So, I made an ass of myself today...
Current mood: sore

Well, only a little bit.  Okay, so I didn't really make an ass of myself, but Liz and I did get a big laugh over how fat and out of shape I am.  :D  Let's start from the beginning.

Today Joe wanted to go play paintball.  We heard of this place out in Apple Valley where guys come out to play, and the guy that told us about it said that they had horseback riding and stuff for the ladies (that's me!) and kids.  The weather yesterday was absolutely beautiful, so we decided to go for it today and make the trip up there.  We tried to get a bunch of different people (okay, so we asked our only 2 friends, plus two family members) if they wanted to go with us, and only one person said yes.  The only one that went through with it was Liz, and she brought along her kids Josh (6) and Cody (2).  I've only ridden horses twice in my life, and the last time was when I was 11 years old. 

Anyway.  I was the first up to get on a horse (of course.  Of COURSE).  I was expecting a bale of hay or someshit to be able to step up on so it was easier to get on the horse, right?  Nope, no haybale for Jenn.  The guy that was riding with us gets down on one knee next to the horse, in the position for a proposal, and he tells me to step up on his knee.  Oh.My.God.  I started laughing right away, before even putting my foot up, thinking of all the hilarity that was about to ensue.  First off, if you don't already know, I'm short.  I'm only 5'1.  Also, I'm a little chu... okay, no, I'm fat as shit.  (Trivia: Did you know that I gained like 20lbs in the past 6 months from eating fast food EVERYday and then sitting around watching Christmas trees not sell?  Worse diet evar!  Fuck you, Kennesaw, making me even more of a fatty!  I also blame the rapid weight gain as part of a hormonal imbalance, but that's not officially diagnosed yet) 

Where was I? 

Oh, yeah, the ass-making.  Okay, so I stood there laughing because I knew what was going to (and did) happen. 

He says "Put your right foot on my knee, get your left foot in the stirrup, then swing your right leg over the saddle."  Easy enough, right?  I lifted my left leg up to stand on his knee (struggling to even get it that high because I apparently have little tiny babylegs), and Liz, Josh (and probably Cody, too, for all I know) got behind me to help push me up.  So I start to get ready to stand up and I realize that it feels like half my ass is hanging out because Josh had started pushing already and had ended up only pushing up my shirt in the back.  o.O  I started laughing and fixed my shirt and they stopped helping to push, haha.  Alright, so, I got my right foot back on his knee, and I go to stand up on my one leg, trying to not feel so bad for putting all my fatty weight on his bent leg, and... nothing.  I was still laughing and so my leg wouldn't function!  So I laugh even harder because my leg is retarded.  I stretch that leg back up onto his knee and I start to lift up this time, reaching for the little knob thing on the top of the saddle... and then I plop back down because I started laughing again, knowing that my left foot was never going to swing between my right leg and his body.  So I laugh some more, and I put my right foot back up on his knee, try to swing my ass up real quick because sometimes things are easier when you do them fast (think: ripping a bandaid off).  So then I was up on the horse.

Just kidding, my right foot totally just slipped off the front of his knee and my shoe probably scraped all the way down his shin and I probably smashed his foot.  Of course, I was laughing too hard at my retarded ass to even notice.  The good news is he finally gave up on the knee thing after that.  He finally just had me stick my left foot in the stirrup and pull myself up and just use his shoulder for support. 

After we had me all situated on my horsey, it was Josh's turn next.  That was pretty uneventful, he just picked Josh up and put him on his horse.  Why couldn't he have just done that with me?  >:|

Anyway, Liz came after me, but she probably didn't want to look like as much of a jackass as I did, so she just grabbed on and forced herself to pull her way up.  From the view I had of her coming over the top of the horse, it kinda looked like in movies when action heros are supposed to be dead from a carcrash over a cliff, but then when the badguy is looking down you can see the hero climbing up the cliff, all shakey and sweaty from the struggle.  Yeah...  Liz is my little, round, shakey action hero!  :D 

I hope that paragraph made sense... My head is a little woozy because I had to take a sleeping aid with my tylenol earlier.  My!Ass!HURTS!

The actual ride itself was pretty uneventful.  The best part was that Liz's horse was slow as shit and it kept stopping to graze, so she and Cody kept getting left behind.  Then her horse would start trotting to catch up to the rest of us, and I'd just hear Liz behind me screaming "Whoa. WhoaWhoaWHOAWHOA!!"  It was kinda scary at the time, because she had Cody with her, but now that we're all safely off the horses it's funny. 

