Warpony's progress....

These pics are how Warpy has progressed over the past few days. And a pic of Warpy modelling a Qsnap frame thrown in as a bonus!

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA

The goodies arrived! Sis picked them up yesterday and we went to fetch them after we got home from work.

YEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!!!

So FUNKY!!!!!!!!!

Got the 3 charts, 4 fabrics (the fabric for Heremia is SO BEAUTIFUL!), and the thread needed for the 3 charts. Also in the package was the Qsnap frame+extension kit.

I am so excited and can't wait to get started. I have to finish Warpy first though, else I'll NEVER get it done. EEEEEeeeeeekkkk!!! Heremia! That one is going to be so fun, cos of the funky material! Then I'm going to do Gentle Strength, and then last of all Golden Ice, cos it's HUGE (about double the size of GS, Heremia and Warpy. One MASSIVE design.

The only strange thing about Golden Ice is that they haven't put any black stitches. There is no black shadow of the horse, it is simply the fabric left blank. Same with Gentle Strength - they have left white bits blank, so that the aida shows through, and also made some of the stitches halfstitches so it'd be paler. Which is odd. Lucky I chose white aida for it, but I reckon I'm going to fill in all the blank with white and do full stitching throughout instead. And with Golden Ice, I'm going to have to figure out what to fill in with black stitches.

EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK I CAN'T WAIT to start on Heremia!

I'm so tempted to just start.... but WARPY!!! Eek, Warpy's nearly done ;)

Will work on Warpy later and post a pic asap.

and that wasn't the end of it all

After we got home, we just SAT for a while, de-stressing just sitting on the couch after work.

We went to the shop a bit later, and when we got back, I bashed my hand on a cupboard while taking my jacket off. It hurt a lot and I was still grumpy anyway so it hurt more. And then we watched an Asterix movie after supper and I broke a fingernail opening a can of cooldrink. And even though I don't have fancyshmancy nails to be 'OOH I BROKE A NAIL DARLING', I was pissed off regardless.

Today is possibly better. The receptionist was late and didn't tell anyone so I had to babysit the phone for about 20mins.

Sis (hopefully) is going to the post office this morning to collect my parcel - the cross stitches!!!!!! I'm so excited I wish I could go collect it myself cos I would have gone the moment the post office opened this morning, but alas, I am miles away.

I am desperately in need of this long weekend. Friday is a holiday, then it's Weekend, then it's Monday (I've taken leave) and then Tuesday is a public holiday again. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! I think I'm going to sleep and relax and stitch/fiddle with the new stitches!

YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Ooh, now I'm DYING for a nono's Gorgonzola pasta. OMG MMMM.

And I'd love to be in bed now too. With Squishy. And my parcel!

Shit week/end

I have a shitty headache.

I'm starving. No lunch today. Grr

Why are things shitty? Why do neighbours HAVE to be fucktards? WHY???

What the fuck is wrong with these people?? Different people this time, but boy do they enjoy getting totally drunk. A whole herd of them thundered up the stairs (which runs up across our bedroom wall), slamming the stairway securitygate (attached to our bedroom wall), and moved furniture, screamed, thundered across the floor of the flat above, shrieked, laughed fucking loud, bashed each other, broke something glass, spilt STUFF off their balcony onto our balcony's wall (god know wtf that stuff was/is - it looks revolting). Dropped a little plastic shotglass off their balcony into ours, played fucking loud music... all of this in the region of 1am. A sunday night/monday morning. The police had to come out. Somehow, the fact that the girl has phoned to complain about other people before makes it alright for them to make a shitload of noise. Very apologetic but so bloody drunk. So mature too, slamming the security gate EXTRA loud (specially for our benefit).

I hate this week. I hate the weekend that passed (most of it)... I loved meeting up with an ex-colleague of G's, and hanging out with my sis, and having caramel hot-shots and enjoying my gorgeous fish, but other than that, it pretty much sucked (In the heat of being GRUMPY I might have forgotten something... sorry if I did).

I hate the house now... or ... hate what it is now. Or that it's not what it was. It's all shit and falling apart and disintegrating, and not simply just structurally.

It makes me feel depressed for days after we visit. And getting a phonecall too, drags me down. Everything there feels awful. I'm moving my stuff out of "my room". It still kinda is my room, in a way, but I'm taking everything out of there. My pictures/things stuck on the walls, I'm boxing up all my trinkets and goodies. I wish I could take my duvet-cover/curtains/pillowcases, but what good would a single bed set be? The room will be empty for a short while, before it starts to grow cluttered with shit. Real junk. Stuff mom collects. Mind-bogglingly SHIT stuff. Our aunt is moving so she offered my mom the sleepercouch. I don't know why they thought it was acceptable as a sleepercouch because it's so messed up it is disgusting. But what baffles me more is that mom TOOK IT! It is now in "my" room. I feel gross thinking about it in there. It is gross. And that is just the beginning.

