hello

hi ya all, thought i would pop in and blog, was going to last night and actually had a post half written and then the laptop shut down as it was to hot, dang it that made me mad, and of course i had not saved any thing so that made me even madder lol, oh well will redo now, no sense in worrying over something that can't be that silly, anyways i started the cathedereal rose window afghan. and today i bought myself some yarn to knit some socks, yes you read that right, the 4 letter knit word. hehehe, actually i am one of those annoying artists who appreciates all forms of art. now to see wether or not i can actually make them is another story lol.

today we have had the wierdest weather. first this morning we had rain, rain and more rain ugh, then it cleared up, yeaaaaaaa i thought, HA, then the wind kicked in, it was so breezy that i saw limbs flying across the yard, not a good time to be out under the trees, but of course that was exactly where i was, since mr shadow wanted out for a run(he needs to be out more) so i let him out and about 15 min later the wind kicked in, so ended up scooping him up and bringing him back in. now the weather people are saying snow by tomorrow morning,. oh joy i always wanted to see this lovely weather from who knows where. i have NEVER seen such stupid weather. and its not just here, in the midwest is warm, on the eastern seaboard is warm, my sis called from virgina the other day and it was 70 degrees and she was wearing shorts. i told her to shush. lol

today i was blessed by the yarn fairy. hehe, well first off, she told me which yarn to buy for socks, then when i got home i found a box from our own dear fran , she had picked me some yarns up down in texas way that we did not have here(i payed her, but she was kind enough to travel to the store and get it for me) inside there was multiple amounts of matrix yarn and carmen both of which i had asked her to buy, but also inside was more matrix for my darling daughter who is so greatful her mom has such a awesome friend as fran. and appreciates it greatly fran. also inside the box was 3 full skeins of big and thick chenille, the kind that is so soft and warm, now am waiting for the yarn to speak to me, also inside(yep there is more, told ya it was a awesome prezzie) there was a jar of her home made jalapena jelly, which i tried tonight and its very good, hot but good lol, she also included 2 packages of tacobell taco mix, i can't find it here and it looks so good, thank you once again