Okay, I think that's all the typing I can handle for tonight.  I need to crawl into bed.  I'm SO scared of how sore I'm going to be in the morning.  Poor me.  =(

I got married (again)!
Current mood: chipper

Wow, it's been a long time since I've written a blog.  Like, a long time.  In my last blog, I said I was about to leave for work... yeah, um... I don't work anymore.  Actually, I AM working right now (it's almost Halloween, afterall), and I'm actually getting paid for being here this time (here being outside of Atlanta, GA), but it's not, YA know, a real job.  Anyways.  Let's not talk about stupid things like why I don't work anymore.

Umm... everything has been going well since we've been in GA.  Kind of.  Things were shitty for me at the beginning, but I guess they're a little better now.  Nothing really to talk about... mostly I've had my ass parked in front of my computer all day, same as when I'm at home, except now I'm spending 4 to 9 hours a day designing flyers and updating the website and other crap we need to do for the haunted house that no one else has time for because everyone else can actually BUILD shit. 

The other 4 to 10 hours of my time awake has been spent playing stupid maplestory.  I hate that game!  It's so addictive it's not even funny.  (www.nexon.net, if you want to ruin your life like I have.  Play on the Mardia server dammit) 

Anyway, the rest of this blog is going to be dedicated to Maplestory.  You know why?  Because I effing got married on the game.  To another real person!  How awes.... how weird is that?  Like, I forked over about $5 to buy a wedding dress, and HE was awesome enough to pay almost $30 so that we could have a premium cathedral wedding [i.e the absolute best wedding (out of like 4 choices/prices) on the game].

Because DanDan never made a noob so he could come watch my wedding, here are some of the screenshots I took during the ceremony:

That's a pic of right after we were pronounced husband and wife, rofl.  Phoenix's face makes me laugh. =P  That's Denise up in the upper left (AvaLeija) looking all cute next to Hito (who, unfortunately, has a fiance).

That's me being mad, at the top with my new MS husband, because Joe had walked by the computer during the wedding and totally embarassed the hell out of me because he started laughing at me when I told him to leave me alone because I was in the middle of getting married. 

That was the best screenshot I got, with all our guests. 

That's me being sad because the wedding was over.  =(

That's me and Niv smooching sometime after the wedding, with some perv in a bunny suit watching. 

Teh end. 

Alright, you guys can start telling me how nerdy I am now.  >=|

No good dreams..
Current mood: tired

Well, last night was the first time in a long while that I tried to go to sleep without taking anything to help me sleep through the night, and it sucked.  Usually I just take a generic "sleep-aid" and it knocks me out for 8-10 hours, but I have a couple little nasty habits that I need to break, so I figure I might as well try to knock some of them out while I'm quitting smoking.  Well, the only two that I can think of are sleeping pills and caffeine comsumption.  Oh, and eating junk.  ANYway, so I didn't take anything last night, and I kept waking up every hour or so.  I didn't even get to have any awesome dreams!  I only had one dream that I can remember last night, and it wasn't very realistic.  Which totally sucked, because I dreamed I was eating a funnel cake.  It wasn't a very good one, though, because I accidentally ate all the fruit and whipped cream first (it was in a bowl on the side), so the funnel cake was plain.  =(  But, yeah, I woke up and I was sad because I hadn't even thought about funnel cake this week when I thought about the fair being in town, but now I'm sad because it's too late to go. =(  Funnnnnnelllll ccaaaaaakkkeeee!  ='(

Anyhow, my afghan is 8.5 (out of 60) rows done so far.  I had to stop because I ran out of black, so now I've gotta go pick some up.  Hopefully Joe will let me get a skein of green, too, so I don't have to stop when I get to that color.  Here's an artist's rendering of how the afghan will look when it's done:

Alright, we're off to Wal-mart, then to JoeMama's house.  BYE!

I'm such a quitter...
Current mood: eh

Alright, so, yeah. I'm quitting smoking. Actually, I started the quitting process yesterday, but I ended up having 4 throughout the day (I had one in the morning before I left for work, bummed 2 of the crappiest, cheapest cigarettes ever from my co-worker, and one more in the evening after work). That's not so bad, since usually I smoke around 3/4 pack (15 for you nonsmokers) a day. Today so far I've had one. All I have left in my emergency stash is one, plus a couple of cloves I've had since October that I'll probably end up smoking anyway when I get desperate enough. They'll most likely gross me out and I'll put them out fast, but oh well, at least I know they're there.

