I am sooooo glad it is Friday. I am pooped. I have not been sleeping well. Last night I got all restless and sat up until 2 in the morning on the laptop listening to music, knitting and just goofing off in general.  The night before, I went to bed at 10 ish and was watching the Dateline episode about Phil Spector and fell asleep on the last 10 minutes of it. I was discomboobilated because the news was on when I woke up. Plus, I looked like the picture above! I hate falling asleep unexpectedly because I always have a WTH moment when I wake up. 

So here I sit at work. I have my ‘do a little work, goof off a lot’ system going right now. I lied, I did a lot of work, I just don’t feel it was very constructive. Plus there was a nice looking man here distracting the mess out of me.

Hugs Needed

I was knitting that hat for my buddy. I don’t think we will last long enough for me to finish and I have an inch to go. Dang nab it.

I am just not happy with him. Just when I feel like ‘wow, he could be special’, he says something to tick me off.  I know I am sensitive and such, but still, dude could censor himself. I tell him he has diarrhea of the mouth. He might die of dehydration if he doesn’t watch that. I feel unappreciated. I like to do for people, but will stop if I feel like the love is not returned. And yes, I told him how I felt, so he shouldn’t feel like I am coming out of outer space when I tell him to step. So that is where I am right now. I will finish the hat, but who knows about the friendship.

Hey! I just realized that is why I am having sleeping issues! cheese louise.  I don’t need a boyfriend, manfriend or whatever if this is what will happen.

It finally clicked in my little brain that I had better get started on my Christmas knitting list. 

So I started on a hat for my buddy using some super sexy alpaca yarn.  I am knitting this hat for him (he doesn’t know it is for him of course) when he asks if I could knit him a rasta hat. The hat I am making is nowhere near a rasta hat. It is a beanie. And it is almost finished. I am trying to keep boo warm since he always complains of being cold.  So I am like, should I keep knitting this hat and give it to him anyways or should I give it to some other person? If I didn’t have such a huge head I would rock that myself.

Anyhoosen, my goal is to have a no new yarn Christmas and use up some of my yarn stash. Then I can buy more yarn. But I will throw some D’s on some more alpaca. I didn’t know the magical softness of alpaca. I told my buddy to sqeeze it and he said I liked the yarn more than him. That may be true. No it isn’t. I like him like the Academy liked Sally Fields. (I think you have to be over 30 to get that one)

I bought the Hello Kitty Photo Album for my FLY Fusion pen too. It comes with little stickers that do something when you touch them with the pen.  My dad went and bought a pen too. It is really funny how the student has become the teacher. I got my love of gadgets from my dad. I think I was the son he could never have since he had all girls and then remarried to a woman with two girls also. I always felt kinda sorry for him being the only guy in a house of women. But then again, he always spent the MOST time in the bathroom and there was only one bathroom in the big ol house we lived in. So I don’t pity him too much anymore, especially thinking back on having to go to my grandpa’s house a block away to use the bathroom becuase my dad was doing his weekend spa treatment in the bathroom at home. He would go in all grungy and furry- He always worked as a plumber, welder or some other heavy duty job, and two hours later would come out clean shaven, smelling like cologne and the bathroom would be extremely foggy. I didn’t trust that fog, taking a long time in the bathroom to me meant you were going boom boom. I would hold my breath and do my bidness and run out, run into my room and breathe again.

But I digress….

My buddy will get that hat. And I will complete all of my knitting projects by Thanksgiving.

Yep. I sure will.
