Twilight and First dates....

Oh MY! Have you been bitten by the Twilight Vampires? I have! I have read all the books but the last 4 chapters of the 4th book. I am in LOVE!

I wanted to go see the movie the day it came out but I didn't have the funds. So I just forgot about it and went about my days.
But then this morning around 10:30am my Nana called me saying that my 12 year old cousin wanted to go watch it with her friend. But she was afraid that the movie was a true Vampire movie that would scare my cousin silly. After telling her about the movie/book she was ok with it. I told her I never got to go watch it. She said if I would drive them to the movies she would pay my way in. (My nana trusts me with my cousin more than anyone.) So I said sure! Whats the harm in that. It will be me and a 12 year old and a 13 year old. No big deal.

Well I went to get ready and my nana called me back. She had found out that the girls was going to meet there boyfriends there. (Maybe that should be wrote Boy Friend. Not boyfriend.As they don't kiss,hold hands or anything else....anyways....) I told nana that I would sit right behind them and nothing would happen. So she chilled and all was well.

I got to my nana's to pick up the girls and my nana hands me her car keys! OMG No one ever gets to drive her car. I was sooo excited. (sorry for the OMG but I love her car!) After the girls primped we was off to the movies. I kind of teased the girls on the way there by asking there boy friends names. (Matthew and Brandon) Then I would ask them who is going to try and hold hands. They blushed 20 shades of red! LOL It was way funny. But they are cool with me. They know I will not say anything to them or anyone else unless things went to far. But Holding hands and hugging is ok. Anything else and we would leave and Grandparents would be told! (My cousin and her friend both live/are being raised by there grandparents.)

Well all in all things went great. My cousin got a hug for about .2 seconds lol and her friend held hands. It was all very sweet and funny. Funny because they was shy and bashful...all 4 of them! lol I think they all had a good time. The girls was wispering in the back seat the whole way home. I heard every word of it ofcourse. I might be getting gray at 28 but my hearring is still good! ;)

Oh about the movie...(sorry I got wraped p in the first date ordeal! lol) The movie was wonderful! I cryed thru almost the whole thing. But I have to say that the only one who really looked like a Vampire to me was James. (Man is he hot or what??? To bad they tore him to peices and burnt him. *sigh*) Thre was also differences in the movie from the book. Most of the time I nevr notice this. But these stood out like bad.
There was one added part,i don't remember it from the book, about why she moved to Fork. It was nice. Over all I HAVE to OWN the movie when it comes out!! It rocked that much! If you haven't seen it go watch it. If you can't afford to go watch it at http://www.watch-movies.net/movies/twilight/ for free.....you didn't hear it from me. *winkwink* lol

Have a great day and remember to pack your pepper spray! ;)

If you read this don't forget that comments make me want to post more. So POST already! ;)

Spinning

This past Thursday I did me some spinning. I have an Ashford Kiwi! It is a wonderful wheel. Even tho I have never taken a class and I have only seen someone spin 2 times in my whole life but I am spinning real yarn! It surprises me every time I spin. I will post my finished yarn as soon as it is finished!

Here is some yarn that I have spun in the past.

(Drop spindled yarn) This was undyed Merino that I dyed in the microwave with orange kool-aid. The yarn has cork screws in it but it was my very first. I have not knit with it yet. I think I am going to save it for ever as a reminder of how I got started! I think this came out to 17 yards.
This is some hand dyed roving that a friend from Ravelry sent me. It was wonderful stuff. It is a single ply yarn. The white spots in the yarn is where the color didn't soak all the way through the roving. I love its look! I haven't knit with it yet either. lol This came out to 62 yards. It was 1 ounce of roving.

Now this is my first and only time so far at plying. I spun up some undyed Merino and some Black Merino then played the 2 together. I love the look of it. I almost dyed the white red and then plyed it with the black. But I didn't want to wait for all of that. So I just went for it. lol I have to say that I think it looks wonderful. Once again I have not knit anything with it. I think this is around 60-70 yards.

In life news....I think I am starting to lose it. For the last 5 days I have been meaning to buy some dish washing liquid. But everytime I go to town I forget it. Then when I get home I remember it. UGH I hate doing this! I am now 100% out of it and will have to make a special trip tomorrow just for dish washing liquid. I really need to put a list on the fridge and write things down everytime I think about needing something. But I am not that orderly. lol Any hints out there for keeping things straight? I need it!

I have my Yule tree up! It looks so pretty! It is a 3 feet tall fiber optic tree. I have some silver garland on it,purple glass balls (shinny ones and frosted ones),holographic purple icecicles and a red bow for the top of the tree. I will post a good picture of it soon. The one I took tonight didn't come out so great. lol

Well thanks for reading my second post on my blog. I hope to keep this up. So please drop me a comment and let me know your still reading! :) Have a wonderful day/night!
