Chloe

She's just as addicted to blogging and The Real Housewives of New Jersey as I am...

Here is where she sat while writing last night's post. (it takes her a while to post with her lack of posable thumbs. you know how it is... so of course I had to help) She remained front and center, perched in my lap- biting me at the drop of a hat, until Caroline told Danielle that when she called her trash, she meant it.

Chloe perked up and was all up in the drama! Thank goodness for that. My arms are not deli meats!

We're in Miami, (beeeep!!)

So after roughly:

3 hours
2 allen wrenches
1 pair of needlenose pliers
3 mistakenly read steps- apparently I’m not a good direction giver
1500 pieces
85 teeny tiny nails
A hammer

We got half of the entertainment center put together (it’s 4 pieces but we only have 3- picking up the last one today!) The TV was moved downstairs along with the Wii and Blu-Ray- the upstairs looks so EMPTY without a TV!- just in time to cuddle up on the couch and watch the Jersey Shore 2 Premiere.

Oh and of course it was Taco Thursday!

Good times.

Gleek

I had a lovely night of knitting last night. I just can't even tell you how relaxing it is to just plop down on the couch with my needles and yarn and just have no cares in the world. The back of the cardigan is progressing nicely. I'm about 7 inches in. But it's all stockinette stitch so it can be painfully boring. Luckily I only have a couple more inches and I can get into the lace. At this rate I may have it done by June! Wouldn't that be exciting? I would share photos but it's just plain boring knitting right now and nothing too intriguing so I'll leave you in suspense.

And can I mention how totally awesome Glee is? I just can't get enough of that show. I thought last night's Madonna episode was just brilliant. I almost wasn't singing along. Almost. I'm so glad Glee is back for a while. I can't take another really long hiatus!

I did buy buttons for my super secret project so hopefully I can get that completely sewn together and cross that officially off my list!

But I just can't tell yet!

Happy Hump Day Ya'll!

Stones and Buttons

Now that the Olympics is over I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself. I've spent hours upon hours soaking up as much awesome curling action as I could there last 2 weeks.

Curling. Such an underrated but awesome winter sport. Potentially my favorite Olympic sport to watch. Sure, it's not dangerous like Aerial Jumping or Ski Cross (did you see that? Poles! and Sticks! Everywhere!) but I get fixated and am absolutely riveted while it is on the tube.

I hear there is a curling facility in Miami. I very well need to go check it out. I'm sure I'd be one to fall and break my leg while out on the ice but I really really just want to sweep the bejeebus out of the ice and get that stone to curl ever so slightly and hit the button on the nose.

I miss Curling already.

Though the Karate Kid marathon certainly helped me miss it a little bit less yesterday.

OH! I almost forgot. I completed my Olympic Knitting project both parts 1 and 2! And I love them and wore them all day yesterday while at the shop workinig on my quilt squares. GAH! I almost forgot about those. I'll have to play papparrazzi this week and get ya'll updated on everything.

It'll help fill the time since the basement is on hold this week since Mr. is out of town.

Happy? Monday.

EDIT: Totally random but Casey from Moosh in Indy just informed me that there in fact a Curling CLUB! in Indy!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

I swear I saw 1 billion birds this morning. It was insanity. Fighting for spots on the wires and then attacking each other in the air. I could have been driving on set of The Birds. They must be terribly confused because of the nice weather and then they wake up this morning to frost on their wings. I enjoy a good bout of cold weather, myself, but I'd like a little holiday white stuff to go along with it. You hear that Santa? I'd like a bit of snow if you please. Not a lot, just a bit will do. If it's going to be cold I don't want to look at dead grass and salt covered parking lots. Help a sistah out would ya?!

So I got about 1/2 done in terms of wrapping last night. I'll say that my back started to hurt so I'll be moving to the table tonight to keep wrapping. But in reality I got distracted by a little show called The Sing Off. I'm a huge fan of Glee and a real life version?!? Be still my heart. Those Nota guys really kill it and I'm not so sure what I think of MaxxFactor. Kinda scary yet I wass mesmerized the whole time. I'm pretty sure during the guilty pleasures section I didn't stop smiling for a solid 30 minutes. And on tonight? I heard they are singing Journey. I just can't wait. The opening of Glee featured Don't Stop Believing, and I'm curious to see what group will rock out to one of my favorite bands... and what song???

In other news- only 4 days of work left for 2009!
