Me and my JoyJoy (7yo) left the house at 9:45pm to go to a midnight showing of Harry Potter 7 - The Deathly Hallows part 1 in Kent, WA. There were these crazy kids who were throwing around a ball around the theater which was alot of fun. They decided that they would play games down at the front of the theater. Of course, when they said Duck, Duck, Goose....I was IN!!! Of course I pooped out early...and I wasn't the only one.
Anyway, the movie was awesome and was left with a cliffhanger, like we all knew it would but DAAAAAAAMN!!!!! For being a 2 and a 1/2 hour movie, it really didn't feel like it. Joy, of course, fell asleep before it started. And then slept through the whole movie. At least she was being good.
Then, since someone just had a nap and was wide awake we went to Shari's for dinner/breakfast. These women in the booth behind me were talking about Harry Potter and "They should have put this in it, that should have been longer" and they just went on and on. We should all know by now that books turned into movies are always missing something. You can only put so much of the book into the movie. Everyone had to be a movie clinic. Its a cool movie and that's all I need to know.
Thanksgiving-----
I will not complain or make any snarky remarks about going to my in-laws for T Day. I really, really want to cook something substantial to contribute to dinner. Anyway, I was to go down to Longview and just chill. Make the hubby happy and not complain about his family.
Later,
Gators

Loyalty
When do you just walk away from something that you love and have been loyal to for a few years? When do you just say "Fuck it"? When you realize that the feeling isn't mutual...what do you do?
Now I may just be "emo" right now because its that time of the month but its been a thought in the back of my mind for a while. No, its nothing marriage related. Me and the hubster are solid...as always.
On another note, my friend found these pics on the internet from a really long time ago. I was and actually am getting back into Dear Jane and Quilted Diamonds Quilts and these pics were taken during a retreat that I went to.

Blogging revisited
Yeah, I know its been a while since I've blogged. Honestly, I just did have anything to say. I still really don't. So I've decided that I will just babble and babble about nothing and/or everything that comes to mind.
These last few months have been so stressful financially. We have finally used our EASY button to restart our situation. We've moved to Des Moines, WA, thank goodness. It was a stressful and emotional move and I was going to kill SOMEONE ... ANY ONE if they didn't watch it but luckily there were no fatalities.
Our new (its old but new to us) house is similarly laid out like our old house, it just slightly smaller. I knew I had alot of stuff but DAMN, I have ALOT of stuff. I will need to downsize quite a bit. I already have brought a load to Goodwill, but I need to go through more stuff. I would like to make weekly trips to Goodwill and or sell off some books to a used book store.
I hope to blog more. I think I have things to say...probably lame things to say but words just keep roaming around in my head and talking to a computer makes me feel more sane that talking to myself.
Anybody still out there?

The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test
Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...
Pure Geek
39 % Nerd, 70% Geek, 35% Dork
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek.
It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.
Which, you are.
Congratulations! You're the one on the RIGHT!
Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

Charlie the Unicorn 2
GLUB!!!! GLUB!!!!
Kareoke...
Charlie the Unicorn 2 Banana Song
Charlie, you look quite down.
With your big fat eyes, and your big fat frown.
The world doesn’t have to be so grey!
Charlie, when you’re life’s a mess,
When you’re feeling blue, always in distress,
I know what can wash that sad away.
All you have to do is;
Put a banana in you’re ear!
(A banana in my ear?)
Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear.
It’s true (says who?) So true.
Once it’s in your gloom will disappear.
The bad in the world is hard to hear,
When in your ear a banana cheers,
So go and put a banana in your ear!
Put a banana in your ear!
(I’d rather keep my ear clear.)
You will never be happy if you live your life in fear.
It’s true (says you.) so true,
When it’s in the skies are bright and clear.
Oh every day of every year,
The sun shines bright on this big blue sphere,
So go and put a banana in your ear!

Charlie the Unicorn
I apologize now to have to subject you to this kind of torture.
But if you like the catchy tune....
The Candy Mountain Song
Oh, when you’re down and looking for some cheering up
Then just head right on up to the Candy Mountain Cave
When you get inside you’ll find yourself a cheery land
Such a happy, and joyful and perky merry land
We’ve got lollipops, and gummy drops, and candy things
Oh, so many things that will brighten up your day
It’s impossible to wear a frown in Candy Town
It’s the Mecca of lovely candy cave
We’ve got jelly beans and coconuts with little hats
Candy rats, chocolate bats, it’s a wonderland of sweets
Ride the candy train to town hear the candy band, candy bells
It’s a treat as they march across the land
Cherry ribbons stream across the sky into the ground
turn around it astounds it’s a dancing candy treat
In the candy cave imagination runs so free
So now Charlie please will you go into the cave!
Stay tuned for Part Deux!!!!

My Space Rocks!!!! & Happy New Year!!!
You know, I don't know if a lot of these celebrities on My Space really check their own mail on there but it fun to think you can actually send them a message. If you have a My Space, add me...I can always use more friends.
On the knitting tip, I have more projects going that ever before. The month of December gave me pneumonia and contrary to what you knitters might think, I did not feel like knitting. I was in so much pain and agony that pain meds didn't even help. You would think being stuck in bed and not being able to go to work I would get LOTS of projects done....NOT!!!! I finished 1 Christmas present just in the nick of time. I'm still waiting to the recipient to take a picture so I can post it on my blog. I finish so little that my blog is lacking in Finished Object pics.
I'm so glad 2007 is over...the last few months have been very, very hard in the home front. We have high hopes for 2008. 2008 will bring our 10 year anniversary and we hope to do something big like a DJC & J C Knitnstuff 10 Year Anniversary Gala!!! Really, who doesn't like to dress up and party?!?!?! Now if I can only get some people to take ballroom dancing lessons with me.
