7 facts about me
I've been tagged by Sabine!
"Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write in their blogs 7 facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog. You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog."
1) I love Japanese anime. I am currently watching Speed Grapher, which I purchased on i-tunes.
2) I love to read.
3) I adore Chocolate cake.
4) I don't have children, but I would have liked to have had one.
5) I like to paint my toenails red.
6) Sometimes I sketch. I have taken art classes, but not recently.
7) I hate lima beans.
I tag Shelby, Katie, Tendai, Imani, Kelly and anyone else who reads this

no knittin', just sittin'
i haven't done any knitting this week, just sitting and frogging, and starting. I did reach the chick with the knitty pattern and there wasnt' a problem with the pattern or what I was doing, it is supposed to be that small!!! I guess I need to pay more attention. this bag is going to the niece, but I will finish it.
Cozy is still sitting there, awaiting more work, still at about 6 inches. Just 70 more to go!!
No other new projects on the needles, but I am dying to make some toe up socks. I just realized the other day that I have several pairs of capris that I wear to work, and I have to wear socks (because it's the dress code). No one says they have to be plain socks, so fun socks here I come!
Just need a pattern and the guts to do it. I usually make thick slipper socks for people, so there isn't a problem with them. they knit quick and easy, but these may take longer.

depressed
*sigh* I think I'm depressed. It started when I planned to ...... actually, it started years ago, but the reason I am blue now isn't a reason, there are many - but at this point it's because I wanted to go to sheep and wool, but I have to work sunday to take inventory. To add to this, lights are lighting up in my car, and that ain't good. I totally screwed up my finanaces by making crazy purchases (shopping therapy is not a good thing), and now I probably need major work on the car. At least my expense check from working at the new store came so that will help with the car. Now to ice the cake (hey, what do you expect from a baker) my sister has been planning this trip to New York for all of us since Christmas, it's her gift to us. Well, since my car started smoking today (overheated in the drive through at the kfc, very embarrasing) I think I should probably drive to the nearest repair shop in the am, instead of driving 45 miles to her house to sign on to the rental car, and then spending money that should go for car repairs on museums and meals in the big apple. But I feel guilty because now they won't go since I won't be driving. I wanted to go, and I was kinda excited about going, but now I just want to veg and be depressed, and clean my apartment, and get my car fixed, and put my shelves that fell off the wall back up. And maybe go for a walk in the morning. I think I also didn't want to drive. We were going up for the day, and since she doesn't like to drive at night, Iwould end up driving from New York to Baltimore at probably 9:00 at night after getting up at 5am. Doesn't that sound like fun. NOT!! It's not like they can't go on their own, it's just none of them like to drive on the highway (I don't mind it) and none of them like to drive at night (or have poor night vision). I guess all of this is so I could say to myself "you know what you have to do, and what you need to do. don't beat yourself up because something came up and you can't fall in with someone else's plan. it's not your fault and stuff happens. be nice to yourself and go knit something. have another sip of iced tea."
Okay, I don't feel better.
oh well.