Yay, opening day!
Current mood: anxious

So my work is finally opening today.  I get to be there all day today (booya, 10 hours of money!).  I'm excited.  No, really.  I think I'll just be running the register all day, but it's all good.  Whatever.  If you know where it is, come by and see me today.  No free drinks, though.  =[  I don't even know if I get a discount.  Probably not, but the prices are super cheap anyway (no drinks over $3, unless you get all crazy and start adding lots of flavor shots or whatever).  If you don't know where it is, send me a msg and if I trust you, ha-ha, I'll let you know and you can come see me some other day during the morning shift.  =D

Oh, man, that was awesome.
Current mood: mischievous

Aahaha, I was just mixing up some random spices and other things to make something that smells somewhat funky for a project that I'm working on... I started out with some cinnamon, nutmeg, a little bit of a bath fizzy thing, and a little lotion and let it soak overnight while I was at my mom's.  I came back today and smelled it, and the lotion smell was overpowering everything, and it didn't smell bad at all, so I went over to the kitchen and added in a bunch of pepper and the lotion scent still overpowered everything.  I put in some garlic powder (lol) and I could barely smell it.  Finally, I took one of those Crystal Light single serve flavor packet things in Peach Tea and dumped it in (don't tell Joe that I wasted one of those, he likes them but that flavor sorta grosses me out).  I shook it up and it started foaming all over the place (not sure what exactly happened there), and when that was under control I took a whiff.  It made me feel nauseous and I thought I was going to puke. 

PERFECT!

And just what project do I need stinky-juice for, you say?

...it's a secret.  ;-)

Now that I've got that off my chest...
Current mood: accomplished

San Diego was good.  I liked it better this time than last time, because I was actually able to make myself useful.  They wanted to set up this first room that had all kinds of neat effects like lights turning off and sounds changing and all that, all triggered by a remote.  I figured out how to do the programming (and did a little dance because I felt like the smartest person on earth for a few minutes), and then I still had a ton of problems getting everything to work properly.  Finally, on the last day, Joe and I made one change, and everything worked properly.  YAY!  The only problem now is that the small remote that they wanted to use has a somewhat crappy range and doesn't want to work all the time, and the big remote that was working well is too big to hide discreetly anywhere. 

I guess I really don't have much else to write about now, since all I've been doing for the past few days is working on figuring out the X10 system and all it's quirky bugs.  I doubt anyone reading this shares any interest in that (but be sure to msg me if you do, I have lots of bitching to do about that haha), so I guess I'll end this in a sec.

But, first, one thing I want to say is this:  It never really concerned me in high school when rumors flew around that I was a weirdo (or a lesbian, or crazy, or whatever the rumor of the month was).  I knew what I was and wasn't, and the rude words of a few people didn't concern me, even when they were believed by people who didn't know me and just accepted it as truth. 

That's all I've got to say.

Back to SD.
Current mood: moody

We're heading out to my parent's house in a bit to go do some laundry and get a little sleep.  We're heading back down to San Diego in the morning to finish up the work down there so that they can hopefully open up on Weds.  Wednesday is Valentine's day.  I get to help Joe work and not get paid for it on Wednesday.  Yay!

I'd rather sit around at home and make stuff, and at least pretend that I might get paid eventually for doing it.  Oh well.  I better at least get some smokes and yarn out of it.

This sucks.  I'm not ready for the season to start, but the first haunt convention is this weekend, in LA, and right after that we have to leave for Chicago for the big convention.  At least after that one there's a gap before the next one.  The next one is in May, so that'll give me all of March and April to get some of the products in my head made and up on a website so I can try to sell some costumes or whatever. 

Speaking of costumes, I need ideas for what I should make for myself to wear at a costume ball in May.  I think I want something that's going to cover all of me, like my whole face and all.  No skimpy outfit ideas, plzthx. 
I was thinking of something like a totally girly version of Frank, with like lighter/brighter fur, but I think that's going to take way more money and time than I'm going to have, especially with all the other projects I want to get done before then.  ::sigh::  Oh well, think of other stuff that might be easier and let me know.

Alright, time to go pack.  Again.

5am sucks.
Current mood: grumpy

Why do I always end up writing my blogs around 5am?  I hate that.  I'm always so tired by this time that my blogs must not come out as well as they could.  I should learn to blog a little earlier in my evenings, instead of right before bed.  I suppose that maybe I hope that something interesting might happen before I fall asleep.  Who am I kidding thinking that?  Myself, apparently.

