SO SO ANGRY!!!

I'm so mad right now!! My ditgal Camera is totally broken!! What makes matter worse is right now I can't just go out and buy one. Normally I would. But I have a but load of bills due at the moment. How I found out my camera is broken. I was taking pictures of my duaghter in her armwarmers. That I finally got finshed today. (note I have been knitting them off and on for a year or so) I was taking pictures of her outside. We took maybe two and the thing shut off. So I thought to myself I just need batteries. Go inside to look for some right, wrong don't have any. So then I drive to town and but over price Lithium Batteries. Put them in nothing . Call Kodak they said my camera is broken somewhere on the inside. Which is total crap . I mean IF I HAD DROPPED IT I COULD SEE THAT> BUT I DIDN'T DROP IT!!!! SO I find the receipt bought the thing in October 08 2005. So then Kodak tell me there's only 1 year warranty on the goofy thing. Just great @!!!!! So I mean It has lived a good life and Since 05 I have taken around 4,000 pictures !!
It just sucks because I got a huge shipment of yarn in and I planned on dyeing it and putting it on line in my etsy shop and well now I can't . I can't without Pictures. So I pretty tick off at the moment. I had even planned to release some of my new colorways in the next couple of weeks. Now I can't even do that. Stink bills and cost of living going up. What I need is A VERY EARLY 30Th B-Day present .!!!

Knowing me I will probably buy another Kodak too (eventually) because I have the Kodak All in one printer and the soft ware is already on my computer plus it take great pictures!!!

I'm Alive

I am a very bad blogger. I'm very sorry. Well I promise I have been knitting. I finished a pair of socks for my nieces birthday. Plus I have been knitting a pattern called French Market Bag it's from knitty. I have also started knitting a baby gift for my friend. She's having a girl. The pattern is called Smock Coat by Debbie Bliss. It's such a cute coat for a girl. On the reading front I have finished the book The Friday Night Knitting Club. Let me tell you it was good very good. If you haven't got it go get it . You should be able to find it at Sam's Club for about 8.00 which is a great buy.

In other news the reason I haven't been on here is because my Daughter had surgery on her colon and everything attached to it. Then the very next day I had emergency surgery on my teeth and jaw. The surgery it self was OK. Except I am highly allergic to the stuff that knocks you out to and numbing stuff so I had to be awake and feel the hole thing. Then Recovery time starts Right!! Not for me I wound up being allergic to 3 different types of antibiotics and I had to have the stitches removed was to early because I was allergic to the stitches. Who knew you could be allergic to stitches . Well I am that 1 in 1million case. I have always been that way. I 'm just glad they took them out. I already feel 100% better. Know I have a few more things to add to my allergy list. I would wish what I go through on anyone. I am just glad I can eat and talk know. Plus most of the pain is gone.

On a lite note I planted a garden . I planted everything in pots. Stay tuned for pictures. !!

Happy Knitting Have A Wonderful Day!!

Water Main Break!!!

Water main break on the property!!!Let just say everyone around here has had it share of water pipes breaking. Sunday was spent planting flowers and fixing yet another water pipe. This time it was by my in-laws house. My husband and nephews and bother in-law and father in-law spent the day digging a huge hole and trench to drain all the water just to fix the pipe. Thank heaven they didn't have to dig the whole drive way up and hill side. But I will tell you my husband is 6ft and well you can see all the water and how big the hole is. Good Job Boys!! The pipe is finally fixed. How many women think there husband is hot when they are dirty?

In other news.. Now that I am done being sick (hopefully) I can getting back to knitting. I have been working on two different socks. I have been making a sock for my self and one for my cousin who wants to knee high socks. In the knee high sock I am putting a cable pattern down the back of the sock. Hopefully she will like it pictures to come soon.

Right now I am currently read two books . The first on is A New Earth (it was on Oprah's book list) It definitely makes you think. My husband and I are both reading it and I have to say he's currently beating me. I am also reading A Murderous Yarn by Monica Ferris. It's about a yarn shop that does everything but they love needle point. This author has a whole serious about yarn. They are all murder mystery's . How cool Right? I also have on order The Friday Night Knitting Club.. It should be here by this Friday. I can't wait.
