Ever think you're a Rock Star?

Sometimes I think I am a Rock Star and I hit the bottle - or bottles in this case a little too hard ... usually this is done on a week night, so I inevitably have to go to work the next day. I am also very friendly with by boss ... which means I called her last night half way through my Rock Stardom ... which means I REALLY have to go to work the next day or else try and come up with a better excuse than having a hangover.

Well I made it through half the day, albeit very painful and will have to make up a few hours this weekend.

I plan on going to the yarn store tomorrow morning to see the ladies from the knitting group there. I also hope to drum up some business for my Mary Kay business while I am there. Then in the evening I have a Skin Care Class scheduled.

That's about it for me, its been a long and painful day.

Its a Rainy, Sticky, Humid Day ...

And what better way to spend it than working on some socks! I haven't finished up my Firestarters yet, but will shortly ... and hopefully before the 30th so they can count towards my June socks for Sock A Month.


I don't have much in the way of knitting to share photographically with you, but I figured I would share one of my favorite knitting related items! My Go Knit Pouch. I really do love it. The strap inside does indeed keep the yarn from tangling. The materials is super soft and slick so the yarn doesn't stick to it. The material is also very strong, so needles don't poke through it! Sometimes I forget where I last left it because I carry it all over the house with me, LOL!

Our Lucky Day!

We went to see Iron Maiden in concert last night. Usually, no matter how hard we try, we are always later than we want to be, get stuck in traffic, miss the opening of the show, etc. Well for some reason we were early this time! While we were sitting on the lawn waiting for the show to start (lawn seats were the only ones I could get no matter how hard I tried) a man walked over and asked us if we wanted some free tickets. We were like, "yeah right!" and he said no really these people didn't show up, the seats are about 25FT from stage, here take them. So my boyfriend grabbed them and I looked at them and said, they're real tickets! After we found our NEW seats and sat down it was pouring rain on the lawn!! I think this was the best concert for me, I had so much fun adn I think its because we got these awesome seats that we weren't expecting!

I think we found THE house ... now we need to find a way to come up with the remainder of the money for the down payment. We saw it for the second time today and after I crunch numbers and speak to the bank about specifics - we are fist time home buyers so we can put down less than usual. I think we'll make an offer.

Not much on the knitting front, I am still working on my Firestarters, I think I will bring them to work tonight and get a lot done, I want to finish them up for my June socks.
