Happy St Pattys Day

Well I got home late last night. It is good to be home but I can never seem to get away from work. I have to go in today to unload the truck. It didn't seem appealing after a 14+ hour day. Last week I got an unusaul request from Josh. He wants me to make a baby blanket for one of his coworkers. Oh darn that means I must go to buy some baby yarn! I have two weeks to get it done so I must run to the store before heading to work.

Well yesterday I had to go back to leesburg to get some work done. While I was waiting for the drillers to get back with the trailer to load everything up I wandered back downtown. Oh yes I bought more yarn. It was the other colorway I was fighting over getting the other day. eeeek...so pretty!

THURSDAY!

Here still in leesburg. Today I ventured around "downtown" Leesburg and found a yarn store I saw online a few weeks earlier. Seeing that they are only open Friday to Sunday I knocked. This nice woman...i forget her name but it reminds me of a type of bread lol....opened the door and let me shop!!! I really needed some yarn time. I fell in love with Jitterbug yarn in the fruit color. It is soo pretty the pink caught my eye and pulled me in. I left my camera in the car BUT pics will be up later if I remember. Hopefully, I will get to go back to tampa tomorrow. If not I will be back on Saturday and then back up here on Monday...sheessh....

It's Monday....

Lets just leave it as it being a long day...a long monday. Well im about halfway through my first cornflower mitt. I am doing it in red wool. I figured it would be nice in the field. The loopy ewe is going to be updating its site tonight....eeek!! I might have to buy something thanks to my enabler. If I buy anything I will keep you informer.

Outta here

I'm confused. I've been drinking. I think I'll go to bed. I am sure that will make everything better. I wonder how many sentences I can start with I......

I <3 TJ Flats

It has been a long week to say the least. We are about halfway done with our well installs. The rig broke down the other day. So it was a short day. I was able to go back to tampa to attend a wake. That was really hard. I think I cried more than most ppl there. I dont know why but I couldn't help myself. The wake was for the son of my coworker. That was my first time meeting his family. Since I was in town I stayed the night. Puppy was so happy to see me. He cuddled next to me ALL night long and didn't throw himself around. So that was good. Four more days to go before I get to go back home.

Well I think I am going to go to bed early tonight!

The first of ten

Well I am chillin here in my room. Didn't really feel like going out to eat tonight so I ordered a pizza. I got the new garlic bread pizza thing from dominos. I thought it was going to be a normal pizza with a bit more garlic on it. Well noob took my order. And it took him a while. Got my card number wrong 3 times. When I say something like 3 8 I do not mean three 8's....
Well I got my food and the pizza wasn't cut!! EKK so I got to tear it all apart. I also noticed it didn't have any sauce in it. Isn't it suppose to have sauce!!!! So not so good....good thing I got kickers as a backup!

My first sock

Right now I am turning the heel on the sock. I think it has taken me almost a month to get this far....I need a knitting vacation!!!

Kitchen towel

Kitchen towel, originally uploaded by knitsnbits.

Finally I got my kitchen towel done. It has just been so busy at work that I haven't had the time to work with it. Last week was a little slower so I did most of it in one night.

oh so soft

New Yarn - limenviolet, originally uploaded by knitsnbits.

This is the room with a view yarn I got from limenviolet. It is oh so soft. I am not sure what I am going to do with it right now. Josh even approves of it because of its softness. I should it to him and his first reaction pink.....but of course I made him feel it and it went from meh to ooooh! tee hee

Pics!

New Yarn - Fleece Artist and Mountain Colors, originally uploaded by knitsnbits.

Here is my fleece artist yarn on top and my mountain colors on the bottom.

btw I am testing out this blog the picture lets see if I can get more than one pic on a post. That would make my life a lot easier.

One down

I FINALLY finished my kitchen towel! All I need to do is sew a button on it....well I need to find a button.

New yarn!

So I have been horrible. I have been on a sock yarn buying spree! My latest purchase was limenviolet's room with a view. I have to get a picture up here soon. Once I have a day off I will try to upload all the pictures.

I got a little cold so I am trying to get over that. The rest of this week I will be out in the field working. I think tonight will be an early night for me.