Today was another boring suckfest.  I spent most of the day on the computer, catching up at all the sites that I missed out on for 3 days.  I didn't crochet much, or do much of anything else.  I ended up watching Donnie Darko again, hoping I'd be ready to fall asleep by the time it was over, but it ended an hour and a half ago and I'm still going. 

Wow.

I really did nothing today.  That's lame as all hell.

I'm going to bed.  >;|

I'm home. And pooped.
Current mood: geeky

I don't feel like writing much, but now that I've started it'll probably go on forever.  Anyway, here goes:

BBT:  Didn't take it because I was sleeping weird hours.

I don't want to talk about it.

I only typed up one blog while we were out there, but my laptop was being dumb and didn't want to connect to the hotel's wireless connection.  Actually, it connected, but neither IE nor AIM would start up properly.  Not sure what the problem was, but I never felt like screwing around with it after the first evening of trying to get online.  I don't remember what all I wrote on that blog the first day, but if it doesn't totally suck, I'll post it next time I get on the laptop. 

The area of San Diego we were in was pretty awesome.  We were downtown in the Gaslamp Quarter.  It's such a neat little area.  I guess the only place I have to compare it to is old town Pasadena.  It was pretty similar to that, with all the old buildings and shops all over, and people actually WALKING around.  You hardly ever see anybody walking around the desert, besides kids with no cars walking between the mall and the movie theater or the occasional bum.  The Gaslamp Quarter really picked up at night, too, which was also weird for me.  Since tonight was a Saturday, I saw tons more people walking around after midnight than I did during the daytime any of the previous days.  There were a lot of clubs and bars, but we didn't hit any of them up.  I spent all of my time either in the haunted house working or at the hotel sleeping.  It's always fun when we go to a nice touristy area, and we just end up working the whole time.  We drove around last night trying to find a grocery store, so we got to see a little bit more of downtown than we had seen previously on our block and a half walks between the hotel and haunted house.  There were some pretty cool places down there.  There was a Hustler store that we drove by, and they sold lingerie and I guess DVDs and stuff like that.  The 2nd time we passed it (we were sorta lost), I saw that there was a chick dancing in lingerie the window, haha.  Joe missed it.  Suckerrrr.  JK, he was probably just acting like he didn't see it so I didn't accuse him of driving by again on purpose.  He can be a smart boy sometimes.  Oh, and I didn't get to go down to the beach or harbor or whatever, even though it was probably like half a mile from where we were the whole time, but we at least drove by it earlier today and I got to see the water, haha.  Ummm, I'll probably think of more stuff I saw later.

The people we worked for/with were all real nice, so it didn't totally suck working so much.  Well, I didn't work much, but I DID get bored sitting around while Joe worked.  That's gotta count for something.  Today I got stuck as his gopher, because he needed help so he wasn't running around looking for tools and parts half the day. 

One of the people we were working with also does a limo ghost tour around San Diego.  I'd love to tag along on one of those sometime.  One of their stops is actually in the haunted house we were at.  The haunt is down in the basement of a really old building, so I guess I could believe it.  I wanted to try and listen in on the lore of the building when he brought his group through last night, but Joe and I were upstairs waiting for our pizz... uhh... for Joe's pizza when they were in the basement telling the story.  The only thing I heard about the ghost that's supposed to be there is that it leaves handprints in fresh paint.  It's probably a good thing that I didn't actually listen in on the story, because I've got an overactive imagination and I would have been scaring myself good.  ESPECIALLY because Joe and I were working there alone until midnight or later each night we were there. 

I've never experienced anything paranormal, so I can't say whether I really believe or not.  Most of the time I lean towards no because a lot of it just seems ridiculous, but that sure doesn't stop me from expecting something creepy as all hell to happen to me when I'm all alone and have no way to prove anything. 

