You know the day probably isn't going to go so fantastic when one of the first things you do is lock yourself out of your master bedroom and then have to break into it before you leave for the day because you are paranoid you left the straightener on... but you didn't.

But luckily that didn't happen to me this morning... okay fine. It did.

Because I am such an awesome blogger I luckily had already taken photos of the aforementioned items from yesterdays post. Stephanie said she would love to see... and so, I'm happy to oblige.

The delightful Twinkie

Sunbeams that lit up my heart

The lovely golden yarn called Citrine by Ewe3

I'll have some actual project photos later this week. For now, I'm snuggling up on the couch with my project and some Oprah. Too bad I just started DVRing her this year and I'll be super sad now that it is becoming my after work ritual to watch her from the day.

Not feeling it

Sloth Monster strikes again!

Not feeling it tonight.

Not Much

To report for the day.

Went to work.

Had a yummy dinner of spaghetti and meatballs at mom's house.

I ripped out the entire shawl I had started because I didn't like the edges. Trying again with a K2 YO edge on both sides. It's proving to be a great improvement.

Running tomorrow. Another 28 minutes in the bag hopefully!

Randomness

I pretty much dressed like a waiter today. Black pants. White button up. Black vest. Black shoes. How would you like that steak cooked ma'am?

I'm currently enjoying a delicious screwdriver in a fancy glass thanks to Mr Buckeye.

The Machine Shed in IA has this giant cinnamon roll thing that looks out of this world.

Enchiladas are cooking in the oven. Delicious.

We are about to start a 3 hour Mad Men marathon so that we can send it back to Netflix. I mean, it's only been a week.

The run tonight will be postponed since I was at work late. And if I tried to run outside I might drown. It's so hot and sticky and muggy out. You could probably cut the air with a knife.

Until tomorrow...

Moody

I was in a fine mood till about an hour ago.

I'll spare my down in the dumpy emotions and not lash out at you innocent readers.

On a positive note, I shredded again last night, that's 3 days in a row :) and I'm ready to cast off another secret project and hopefully get all the finishing work done tonight.

Another sad note- Ugly Betty is over. And I'm sad :(

Fog

I'm tired.

I have a headache.

And nothing to write about today.

But carpet gets installed tomorrow!

Yikes!

I'm super busy today.

I did finish my hat last night though. It will look fabulous after a serious blocking.

Update later :)

Randomness

I had a doughnut for breakfast this morning.

And some Green Tea with Mandarin Orange (Lipton- it rocks, go try some!)

Couldn't sleep last night. I'm wired this morning.

Not sure if it was the 3 individual rows of knitting on my hat that I completely fudged up separately and had to redo every time I got a new row done. Or maybe it was the Skyline Chili I made last night. I made the mistake of not using a spoon to scoop the onions I had cut. I swear, I can still smell them even after washing my hands 15 times and a shower. Hopefully it's just in my mind.

I have a presentation tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be fine. But its not every day that you present to an Executive Leadership Member so I'm a little nervous.

I hope the sugar rush from the doughnut lasts till lunchtime. Then I can go refuel so I don't pass out.

It's supposed to be awful nice later this week. I'm hoping to start running again. Oh wait, I didn't tell you about that. I started running 3 weeks ago. And wouldn't you know I got injured. Pes Anserine Bursitis in my right leg. Let me just tell you that I was hours from cutting my leg off it hurt so bad. But luckily 14 days later I'm diagnosed, medicated, stretched and better and just itching to get outside and run again. Let's just hope the motivation is still there. I've got a wedding to go to in April and LA/Vegas in May and there is no way in hell this hot mess is wearing anything short of long sleeves and pants if I don't get my hiney off the couch and hit the pavement these next 5 weeks.

Happy Hump Day.

Edit: Okay so I lied. I have now had 2 doughnuts. I went to the printer and saw this little gem in the box looking all cute and lovely. It reminded me of Homer Simpson and made me laugh. But that's all I remember because then I blacked out and ended up back at my desk and wouldn't you know it followed me there.



So I ate it too.

Maybe I'll have to start running tonight...

Tired

I am tired.

I want to go back to bed.

The basement is chuggin' along. There may be more progress on the bar today as all that's really left is the drywall layers- and those take time to dry. Then the ceiling grid can be laid and the lights and tiles can be put in. And then there's the floor- which hopefully we can pick this weekend. And the light fixtures- for the bathroom and the bar. We were potentially thinking of skinny hangy downy lights to go over the bar?

ETA:
After looking them up apparently they are called pendant lights?

Something like these?

Maybe 2 on the long side of the bar and 1 on the short side? Not sure.

We will have a break in work next week- figure the women in their lives might appreciate it if we give them up for a week :)

I took a hilarious (IMO) of the guys and their new best friend, Chloe. But stupid tired me, left the camera at home this morning so I can't share it with you. Maybe later.

In other news, I'm still knitting, just a little bit.

And I'm tired.

Just to add- I love my state. and I love my School. Check out what some students did during snOMG! 2010

That, my friends, is awesome!

Sluggy

I wish I could tell you about my amazing, productive, exciting! night at home. But alas, I can't.

I can't tell you that I stopped at the grocery store after work to pick up some things for lunch and somehow a bag of Totino's pizza rolls ended up in my cart.

And they ended up in my oven and in my belly within hours of getting home.

I also can't tell you that our tv schedule is so jam packed that I was forced to go upstairs to watch The Biggest Loser while sitcoms and American Idol were being recorded on our lovely 52'' Sony downstairs.

Could I tell you that I sat in bed watching Biggest Loser while improvising a new knitting project and knitting away till 11:30 only to have it be too large and therefore I have to resize it? No I can't.

Oh wait. Yes I can tell you all of that stuff. Because yep. That's what I did last night. Sounds fun huh? You bet!

On a positive note. I finished these beauties on Monday night :)

They are fingerless gloves. And they are going to be gifted to Tracy as soon as I see her. She has been waiting not so patiently for about 6 months now. I'd say it's time I gave them up.

Pattern is Fetching

Yarn is Malabrigo Worsted in Holly Hock

Snow? Again?

We got about .5-1'' of snow last night. Just when you think the sun may peek through the cover of clouds we get covered again. Blah.

Oh well. I'm relishing in the fact that I am not on a deadline anymore, I finished yet another outstanding project last night that was long overdue, I watched an amazing episode of House while eating a Richard's Steak Sandwich, and we are starting the basement on Monday!

Even though the weather may not be cooperating, the stars seem to be aligning and hopefully this turns out to be a pretty good week!

Do you remember when I was knitting my lace and I got terrible Eye Strain and had to work on something else? Well that something else was a pair of Longies. Or Baby Sized Pants if you will. Well, they made their way to their recipient last week and she was awesome and posted some photos! Go check her out!

But please come back eventually...
