Knitting group take 1. Epic Fail.

Welp. Tonight was supposed to be the first meeting of the knitting group I'm... starting. (I was going to put 'creating', but that just didn't sound right... hence the "..." for a 'pause'... :P) BUT- a few people cancelled... one is about to pop out a little cutie pa-tootie (code for baby), one is still in Florida, and a couple other misc. conflicts. I'm not mad or anything, but a tad sad**. (L.O.L- that rhymed! Wicked bad too... lol (again)). I was SO excited to get together with a few girlys that are actually good friends. Ones I talk to on a regular basis, and who have always and will always be there for me. And visa versa. I even asked Chris if he'd hang out in the bedroom with the puppies so the girls and I could confabulate and knit in the living room (it'd be a little silly- 6-8 girls in our bedroom trying to find a corner of the bed to sit on just comfortable enough to knit... and that's not even thinking of the ones who are trying to meander their way through the laundry (though it's all clean...) on the floor to pop a squat...), and he said that he'd even take a couple movies in the bedroom- just in case we got caught in conversation and went over the alloted time I had told him we'd be.

Anywho- I was excited to work on knitting-ness. I shall, however, knit tonight in the wonderful company of my fiance and our 2 boogers of puppies. :D

On another note- we are pretty big fans of GSN (Game Show Network- for those who don't watch TV like us ;o) )... and in the afternoons they have GSN live- which basically consists of the hosts taking callers during the commercial breaks of the game shows and hosting games for them to play to win cash, prizes, trips, or this new thing- Oodles. Now. We had heard all about these afore mentioned "oodles", but weren't quite sure what they were or how they worked. So what did I do? Got online- naturally, of course. Well Oodles are kind of like fake money. They even have their own "dollar sign", (or Oodle sign, if you will) and you can use them to enter into sweepstakes or buy things from the Oodle store. We are trying to save up to get a Big Screen TV. Yes. One of the things in the Oodle store is a 52" Sony LCD Flat screen TV. I think this would look absolutely AMAZING hanging in our living room! :D

So they have trivia you can answer to earn Oodles and games you can play to earn Oodles and Oodles of Oodles stuff etc. Needless to say, we've only been playing for about the past 3 days and we already have about 1200 Oodles. The TV is 425,000 Oodles. So while we aren't all that close right now- we are well on our way!! :D


**This little rhyme reminds me of something funny I said the other day. (Well- I think it was FUNNNNY so I decided to share, since this is MY blog and all and I can write about whatever I want :P) We were at work and we had just finished closing and Chris and I were standing waiting for the other server and bartender. I was looking at him, and on the back/side of his ear was a little blonde hair. It was just above the lobe, and it was sticking out (kinda far, lol) and it looked kind of like a little wing!! I said, "Babe! You've got a little hair sticking out the backish/side of your ear! It looks like a little Wing!! You've got an EAR WING!! Get it!? Ear Wing.... Earring... Earwing... Earring!!! HAAAhhahahaa!" And I immediately started laughing! I don't think he thought it was all that funny- but I was cracking up!

Phew. Just thinking of it makes me giggle... :D Good stuff.

Ummmmmm I think that's it for today!

Off to knit...

:o)