While I'm on the subject of the paranormal, I'll bring up what happened to me yesterday.  I know it was just my brain deteriorating and being loony, but it was still pretty cool.  I stayed at the hotel and slept while Joe went to work, because he's crazy and went in around 9:30 after not falling asleep until almost 4am.  We woke up at 9 and went down to the breakfast area and I grabbed a banana, yogurt, and coffee to bring back to the room with me for later.  After that, Joe left to go work, and I watched some TV before I fell back asleep.  When I sleeping I heard somebody talking, and she said "Did you have a nice rest...?  Did you have a nice rest?"  and I woke up.  Then I heard Joe scratching at the door, trying to get his keycard to work, haha.  It was so awesome, totally Donnie Darko.  It's not the first time I've had it happen, that's what made it so cool.  I'm so excited that I might have an imaginary friend!  I hope she's got a better costume than Frank, though.  Geez.  I've heard other people talking when I was sleeping before, but most of the other times I had on a radio or something.  The only other times, besides the past couple times, that I've heard other people talking that weren't there were when I took naps in one of the hearses before, and I know that was just my brain being all dumb because of all the stigma associated with hearses.  (Honestly, though, if there are such things as ghosts...why the hell would any of them hang around a hearse?  I doubt that any of them would hold any sort of significance towards the vehicle, besides maybe someone that drove it for a long time, but even then... do many ghosts haunt their workplaces?  hah!)  Those times it sounded like people were standing outside talking to each other.  These past few times have been the first time that I've heard voices actually talking TO me.  How exciting!

I'm getting loonier and loonier everyday.  =D

As far as whether or not I had a good rest, I suppose I'd have to say that the answer was no.  I ended up hopping right back into bed and sleeping until 5pm.  =X

And now I'm off to bed.  Ya'll tell me some good, truelife, happened-to-a-friend-of-a-friend ghoststories.  I need some entertainment.  Or tell me why ghosts are totally not real, so they stop waking me up.

BBT:97.5, 2:30pm

I'm writing this blog way earlier than usual (about 12 hours earlier, by the looks of it), because we might be heading down to San Diego tonight.  I don't know why I'm even bothering to write, I've only been awake for about 3 hours, haha.  Well, it's my current goal to write everyday, so that's why.  Anyhow, Joe's got a small job lined up down there to set up some animatronics, so we'll be there for 2-3 days.

I obviously haven't done much today, since it normally takes me about an hour after waking up to even be somewhat functionable.  I was about to work on some maryjanes, but then I realized that my hook was in the bedroom, and I didn't feel like getting up to get it.  Mostly I just sat around on the computer, talking a little bit to Liz and a little bit to Daniel, and browsing some message boards.  I already got bored with the internets, so now I need to find something else to do until we find out if we're heading down to SD tonight.  If we don't go tonight, I'll probably come back on before bed and write again.

Either way, whether we go tonight or tomorrow, I'll be bringing my laptop with me.  I have no idea if whatever hotel/motel we stay at will have internet hookups, but even if they don't I'll probably type up some blogs and just post them when I get home.  I'll have to remember to bring my camera, too.  And a toothbrush.  I always forget that. 

Okay it's official, we're going tonight.  We'll probably be leaving around 9 or 10. 

Words from The Man himself.  I hope I at least get to see the ocean while we're down there.  It's been a while.  Guess I better go pack up my crochet stuffs and put on some makeup!  =D

*edit, 6:30pm* You know... I wish I could speak even half as clearly as I can write.  But, no, instead when I try to speak I sound like a dyslexic on downers.  "Ha-ha!  That's my finger-pickin' nose!"  I really said that about a week ago.  Yes, it's still bothering me.  Yes, I worry about stupid things entirely way too much.

Current mood: bored

BBT: 98.0, 2:30pm (it's been higher than usual 2 days in a row... I wonder if this means my period will be coming soon.  We'll see within about 2 weeks, I guess?  That'd be kinda cool.  I sorta miss it.)

Doing good still.  Really doesn't feel so much like a "diet" anymore.  I love that.  It was kinda funny, a little while ago Joe asked me to bring him two bagels.  I went to the kitchen and stuck one bagel (cinnamon raisin) in the microwave, then in the toaster, and I grabbed him a peach and a bottle of water.  When I brought it to him, he gave me a weird look, so I asked him "...what?"  I thought he was going to say something about me only bringing him one bagel, but he said "You didn't cut it up and put butter on it."  Well, durrr, that's how I've been eating my bagels, so it didn't even cross my mind to slather it with butter, haha.  Funny boy. 
I'm getting a little tired of eating so much fruit and somewhat bland foods, finally.  Well, a lot of the stuff isn't really bland, but I just want something that tastes reaaaally good, like something from a restaurant.  I'm skerred to go to any restaurant now, because portions are so ridiculously huge.  Then there's the free bread/chips/whatever to do battle with.  I mean... it's free and there's a ton on the table.  I have to eat it.  Have to.  I always have to clean my plate, too, as long as I'm not so full that I think I might barf if I eat another bite.  Sometimes even then.  ;[  No wonder I'm so fat, haha.  Anyway, I was thinking that maybe I should invest in a spice rack, but yeah.  I haven't a clue how to use spices and what tastes good together, so I'd be wasting a lot of food if I did that.

