Jess Knits a bit: Aint goin' no where.....

OK so its been wayyyy too long….I'm just chugging along lately and the chugs are getting further and further apart. I have done nothing creative what so ever. Although I guess maybe I'm lying because I did end up finishing my coffee table which had been sitting in pieces for about oh 8 or 9 months now. SO it looks ok. We had home depot cut the original 4 pieces of wood and I think they were off a little. We(as in the ex we were hanging out just being "friends" for a while) got the table saw out, that we probably shouldn't be using since it's the landlords and we didn't ask but its just sitting there all lonely in the basement yearning to be powered up, and cut 2 of the pieces in half and they were really right on for being in half but when its not cut right in the first place…....

SO anyway we start putting them together and just ended up getting frustrated and just put it together slightly off because we were running out of time. But I still got compliments on it. And I think Steve and I are probably the only ones who'd notice it.

Anyway that was all in preperation for my bday. I don't usually do bdays its just another day but then again the past 2 yrs it’s a reason to get the people I care about together and they have to come cause its my Bday…hehe. SO I just had 3 of my cousins over Tara, Jess and Erin who is my cousin form my mom's side and that was exciting because I hardly ever get to see her and we weren't really close growing up. So it was great getting to know her a little a bit. Plus she brought her dog Kitty who is a white boxer and her and Cecillia played for hrs. The yard was ripped up after the 2 of them were through running around. My cousins each brought there S.O.'s, Lee and Darci, Derek and Erin and Dave and Danielle. So it was a great night a bunch of crazy different people mingling together. Then Steve left in a huge huff in utter and complete ridiculousness, over a $5 poker game. Great, thanks.

Then Saturday Lee took me to the Sox and we met up with Darci and her friend Carrie after the game. And I spent the entire rest of the long weekend on the couch doing nothing.

This past weekend met up with Jess and Lauren for dinner on Fri night we went to Solas at the Lenox Hotel downtown. It was pretty good relaxing they didn't rush us at all. Saturday I was industrious woke up early went and cashed in all my bottles to the tune of $24.80 then went to Shaws and turned in all my old plastic shopping bags for recycling. And then headed down to Uncasville CT for Tara's bday celebration at Mohegan Sun. I had a really good time hanging out with the ladies (Lee, Darci, Tara and Kathy) The casino was well…not Vegas. Hard(impossible) to get drinks unless you're at a table but the tables were all full and the low limits were $20. I can't afford that. Although I guess had I spent my money on the tables I wouldn't have had to spend it on the drinks…. So anyway all that to tell you how I made my table….and now I am helping Lee with the colors for her condo…..I have the colors picked out Lee approved them last night now I'm working on drawing up a sketch of it. I also want to do this fantastic wall with both the living and dining room colors accent it with gold or bronze leaf and dark brown paint and use the mirror they already have as an accent. It's gonna look fabulous! So no knitting or sewing lately but I am heading over Jess' house on Sunday to help her with a sewing project and maybe I'll get a little knitting done myself in between sips of Jess' bday present, a bottle of Frog's Leap! Yeah!
