about the little video. I do not agree with everything he says. I think everyone should be able to come to this country (and not have to pay thousands of dollars too) and become a citizen. I have family and friends who are came to this country.
The points I agree with are with congress. I think they should pay taxes, pay for their own healthcare and should have to fund their own retirement. They should be held responsible for what they do. They should also do what the people want them to do. The electoral college is out dated and should be done away with. Heck I think congress should fund their own staff. Maybe if they had to do these things they would remember how it is for the rest of us and make smarter choices.
I am sorry if I offended anyone. I should have made it clearer, i apologize.

The Great Granny Square of 09
=) I have crochet for today!! I can not even remember when I crocheted something. Basically on Ravlry I am part of stash busting group and one of the challenges is to knit or crochet something big that uses at least 10 balls of yarn. Well I have a ton, at least it seems like a ton, of Knitpicks Wool of the Andes. Now WOA is a nice yarn but I had a bunch of different colors in all sorts of amounts and honestly I have no idea why. I know some were left overs from other projects but others were from I have no idea,
Anyway I took out the tub of yarn and pulled out all of the now bubblegum pink and purple and was left with 23 balls of yarn to play with. That is 2530 yards or 1.44 miles!!
Right now I am about halfway through the yarn, I have used 11.5 balls. And here is the progress
ok a) it is on a queen size bed and b) boy does it clash with the quilt - ignore that part = )
This has turned into my I can not sleep because of whatever and need something mindless to work on. Which reminds me I still have to blog about my previous mindless project the Shalom Sweater. I knit 90% of that sweater laying flat on my back talk bout arm work out. I will save the rest for another post.
Now working on this while tired or medicated does have its drawbacks. While I was spreading it out I found 2 mistakes that well I somehow correted in the next round so the numbers are still right.
here is one boo boo. I missed a 3 dc but in the next rd I did crochet the proper amount with out even noticing the boo boo
here is a corner that is suppose to have 2 sets of dc and the is only one and again I did the right amount the next rd without even noticing.
Both boo boos are in the same color block and I would have to frog a lot to get back to it. Strange thing is I didn't see the mistake until the pictures so part of my brain was paying attention and kept me on track. I know that I crocheted that color on a bad night so I am not surprised I did make mistakes.
Oh well. I do not think I am going to frog it. It is too far back and they do not really bother me.

Well that didn't work
I have been having computer problems lately and sadly it may be the terminal kind. From what I have researched the problems I am having may be coming from the beginning of the end of the motherboard. Motherboards are very important. My little iBook is almost 5 years old and has been used heavily. I have an external hd and I am backing everything up all the time just in case. I thought I had everything working fine but long story short file were corrupted and I lost some important things. Some can be replaced some can not. Like my youngest graduation pictures from pre-k. Thankfully Hubby took pictures on his iPhone so we do have some but there were really great pictures lost.
Well we can not afford a new mac, I have hopes for next year, so I am trying to get more time out of my little iBook. Fingers crossed.
So basically my pictures are gone of my work including socks finished , yarn made, a finished sweater (just needs blocking) and WIPS. Of course after I take picture I put stuff away so now I have to dig everything back out and retake. I know it is not a big deal just a pain in the butt.
Plus my youngest gave me her summer cold and I have no voice. My kiddies are having way to much fun with that. I also have to get everything done and cleaned up cause come monday I go in for another procedure and I will be out of commission for a few days. So much to do so little time........
