m enjoying the prospects of Things on the Road Thursday!
Every Monday (or more likely, when I think about it) I’ll post a picture of a current “crafty” project that I’m working on. There may not be much difference from the previous week, but I think this might light a fire under me, figuratively speaking of course, to “get the lead out” and work a little harder on the projects that I’m doing so they won’t just sit around gathering dust, like they’ve been doing. (how’s that for a run on sentence?)
If you’ll recall, I’ve been working on a baby blanket for a friend of mine who is having a baby. (duh) And I FINISHED IT! TONIGHT! YAY! Finally. I’ve been working on this thing for months now. I was actually getting worried that I wouldn’t have this done in time for the kids high school graduation! LOL
I think it may have even been one of my (multiple) New Year’s Resolutions! Which means YAY AGAIN! I completed another resolution!!!
So without further ado….
I tried to show the border (my very first!) by folding back one of the corners.
I wanted a little bit darker pink, but decided to go with this since it was the softest and also matched the yarn I used to make the actual blanket portion.
So there you have it! My very first “Craft-ay Monday”! (you gotta pronounce it so that it rhymes. Hee.)
Oh, and feel free to play along! I know some of y’all are very Craft-ay! Hee hee (that just tickles me)
I’m back. And I’m beat.
And I have a headache.
And I’m watching a Closer mini marathon.
So I’m going to keep this short.
Don’t you just love it when you come home, after even a day or so being gone, and you walk in the door and it just smells like home? Your first thought is “man it’s good to be home!” and your second thought is “hey, it smells pretty good in here….thank goodness it doesn’t stink!”.
There’s nothing worse than forgetting to take the trash out before you leave for a week-long vacation. Then you come home and “that smell” hits you as soon as you walk through the door. Blech.
Clearly, I have experienced this first hand.
And now that I’ve made myself queasy, I’m going to go back to watching my marathon.

I’m writing this from my parent’s house on an unfamiliar keyboard in the dark and I’m not doin’ so good on it. So I’ll make this quick.
Pie Update: It was EXCELLENT!!! Everyone said so, so it wasn’t just me. Hee. And “everyone” includes my parents, Rat, and two other friends (and of course, me!). So it’s confirmed. Pie = Good
We celebrated my mom’s birthday today by dinner at the Outback, which was great (I can’t get enough of those damn onions!!!) except that they sat us in this booth/table that was up against a wall and so I had a wall two inches from my right and Rat two inches from my left, which made it damn near impossible for me to cut my steak! Next time I’m sitting on the outside! 
Well, I’m going to cut this short since I keep having to go back and correct my spelling and then accidentally hitting the enter key or the / key and then having to fix that. It’s getting late anyway and the “early bird” (my dad) has already gone to bed. The office is right beside my parent’s bedroom (it actually used to be my old room) and I’m pretty sure he can hear my typing and cussing as I hit the wrong key!

Turned out pretty good, no? (except that weird little tear in the top line….but I’m picky about these things)
