I have survived!

This week was very hot. We only had one break from the heat and the sun and that was when a thunderstorm rolled in and lasted about an hour. Needless to say, my farmers tan is coming along nicely. One of these day I am going to have to even it out on the rest of my body. This week of field work was shortened by a day when the drillers called us saying the rig is broken. So Monday was a prep day. We left Monday evening to arrive at the hotel so we could have an early start time to make up for the loss of the day. The week was filled with lots of soil boring, some smelly and some not. The first day I ruined my seim field pants with an affected boring. Well those jeans are all field work now. Thursday night I found out that the next day, Friday, I was being moved from the boring part of the job to another job in the same area. Excavation!! Let me just say it kinda felt like Christmas but not as good. We were digging to see what the GPR survey had shown hits on. Well, First hole it was a dryer and car parts. the next three holes had a washer, a futon, rugs cushions, household garbage, and lots of scraps. The last hole had a fridge in it! Oh my was that surprising.

In the meantime of digging all of this crap up, I managed to get ants in my pants, grasshoppers in my pants, catapillers in my pants, and something else. Not sure what it was but my knees were stinging the entire day, and drive home. I also had to pee really bad so I went to the otherside of the truck, dropped my pants, and peed. When I was done I looked up and oh look I pick the area where the house across from the site had a FULL VIEW. I jumped up and pulled on my pants and my phone started to ring,, so I answer it. It is my boss... Only thing I can think of is I just peed in front of a house...... The backhoe operator thought it was hillarous..... So much that he told his boss and his bosses son that was working in another field. ha ha ha oh so funny.

I still have a morning full of work (unloading the truck and deconing my clothing)

I will end this post with a questionaire the my Secret Pal host has asked us to do (temping us to do with yarn..sock yarn shall I say)

1. What is the one knitting accessory you could not live without?
Well honestly if I did not have a knitting accessory with me I would just ask Kelly like I normally do. But since this is to get to know ME better I guess I will give it a try. A bag. I can not really borrow that from Kelly although I do know she has plenty. I love bags...bags with pockets to organize....a bag with zippers. I have stuffed small projects, like socks, in my purse in the past but I really am not a fan of that. I do have the knit picks purse set that I stole from Kelly...thanks BTW I also have a few other bags that I use that my mom made for me a while back.

2. If you're heading on vacation, do you take knitting with you? If
so, how much and what type of project?
I do take knitting with me. Pretty much where ever I go. I would take what ever I am working on unless it is scary huge. Since my work makes me travel I take knitting with me so I will use this last one as an example. I took a sock that I am working on, the boy blanket for my sweetie (which I didnt work on), and a ball of yarn in case I wanted to play. I didn't get much knitting done this last week.....tooo tired

3. Where have you travelled to that you'd consider your favorite spot?
Oh so many places, I love out West, like arches area. Also Andros Island was wonderful. Lots of prettiness. But I don't think that I would do much knitting there....

4. What is your favorite knitting book at the moment? Do you own it?
Umm I dont know if there are any *favorites* they are all special in their own way! If nyou see my amazon wish list you can see the ones that have caught my eye. The only knitting books I have are Big Book of Knitting (some of the patterns in there are well umm EEEK but it has taught me a lot) and The Cool Girls Guide To Knitting ....yes I did buy it at a reduced price. Pretty much the only reason is for the dog sweater that looks like a shark! It is going to be awesome. and no my dog doesn't normally wear sweaters but made he wants to be a shark for halloween. Eeek gotta get knitting on that!


5. Do you listen to podcasts? Which is your favorite(s)?
I do listen to pod cast. I just need to get up to date with them. There is Yarn Thing, SSK, and ummm some others tooo. I cant get into itunes ATM though.
