making cakes

pat's birthday was on the 10th, and me and liz had a fun time making cake. it consisted of me making the cake, which was chocolate with peanut butter and chocolate frosting...


and eating a lot of blue frosting.




jake didn't get nothing!

to dye for

so, jake took a long nap, and i was able to try my hand at some kool aid dyeing.


i had already long skeined up some lion brand wool, and all i had to do was mix up the kool aid.


steam the wool to set the dye.


and presto! colorful wool!


now all i have to do is figure out how to wind a center pull cake using a nostepinne... but since i don't want to buy one, i am using a cardboard tube. i call it my nasty.

update on the uberlist part 2

number 26 reads something like get a dog after move #2, but as i stated before we will only be moving once, so i have changed it to

26. new car.. buy or lease... find out!!

and also... i don't know what happened, but somehow i ought a sweaters worth of yarn! so since i have done this i am going to try and make myself use even MORE yarn.

number 18 is now

stash = 23,117 yards or 13.1 miles of yarn. burn through 11, 440 yards, or 6.5 miles.

that is all.

one more thing

this is liz's dog. he was underdog... but now he is thunderdog. he is known to ZOOOOOM! around the house and wear holiday sweaters...

new years!!!

new years ain't what it used to be, but there is still plenty to do!

we can make jiffy pop on the stove...


love each other...


wear silly hats...


play with glow sticks...


and watch the KRON with jan wahl.


Happy new year everyone!

update on the uberlist.

already it is the 7th of january, and already i must update to uberlist.

it seems that we will only be moving once this year, in april, to connecticut, so all those things about moving twice and getting a dog, etc., those will be changed to something better... when i think about it.

but here are a few things that i have already tackled.

2. update bills. (06.01.2008)
38. finish list and post. (31.12.2007)
39. clean cobwebs from ceiling (06.01.2008) my broom was gross at the end.
97. get my dad a calendar with important dates. (05.01.2008) all i have to do is give it to him

at the rate i am going i got this thing in the bag! plus that i have taken a vitamin everyday, but the first (i couldn't find them) and have been tracking and upping my water/fluid intake levels. i am supposed to be getting 100 oz. a day. right now i am in the sixties... bet i am doing better!
