FINALS!!!

Okey dokey. Two finals, no days off, both due on the same day. Crap. Crap on toast. Alright I can do this, just buckle down the hatches and become a hermit, and don't sleep, ever. That ought to do it right? Actually its not that big a deal. Hopefully I'll be able to do one tomorrow and another either Monday or Tuesday. I feel pretty confident about one of them and the other I only need like a 58% to get an A, so...

So for the first time in like 4 years I did not watch the NFL draft. I feel so dejected. I mean its the most exciting NFL event in April...(its the only NFL event in April). I didn't get to see people all sad and scared like Brady Quinn last year, or when they are so happy and desperately trying to call their moms. My Bucs decided to draft a CB with a problem avoiding the Mari-ju-ana and a Kick Returner for App. State. The bf thinks the KR is just an attempt to "capture the magic" of their magnificent defeat of Michigan. Also, in sporting news, the Rays had a really excellent win over the Red Sox last night. My man, Carl Crawford, just did what he does best and stole 2nd.

Knitting has slowed. Too much school and work to do anything but sleep in my free time. So right now I'm watching the Celtics vs. Hawks game and trying to convince myself that watching the end of the game is not necessary, but sleep is. Oh well, pictures soon on Dad's socks.

New Blog

I had to start a new blog. For some reason the old one was problematic. It kept having issues whenever I logged into it. So the old is gone and the new is here. I had to request some time off from work, mainly because working for almost 2 weeks straight does not leave a lot of time for school, but also to spend my anniversary with my boyfriend.

Uh. Well, someone forgot to tell him that. So those plans went out the window. (We have new plans in June, or so I'm told.) I am enjoying my time off though. I had plenty of time to write my papers for class, and even turn them in early. I'm just happy to have them done. My grades are pretty much set, so unless I really just threw up garbage on those papers, I should be fine. Since the bf was awol, I got to go down to St. Pete and visit with my Dad. It was definitely a super nice visit. I drove down on Sat. and we went to MainSail which is this huge arts&crafts show on the water. The weather was really nice and it was fun to walk around and enjoy the show. Afterward we had some beers at a bar and watched some sports, before heading down to the Trop. to see the Rays plays the White Sox. (See photos below). What a great game and even better pitching.

Knitting is pretty slow right now. Mainly I'm just working on my Dad's socks, which are pretty close to being done. Might even finish them during the NBA playoff games tonight. (Go Celtics!...shutup. I don't care if I'm a bandwagon fan.) I'm still occasionally working on my Hemlock Ring Blanket, but I never intended to rush that sucker. Plan to start on the Talia vest tomorrow or so. I have the yarn ready to go, but I've been putting off starting it, mainly because I like to finish something before I start something else.

Anyway...the bf and I have been together for 2 whole years now. And I came home to this


...now I just need something to fill it with!
