New Hat

I knitted this like 1972 crazy lady hat.





It looks like a weird mushroom when it's laid out flat. Okay, it looks like a weird mushroom on my head also.

Halloween

We had a fabulous Halloween party! Thanks everyone who showed up... the costumes were amazing!

Hat

I got a little bored tonight. So, I decided to go through my half finished knitting projects. I found a hat that I started like months ago. I don't really know why I started knitting it, but it's finished now!

Update: I so totally took apart this hat. I hated it.

Crazy Weather

Press Demo Lightning Pics

Last night was crazy! I woke up at like 4am to the loudest thunder I've ever heard.

Softball!

We totally won our first softball game for this season. We were even 2 players down in the field (silly pigbirdman flu took 2 of our players). I played center field and second base at the same time. We came in second place last season. This league is harder than our summer league, but here's hoping we do just as amazingsauce!

Softball

Um... The Sonic Death Monkeys are so in the playoffs! If we win our next game, 7:10pm 08/03 Rincon Valley Community Park *HINT* *HINT*, we'll be going to the playoffs in first place. We could even get tee shirts and a trophy. Crazy.

OH... and I should probably mention that my Friday night team is totally in first place! I've played all of like 2 games for them, but whatever... I'm so the missing link, but with waaaaaaaaaaay less body hair. Go OTL!

Sonic Death Monkeys

We are currently tied for second in the league! I know, WTF?

League Standings

My Sweater is slowly growing. I'm done with most of the body!

Finished Blanket

So, it turns out it's really hard to take a picture of a blanket. It's finished and a little ugly. Josh lorves it though, so whatever.

I'm working on a Holiday Sweater. It's winter white and cranberry and grey and should be either fabulous or super uggers.

Softball season started. I'm on the Sonic Death Monkey team for the second year and may also play on a second team (better, scarier team).

We continue to suck at house buying.

Softball Season

Softball season is starting super soon. Jenny and I are cocoaching spectacular. We cut all of the horribly sucky players and the ones that smelled like tomatoes and those with even number jerseys--making the team 13 sucky, not tomato smelling, odd number jerseyed players. Okay, interest might not have been what it was last year before our 0-5 season. I'm sure this Spring's team will live up to the glory of Fall, nuggets.

Knitting can suck my bendy straw: I finished a scarf. I was going to give it to someone, but Josh swooped in and claimed it. We were coming home from work the other day and this chicken was crossing the road...(well, she crosses the road every day. We named her Doris.) anyway, so Doris was crossing the road, and we almost car killed her, but then she flew into a tree. Yeah, that's where this story was going. Doris is probably a rooster. So, I'm trying to keep up with knitting...okay, not really. I'm not really trying at all.

We fail at house buying. Okay, we've only been seriously looking for 2 weeks, but we sorta suck at it. Whatever, it's probably the houses that suck at being bought...because houses do that.

hair issues

I'm so almost 30. I have like a year and half left, and if I was ever going to have blue hair, now is like the time. Tick Effing Tock.

So, I decided to find a girlfriend who has a ton of money and lives in San Francisco and can take me to get my hair cut at some way too expensive place into choppy layers and get dark blue hair extensions.

I'd get a tattoo--it'd be easier, but I have no idea what to tattoo--nothing is possibly that important to me.

I think I'm just really bored.

MANNING UP

Josh says I need to man up.

I made a hat... it is UGLY and am working on a basic boring scarf because I don't want to do anything that requires thinking.


UPDATE: Adam took the hat and loves it and wears it proudly--brave soul!

Pies

I made a pumpkin, plum and pecan pie today. That's 3 separate pies, not 1 pie with all 3. Whatever, it's foods that start with P pie day.

African Violet

I really miss my grandma. My grandma used to have an African Violet on the window of the kitchen. It always had pretty flowers. When I moved into our new little house, I bought an African Violet and put it on my kitchen window. I talk to it when I do the dishes. It never responds. My African Violet doesn't flower. I've tried everything I can think of and the leaves look great, but no flowers. I wish Grandma was alive, I'd ask her about my African Violet... oh and her meatloaf.

I think I have to make this...

You know, for the Zombie Eventuality!


Josh found this picture. I know he'll be standing behind me and ducking when the zombies come.

SONIC DEATH MONKEY, ALMOST!

Well, the Sonic Death Monkey softball season has come to a close.
We came in 5th place and gave those nonnerd teams a run for their balls.
Some of the most noteworthy highlights were:
Terra's totally hardcore bruise from getting hit by Carl's 3rd base line ball.
Sal's dive and catch in short field...followed by 12 more dives without catches.
Jared's strike out and subsequent self-beating.
Adam's slide into second in jeans.
Joshie supporting us every game with pompoms and a little skirt (okay, that one didn't exactly happen, but he was our most loyal fan!).
Nicki getting hit in the face.
Me tagging someone out without the ball in my glove.
And, as a team, going 0-5 and losing our 3rd game by something like 28.
We were generally amazing. Let's all cheer... SONIC DEATH MONKEY, ALMOST! I plan to play my heart out at second base next season.

Orange Clutch

I'm trying to finish almost finished projects that have been almost finished for days.

I finished the orange clutch bag... now I have to finish my table runner, blanket and sweater.
