Beanies for Babes

I know I know its is September, I just haven't had the inspriation to write anything lately.

Here I am again on my own in Las Vegas. Let me tell you it is friggin hot as hell out here. I hate this weather and really it does not go away till about mid to late October. So boo to that.

The house is really big and really creepy at night. Still I do not mind being in my old bed. The idea at 26 and living in your parents house is just a nightmare. What is ab fab is there is cable and I sit and I knit. Plus it is the end of summer and now I really do not want to do anything at all. I will be going outside more often because it will start cooling down. I also am doing a 5k in the middle of this month. So yay!

So now I am coming up with an idea for a lil business. I was thinking of knitting beanies for kids with cancer and giving them to the kids. Also I was thinking of just going once a week and chatting with the children while I knit their beanies. I

I think it will be fun and I have more yarn than all the sheep in Scotland. I am selling the beanies to people to donate to the children. For now. there will be a new blog coming up and then things will progress from there.

Really that is all. Oh and Oliver is loving being in the heat. He is one happy puppy.

Really People

I wish I could understand why people feel the need to be so mean to baristas.  We are just there to help you and make you coffee.  I am sorry the coffee did not taste as good as the last time.  We can make it over for you.  Just tell us in a polite manner, and gladly we will.  Really the nicer you are to us the nicer we are to you.  

A lady was getting mad at me today because she did the card register thing and thought when she refilled her card she would be getting a free drink.  No this free drink is only when one registers their card.  Not refill it with money.  It is not my job to give you a free drink, but I still did and politely told her for future the free drink is not part of the refilling of the card.  "I get a free drink I get a free drink I get a free drink" is all she kept saying all through the time I am trying to tell her about the great details of the card registration thing. OYE!

Then another man comes in and tells us how Reno is an armpit.  "Where are you from?"  We ask.  Salt Lake City he tells us.  PFSHT, I have been there I would say they are about the same, except the weather in Reno is a little better.  Both places have pretty mountains.  Both places have some museums, and both places have many things to offer.  Not one is better than the other.  Both have their Arm Pit qualities, just like any city.  He said Salt Lake is better than Reno which really got me.  Oh well.  Really though we live here so probably not smart bud!

On another note, I am almost done with the shall of doom.  This thing will haunt me for ever, but Damn I will finish it.  I want to rip out the jitterbug socks.  I am just not as happy as I thought I was.  I can make a better pattern I know I can, I am better this way and also these socks will so much better anyways!  OHHHHH and I joined ravelry today!!!!! woot!!!

On a sad note, no more George Carlin.  Damn, one funny man.  This pissy ass world needs the funny men in them, and when we lose them it just seems sadder than when we lose a news anchor.  Thanks for all the laughs George, you shall be missed.  

I guess I am writing a song today because there are just notes I am playing them.  The bean crew is going to be painting pottery today.  I am the worst painter in the world so if anything this should be entertaining:).  I cannot wait to get us all together and see how we all say and react! It is a different bunch of people but we are all super fun to see and be! 

Where do I start

Here!

Ok so it has been a while because I am horrible about these things.  I think my life can be really rather boring so who wants to read about it...I know I wouldn't! Well sometimes I wouldn't

So knitting wise, I have been knitting like crazy.  Recently I helped make a scarf for a free scarfs to throws patterns.  A really good idea and really they are all looking super cool together (they can been seen on www.jimmybeanswool.com under the free patterns section mine will be month 8 i think).  So much fun to do too; making the pattern and doing them all soo ladies (not that there are any out there reading this, I know that I am not even writing it) if you get a chance, do it, do my pattern and oh yeah buy some yarn!  The other things are some socks I am creating out of some jitterbug yarn.  I love knitting with this yarn it is really soft and smooth and the colors/color patterns created out of it; my my my are to die for.  I have the camo type one going on.  A guy friend of my liked it so much he wanted it, until he saw the pink in it...Boys and pink heaven for bid someone think your gay for wearing pink.  

Also there is some alpaca sox that I just made my mother socks out of.  They have a Faux cable on them and they show up quite nicely with the varigiation.  Plus it is alpaca so who the hell cares if the pattern shows up; they are like the nicest caring loving male cuddling up with you at night and then making you breakfast in the morning.  I have been on a super huge sock kick lately I don't know why.  They are fun and they are challenging I am thinking that could be it... Also I have been making my sister a shall out of you guessed it more alpaca with silk.  This shall is looking very very nice, she will probably hate it, well just because I made it.

My sister Chrissy graduated from college.  Chrissy went to the University of San Diego.  We are all super proud of her.  She got her degree in business and will be on an internship in London for a year.  It was fun being down in San Diego! I love it there, so pretty!  It rained the whole time which was so nice.  I like the rain.  Plus there was so much fun stuff down in San Diego.  The beach and the food...I got to eat at Ruby's which is my absolute favorite restaurant.  

Reno has been Reno.  It is super nice weather.  Working inside all day gets really hard, but I am managing.  I am starting to get used to my first job, which is getting easier.  I think I will eventually like it.  I love working at the yarn store.  Yarn is great especially when what you love is yarn.  Some day there will a beautiful life where we all can see how amazing it is to work with yarn!!!

Of course who could forget about the dog.  Oliver is being oliver.  Just lays about and then cuddles up next to you gets pissed you didn't pet him after you pet him for fifteen minutes.  (He wants you to pet him for about fifteen hours more, and then he will be half way

 satisfied.) Damn dog, but I love him more than anything.
