Wife, mother, knitter, bibliophile, spaz. I am who I am.

I decided to stop dyeing my hair and let all the gray grow out… for now. I’m sure I’llcave eventually, but for now I’m all eff this.

I’ve got about an inch and a half grown out.

My FIL totally called me on it with a ,”What’s all that in there?!”

Without missing a beat Tony answered him, “Nine years of marriage.”

Grand Prismatic Spring

Located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, the Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest natural hot spring found in the US. The spring has a scalding temperature of 160 °F (70 °C), a total depth of 160 feet and a diameter of 300 feet. The vivid, rainbow colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water.

I am so, so tired tonight. I hardly slept last night…I think the window unit in our bedroom needs freeon (fryon? Frion?). Either way it was a total bummer because we hadn’t wanted to turn the air on yet anyway.

I think “Triple H” is an attractive man!

Currently reading Treason by S M Boyce, then 2nd in the Grimoire trilogy. I like it.

I’m out of both lighter shades of gray yarn. This puts the crochet squares on hold for an indeterminite amount of time.

Sometimes God randomly provides things like microwaves.

The kids at work tonight were insanely loud and I’ve had a headache for 4 days.

I grocery shopped for the next 4 days, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a little bit of snacks/fruit for my family for $52… but I didn’t buy coffee. Drat. But I did buy a half gallon of ice cream.

Doctor, one day I’m going to be someone that you trust completely, but I can’t wait for you to find that out. So I’m going to prove it to you, and I’m sorry. I’m really very sorry.

OH. MY. GOD.

I’m 7 granny square days in to April already! Oh the things you can accomplish when you sit on your butt all day.

I made “porcupines” for dinner.  Basically tennis-sized meat & rice + Italian seasonings meatballs covered in crushed tomatoes and baked.

I also made blueberry muffins from boxes for breakfast since I had the oven on.  We ate our porcupines for dinner with mashed potatoes, corn and a green salad and it was good.

I got several days behind on the 30 Day Shred because of the fibro so I started over again on 1 day, level 1 today.  I was happy to see I could follow the advanced moves person.  Tony didn’t do it with me, even though we’d agreed to restart it together, because his body is hurting all over from several hours of volley ball yesterday. 

I sat all that out because I was in terrible pain around my left ovary, I’m thinking it was a cyst, and I had knitting to do.  Plus 11yr old Niece #1 is suddenly a young woman and we sat and talked for hours about Nook books/apps and things we’ve read/are reading.  I can’t believe how grown up she is!  When Tony and I got married she was 2 years old, a tiny little bitty thing with blonde hair down to her butt.  Now she’s small woman sized, athletic and intelligent.

My headache has never gone away today, but it’s almost gone since I took migraine meds.  Bah.  I shudder to think of my pill cabinet by the time I’m 40.

I need to put up laundry but the kids and I all need showers and I need to clean the kitchen, so I think I’ll do that instead.

I just finished all my crochet squares for March!  On to April.

Yesterday’s episode of Doctor Who:  ALL THE RIVER AND DOCTOR FEELS OMG ALL THE FEELS.

I want to go see Star Trek!!

My head is going to EXPLODE.

I’m trying to talk Tony into doing the 30 Day Shred DVD with me, while simultaneously avoiding getting up off the couch. o_O  

I’ve never been so happy for it to NOT be Monday.

Yesterday at his Dad’s house, Tony left off playing volleyball with everyone to bring me 2 wild flowers.  A friend of my newly graduated sister-in-law’s accidentally snapped this pic!
Hannah asked why we looked so weird, I told her it was because I was laughing when he leaned in to kiss me. : )
Perfect timing.

I have made an owl hat!
A Mom at taekwondo is expecting and invited me to her baby shower the end of next month.  A couple weeks ago, in passing, she showed me a picture on Pinterest of an owl hat that she just loved—without asking me to knit it for her.  So I found the picture, and tried to reproduce it.
I love it!  I’m going to use the gold from the beak to knit some little garter stitch booties.

Jeremiah is in the shower singing the Cup song from Pitch Perfect…. which I believe is actually by Lulu and the Lampshades?

Either way, it’s cute!

Trip to Greeneville tomorrow to watch Tony’s baby sister walk in her highschool graduation, and following family time and dinner.

He wants to get up at 5 again to keep in with the new schedule he’s trying to get his body used to. O_• I told him we could get up and workout then, before we have to get the kids ready to leave for the day… but honestly I’d rather sleep til 8.

I have SIX 3” squares left to crochet before I’ve completed March’s squares, but my back and arms (and butt and legs) are so sore tonight working the crochet hook is making my arms hurt. Again: O_•

I love day shift. I hate ants. I love that Hannah’s writing “Best Friends Hannah Caitie Love Heart” on everything. I hate fibro. I love Taco Bell.

Wise words from Tony tonight when I whined that working out was supposed to make you smaller: Noooo… DIET and working out makes you smaller. Working out and eating whatever you want just makes your muscles harder underneath your fat.

Sigh.

Decided against grocery shopping.  Hurting too badly after sitting at taekwondo for an hour and a half.


Came home to find Tony watching Cry-baby.  Not sure how I feel about this movie.  Shrugs.

Need to do dishes.  Need to update my sky chart.  Need to make gold owl-feet baby booties. :-D
