Pictures make the blog a prettier place..

These are my peas. The pic is from the BB and I'm not sure why it's so big but I don't feel like doing it all over again.


These are a little hedgehog that I made. I got this pattern from a web site called Staindrop something.. I've never worked with faux fur before and it was OK. I did it outside because it would have been a real mess to do inside. I guess other than that I don't have much else. So ya'll have a good day!

Addiction to cans...

Yes, its true! Since I've decided to "collect" cans, I can hardly drive down the road, I think yesterday on my way to and from my sister's I must have seen like 20 of them along the hi-way and on/off ramps. I mean that's almost a whole pound of cans! Plus, I think people who litter suck! That trash gets on the side of the road somehow! I guess I will just have to stick to roads where is it safe to stop and pick shit up off the street.. And you know your an addict when you're thinking of "how/when can I get more _____" or you spend your day thinking of ways to get more. I mean I do have a boring ass job, and I don't have a ton of shit to do so I do have "extra" time to think about this stuff.. SO it's not totally out of the ordinary for me to think of shit in a semi-compulsive manner.. I mean I was just dying to get home yesterday to make a loaf of honey wheat bread (using my Mc'D's honey, which was a pain in the ass!). But to further demonstrate my "addiction" I even made a pretty "Can Count" log! I have each day and the dates and then the total.. So then I will know how many I have!!! Hahaha!! Evil cans! Stupid people who litter!

I died laughing when I saw this shirt... It's almost as great as the "You have died of dysentery" shirt(reference to the old computer game "Oregon Trail"). I just might buy it.. I have no clue what it means. But it's so ridiculous that it's funny! I found it on The Onion .

Well, my MN WILD won in OT last night! Way to go guys! (like they'd read my blog!) They have another game tonight. MN Twins lost (somehow!)

Today the temp is supposed to get up to 70! I should go outside and get a tan.. But anyways, it's almost lunch time, so I'm going to go see what's on the menu! And since I'm an addict (and since I can't type, I just typed as "ASSict") I have to talk about cans again..

Cans picked up on sunday from the street: 5

Cans from work on Monday: 6, plus 1 of my own, plus 1/2 on I found in my sister's yard!

Other days from work I've gotten 4 or 5 (a day) we have a lot of can handlers around here. Wish me luck!

Yes, it lets me put in a title!

Well, for whatever reason blogger isn't letting me put in a title, so here's me "what the hell". Tomorrow I will have some pictures, because Sugar has requested that I post some, and since she's really the only "active" person around here (that I'm not related to) I'm going to do what she asks! And her comments made me think about something, why do some people create? What is in them that isn't in others, or is it something that they have tapped into- that all people have in them, they just have never had a real chance to explore it? I've always been creative, I like to make things, all things- draw, paint, ceramics, glass blowing, print making, T-shirts, sewing, knitting, crocheting.. I guess it helps fill the time, maybe it is more a matter of I don't like to be bored, I just get restless when I don't' have something to do and I'm not tired. Like Sunday, it was so hot, I stayed inside practically all day and watched TV, did some laundry and worked on the blanket..Well it cooled off after it rained and I went to B/F's house and then came home and I was just bored, so bored that I could have thrown a hissy fit- SO I went to Wal-Mart because I didn't want to have a repeat of sore back, neck and shoulders due to working on the blanket to much. That's another thing, I get so sucked into this stuff that I just push myself WAY to far and cause real pain. I guess I just like to have something to look at and say "I made that" isn't it cool. Like I can brag about it a little bit and feel like even though I go to a job (way too much) that is pretty much a waste of my time (but it pays the bills) and I feel more stupid the more time I spend here, and I look at jobs online at least once a week, and where I am just a pee-on but yet have critical things to get done- that somehow its worth it to make things for others. In a way my day doesn't start until I leave here, some days I babysit, some days I go home and do nothing or work on a project.. I mean I guess I'd like more, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle anything else, there are so many unknowns that if I think about it to much it makes me nervous.. So, maybe tomorrow can be like pic-o-rama I do need to get out and take some of the pumpkins, they are getting big and I'm still really excited about it.. Hopefully I won't have to work this weekend (I mean I am one of the few in my dept that has worked the last 2) my dept is only 5 people for 3 shifts... You do the math on that one, ones pregnant and one is old and has like a billion hours of vacation and sick time to use up (which she does)! Me- I'm a temp not paid vacation, no sick time.. One raise in the past 7 years... But anyways, that will just make me mad :P Ya'll have a good day, and stay cool- and if you live in a state that is currently on fire, keep the hose out.

Oohh..pictures!

Gather round' to see my pics.. Well, besides the glue pictures, I took some other pictures for the Funky Photo.

The first one is my foot, I thought that it looked cool for some reason, ignore the fact that I need a new paint job :P. Then there is the cat, she isn't a very good subject because when she gets where I want her to be, she moves! And the light isn't the best but I liked that about them. The other one is of the peonies that I cut and I just think they look cool squished together and I liked the shadow of the pointy petals on the pink petals. I finally got to take my bike out for a little ride last night, even though it was warm out. Its been in the 90's here for the past 4 days..makes it hard to want to do anything outside. The bike is pretty nice, I'm not used to it so it feels kinda weird, kind of like a new car. Things work and feel differently. But I'm cool with that, as long as it doesn't make my ass hurt! My goal is to start riding to B/F's house, which is only about a mile from my house. There really is no reason for me to drive over there to hang out, especially if we are not going to go anywhere that requires the car. I really feel like it is a waste.

These pictures I took this morning. We have a major set (one of the only) of railroad tracks behind the building and a lot of times there are interesting things coming in (or going out I guess) on the tracks and I saw these giant spools and I thought that they looked pretty cool. Just sitting there. I don't know what is on them but they are huge.

Well, I'm going to get some work done. but tomorrow I will be posting some more pictures of my garden. It is grown so much since the last time. Ya'll have a good day- Ohh BTW my Twins won last night , against the Braves. So, GO TWINS!

I always feel like...

Somebody's watching me... Its tree man! I just thought it was funny, the line and the pic and all..

Well, ya'll have to turn your head to the left, because my pic isn't situated right. This is my sign, and its only a stop sign but notice that it isn't on a pole, out side, which is the natural environment of a stop sign. Its in my basement. But I didn't put it there, its been there for a long time.

This is the soon to be garden, now its just a box filled with dirt, soon to be amended with compost (whoo hoo) then I can plant , provided I can find replacement seeds for my target seeds. Tree man will be watching over it, making sure that it grows like crazy. I'd like to have enough so that I can sell some stuff (veggies) out on the street, make a little yarn money. He's on the tree in the back ground. So what else.. well, Kevyn Burger will be having surgery tomorrow (send her good energy) and I just found out something so cool. I sent off an e-mail to the lovely people at Fifth Element, a local record shop operated by a local record label, Kevyn loves Atmosphere, he's a local hip-hop artist (NOT a rapper, there IS a difference) and all I was asking of the was to post some comments on her blog to send her some happiness, just something fun. But the response that I got was SO cool. They wanted her address so they could send her out a care package. I just thought that it was so cool way more than I was asking them to do. But ever since the b/f got me into the label and the artists I've liked them and I like to support the local stuff and I think its cool when they support people who support them. That's kinda wordy but I'm sure you all understand what I'm saying. There is one guy who I think works all day everyday because when ever we go there he is working, but he gives B/F a discount, how cool is that.. And its not like we/ he go (es) there all the time or anything. But anyways, I'm going to eat lunch and check out the paper. SO that's all for me, unless I think of something that can't wait. Have a safe weekend.
