hallo, i'm back :)

i know i wasn't really gone anywhere. but i certainly wasn't in a knitting kinda mindset. thinking about boys. silly me! what was i thinking! nothing but a distraction. a good distraction as some are easy on the eyes. uh oh here i go again. can you tell i was a bit boy crazy when i was younger? really i've grown out of it! honest.

but i'm knitting again! i promise. i picked up the needles last night when i got home from seeing chocolate and the charlie factory...vodka helps. i reccomend sneaking some in if you haven't seen it, if you have go back. makes for an interesting experience.

but anyway i knitted, and i'm hooked again! i'm trying to finish up my OSW. it should be a matter of hours now...of course i always underestimate these things. but i pulled on one arm and it fits so far, so that's a start. second sleeve and ribbing is all i have to go :) i'm getting excited!

and i have to finish my mom's boatneck sweater. no its not done yet can you believe it one measley sleeve to seam up. geez. its gonna be a night of finishing, and if i'm lucky i'll get to cast on! what for ??? well... my yarn came in for rogue!!! its killing me, i just have to cast on. but i can't cause i really wanna finish the OSW before i start something else!

but about the yarn, the color is gorgeous. and its sooo soft. i really do just have to get out the camera. its been a while, and a few fo's and theres tons photos to catch up on. hmm. maybe that's what i can do today. i'm off to take photos back later :)

oooooo yeay social knitting shirley just called and she's coming over to knit tonight! well she wants me to show her how to crochet but close enough! i can knit. she'll crochet. string will be knotted creatively :)

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
