Saturday Sky on a Sunday

the weather yesterday was just nutty.  during the pre-dawn hours we had some thunder and during the day it went from sunny and warm (75 degrees people!) to cloudy back to sunny finishing off with a big ass thunderstorm.

the sky changed from sunny and clear to ominous in a matter of minutes, giving me just enough time to get a few shots.

very wizard of oz, you know, minus the witch and the flying monkeys.

Five More Days

teresa commented on yesterday's post that i still owe you all numbers 12, 13, and 14.  so here's what i put together for her last night:

12.  i'm a very safe driver leaving 2 to 3 car lengths between me and the driver in front of me.

13.  i've been known to study recombinant DNA

14.  i kiss my car

and now for number

15.  i do not have a tattoo and nor do i ever want one.  i had a henna tattoo on my arm once and by day 3 i was scrubbing it off so i think i'm too fickle to commit to ink.  but on july 4, 2000 i did get my navel pierced.  it was my way of celebrating our nation's birthday.  heh heh. 

for sandy  a little bit of sky.

I Live In Springfield

And my neighbor could be Homer Simpson.  What do you think?

my local sky looks a little cartoonish.  don't you think?

Can't Call Me a Quitter

see?  this blanket?  looks simple enough, doesn't it.

i mean, it's garter stitch...  how hard can it be?

well see those bits of green and orange?  that's lion brand microspun.  and can i just tell you, AT THE RISK OF ANGERING THE LION BRAND PEOPLE, THAT MICROSPUN IS THE SPLITTIEST, MOST AWFUL YARN SHORT OF CRAZY ASS NOVELTY CRAP TO KNIT EVER!!!   every stitch, every row was torture. 

and the tangling messes that came about from the 4 different yarns didn't help either.   but the blanket is done and ready for my new niece (or nephew -- my sister in law is still holding out despite the fact that the doctor says it looks like a girl).

and the last saturday sky of the year .... look, it's snowing!

Month by Month and a Saturday Sky

Seen at Femiknit Mafia first.

Instructions -- Copy the first sentence that you posted in each month of 2006. Post it in the following format:

January
Happy New Year everyone ...

February
get your own cloud

March
so it's march.

April
am i the only one who is a little sad that march is over?

May
one last siren song for the colors of april.

June
it's june people!

July
as i type this i can hear french supporters partying in the streets.

August
i'll let you read about notre dame, because everytime i go, i'm rendered speachless speechless (and totally freakin' unable to spell).

September
roses tremieres, or hollyhocks, grow all over the place in the department of charente-maritime where my parents live. 

October
i want to thank you all for your support to my last post.

November
i've spent the past couple of weeks working on a baby blanket for my future niece or nephew (the doc says it looks like a girl, the mom says it's a boy -- tune in in January) and it has sucked.

December
first let's start with the official business here .

for a bit there i was afraid that the first sentence of each month would just be a listing of the months.  yo! it's july!  here's august.  wow, september already?  october!  uh oh, november.  december, come to me baby!

Saturday Sky

and 18 more days....

I Wonder What She Sees...

Just Under The Wire ...

i give you sky on a saturday...

taken about a month ago at 5:28 am. 

First Storm of the Season

today's sky is gray.  it's been raining all day, perfect for watching tv and knitting.

i taught my first crochet class today.  by myself.  i think it went well. 

Saturday Already?

see what happens when my parents come and visit?  i totally forget about eye candy friday!

here's my saturday sky...

ok i've got to go.  i'm getting ready for the MOKS and Roll Traveling Drunk Show Caravan...woo-hoo!

Summer's Back

it's a little warm and humid but today's sky is definitely a september saturday sky.

some yarn that i scored today at the store for 50% off because all of the skeins were orphans.  sweet...

It's Not Even 9am

and i'm already aggravated.

j was supposed to go work overtime today but decided at the last minute not to.  this is annoying for two reasons.

1.  i was looking forward to having a saturday to myself to do stuff around the house, clean up clutter, do some spinning.  it's impossible to do that kind of stuff with him around. 

2.  he sleeps through alarms, so i have to get up at the crack ass of dawn in order to wake his ass up.  fine whatever when he actually ends up going to work.  annoying, when he gets up only to call in and tell them that he's not coming in.  YOU MEAN I WOKE UP AT 6:00 ON A SATURDAY FOR NOTHING???!!!

3.  miss-i'm-getting-out-of-the-house-don't-expect-me-back-for-another-two-months had me running around in our weed infested backyard looking for her after she escaped.  once they've seen the next street over, there's no keeping them on the farm.

4. our printer/scanner is out of black ink.  it will not scan without replacing the black ink.  YOU DON'T NEED FRIGGIN' INK TO SCAN!!!!

ok, i've gotten that out of my system.

here's my new favorite spot in the house.

the table and chairs were picked up yesterday.  it's such a bright and sunny spot.  (and the windows are filthy -- don't look at them).

remember this?  this is what i'm making with it.  i'm on the sleeves now.  two at a time.  hope to finish it (and actually like it) by labor day.  and then become blond and thin by the following tuesday. 

and last but not least, this week's saturday sky.

Saturday Sky

yeah yeah i know.  yet again...another france picture.
