Wanna wrap?

me either...

But I'm living in the land of snow, 

so soon or later I'm going to have to wrap up...oh crap, I just puked thinking about it.  Someone please tell me why I didn't move to Hawaii when I was 19?

Anyway the other day the Mister said "it smells like fall" which made me instantly hate him.  Yeah, I know: every one's all like "Oh, I love fall! The apples, the falling leaves, the cool weather, the UGG boots, the sweaters....".  I'll admit I do like the fall fashions, BUT I would throw it away in a heartbeat,  right after I shoved my UGG's up the bum of a winter lover!!

OK, deep breath, deep breath...

What was I talking about?

Oh yeah...

Remember last winter when I took my 1st crochet class and after about 19 hours and a spankin' by the teacher I had this:

Oh, I was sooooo proud and we can all see why!

Then there was this:

please forgive it's wonky-ness!

That's right.... I've come a LONG way baby!

I just finished my 2nd scarf!

This 1st one is by the crocheting/knitting goddess Debbie Stoller

I used her wool yards from Joann's.  IF you want color names, let me know.  The pattern is free and usually right by her yarn in the store.

The 2nd one I made is a nice thick chunky neck wrap.

You remember Roberta, yes?!

This pattern is from a GREAT seller on etsy!

I'll be Yarned

If you're a photographer, she has all kinds of patterns for props!

Hats, cocoons, diaper covers....

Check her out!!

Oh yeah, remember the bag I was headed to Tuesday Mornings for?  The big quilted weekender bag?

They didn't get that size!!  Of course!   I guess it's ok, because let me say Marie Osmond has some ugly butt fabric for her bags!  (you know, they're kind of like those Vera Bradley quilted bags, but ugly!).  The other ladies were grabbing up the purses like crazy, guess someones getting an ugly purse for Christmas!

Have a great day!!

***after MUCH concern, I want to assure you, the WINTER PICTURE at the top is from LAST YEAR*** Don't worry, you'll hear me complaining again once the snow starts for this year!!***

Michigan Adventure and a scarf, cause it's Michigan!

Yesterday we were at Michigan's largest amusement park, and honestly, I think it's Michigan's only amusement park, so it's kinda a shoe-in for largest.  Anyway... I, of course, was thinking of you yesterday and took a few pictures.  Now, of course, without my secret spy glasses (please send me a pair for Christmas!)

I could not get a lot of the pictures I know you would have loved to see... for example:

the man with the 1 giant dreadlock (it looked JUST like a coughed up hair ball!!)  coming off his chin!  It was HUGE and the Mister was all like "how does he eat with that thing?"  Well, we found out later when we saw it tucked into his shirt!  Although I wasn't able to take a picture of this dude, I did the research and this is a visual for you, pretend one of these dreads is hanging off a mans chin and you're got the mental picture:

The sexiness was EVERYWHERE yesterday. 

 There was the woman in the wave pool who had 1 side of her bikini top TOTALLY off of what it was suppose to cover.... HELLO!  The people that I'm positive were Edwards cousins (come on people, EDWARD from those vampire books: Twilight).  These WHITE people had NEVER seen the sun till yesterday, I took 10-15 pictures of them, but they were so clear they wouldn't even show up- weird, hun?

The men with pierced nipples, the crocs, the too small bikini's... it was a people-watchers paradise.

Since I do NOT have my secret spy glasses, you'll have to settle for these:

See how utterly GORGEOUS it was yesterday?  !

Lots of parents scream at their kids at amusement parks, that place was full of family love!

I handed the camera over to the Mister so he could take a ton of action shots of darling and I riding this super huge and scary baby coaster:

(we were in car #2...)

and that concludes our series of darling and I on the coaster.

Thanks honey!

Ok, I did get 1 weird picture.  See the girl in the yellow shirt with a kid handing down from her back?

I have NO idea what she was doing but she was dragging this thing around with that life guard dude, and that trash-sweeper dude.  We watched for a long time but never saw anyone giving it mouth-to-mouth or anything, so I think it was just a group of weird-o's.   See the nice man (below) on the right with his kid? He grabbed the kid by the shoulder and was like "don't you see that woman taking a picture of those weirdo's? stay out of her picture before I beat you!!" Parental love, it was ALL around!  Thanks nice man for only getting part of the way in my shot!!

All in all it was a great day even though on the way home I realized the ONLY ride I went on was the mini-baby coaster... Oh well!

Oh and Darling ate this yesterday:

1/2 cheese burger

1/2 order of fries

1/2 root beer float

(she and I split lunch)

1 blue gator-aid

1 bag mini cinnamon and sugar donuts

1 order deep fried crab cheese

1 deep fried egg roll.

Today she's eating only salad and fruit!!

and because I promised, my scarf:

How much do I love Debbie Stoller and her Stitch Nation?

Only 9 more rows on this baby!!

Have a great day!!
