Rock Out With Your Sock Out

now spinning right round like a record

Wow, you are thinking- Allison is posting! Yes, it do be 5:30 in the morning and I am oot and aboot. You'd be amazed what that extra hour of sleep can do for you when you have to get up at 5 am. I even woke up 20 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. Fortunately (or unfortunately) my phone clock hadn't set its self back so it was going to go off at 4:10. I set the clock anew and went back to sleep- where I had a dream about drinking corn juice ( the juice of corn with little bits of corn in it- no such thing) with Commander Riker, and I was Cap'n Picard, and we were in a Space Big Rig.

The Livestock Expo- sounds like a super happy fun time. I would even be willing to take a day off on that Saturday- the 11th. The Sheep portion of the program start from Friday the 10th and go from there. I was going to go that Friday but if my homies are going- the Saturday would be cool.

Got my yarn for the poor blue sweater. I finished all of the inch that it needed for the back and blocked it. Now, just sewing the seams and picking up stitches for the shawl collar. I hop I haven't created to big a mess with all the extra stitches I added for my not 16 inch arms.

And I started a Lace Scarf with a little bit o beading on the bottoms that I am adapting from a shawl pattern because I don't have enough yarn.

Well crap Yall, I just remembered that Sheep and wool Festival in Corydon is this Saturday. And I don't think I can get off. I really wanted to go, too. The breast cancer walk is on Sunday and I am already going to try to get them to let me work the midnight to 8:30 shift, I don't think I can just call in or take a personal day the day before.

Now I'll really have to start saving my pennies to go to Maryland. I can see it now- a week in DC, up to Baltimore for the Festival. Musent tell the other half of the family or they might expect to see me.

I done gone and ran out of yarn. Only 20 rows to go on the back with the shawl collar still left. I'm not sure if I need to get 2 or 3 balls.
It is bleepin cold in my house. I refuse to turn on the heat. Put on a frickin sweater. I actually got hot the other night. My face was blazing but my feet were icy. I always think of Little Women when that happens. Marmie comes home to nurse Beth with the scarlet fever, and she is burning up but her feet are cold. So I make sure to rub my feet together.

I'm saddened today because I found out that they haven't, and probably won't release the other volumes of Gargoyles. Season 2 is 53 episodes long and Vol 1 is only half that. All my favorite episodes are on the second half. I know the show comes on Toon Disney but we don't get that channel.

Alright... so a post... Work, go home, work, go home. Exciting stuff. I applied for a job this evening at Humana that I don't really want. Mom's boss' son just got hired for it. The job Steph told me about sounded like more of my cup of tea. Plus I've already been rejected by Humana once so why would they hire me now?

I heart clogs!
