Yep, I suck. I know I do. I keep telling myself I'm going to blog and I never get around to it. Sorry to anyone who still reads this thing. I'm still out here and I'm knitting more. Hopefully that will provide me with content to blog about.
Sorry for the long silence.Labels: Drive By |

I know, I suck lately with blogging. I'm sorry!
Now that the semester from hell is over, I'm hoping to be able to dedicate more time to knitting and blogging.
By the way, the study time that cut into both knitting and derby time paid off. I finished this semester with a B in Algebra and an A in Medieval History! Woohoo. Next semester is hopefully going to be easier on me. I have American Sign Lang. (in a classroom) and Psychology of Grieving (Online). I'm really looking forward to jumping back into the psychology courses. I am sick to death of math. -=giggle=-
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday!
Merry Christmas (a little early)Labels: Drive By |

| Sunday, October 19, 2008 |
Hey guys! I wanted to drop in and let you know that I am alive and well. I have been in a major knitting funk lately and I really haven't felt like picking up any project. Hence the long absence and failed knitting goals.
I wanted to also let those of you who read my blog know that I accidentally posted comments under my derby handle. If you see Detrimental Diva in your comment box, that would be me. Sorry about that. I'll post soon!!Labels: Drive By |

| I promised a post and unfortunately I can't do it right now. I apologize to all those out there. I do have this nice long blog in the making though. I hand felted the 2 hour bags (what a pain in the arse)! They are currently drying and I'll post pictures of them soon. I have knitting project additions and yarn purchases to speak of. I promise, a post soon!! Labels: Drive By |

| I wanted to drop in, quick like, and tell you that I am alive. I posted a picture of the Maze Baby Blanket (on the right under FOs) and I finished both Two Hour Bags. I'll post pictures of them pre-felting as soon as I get two minutes to myself. Hopefully that will be soon!!! Labels: Drive By, Maze Blanket, Update |

Why? Because I seem to be busy fighting one. I haven't felt well since Sunday night. Blegh, today I came home at around 11 because my stomach was in a total uproar and would not let me be. I feel a little better now.
Wanted to let you all know a post will come tomorrow (hopefully).
A huge and special thanks to Mary Catherine for sending me beautiful yarn!!! Picture will be posted tomorrow!Labels: Drive By, Sick, Update, Yarn |

| Doesn't Make Sense |
| Thursday, November 15, 2007 |
I have been searching the long lists of blogger skins, looking for a neat one. This was the most unique one that I found, that didn't annoy me and it still bothers me a little. It's that hole being to the right as opposed to the center thing.
Anyway, the real point of this post was to ask this... when people get dumped do they run and make a blogger skin. I have been sifting through so many "tortured soul/depressed lovers" that now I want to throw myself out my bedroom window. Although right now, I think I'll settle for throwing myself into bed.
Night night.
4 more days until Mississippi!!Labels: Blogging, Drive By, Emo |

I'm still here! As you may have noticed, my blog has drastically changed. Weeeelll I was trying to do something different, not knowing that downloading a new skin would erase damn near everything. Oh well, I'll just have to go through and try again.
I promise a post soon. I have just been really busy and my back has been acting up pretty bad so I have been hanging out on the couch.
Talk to you soon!Labels: Drive By |

Alright, let's see. Quick sum up until tomorrow.
I got my loan! I applied for another one and didn't tell anyone. I didn't want to jinx it! But I got it!! -=does a dance=-
I have started my first pair of socks! I used Red Heart Sport for them. The original yarn was definitely too slippery. I am pretty much just knitting a test pair and then I will knit a real pair. I want to see what problems I run into.
Oh and I finished the calorimetry. Miss Pounce is now the proud owner!

| I like that term. I think it's funny. Anyways, a quick post about what is going on. Ravelry is wonderful! When I am not stealing away a couple of moments on that I am playing video games. I promise I'll write a longer blog tonight or tomorrow. Labels: Drive By, Update |
