It's Sunday!

The crafting day... and guess what? I am being a lazy ass. Hmm cleaning my whole house yesterday has made me want to lay around all day in my underwear and do nothing but watch episodes of LOST online and knit stockinette.

Wow my neighbors are LOUD. Geez don't they know that I like peace and quiet? haha

I do have some graphic design stuff to do today. Thankfully, I've done all the sketches at work so I don't have to create everything. My brain is just mush today. I really hate school. Have I mentioned that? It is such a drain on my creative energy. sigh...

OMG addiction

Ravelry forum radar is the most evil and also coolest thing on the planet. Don't go to it unless you want to be reading for an hour. Just sayin...

I'm alive

And surprisingly, still well. It isn't the 11th of April yet so we'll just see what happens there. I have an appointment at the allergy specialist on May 2nd. They sent me a freaking book to fill out about my allergy history. GEEZ that will be fun.

With school kicking my butt and vacation, I haven't done much in the crafty world. I've been working on a simple stockinette stitch triangle shawl out of some pretty schaffer anne yarn. That's about it.

I have some stuff slated for Sunday. I have deemed that creativity day. The rest of the weekend will entail sleep (still feel like I've been hit by a bus) and cleaning the apartment. Why do I invite new people over? It just means I have to clean for them. My friends know I'm messy and can deal with the yarn all over the place. They just move the stacks of library books when they need to sit down or see something across the table. haha

Oh well, back to work. I'll try to be more talkative on here.

Tired and what not...

I had a great trip to Louisiana! We had a lot of fun, but I am worn out and could sleep for days. Too bad I have to go back to work on Thursday. There are pictures over on flickr of my boring drive there and our fun at the campus swamp on Easter. I hope everyone else had a great Easter holiday!

ok so I just kind of felt special for two seconds.

I did some ads for Beth of Doodlebirds creations for ravelry this month. I kept waiting for one to pop up unexpectedly on my notebook and it NEVER did. But just now it happened. I kind of did a little dance and then went back to my paper. I know I could see them on the page with all the ads but that is just not as cool. Just thought I'd share how easily amused I am.

oh sleep, how I miss thee...

One paper down, one to go. I see a venti white mocha in my future tonight. Hell, I might even get down right dangerous and make it a double shot.

ooops

got a little excited a posted about sweater day a day early. If you got it in you blog feeds, sorry. It is tomorrow. So see now you know in advance. Wear your sweater tomorrow to celebrate Mr. Rogers' birthday. :)

I needed this...

The papers are coming along quite nicely. I'm almost done with the first one and I will turn that in tomorrow then I will finish the other one tomorrow and turn it in Thursday. Then I will pack and drive to my parents to spend the night and then get up and drive to Louisiana on Friday.

uninspired.

Those two papers I talked about... not going so well. I just don't want to write. I'm starting to realize that I dislike school a lot. I know plenty of people go to school and work full time, but I really don't think it is for me. I'm kind of scatter-brained and loose track of things that I don't really care about, and if you've read my blog at least once I think you know where my love lies. I'll give you a hint - it isn't in library science. I'm not quitting, but only because I don't want to be labeled a quitter. In grad-school having 15 hours is halfway to being finished and I don't want that hanging over my head. I'm just in a bad mood I guess, because I've been sick so much and stressed and not wanting to do school work. And I want to see my best friend dammit! I need a John hug really badly right now. Ok I'll go write papers now.

My Favorite Things...

pandora.com Ever wished you could listen to music that sounds like your favorite artist for free? This site makes it possible with the music genome project. I absolutely love this site and listen to it all the time.

this ebay store hello kitty beads... yes please! She has other great stuff as well.

Manto Fev
Beth shared this one with me, she's kind of evil like that. They have lots of antiques, beads, other random notions and paper bits, etc. I ordered a butt load of stuff from there a week or so ago. Shipping was fast and the prices are amazing.
Here's what I got...

MAC fluid line I have a new obsession with this stuff. I have really sensitive eyes and can't wear eyeliner. I can wear this stuff for hours without having problems. Since it is a gel instead of a liquid it is really easy to put on and doesn't skip like pencils sometimes do.

The contenders
wowio.com lets you download FREE e-books. It's a great concept but still needs more titles. That hasn't stopped me from downloading some Shakespeare and the three knitting books they have.

Eggland's best eggs yeah since I've been sick I've been downing a lot of these and they just taste better than the other eggs you can get at the grocery store. I would of course prefer fresh eggs from the farm, but I only get those when I go to the farm.
