11 out of 21
It's what now, 36 days until Christmas and I've got 11 out of 21 knitted/ crocheted gifts done! Lets see if I can do it! I can already tell you that i will not be doing this many next year! and I WILL knit something for me in 2009 too! something other than socks! I think I will make 2009 my stash busting year! Adam thinks I have too much yarn but I am FAR from the big timer stashers, mine doesn't even take up a wall! just a tiny little space of it! HA! wait till I get a wheel! FUN!
Lili was sick this weekend, then it was my turn - today is my Monday! The vending machine decided to explode while I was away! I took pictures and will post them later because well, the cable is at home and I am not!
Tonight I celebrate my nephew's 11th birthday.... He is my oldest, and I can not beleive he's 11! I remember the day he was born! We used to hang out a lot when he was little, before Adam, and all the other kids were born. He was with me the very first day I met Joe, a memory we all share!
Here is one of Joe (right) and Mason (left) when they were about 5 or 6, it was taken at our first apartment, they were soo cute! now.... preteens..... WOW!

a good day for my sis
this real jerk off of a guy kept saying my sisters dog was barking (he never barked unless you were a deer or ON his property - you know what dogs are supposed to do)... anyhow, the cops ticketed them and it was a manditory court appearance. Needless to say, she came out alright minus the fact they had to give up their dog because of this guy (not from the court thing but because he was harrassing them and it was just too much - the guy was a dink) so here's to Lori!
oh did i mention her case was dismissed for 6months as long as she had to barks or bites!
Max will NEVER be forgotten!

6 down 15 to go
15 to go, yeap that's right 15 knitted items to get done in 44 days! If you can figure out how that will actually work let me know!
I am still optimistic that it can happen! Cross your toes for me!
here is a really bad photo of the start of joe's "Joe Cousteau Hat". It's a simple yet very cool pattern! I'm actually trying to read the Finnish version of the pattern - good thing there is an English one to reference!
I figure the boy doesn't even know I have a blog, or at least I dont think he does, but he doesn't read it anyhow! so he's safe to take pics of!!!!

A quick catch up!
So I came to realize that I've missed a lot of things on this old blog! So a quick update... I'll start with Halloween!
Lots of pumpkin carving, house decorating, oh yeah first one on the bottom row is my house at night - the back yard, perfect creepy back yard! LOVE IT! The kids had a great time trick or treating, Uncle Adam brought the oldest boys out and came back with FULL bags of candy, I'm amazed no one O.D.'d! Z-man, one cute Vampire! Oh, Lili was Tinker Bell again... and Joe was Jason this year...
Can't forget to add the pic of the recent stabbing.... I litterally bent 2 US2 straight needles almost in half, a good 90 degree angle at least! I know it doesn't look bad, but it hurt!
Now, some mittens I'm working on for Lili, Can't show a ton of knitting for it's all christmas knitting and who knows who will decide to hop on this old thing and find out what they are getting! more after 12.25.08! oh and I'm watching my mom's puppy Tripp, him and Axel have been fighting for 2 days straight now! he goes home tomorrow!
And finally the biggest news of all....
Lili got her first haircut! I seriously cried, never thought I would cry about hair, but I have litterally never cut her hair (only her bangs), it was past her butt! but with potty training and the fact that she was getting tired of it getting stuck in her arm pits! It was time, she looks soo old now, I can't beleive she has gotten so big so fast! It kinda in a small teany sort of way makes me kinda sorta maybe think about maybe wanting another one....
Talk to you all soon!!!

Time for change.
I am actually honestly proud right now to be an American. I think this is the first time in my adult life that I can talk to my friends over seas and not feel like the "stupid American". We are here for change now and thanks to this man:
I know things are going to start getting better. I'm proud to know that my kids will grow up in a country that is no longer run by old creepy white men who can't even give a speach! In the words of my daughter "Rock Obama is my present!"
Today is a new day, and I plan on making that true even close to home!
and just so you know - I DID VOTE OBAMA!
