Bored to the floor...

Ever wonder where the phrase "Cuppa-Joe" came from to describe a cup of coffee? I thought "Maybe it is because it rhymes with Cappuccino?". Joe and Ccino...

I am bored to the floor. Ew *inches closer to mysterious glob on the rug*...what's that?!

Ravelry has lost it's....novelty. It's really boring now. Although I get lots of messages and today I got an invite to join a yahoo group through a lady who has watched, and really liked, my Youtube fiber working tutorials. Warm fuzzies!

We visited a couple second hand shops today. I found two skiens of Caron cotton (I think it is caron) in red. I was so wanting some cotton to knit a face/dish cloth for my Mum from!! I saw a design online for one that said "I *heart symbol* U Mom". Althought the pattern is not free, I am pretty sure I can figure the pattern out on my own.

Then we hit Savers on the east side because rumor had it they were closing. They were and everything was 50% off! I found an old Karate America duffle with a full set of sparring gear that looked like it had only been used maybe once or twice! It was only $5 with the half off so I bought it. It had an out-of-date white and blue uniform in it along with a white, gold, and orange belt. Then I found an old attendance card from 1998 in the bottom!! Turns out that the foot gear is too small, but the hand and head gear is usable! I will probably still end up purchasing a new set, but this set I can keep at home for "sparring" with the punching bag. THWAP!

One of my teeth keeps aching. I suppose I will have to make arrangements to get it pulled since I have no dental coverage. *sigh* I also found more grey hair this morning. Cool beaners! I hope I have sparkling silver hair...none of that white stuff. I want silver!

I am putting together a presentation of basic self defense for my WTI (Wemyns Theology Insitute) group meeting that is coming up in December. We had a bit of a scedueling headache at the yarnshop, but I think it is all worked out now. I have been working on getting the stretches to move smoothly from one to the other and finally have that working. Then I have it all timed the 15 minute Goddess Mandala song. Sweet! It feels a lot like yoga.

I am doing so much going on December this year. I am going to the All Fiber Retreat that Susans is doing the first weekend of December. Then the WTI group meeting is the second weekend. Then my Mum is coming up to see me either the last of December or first week in January. WHEW!!

I am so sick of this demo I am knitting. I am ready to burn it. I have the pattern memorized so it is knitting up smoother than before with the corrections. It would be nice if I had time to knit on one of the FOUR projects I have sitting on the couch on hold since I started at the yarnshop. Sundays are my "knit on my shit" day. If I didn't set aside time for my knittins, I would never get around to them. And at that, I'm a bit peeved over. It's taking me ten times longer to complete MY projects than it has before. There is just no time for me anymore! Another thing I am peeved over.

Bartender! Slide me over a Long Island Iced Tea!!

Until next time...

I feel ripped off...

Warning! Ranting ahead!!

!

I bought an Aflac vison coverage plan last year along with an accident and dissability plan in hopes that I could curb my eye care costs. Turns out, they don't cover much of anything at all and I have been paying $25 a month via direct debit from my paycheck for 12 months for a little bit of nothin. I could put that coverage costs back and have more than enough to cover my costs! Good Goddess, they are such a rip-off! They only cover $35 in exam fees, and they only cover contacts and glasses AFTER 24 MONTHS FROM ENROLLMENT!!!! What fuckin use is that?! $25 per month for 12 months is $288!!! More than enough for a years supply of contacts and an eye exam!!

*&^%$#@ RIP-OFF!!

I wanted to cancel the plan 2 months ago, but they told me I could only cancel during "Open Enrollment" in November. So I have to still pay them till then.

*&^%$#@ RIP-OFF!!!

Then I called to cancel and they tell me the plan will continue until Janurary and I still have to pay them.

*&^%$#@ RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother-flippin-god-forsaken-unregulated-bullshit!! I am so angry with them right now!

Until next time...

First Snows of the Season

Already? They said we were gonna get a few flurries, but it's a blizzard out here!! The wind is seriously whipping and it is really snowing!  Last year we didn't have any snowfall until January!

 

I finished watching the 3rd Season of Stargate Atlantis and I found out that they killed Dr. Beckett! WHY! OH WHY!! *whimper* Why did they have to kill the charming, cute, Irish man?! *pout*

 

In other news...

We have had to replace the rear oxy sensor on the truck. Make a little extra money and something pops up to suck it away! Grrrrrrrr. The BF is outside, right now, in the flash blizzard, retapping the rusted screws for the oxy sensor. Poor guy. I will have a frozen meat stick for a BF instead of the warm fuzzy bear I love!!

On top of that there are early-outs two days this week and I will lose two of my daily routes each day. That is over $50 sucked from my paycheck....not to mention the two days off we had last week which is over $150!! OOOOh this next paycheck is gonna suck big time!

 

Think positive!!

Thankfully the drumcarder will be paid off. I don't think I will layaway anymore spinning equipment for awhile. The puter needs a new ram chip anyhoo and I would like to be able to get a 1 Giger. Oh yeah, and I have a highspeed flyer and fatcore bobbin on order to pay for as well.

 

The BF's Dad is considering taking us out to the local casino, HoChunk (or as we say "KerPlunk" because your money goes kerplunk into their pockets and not yours), for Thanksgiving. I am wondering if they really wanna do that because it will cost them a fortune for 4 people at a casino!!

 

I am progressing on the Secret of the Stole. I am so behind. I am on clue 3 while most everyone else is on clue 5...clue 6 this Friday. I don't remember if there are 5 or more clues to this thing. I love the yarn I spun for it. I may have to spin more later on, but for now I have plenty.

 

Mom said she should be able to come up sometime in December. I am so looking forward to seeing her, although she can get annoying when she is around all the time. We get along fine over the phone, it's just when we are together for long amounts of time is when there are issues! LOL I haven't seen her in four years so I can bear whatever annoyances she brings with her to see her again.

 

Until next time...
