My favorite part is I bought two new pairs of crocks for $30. Best deal of the day.

Had a blast. Got to see my Folks. We went to see Mystère by Cirque du Soleil. It was FANTASTIC! Loved it. I would go again and again. It was AMAZING! Mystère™ is classic Cirque du Soleil®, combining the powerful athleticism, high-energy acrobatics and inspiring imagery that has become the company’s hallmark. Deemed a theatrical "flower in the desert," Mystère thrills generations of audiences with its exhilarating blend of whimsy, drama and the unimaginable brought to life on stage. Presented exclusively at Treasure Island, Mystère provides the ultimate discovery that life itself is a mystery.<br /><br />We walked for ever! Checked out several casinos and what not. I took over 1000 pics. We even went to Hoover Dam. WOW.

My favorite thing!<br /><br />11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary . ..</strong>Day 983 of my captivity.<br /><br />My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.<br /><br />They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.<br /><br />The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.<br /><br />Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.<br />Bastards.<br /><br />There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I mustlearn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.<br /><br />Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my<br />tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try<br />this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.<br /><br />I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and<br />snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is<br />obviously retarded<br /><br />The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in a elevated cell, so he is safe.

Yeah THURSDAY! I love Thursday nights. My favorite LYS had the Sit'n'Stich. <br /><br />The shop is in Fort Worth, TX. The owners are fantastic!! LOVE this store. The are a great group of ladies that meet every week. Great chocolate, wine, and most of all laughter! We laugh so much it is great. We talk about a lot of different things. Everything form sex to current events. <br /><br /><br />This week:<br /><br /><a href="http://knitnlit.blogspot.com/">Jenn</a> told us that she is 12 weeks pregnant!!! YEAH BABIES! The group is so ecstatic! Of course this is the girl who can laugh so hard that she gets really red and crys. That to me is the best part.<br /><br />The group love pirate jokes! Any jokes really. This week was no diffrent. Three difrent people told the same joke but a little diffrent.<br /><br />We also found out that a local florist that we the group love. Her shop burned down to the ground. Bummer. The great thing is that everyone is okay. And insurance is going to pay for everything.<br /><br />We talked about theWoman Physically Stuck To Toilet Seat After Two Years!!!! Wow! and gross at the same time. <br /><br /><br /><br />No other big news.....<br /><br />Thats all folks!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09303275847164031350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318844217649006806.post-27749368164551136732008-02-27T22:12:00.000-08:002008-02-27T22:25:35.870-08:00Winter Doldrums SwapOh My!

Share a story of a hand-made gift you gave to someone and how it worked out - good, bad, or ugly!<br /><br /><br />I did up some handmade soaps and facecloths for my nephews 3 teachers for Christmas. They got 2 facecloths, several soaps, sea salts and one ornament. Did the whole gift basket with tool and ribbons for each teacher. After doing these I got an email from his principal wanting more. Saying the the gifts where great and she want one. So of course i made some several more for her and family. She LOVED the all. I got paid well for them. All in all it turned out great. I got several thank you cards and emails. It made me feel <strong>fantastic</strong> that so many people love hand made things. <br /><br /><br />My mom loves things I make for her. I made her a Sweater this year for Christmas. She loved it. It was my first sweater ever to knit. She brags about it to everyone. <br /><br /><br />I have seen someone mock a hand made item once and only once. I made my aunt a shawl one year. it had a few mistakes in it. you couldn't tell really. I hid it well. It was really beautiful, My aunt LOVED it!! She had it on one Sunday at church. I was there visiting. One of the older ladies asked about it. then con tune to carry a conversation about it behind us with another member of the church. they where saying how cheep of us to have handmade garments. What we are poor. I was so mad!!! I turned around and told those ladies that i am imbaresd. you have the nerve to say that in church. I made that with love for my aunt. So if you two ladies dont mind removing those hand knit sweaters and leave us alone. I left at that. This church my family have been going for decades! I am a guest when i go. I live in TX and there in NC. How rude.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09303275847164031350noreply@blogger.com11
