Running Away

Did you ever consider running away when you were little?  I don’t think I ever did.  I always told my parents that I would go to Delta College and live in the neighbor’s house because I knew where both of them were.  I think not knowing where things were really freaked me out.  I don’t [...]

Virginia

I’ve finally arrived in Virginia.  Even though its only been three weeks since I left A here to start Quartermaster school, I felt like I would never get here.  And the drive, so not fun.  Ohio, as always was uber boring and smelly.  I’m sorry Ohio, but you are the armpit of America, you smell.  [...]

Holy Crap

Well it’s been awhile. I’m not much further on my way to losing that 15 pounds, but I’m working on it. It’s amazing how hard it is to get yourself started on working out regularly when you haven’t done it in awhile. It’s depressing, honestly, which makes it harder for me get [...]

Stress and Excitement

I’ve finally finished Swell! Yay! I just have to block it so that it doesn’t look like a pancake. I hope it doesn’t end up being too big. Will said he doesn’t care, he’s excited to wear it all the time. I doubt that that is really true, but whatever.
So [...]

I’ve Decided

Well I finally picked what project can replace the spot that Nora’s blanket previously held. I’m going to do the Celtic cable scarf. I figure that a flat scarf is a good place to practice and get the hang of cables. Plus, Celtic cables appeal to my Celtic roots. [...]

Looming Birthday…..

It’s that time of year again, my birthday is around the corner. Yesterday I seemed all excited when I talked about Threadbear, and I am excited, for buying yarn. That getting older part, not so fun. Ok, so I am not getting *that* old (23 is not old, right?), but still, I [...]

Harry Potter Movie #6…… oh no!!!!!!

OMG I am more pissed than I have ever been. Warner Brothers moved back the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to July of next year. That is almost an entire year from now. There is immense anger in my heart for Warner Brothers. How could they do this [...]

Crazy Week

The past week has been crazy. Over the weekend I took the train to Chicago for an in-person meeting of my all-women investment club. I was helping to organize and lead the meeting, so it was a bit stressful for me. I had to do a bunch of things for the lead [...]

People looking for a turtle to knit

So I’ve noticed that a lot of people who come to my blog are searching for knit turtle. I guess since I know of a turtle pattern and since the name of my blog is the knitting turtle, that I should link to the pattern so that people looking for a pattern here can [...]

Nerdy Influence

So here I sit today in my boyfriend’s RTFM shirt (it smells like him and he’s gone for the weekend), reading digg and wishing I could play Diablo II or Lego Indiana Jones instead of being at work and a realization dawned on me. Despite the fact that I can not understand binary, I [...]
