Today is my birthday.
I'm 29. Yup, a woman who freely admits her age! holy rusted metal batman!!!!!
i got a great haul for my hatchday too =D
My Father In Law Kevan sent me a Ball Winder and a whole set of 15 sizes of bamboo DPNS..yes yes, no more borrowing from Sharan!
The Husbeast got me the Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders books, and Greywalker, sounds good, in the right genre, go Ross! also got Kirby Yarn and a boatload of hersheys w/almond chocolate! (and my Zombies hate you because you're Awesome bookmark!)
I got 3, yup, 3, Barnes and Noble gift cards, i spent the one from Jennifer on a few books today, iDrakula (the story of Dracula told via texts and emails, it's actually very amusing) and Three paranormal romance novels, a mixed bag for me =P
I did some school stuff for Kae this morning (Halloween parade) and i got to pick up my paycheck, and then spent WAY too much freaking time renewing my driver's license. Homeland security has some really stupid rules regarding renewals. But it's taken care of until 2018...
All in all it's been a good day, gonna go to mom's to finish the birthday celebration tomorrow.
and to end a joke kae told me today.
Knock Knock?
Who's There?

Five Years
Today my baby is 5
I promised last week I'd post pictures from her birthday party and such. so here they are =D
And then Sunday she got to go for a long bike ride and play down by the lake =D
She got a bike (it's very pink), helmet and pads, an ARMY of barbies, Beauty and the Beast AND the new Tinkerbell Movie. as well as a new Aquadoodle and a Crayola Glowstation, which she hasn't gotten to play with yet. We saved a couple presents for her to open tonight. She picked Pizza for dinner.

Halloween Vampire Swap 2010
I got my package pretty early this time around! from Pru182.
She sent me so much fun stuff, Stitch Markers, Beaded Bracelets, a pumpkin Keychain, a beaded/sequined mask, some pretty spiderweb earrings, absolutely scrumptious yarn!
Chocolate...om nom nom nom.
and
A Bottle of True Blood! (Type-O....makes me want to pull out my cd's i haven't listened to since College!)
Also a very cute little halloween box stuffed full of fun stuff, little tarot cards more chocolate, pez.
and my hand-knit is a very warm pair of fingerless gloves, it's getting chilly, so they'll get used soon!
Thanks Courtney, i lurve =D
as for MY package to go out, i've got a bunch of little things pulled together already, and i'm about half finished with the hand knit item. I had started but guessed incorrectly on the measurements, so i had to frog and start over. but I caught up pretty quickly (even with work and my reading habit).
I'm at 161 Books for the year, though, i finshed reading Wide Awake, a Twilight FanFic that's 900 pages long, part of me wants to count it as 3 books. my goal for the year is 200+ books, based on that math, i need to finish 13 books a month for the next 3 months (not including the 6 i already finished for October). I think i can, I think i Can.
Saturday is Kae's 5th Birthday Party, expect a Blog entry for that =D

Books Books and more Books
it seems all i've been doing this month is reading.
I've finished 12 books this month already, almost 13. I got a nook two weeks ago and it's eating my soul!
I think part of the problem is also that i'm soooooo tired by the time i have a minute to knit because of the bratling and work.
I'm sure i'll adjust soon, seeing as how i get to start working on a project for my stalkee in the Halloween Vampire Swap on Ravelry. /cheer

I'm Employed!
So a couple weeks ago i got hired for JoAnn Fabrics, to work during season (but i've been told i have a fairly good chance of staying on after season is over). I worked yesterday (friday) and trained at the cutting table. They asked me when i went in to work today for a craft event!
Grandparent's Day!
so i got a couple more hours this week, and got to do crafted with little kids, it was so fun.
kaeley came in with Grandma Pam and made one too =D
though she didn't want to make it FOR grandma, it's hanging on the wall above her bed.
Ross said yesterday that my getting a job at JoAnns is like him getting a job at a Comic shop, the perfect job. I agree, it's not easy, but it's fun, and i'm just happy to be working again, even if it is only part time!

New (Used) Car
It's one of those things, just when everything starts to go right, something must go horribly wrong.
Last wednesday my car died, Eddie said when he looked at it that it's nothing major, but he would replace the engine. gak...that's nothing major???
so mom and i spend all weekend looking at cars, i do research, spelunk craigslist, vehix, the palm beach post classified. And i find a PT Cruiser i love! omg do i love.
Then Sunday mom goes to the Toyota dealership without me and buys a 2002 Buick Century. Now, i know i'm not supposed to look a gift horse in the mouth. It's a nice car, really. but it's not me, i hate it, it's huge, i didn't like driving mom's Taurus, why would i want to drive a tank? and mom's solution? i can drive her dinky ass 2-door Alero and she'll drive the Buick.
on the upside, the a/c works, on the downside, the radio doesn't. and all used cars are "as is"....blah.
at least kae isn't sick anymore, and i start work on friday
