sorry guys

Sigh I'm just not going to make it tonight, I've just gotten past the point I was at when I ripped it (my poor fingers are numb).


Sorry team,   I'll write more about what happened  tomorrow, I will be able to make the early send period , so at least I'll get us some points then.

I need to got to bed now  I can hardly type I'm so sleepy.

knitting like a mad women

 So I was well along with my  handmade project for my kit when I realized I  would like the look of it better if i  used two strands of yarn rather then the one... so I ripped it, today,  I am going to be trying my darnedest to get it finished before the end of the night  and get my house some extra points (because my house is awesome  and should have all the points I can get them) So wish me luck I've got my Chinese take-away  yummy popcorn and a whole night of Britcom's on PBS tonight, I can do it!

  I've just gotten home from work and  sitting on my desk hooting at me was a small owl reminding me that I was running out of time to blog.  I don't have too much to write about really,    This  next week is the last full week of school then there are three days and it's over. I've really enjoyed getting to work full time in a classroom and I'll really miss the students and having a rewarding job.  This week my stepfather will be out of town so my mother and I are planning of having "girls nights" with foods we like and lots of girly movies, One of the nights two of our knitting friends are coming over and we are having a pot luck supper. They always ask about the swaps I do and what the people are like ( and i tell them how awesome you guys are.)  After that my parents are headed out of town and I'm cat sitting for the week for them and going to a very small doctor Who convention.  So lots to look forward to  really. I'm hoping I will mange to have all of my kit together and ready to send out by the 22 for the extra points, I've got a ways to go yet, but I think I'll make it  But I guess that's it from me, i'm going to tryand clean up a bit before I head to bed so that way i can enjoy my day off tomorrow and hopefully work a little on my swallowtail shawl. Night folks!

Ooooo I gots the pretty

  The very pretty yarn I've ordered for Misty came today, I am so glad I got myself  some of it too. It is soooo pretty I know she will love it,  a few of her other items came in today as well! Squee!  I wish i could share here what they are but (insert evil laugh here)  I must keep Misty in the dark :)
I hate that work has been keeping me from participating as much as I normaly would do during a swap. I haven't gotten to do any of the chats or  quidditch games.  I work an 8 hour day at a school and then if I'm lucky I have an hour and half between that and my job at a retail store (we wear read and have a bullseye logo)

Thankfully I have a few evenings off coming up in May just before the packages are set to go to Owl post.  i can't wait to get everything together for this kit. :)

Hi all another quick post from me, life keeps changing around me.   I am 99% sure now that I will have a job next year teaching which means that I'll be able to say bye bye to retail and to living  with my parents! Scary but exciting! I'm still not sure that Teaching is what i want to do for the rest of my life but i do enjoy  the work  and I'm happy that I'll have the chance to continue with it.  Also tomorrow is my Birthday, my friends are taking me out tonight to go to Mideveal times  for dinner. Tomorrow  I'm going to relax and do nothing. I can't wait :)

just in the nick of time

 It's 11:41 as I'm starting to write this, nothing like slythering in at the last moment! It's been a crazy week for me, my trip went well it was a great deal of fun and I hope I'll have some pictures for you  some time tomorrow.  I got home very late Monday night and I've pretty much stayed at work since then( I work at a school and  in retail) so I haven't really had any time to catch up  ( I haven't even unpacked yet and I'm getting seriously  low on underwear.)  I'm hoping I can get everything sorted tomorrow and  get in some Hogwarts homework. At least   my crazy week is over and I can go back to my slightly less crazy schedule. A big sorry to my house for not contributing to  the points this week, I'll try and make it up to you guys.
