This just explains it..

Soulmate - Natasha Bedingfield
Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find
Is it possible Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Ooh

So I really wanted to buy a new bag, but the lexie barnes superstar messenger bag didn't have a zipper on top to keep everything from falling out when I stuff it under the seat when I fly.. so I appeased myself by buying a couple of needle cases. I thought since they were on sale and I was tired of the rubber bands keeping my dp needles together, hey why not? Santa didn't bring me that shiny bike I wanted for Christmas, so I will buy some needle cases. Now if they would just hurry up and come. WEBS emailed me and let me know one was on backorder but I think they are still sending the other ones? I hope so...

Christmas is Over

Christmas is over, and well, it was nice, but being away from family is hard. So goodbye 2008, it was a rough ride, hoping for a smoother 2009. I promptly took down the Christmas decorations on Saturday. My roommate got home and was like whoa, Christmas is over huh?? Haha, like the Grinch came in and stole all the holiday trimmings.. Well if I had a disco ball and a DJ table to put up for New Year's, I would be all over that. Hmmm.. the roommate did get one of those fancy margarita machines, maybe I should make snacks and declare it blended drink night....

So New Year's is fast approaching, but unfortunately I have to work on Friday... ugh.. which is hard since my friends want me to come up to my old town, SLO town... I really want to go but the old fuddy duddy in me says stay home and make drinks. Hmm...might get a wild hair and go anyways.. we will see if I get out of the office early on Wed, my guess is not so much... One can wish though, right?
I am looking forward to seeing my girlfriends though, I have not seen a lot of them in months and I miss everyone so much. Since moving here I don't really work with people my age and its been a challenge to make friends, since lets face it, Camarillo isn't the hot area for activities and nightlife.

Anyone live here? Cool chicks... like to knit, dance, take in a movie, martini???

Snuggly

So I am suffering from its not 80 degrees and I am not in Hawaii syndrome, haha.... So its finally raining down here in Ventura County. (Which seems to only happen a couple times a year). I actually love the rain.. I like the sound it makes on the roof, it makes getting out of my snuggly bed fricken hard. Like hit the snooze button 3 times and think about just not getting out hard.
I have been having sort of knitters block lately, I think its because I tend to over-think my knitting sometimes. I have been making these handwarmers and they use the increase M1, but there are two ways to do a M1, a right slanting and a left slanting. So I am wondering if I need to use both when making handwarmers or not? Since I am increasing for the thumb part, I hate it when my knitting looks wonky and I was doing the M1 left then the M1 right and I either missed something somewhere or it just didn't look right to me, so I guess I just need to get over it and try a swatch piece or something. Anyone have any ideas? I think the last time I made these I just used the kfb increase method, because again I think I got annyoed that M1 never specifies which M1, left or right... grrr...

Casa Pacifica & Giving

So I went on a tour of Casa Pacifica, a non-profit agency here in Camarillo which serves the needs of neglected, abused and severly emotionally disturbed children and adolesescents from the Tri-County areas of Southern California. They offer residential treatment, emergency shelter & various other programs to help children and families. The kids had written out wishes for Christmas (they each get one gift). So my co-workers and I took the wishes and started a drive at work to fulfill some of the kids wishes. Now I need to find a Britney Spears poster and a Jonas Brothers poster, anyone know where I can find one??

Just reminded me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family. (Which I miss very much since they are in Hawaii). Makes you re-evaluate what is important in your life...

Squishy

So squishy would be the word I would say about my figure right now. No, I am not fat or overweight but I feel like my muscle tone has been evaporating into thin air. Must be something about leaving the good old twenties behind and diving more into my thirties. Wah! is all I can say about that. I did go to the gym last night and take a weightlifting class from my local 24 hour fitness.. all I can say now is ouch! In a good way, but ouch...

It's Funny

Sometimes I like being alone, surrounding myself with my knitting or jewlery making or whatever endeavor I am currently focusing on at the moment. Sometimes alone is good.. Although I must say, I can't fall asleep before midnight when I am alone, which causes sleepy me in the morning.