Hope everyone has a great valentines day!

Ribbit Ribbit

The other day at work, I was walking around opening up wells and taking water level measurements with on of my coworkers. We saw a tree frog in one of the wells. Well that brightened up my day because I do like animals. A little later on that day we were at a different well. He opened it and it had five tree frogs! Then the best thing happened. One of the frogs, about 2-3 inches long, jumped into my coworkers shirt! Hee went ahhh and I went OMG! Then the frog peed on him. The frog then proceeded to climb outside of his shirt up by the collar and peed there too! At this point I laughing and felt it safe to try and get the frog off of his shirt. The frog them jumped on his hand and he got it off. By the end of this ordeal I was in a laughing fit. He was just squating looking up at me like I was crazy. Everytime I looked at him that day I couldnt help but laugh. I knew there was a reason I liked frogs LMAO!

I have decided that in the near future I will frog some of my unfinished projects. Maybe not all of them. The blankets I will atempt to finish. I just had to get some drinks in me before I do it.

Update on current projects. I finished and felted my fuzzy feet. After the felting I thought they might be to small BUT they fit!

I have started to make a towel for the kitchen. Hopefully it comes out nicely.

It IS all about me

I just found a sweater that is named after me. Maybe I will have to make it one of these days. It is cute but seems quite easy. Link to my sweater. It does look so soft.

FRIDAY!

It is FINALLY Friday! Let me just start out by saying it has been a looong weekend. I have been out of town all weekend and it is good to be home. Good to take a shower in my own shower. I can not wait to go to sleep in MY bed with my cats and prob the dog.

I have finished one of my fuzzy feet and I have started the second. I haven't gotten to far on it though. This last week had a few long days and a lot of hard work. I am acutally taking a break from knitting tonight because my arms, hands, and wrists are just hurty. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday they will be feeling better.

Plans for tomorrow include do my work landry, picking up around the house, and hopefully going into the back room and moving things around. What I might do is move some stuff from the frount room into the bedroom and move some items out here from the back room. We will see how I am feeling tomorrow. All day long I have not been feeling to well. I think it might have been the lack of sleep and stress of being on the road.

Things to buy for next week include sun screen and lotion (like hand or a thick cream)

Update on my heart attack

I have talked to the manager of the shell station through a helpful employee. This guy, George, has yet to call me about the over draft charges. It is HIS responsiblity to contact the bank to resolve this issue. Since he is not willing to do this I have had to contact my bank...which I really didn't want to do seeing my branch is full of stupid people. So I did not contact my branch. But I have contacted the bank and created a dispute claim. The claim included the overdraft charges as well as the credit that the shell station was suppose to credit to my account that has NOT gone through yet!!!! That made me a little upset. George does know that it has not gone through yet. His response was well you saw that we did credit it back to you. You might have but it hasn't gone through yet!!! WTF.

On monday I will be calling the Circle K rep. I believe this George guy could get off his ass and do a little more to help me. The shell station is owned by Circle K by the way.

This will be fixed this next week!

Heart Attack!

On the way to work this morning I stopped off at the shell station. I needed to grab another bag of ice to keep my samples cool. While I was there I figured I might as well grab a soda and some sinus med. That day I was going out in the field with a guy who smokes a WHOLE LOT. I went to work, came home, went to home depot with Josh, got some dinner, and then headed over to wally world. We had a good time out tonight. When we got home I figured I should get online and check things out before I went to bed. I noticed a big dip in the account. Looking at it I saw that the shell station charged me $1,274.69 for my drink and med this morning. WHAT! That can't be right. I race over to the station in my blue pj pants with ducks on them, a clemson shirt, and the only shoes closest to the door (happen to be orange). I also made sure I grabed my laptop seeing I could not find the reciept. I get there and the to girls working were just as shocked and raced into action. I was very happy with that. All I kept thinking was I hope they hurry up and fix this so I can go home...my back it killing me!!

Well they refunded it but the manager is going to call me in the morning to make sure everything is still good.

Off to bed now!! I just hope I won't have nightmares over this...lol
