granny shrontz checking in

(by the way... i knitted this all by my self and my how-to book!)

hello all. i just wanted to let you know that i started knitting thanks my grandma. she sent me all the fixings to make a really cute knit purse and i looked at jason and said...well i guess i need to learn to knit now. so last wednesday i went to michaels and bought some needles, yarn, and a basic how-to book. i can't say it's pretty, or good, but i do enjoy knitting. and jason needs a new scarf, so we'll see what happens.

GO TIGERS!!!!!

apartment tour

Amber told me a while ago that she wanted me to take pictures of our apartment so she could see what it looked like. The below picture is a lay out of the apartment. Nothing fancy. Enjoy the tour.

when you walk in the door, to the left is the livng room, yes that is my desk in the corner...it's a little messy. oh and don't you love the white walls?

to the right of the door is our kitchen table that we never eat at, but it finally looks pretty all painted black. the wicker basket on the wire rack is going to be for our mittens!!! i think we will need the sooner than we think.

the kitchen and our avacado appliences and plastic cupboards. that is my flowered apron hanging on the wall. i love to wear it. jason thinks i cook just to wear the apron....he'll never know!

when you open the door straight ahead is the hallway. i know very impressive.

this is our bathroom, and the avacado theme is carried over. it's wierd having a green toilet.

this is the spare bedroom, aka jason's office.

our bedroom, there is a TON of walking room around the bed (hopefully you can sense the sarcasm.)

well that is the end of the tour. hopefully you will all feel like you've been here now.

left or right

jason noticed a strange pattern today. whenever we have 2 of something i put things on the left and jason puts things on the right, most of the time. our tooth brushes, sides of the bed, shampoo, washcloths, and towels. how wierd is it, the strage unconcieous things you do when you live with someone for a while. jason wanted to let me know that if i'm ever wondering who's right....well of course he is. what a dork. i am really glad he is home, i missed him like crazy this weekend. i hope you all had good weekends. back to the grind.

time

well all, it seems that as much as i want to go home this weekend, it just isn't going to happen. i have to work at my new job this weekend. and in order to keep the job, i need to go to work and not call in or even think about asking for time off. i'm ok with this though. we need the money so we need the job. plus with jason gone i can watch girly movies, eat chinese food (don't tell) and deep clean the apartment. i don't know why i think jason needs to be gone to really clean. am i the only woman that feels this way? Oh and i need to go through my winter clothes....yes i said winter clothes. all of my sweaters are still packed in tubs and i'm going to need them very soon!

i will miss seeing my in-laws, they are coming home from italy today, grandpa cassady's 70th birthday party, and of course the cassady ritual of watching the mi/mi state game. GO BLUE! yeah i'm a football fan. i've converted.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Cassady!

Welcome Home Debby and Denny!

have fun with jason. take good care of him. i'll write you more this weekend and let you know how my plans are coming! Love you