Today was really freaking boring.  I got up and sat on the computer and worked on some maryjanes, talked to Liz on AIM for a little bit, crocheted some more.  Then dumb Joe went to bed at 8:30, so I didn't have anyone to bug.  Then Denise apparently fell asleep earlier than usual, so instead of coming on to talk with me at around 9pm, she didn't get on until 11pm or so.  I was so bored with those extra two hours without her online, I didn't know what to do with myself.  So I did nothing. 

Oh, cruising around online today, I found these roses:

I think they're AWESOME.  Doesn't seem like anyone else likes them, though.  They're dyed, but if any flowers ever grew in all those colors, my yard (if I had one) would be smothered in them!  And then they'd all die because I don't have a greenthumb and can't even maintain a single, lonely houseplant.

Hm.  What am I going to get for Valentine's day, since I won't eat chocolate?  Pffft, nothing.  V-day is worthless without chocolate.

Joe just bit my buttcheek.  o_O  Creep. 

I think that means it's time to get off the computer.

Porkchop Sandwiches!
Current mood: better

BBT: 98.0, 2:30pm

What to write. 

He'll have ideas and desires of his own.  And ideas about religion.

I'm not doing that no more, cause I can't read doing that, and I read and you tell me doing things and I run and

My God that smelled good.

Porkchop sandwiches!

Okay, so that's what I get when I ask Joe to tell me what to write for my blog.

Are you still typing what I'm saying?  Ha-ha-ha, stop it.  Jenn is a poopyhead.

Anyway, did fine again today.  Still no exercise.  I weighed myself this morning, though.  I'm down 7lbs, heck yes.  Not too shabby for sitting on my bum all day.  Umm... as far as feeling like cheating, I stole a bite of Joe's garlic bread (shhHHH, don't tell him it wasn't a mouse), and I ate one truffle (freaking 50 calories, but oh so worth it).  I'm probably still below my calorie range for today, but those truffles sure taste like sin.

I feel much better today.  Thank you guys for leaving such wonderful comments.  I love you guys, too.  =)  I think I probably feel a lot better for getting so much off my chest finally.  Not that it truly fixes anything, but I feel good tonight.  

Today I worked on a few different pairs of maryjanes.  I finished off a pair I started a few days ago that were intended for Liz.  They're an off white color, with a pink colored trim.  They have a whole lot of flaws in them that I've since figured out how to fix, so I think I'll end up keeping that pair for myself, even though they're a tiny bit too small.  Sorry, Liz.  =P  I think I definitely need to try to make it back out to Joann's to pick up some more of this yarn I'm using while it's still on sale, and stock up on a bunch of black.  It's been so cheap but I've only bought a couple skeins all in diff colors because I wasn't sure if I was really going to like the stuff or not. 
Survey says: I love it.  It's sort of a pain in the butt to crochet with, because it's thick and kind of stiff, but it's 100% cotton, so it should make super comfortable maryjanes, especially since they should get softer with each wash.  Of course, the sale will be over by Saturday, and I don't have any spare crafting cash to go out and get any right now anyway.  Someone better buy that damn car off us, so I can get more yarn.  >;O  Otherwise, the people that I'm making test the slippers for me are going to be getting them in some pretty funky color combos that probably only I would like, haha.  Well, I have one skein of black (one skein makes approx. 2 pairs), one white, half of one off white, and half of one pink.  April's already requested black, so there goes half that skein (probably more, with her big feet, haha).  One thing, though, is that I'm pretty sure that since the stuff is cotton, it SHOULD take regular fabric dye really well.  That means I can dye the white and the off white with any of the fabric dyes I have, so that will make a few more color choices for me when I go to make them.  I'm going to try out dying them, anyway, because the color choice in this yarn pretty much sucks anyway at Joann's.  I have an online Gift Card for Joann's, but it's only for $10 and the prices are higher on there anyway, plus I'd have to pay shipping.  Oh well, I don't think they cost TOO much more when they're not on sale. 

I guess it's about time to go turn some tricks to earn some more crafting money.
