Knitting Update: Started on the second leg of "Cream of the Crop." I had to write to the knitlist in hopes of some help (naw) because the CC (contrasting color) when flipped will not be correct. I can easily change the back to work and for the front I'm gonna hafta do 5 rows of MC (main color) and then the 2 CC in order to get it to look correct when flipped into cuffs. Bummer. Couldn't find an errata on the web.

Friday was my Spanish final from 7 - 10 p.m. I never thought I'd spend the entire three hours there but I did. I'm always the first one finished in any of my classes. At least it is over with - just have to continue to bite my nails for the results. So, what did I do all day on Saturday? Well, since the beer fridge took a shit...DH and I did a little g. saling and then we headed to the big box lumber yard/appliance store....and walked away with a $1566.30 refrigerator for the house. We bought the house fridge 10 years ago when we moved into the previous house. Right after the death of the beer fridge a few weeks ago...the handle on the fridge in the house broke. Not sure about you but to me, this was a sign. I figured, why pay $200 for someone's old fridge for us to use as a beer fridge when we really need a new one in the house. We got the coolest Amana fridge - stainless steel front, blacks sides with the freezer on the bottom. At age 40, I am tired of stooping over to see what is on the bottom shelf. Having the fridge part at the top - oh yeah. I'm in heaven. Not what I wanted for graduation - I was pretty upset that this will be my gift but when I woke up this morning, I was excited that we have it. What a lot of work though. We cleaned out the garage so that we could get the dead one out, then I had to unload the house fridge so the boys could move it into the garage after they moved the dead one. Then they had to move in the new one and I had to fill it up and clean the "new" garage fridge. I was draggin' ass but had enough in me to stay up to visit with Seester, Bird and Marc. I love sitting out by the fire - drinking and gabbing. Was a fun weekend for me. Now I have to clean the house over the week to have it ready for the party on Saturday. Anyone wanna help?

Anyway, I picked up the 10 sweaters for a total of $2.71 - with most of them being cotton for yarn and a few of them are wool for felting or ripping for slippers. One of them is an old wool sweater hand knit in Norway ----- very, very nice and in fabo condition...I'm sure it is worth a bit so not sure what I'll do with it yet.

One week from Friday ---- Graduation! Yee-haw! Sure can't wait to do what I've dreamed of for years...walk across that stage. It has been a long jouney but I'm nearing the end. Then I get the added bonus of paying off the school loans.

Had a good weekend. DH, his sister Kay and her son, my friend Shannon and I hit the inbred Granger Lakefest. We had a nice time and they had a chance to drink all the beer they cared for. Shannon got sunburned and I was lucky enough to snag a little sun myself. I didn't buy any trinkets but we did look around and bought food. It was a fun time. We sat on the sidewalk, under the business awnings and people watched. Quite a few interesting, umm, people there.

Can't find my office keys. I hate this. I have a set that has a car key and the office keys - MIA. I hope they're in the backseat of hubby's truck. Last I remember, they were hanging on the hall tree. Yeah, like I can remember anything.

Cleaned my home office! I filed paid bills, cleaned out the roll around cabinet and moved the ribbon into the wicker drawer thing that I bought at a g. sale last weekend, put away books and mags, cleaned under the desk. I still have some work to do in there but it is already in much better condition. It'll also be much better once I get the yarn and fabric stash down to a more manageable size. I need to get Seester over there to take away some yarn. I wonder if she has a plan for what she wants to make so she'll know what she wants to take. In addition to making some more shorts for GB, I also want to make some of the cool ties for this summer. Guess my list would look like this:

1. Finish Sweater Afghan

2. Jessica's baby afghan

3. GB shorts

4. Cool ties

5. Sewing Repairs

6. Two tanks - one to bead and both to resize for skinnier me.

Speaking of g. sales....hubby bought a book for $1 and there is no telling what it is worth. "I am Frank Hamer" and when I researched on half.com...there is a reprint 1998 softcover for $180. Hubby's is the 1968 HC + signed by both authors. Yeah, glad we have the alarm on the house.

Well, I think I sailed through the test for my next to last advertising course. I thought that last time and with their subjective grading...I ended up with a 70 something. Boy, I was pissed. I've taken quite a few tests in my life and I can't imagine walking away from a test I think I aced, just to have them mark it in the 70s. Maybe he'll give the class a healthy curve and I'll do better than I think. Yeah, right. Either way, I know I passed the course so I am finished with that. Tomorrow is the test in advertising sales which I have an extremely high A - good thing since I want to go into sales. This was a breeze class for me. The prof has this horrible attitude but I can't help but like him. I have a chocolate chip on my shoulder too so let's band together.

Haven't touched a needle in a while. I think I'm going through withdrawal. End of semester tomorrow and then my Spanish final on the 14th - oughta be knitting, crodering, and sewing like a demon soon!

Speaking of the KnitList - how's come they let the talk continue on and on and on about the interchangeable needles? It is almost every day that someone else asks - Hey, whatda ya think of the interchangeable needles? Then, everyone who wrote yesterday, writes today about how great they are. Hello? Then there is the typical I'm taking a flight, can I take my needles on board + do you know of yarn shops in that area? Answer #1 - ask the airline, we don't work for them. Answer #2 - you're obviously on the Internet, look up shops for that area like the rest of us that don't clutter the list. Rant Off.

How come my family can't understand the concept of the upside down catsup bottle? I bought it so that it doesn't have to be shaken down to be squeezed. Every time I grab the bottle outta the fridge, I still have to since someone always puts it back in there with the lid up. I might as well go back to the other type bottle.

Another question, why do people write that they do this or do that ---- to pass the time? What time are you trying to pass? Time until you win the lottery, time until you die? What? I just don't understand that concept. Either I'm dense or they are. Maybe it is me.
