i have returned

ah internet... as i have yet to master the concepts of space, time and what day of the month it is...
i have returned in all my glory and splendour 7 days earlier than previously stated. sorry for the miscommunication from my brain coil. he has been punished.

carry on then...

afghanistanisia was well received... those receiving it assuming it took much *much* longer than the month it actually took to complete. since i am shy, all i could do was smile but inside i kept repeating...."praise me... praise me! for i am the great me! master of all wooly (okay okay... 80% acrlyic... 20% rayon or whatever... jeesh) projects! praise me and my master-y-ness!"

megalomaniac much? (*she's a maniac... maniac that's for sure*... you know the tune)

handmade gifts for ALL next year. i have spoken.

anyway. so. i had a fabulous giving-receiving christmas. and of all the great, fabulous, awesome, powerful fantasmagorical, scrumdelicious presents i got... three are of worth mentioning value.

a) picture my extreme delight when i received #1 of the most awesome... you get the picutre... gifts... not #1 because it's the top... i just got it first.

you must now bow before it's goodness. go on... i'll wait... are you done bowing yet? okay... let us proceed.

i am so completely and otherworldly psyched to start each and every single project in this book. but alas... as i live on an island in the middle of a vast ocean... for some reason they do not sell wool to us wool lovers and i am forced to make inferior products with inferior materials. so i have to wait *weep* for someome to go to boston and buy me fabulous wool... also... said someone is the same someone who bought me the fabulous book of fabulousness. albeit she has alterior motives... none the less. i *love* you stitch'n'bitch...

2) the second gift which i received which is just great... was a duel purpose present. please see here for further detail and images.

br was so thoughtful and so tired of our 10 inch pagnasonview (hehe... simpsons throw back) that he got that for us, along with 2 dvd towers that hold 60 dvd's each. although we have much more than 120 dvd's. we will soon be having a 3rd hand dvd sale... as much of our movies were bought after having been rented out to sticky handed viewers. they feel so cheap and dirty but we loved them just the same... *key word is love"d"*

c) last but certainly not least... the much unexpected...

... that my parents *rephrase that... my mother* got me... he is currently nestled quietly beside my pc charging his batteries. he was very tired after having waited to be mine for so long. i dressed him in blue. he is happy. i think anyway... the manual said to charge him for an hour... i swear he's been plugged in for longer but the screen is still saying do not disconnect and flashing that wonderful sign at me and i fear for his life.

i shall name him el mariachi after the antonio banderas el mariachi, not the original el mariachi.

anyway. it's getting late and for all my toil and trouble i have stuff to do. it's just me for the next three days and as exciting as that sounds... it's not really that exciting at all. i need more work friends but i don't like the people i work with. catch 22.

*update*: i have since found out that there is another yarn store located on my island somewhere that is in a very inconvenient place but i will be visiting it as soon as i get five minutes to take the half hour drive and find it. yay local wool!!

i have also saved *el mariachi* from certain death. apparently i didn't download the programme properly so i had to do it again. he is currently happily playing music for me with his musicy goodness.
