it's my blogiversary!

so, the 17th of this month will be my blog anniversary! go me! er, go blogger? whatever. anyway.

can i bitch about how ridiculous it is that it's the third-of-freaking-november and i have on short pants and a short sleeved shirt? i can? good. because it's ridiculous. i had like, four days of weather that required a scarf and jacket. last year on the 21st of november it was snowing. snowing! do you think it's going to be snowing this 21st of november? no. i doubt it. stupid kansas. or missouri. or whatever. [sidenote: it's really difficult to get used to bitching about missouri weather when it's the same as kansas weather and one has grown up in kansas. i'm trying to teach myself to say "midwest weather"] .

i. am. living. for thanksgiving break. hopefully my father will be home from italy by then. either way, we had to move our "christmas tattoos" tradition to "thanksgiving tattoos," as i won't be home at christmastime. if all three of us are together, then we'll be getting the thompson family motto [in english: while i breathe, i have hope"]. however, if my dad can't get back *grumbleboeinggrumble* then i'll have to come up with an alternative plan.

i've progressed to the point of buying yarn to save for later. seriously? seriously. yesterday my hoommrate and i were at joann's [my second time in as many days] and i was perusing their yarn selection - much better than their button selection, if you want my opinion - and i happened upon the colonial colors holiday cotton yarn! i spent $30. on yarn. with which i have nothing planned. $30 i really couldn't afford.

apparently i am feeling like posting a blog today in the likeness of stream of consciousness writing. none of this fits together, it's just crap. life crap.

i'm making myself a cowl like the one i made [secretly] for megan, but i need buttons for it. joann's let me down. and michael's selection sucked...probably due to their not selling material there. *sigh* i'll have to seek out a hobby lobby, i suppose.



gavin wants to live in a shipping container home. it's silly, but i kinda dig the idea, too. cheap, eco friendly and just as sturdy as a regular house...although somewhat like a trailer. [joking, gavin. trailers, like trash cans, are not something i want to live in]. i could grow stuff! and make stuff! and ... damn. i try to pretend like i don't want to be a crazy farmer's housewife. but then i think about it and realize that i just might.
