Here we go

The yarn that the loverly MNKNIT sent me! Thanks again!! ^_^









Today I went through my queue on Ravelry and got rid of some things I didn't think I really was interested in any longer. I also tried to put the list in an order I thought I would be likely to work in... At least the first few items or so... Who really knows what you are going to feel like knitting next anyways, right?

Right now I am working on a paper for my sociology class, and also studying for a test in the same class. The professor always has papers due on the same day as our tests, which I like because writing the papers allows me to go over the info again. It helps me retain everything easier, I think.

Later this evening I hope to cast on River! What do you think of the colors of the yarn with the dress? I think I will like it.

Stole...

The very awesome MNKIIT from Knitty.com sent some very lovely Fiesta La Boheme yarn that she thought I could make my prom shawl/stole from. I really like it. I will post photos of it tomorrow because I left my camera at a friend's house... Oops!




I think I am going to knit River to go with my dress... I am not sure yet, but whatever I do I will have to decide soon!

Sense...

and Sensibility!

Take the Quiz here!
I love Jane Austen!

Photo Excursion...

Today my ten year old cousin was over and he asked, "Jo, can we go on one of those photo things like we went on before?? Please?" I said, "Ted, there won't be that much to photograph..." "That's alright, Jo. It'll be fun anyways, and I want out of the house."

So off we went on our little photo excursion. I was right, there wasn't much to see... But our walk did leave me positively aching for Spring's warmer weather!




















I also finished a Calorimetry that I started last night for my younger sister.

Prom Dress!!

I went prom dress shopping today... And I actually found something! I am so happy. I love this dress! I went to David's Bridal and seriously EVERY store at the mall that sells formal dresses. I usually get dresses secondhand, but I wanted something really special for my senior prom.

Here it is!

^__________^ <--Really big smiley! Hehe.

Now, I want to knit a shawl or shrug to wear with it, just in case it's chilly. Nothing too bulky. I am thinking silvery shimmery... And kind of easy. You all know my skills. Hehe. Any ideas?!?!

I appreciate any help!

Once more... Yay!!! Hehe!

ETA: Please excuse the Christmas stockings... DJ's family wanted to leave them up all year round... Don't know why. LOL.

In a time long ago...

In a Past Life...

You Were: A Banished Poet. Where You Lived: Germany. How You Died: The Plague.

Who Were You In a Past Life?

Hmm... Too bad I'm not that intersting in this lifetime... ^_^

A long time ago...

I was single. LOL.



Yesterday... Marked one year and six months since DJ and I started dating. We went out to dinner and a movie to celebrate.


The movie we saw was Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Any one heard of it, or seen it? It was really good. I loved it. Very funny. Very cute. A great love story. Several love stories all rolled in one.






Here is my desert... YUM! It was some kind of chocolate mousse cake that was like eating a slice of Heaven. Soooo delicious!