All the junk from the rest of the house is going to fill the room, and more and more stuff will just be brought home.

Google the ebay mom house, and that's what it will end up looking like.

I honestly feel sick in my brain now.

Frustration

Things feel incomplete.

Unfinished.

I have moved out of home, but I still have a lot of stuff left in my room. But despite the fact that I haven't taken everything out, stuff is being tossed in my room like it's a junk store. Can I at least finish taking my stuff out?

My bed is covered in junk. Not my junk. I will have to take boxes and box up all my stuff. Everything.

I hate cockroaches. They are nearly making me hate the flat. It's nice otherwise. I wish it was a small house with a little garden. With no neighbours playing shit music and making noise and with no cockroaches, and then we could sort our own place out. Make everything nice and stuff. But it's temporary. We might have moved out by the time I'm finished with my next cross-stitch.

I wish things were normal. They aren't normal at all. At home it's all shitty. All problems and broken things and clutter and chaos and stuff like that. I can't deal with all that and I wish mom would just... I dunno, come right. Be normal. Move into a nice, problem-free littler place, and get rid of all the junk. All the clutter and junk. But that would never happen. Sis would like to move out I'm sure, and have a normal place. If only mom would too. I can't handle going there and then mom talks on and on about the problems and I feel upset for days. It's hard to describe in a way that anyone would understand. I don't want to talk on the phone. I do want to, but not like that. I don't want that. It hurts.

GOOD MORNING

hello boss. good morning boss. thanks for ignoring me boss. makes me feel a lot of fondness for you. maybe i didn't greet you 17 months ago on a really shitty busy day and i was on the phone, but you don't have to ignore me as if i'm not there. i look up when you walk past, to make eye contact and say hi, but you just don't look. don't greet. even if you walk into my "boss"'s office or look to see if he's there, you don't actually GREET. "is he out?" but nothing else. On my BIRTHDAY you came up to me, shoved a handful of pencils under my nose and said 'give this to your boss'. he was sitting next to me. you could have said morning. didn't even need to say happy birthday. i hope the cake made you feel ill.

Warpony!!

Warpy has grown a bit....he's looking a bit cheekier now :D

And with regard to the other 3 designs... they're on their way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Should be here this week YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

What ELSE is news...

Work is the same.

I want to travel. Correction: I want to be on holiday. Here or there or anywhere. Not here. Somewhere new or something new.

OMG! Dr Pepper is AWESOME!!!!!!! Cherry coke isn't as nice. Dr Pepper is like stronger, more flavourful cherry coke. I found it at a shop nearby... it's pretty expensive but WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

A LOT has happened since the 2nd last post

Loads and loads....

If I can remember it all!

R&N got married on Saturday... it was a GORGEOUS day, N looked stunning. The church was cute, the restaurant had a lovely view. The weather was perfect. (I even got a worm in my food!!! - hehe)

What else... well time has flown... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I've been chatting to a Joanne at 123stitch, and my order is on its way! It is being shipped right now! Warpy will soon have COMPANY!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

We bought a washingmachine/tumbledryer combo. We had been planning to go to a shop on Sunday to buy one, but G's dad had a cycling accident and wasn't able to help us and even if we'd borrowed his car, we still would never have been able to get the washingmachine in from the car. Anyway, so Sunday after visiting his dad we decided to go to a huge shopping mall further away, just to go for a drive and also to get some lunch. We decided to just look in the shop we bought our fridge+bed from, to see if maybe they have it there. They did! For R200 less than anywhere else! So we bought it.

Now, this shop was where we bought our fridge and bed from which they delivered them at 22:05. We were told it was going to be delivered the next day, so we waited up Monday evening/night til 22:40, with nothing delivered. G phoned the next day to be told that the lady was supposed to have told him it was going to be delivered the Tuesday, and then when he said that she hadn't they quickly said "we tried to phone you but you didn't answer". Bullcrap, ass-hats!

Anyway, we now have a washmachine/tumbledryer. Yesterday we moved it from the bedroom (we thought we'd keep it there but the pipes aren't long enough) to the kitchen. We test-ran the thing, basically letting it wash itself. It was so COOL! Ok yes we're UBERboring, watching (excitedly) at our new washingmachine doing its thang. But it was so cool... so QUIET and it spun so fast! 1200rpm. That was yesterday evening.

We then went with W&S, X&L (and some other ppls) to see 300. Very cool... VERY gory! :D

We got home and G washed some vital clothes, but we didn't know that you have to select dry before you press start. So he washed clothes but wasn't able to dry them. We have to find out how it works, else how are you supposed to wash 7kgs and then take out half so that you can dry them in 3.5kgs portions? There has to be some way.

Anyway what else is news.

Nothing much.

I'll post more when I can remember.

G is the most special, amazing, loving guy ever!

And his car is superuberhyperposh ;)
