New updated me.

I thought I should post a more accurate photo of myself for the blog. Other than the last profile pic, three was only one, and it was bad.

New Projects

I have been working on the Angelina sweater for a while now, but I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I also cast on for the Simply Marylin by Debbie Bliss. The colors in the pictures are pretty true, and if you notice, you will please excuse my bed cover in the picture. I washed my sheets and everything a couple days ago, but the dog jumped on the bed, got under the covers and dirtied it up again. I have been so busy at work. My boss, thinks she knows what is going on, but I am really starting to wonder, we have had payroll problems, ownership problems, and controlissues because she pretty much allows her daughter to walk all over her staff. She is going to lose all of her staff if she is not careful. I resigned as the director, I was tired of taking all of the blame. I was not adequately staffed or funded, and I did the best I could, but she did not appreciate it, so I stepped down, however, I still have a job. She wanted me to stay and pretty much since I told her what I thought of her skills as my boss she has stayed away from work. Everyday she says she will come to work and she only ends up being there for a half an hour or so. She said she would help me releive people so they could take their lunch breaks and then she left. She didn't do anything. She was there a total of about 10 min. She told me last week she would get me my paycheck, and she sure did, after I went on strike for two days. Which made my paycheck a total of four days late. I was freaking out. The girls came over to my house after work and cheered me up. We also went out the other day and I saw someone from my past. 13 years past that is. He looks very different now, and I know I do as well. He seems to like kids, and that is nice since I have two, but they have a father and I am not looking for anyone to move in with me, or to move in with, marry, or anything like that. There is someone that I would like to date, but I doubt that I will ever get the chance. He was a fellow art student and of course he had red hair which I secretly have a huge weakness for. I am also trying to apply for a teaching job that I am not certified in. Wish Me Luck!

blue period

I have proof that I have been busy on something blue. It is a baby blanket for my son. I made one for my daughter, and this is late, but almost done. My son is now 10 months old, but when I had my daughter, I was not working and I had no other child running around to keep me busy. Anyhow, it is now technically the month of violet and purple. I am torn between the Simply Marylin sweater by Debbie Bliss and the Salt Peanuts sweater by ? I think it might be Veronique Avery.
Oh, man, on a personal note, I have been having one hell of a time at work, I even missed two days becuse they would not give me my check, she didn't have enough money to pay me. I had bills to pay, and when the bank would not cash my four day late payroll check, the car I was driving broke down, my son was sick, and I thought the world was conspiring against me. Until, that is, the girls from work called me and came over to my house, and we drank wine and had a gripe session about work. We like our jobs, the details are the only thing that bothers us. And so I have less progress than I thought because that was Friday evening and the girls were here until 3:40 AM. I should be finished tomorrow or later today, I would like to add a border as well to complete the look, so we will see how it goes.
