Sorry it's been a while since I actually updated. :/ I've been crazy again.
But my next post shall be a big one. I promise. With lots of pictures. Why?
Because on Sunday my friends and I went to San Francisco to Japan Town for the Cherry Blossom Festival. :) So I'll be sharing those pictures with you just as soon as I upload them onto the comp for sharing. It was a blast, though.
Haven't done a whole lot on the knitting end. I've been working on another pair of Fetching for a friend, but something keeps going wrong every time. :( So we'll have to see.
Hope that everyone's having a good week!

SFCYS Topic #4
Let's pretend for a minute we all live in the home of our dreams, have land, and don't have to work so time is unlimited! It's Spring planting season! What would you grow? A little veggie garden? A bed of bright spring blooms? Or is your thumb so far from green that the only thing you'd be planting is your tushy into a nice chair on the porch to get some knitting or crocheting done in the nice breeze?
I've already decided that when I get things going and get a place of my own with a backyard, I want to have a little bit of both. I want to get some flowers in there, but not too many because I freak whenever I see bees and wasps and things like that. @___@ But I'd love to grow my own veggies and such. That'll be the main thing I'll grow. And then sit on the porch and knit while I wait for everything to start growing. ;)

SFCYS Topic of the Week # 3
Tell us how you started drinking coffee. Were you in high school or college and making it through all nighters? Did you get it from a family member? What drives your love of the bean?
My dad was the coffee nut of the family. He never left home without a cup. He would have a cup in his car when he came to pick me up from school when I was in the 2nd grade. My mom was a teacher at the school so he would often stick around and I would sometimes opt out to sit in the car. I always eyed his coffee because the weird substance fascinated me and I wondered why it was so addictive to old people. So I got really curious one day and decided to take a sip of the black brew. It was a little bitter but I liked it. And since then, I've been hooked. :)

SFCYS Weekly Topic #2
Since some of us is beginning to see glimpse of Spring, while others are still getting snow have you change what projects are working on? Have you put away the hats, scarfs and mittens, and brought out the cute tank top sweater projects and lacy wraps? Have you change yarn to something more lighter and cooler, not so heavy and bulky?
Haha, no. I actually joined a group on Ravelry that's aimed to keep you up-to-date on all your knitting and help you get Christmas gifts out of the way in a timely matter. So haven't changed anything, really. I'm not one to have yarn-color-swings to where my color likes change during the different seasons. I don't change anything for different seasons. :)
Sorry I haven't posted lately. Things have been crazy.
Hopefully I'll have a nice update soon!

Ugh.
Update on the puppy. Even though I had to convince him to let us keep the puppy, the puppy is now my dad's because he loathed the name Zeus for the little guy. His name is now Rocky. And he's a very strange one, but we love him.
I still need help with that cable on the Coronet hat. I follow what the pattern says, but the cable is scrunched up instead of spreading along the width like it's suppose to. Now I'm just getting frustrated. Which I hate. Rah.
Haven't done a whole lot of knitting. Haven't done a whole lot of anything for that matter.
Have some updates for the 101 in 1001 list.
2. I'm in the process of buying the car as we speak. The people I'm buying it from are holding it while I make payments. I should have it in my possession by the end of May at the latest. Huzzah!
24. I've already decided to frog 2 projects that have been sitting on the needles for a long time. I'm still digging up more UFOs so we'll see.
39. I actually went at it with this friend. We're cool now. Even went drinking and playing pool over the weekend. Was nice.
41. I actually bought a homeless man and his wife a meal. I had $20 to spend and bought them enough stuff for a few day's worth of sandwiches. I felt really good to help.
73. Starbucks is now a Sunday goodie. A reward for getting to church on time. Lol. And it's a treat from my parents. So who can complain? Besides I'm a sucker for a nice iced chai tea latte. ;)
77. It's amazing how lack of money makes one kick into high gear. No more fast food, no more pizza. It costs too much. And usually makes us sick anyways. Boo.
93. Well this one pretty much solved itself. It came in a form now known as Rocky!
That's it so far, but I'm happy with my progress. Yay me~
Hope everyone enjoyed their hump day!
