When the house disaster started I was forced to move my computer to my bedroom because my school/comp room was part of the destruction. Well now that everything is as done as it is going to be for now I needed to move it back.
So two days ago I got up and felt motivated so I cleaned off all needed areas, unplugged and carted my baby out to it's new/old home. I really hate having to reconnect a computer, no matter how many times I have done it the wires and ports make my brain go wonky. lol But finally I get it all hooked up and organized and dusted and beautiful. I also found another ethernet cord and hooked Cam's pc up to the digi phone router. So then came the issue... the technician had told us we could just switch the wires back ourself and avoid another visit. Yea it didn't quite work out that way.
So I had to wait computerless and phoneless util the guy arrived today. I am very glad to be back online and Cam is beyond thrilled to be able to play on Mindstein again.
Dinner and a movie
*Big Sigh*
MIL finally took the rugrats overnight, she has been busy since opening the health food store so it has been a while and I was so ready! DH and I went out to dinner, stopped by 7-11 for a banana slurpee and then popped over to Blockbuster.
Yes, I know the crazy life of married parents in their 30's huh? lol
But I'm a simple gal and it was great fun and a damn fine slurpee! Let's see what did we rent...
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle - Immature, drug and sexual humor seems to be the only point of this film at all. It was great! Dh and I were both just cracking up laughing. Totally our brand of infantile humor. Loved it, may watch it again before it goes back.
Chappelles Show season 2 - I have been without tv for over a year so I had heard all about the show but not been luck enough to see it myself. Oh my dear hell! The Charlie Murphy/Rick James and Prince/b-ball bits nearly did me in.
Constantine - Yea you know what? It has Keanu and that's really all I care about. He could just walk around and read a grocery list for all I care. But I thought it was pretty good. It's not going to win any Oscars and I'm certainly no critic but it wasn't a bad way to spend 2 hours.
We still have Guess Who? and Dreamcatcher to watch. I just finished reading Dreamcatcher by S.King so I'm looking forward to the movie. His books usually do pretty well as movies, Green Mile was the most accurate, IMO.
We (MIL, Dh, Cameron, Teagan and me) went to watch Because of Winn-Dixie at the library today, it was a cute family movie. Cam and I read the book last week so it was nice to see the flick.

Speaking of schoolwork
I know I'm totally blogwhoring but this was great!
The kids had their work and I was starting lunch and blabbing to Blue on the phone. One of Cam's last assignments was to write a few sentences. I gave him a workbook from Starfall and on this page the story starter featured June and Duke and the snowman they made meeting a bad end.
Well I didn't think much of it past the part of actually getting Cam to create the sentences since pulling teeth actually would be an easier task. So I'm reading the starter blurb to him and asking him questions to get him thinking and Blue busts out in my ear JUNE & DUKE?! *rofl*
She is seriously guffawing in my ear and so I start laughing too. She asks if they have a dog named Spit. LOL So for the next 15 minutes she totally mocks my kids knockoff ghetto Dick and Jane wannabe workbook and by this point I have tears and can't even talk. So after a bit we compose ourselves and I say to her, "they used icecubes for eyes".
"What?"
"Um, icecubes... for the eyes. June and Duke used icecubes for the snowmans eyes."
Pause and hysterical laughter
"And *laugh* a prune for the nose"
So at that point she says I am totally makeing this up but I'm not and we burst into fits again and face hurts from laughing. That my friend, is a good day. :D
OMG they have the pages online so you can see them! LMAO
Ok so here is Snowy
and here is the facing page June and Duke

Change is good!
Wugh, I was SO sick of my old template. I tried to search for a new one but most of the free ones I found either seriously sucked butt or they just were not me. I'm a rather unique individual you know. LOL
I thought about trying to make one but I am less skilled at graphics stuff than I am at knitting if you can believe that.
So I just used another of the Blogger offered template but it is brighter. I really needed more color and that obnoxious green is working for me, for now.
It's 2:31, the kids have done all of their work for the day and I have cleaned the cat pan and the guinea pig cage. Well I think I'm pretty much beat. ;) I want to start my next book but I could knit also. *scratch chin*
GAWD have I mentioned I hate not having smilies on here? Yea I know only like 1000 times. But really, it's like having to talk without using my hands.

Let's see heah
Well nothing much going on in the yarn world, a few more rows onto the NEVERENDING YARNBAG. Are you singing that song? Are ya, huh huh?
If not you are too damn young and I hate you , you young nubile bitch. No I don't really hate you. Come here, I didn't mean it. I'm just getting testy because I'm turning 30 this year. I love you, I swear.
So I added (because Blue gave my lazy ass the code) a book list to my blog. YAY! I have read quite a few books lately but I'm blanking on most of them so I just listed the most recent and will keep track from now on. :D
I have THIS link in my sig line at Sybermoms because I love it so. I could play it in a loop all day. Of course my kids would bitch and the cats would probably run away but who cares. I would be happy! One day I will collect enough loose change to go buy the cd.

Prodigal Blogger again
Maybe I should change my name. lol Well I got into a "I suck and it's useless for me to try to knit" phase. Then I found a local group on meetup.com so I decided to go check that out because I am in DIRE need of friends of the adult persuasion.
It was fine, and so nice to be out of the house sans children, so I started working on my bag again. I had to go get another skein of yarn. Have I said that it's the Caron Simply Soft before? Well that's what it is if you are one of those types that care. It's the embriodery print.
So anyway, I guess I am back for now. ;) I visited my friend Blue's blog today and she had this weirdness test on there so I took it.
Off to rinse the dye out of my hair, Garnier 100% in Intense Auburn again for you freaks who care about that sort of thing. ;)
