Ooh

So I really wanted to buy a new bag, but the lexie barnes superstar messenger bag didn't have a zipper on top to keep everything from falling out when I stuff it under the seat when I fly.. so I appeased myself by buying a couple of needle cases. I thought since they were on sale and I was tired of the rubber bands keeping my dp needles together, hey why not? Santa didn't bring me that shiny bike I wanted for Christmas, so I will buy some needle cases. Now if they would just hurry up and come. WEBS emailed me and let me know one was on backorder but I think they are still sending the other ones? I hope so...

Christmas is Over

Christmas is over, and well, it was nice, but being away from family is hard. So goodbye 2008, it was a rough ride, hoping for a smoother 2009. I promptly took down the Christmas decorations on Saturday. My roommate got home and was like whoa, Christmas is over huh?? Haha, like the Grinch came in and stole all the holiday trimmings.. Well if I had a disco ball and a DJ table to put up for New Year's, I would be all over that. Hmmm.. the roommate did get one of those fancy margarita machines, maybe I should make snacks and declare it blended drink night....

So New Year's is fast approaching, but unfortunately I have to work on Friday... ugh.. which is hard since my friends want me to come up to my old town, SLO town... I really want to go but the old fuddy duddy in me says stay home and make drinks. Hmm...might get a wild hair and go anyways.. we will see if I get out of the office early on Wed, my guess is not so much... One can wish though, right?
I am looking forward to seeing my girlfriends though, I have not seen a lot of them in months and I miss everyone so much. Since moving here I don't really work with people my age and its been a challenge to make friends, since lets face it, Camarillo isn't the hot area for activities and nightlife.

Anyone live here? Cool chicks... like to knit, dance, take in a movie, martini???

Snuggly

So I am suffering from its not 80 degrees and I am not in Hawaii syndrome, haha.... So its finally raining down here in Ventura County. (Which seems to only happen a couple times a year). I actually love the rain.. I like the sound it makes on the roof, it makes getting out of my snuggly bed fricken hard. Like hit the snooze button 3 times and think about just not getting out hard.
I have been having sort of knitters block lately, I think its because I tend to over-think my knitting sometimes. I have been making these handwarmers and they use the increase M1, but there are two ways to do a M1, a right slanting and a left slanting. So I am wondering if I need to use both when making handwarmers or not? Since I am increasing for the thumb part, I hate it when my knitting looks wonky and I was doing the M1 left then the M1 right and I either missed something somewhere or it just didn't look right to me, so I guess I just need to get over it and try a swatch piece or something. Anyone have any ideas? I think the last time I made these I just used the kfb increase method, because again I think I got annyoed that M1 never specifies which M1, left or right... grrr...
