new hats

2007-08-04T01:23:10Z

I have completed two hats for my little girl for the Fall :)
First is just done in Caron Simply Soft, no pattern, just a cable border leading into a regular stockinette stitch hat. I don't use patterns so it came from my mind...

Sunny Days hat, again no pattern, just imagination...

I love knitting ;-)

My best friend's sister is going to have a baby girl at the end of Janusry. I get all excited so I have made her a few things so far, but I'm sure I will make more soon:) All of these are freehand and I never write patterns down so yeah:)

Newborn hat and mitts in a great cashmere blend...

Grey kitty-cat hat for when she gets a little older...

Purple bonnet with pom-poms in that same great cashmere blend..

The satrt of a pink teddy bear...I only have his head done I was working on it a great part of the day....

The ugliest blanket in the world...

2006-12-11T23:44:40Z

I am on a mission. I want to make the ugliest blanket in the world. I think i can accomplish this easily and quickly. You see...I have lots of half done knitting and crochet projects that will be great to piece together for this sole purpose. I mean i estimate the blanket will be done in early 2007. So it will have to be quick and easy. It is sort of funny too because I am going to use all types of yarn...from cheesey 1.99 skeins to 12.00 for 80 yard skeins. I can imagine it will be heavy too. And it will have to be dry cleaned because I already used a very nice silk cashmere blend in it. LMAO. I want to put it on the bed when done with it. kenny is involved in this too, as I have taught him how to knit...in fact as we speak he is knitting a sqare to be put into the blanket. I wish I knew some more people that knit or crochet because I would ask for their help...I mean if everyone made a square or something it would be done soooo much more quickly. LOL I would even supply the yarn...considering I have enough to open my own yarn shop if I wanted to. Ok back to my knitting....because we all need an ugly homemade blanket!

well it is the start of a brand new day. I wish I were still sleeping. I ended up having the nicest ream about someone who I will not disclose but they are on my friends list and it isn't anyone obvious. So yeah I really didn't want to wake up. So now I'm up and Kenny had brought me breakfast in bed and left (good combo) and I decided to get on here and write this. I have to get my bum moving though because Bubba has his eye doctor appt this morning....hopefully his last one for now. I don't know I just feel like vegging out today. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. Drinking coffee and watching guilty pleasure tv would be a great way to spend my day I think...lol. Oh well back to the daily grind.

The kids are all doing very well. Noel is almost 5 now and her speach has improved dramatically. Ben just turned 10 and he thinks he is 15...lol. Walter is doing well too he has been a little sick lately but other than that he is in excellent shape. I've been watching kids lately at one point it was up to 7 including my own...now it is back down to 6...surprised I didn't rip my hair out...tee hee. I'm back doing eBay. I dunno I'm knitting like a fool again...not so much crochet anymore it was getting too tough on the wrists. I'm still living at the same place. I've changed my style quite a bit...lol. I'm going to post some pics so ya'll can take a gander at the new me. But yeah okay I will talk to you all soon and I hope you all are doing well.

I'm back

2006-05-22T22:43:38Z

So here I am I'll give those of you who don't have a myspace account the ups on whats been going on. I met this great guy named Kenny back in March, March 21 to be exact. We have gotton engaged and things are wonderful. The kids are good too. Noel ends school on Thursday, Bubba is talking and copyin everyhting that Kenny does, and Ben is well...playing a lot of video games. Walter hasn't seen the kids for about 2 and 1/2 months. He is an ass, he won't even pick up the phone to talk to the kids. Whatever. He loses out. I got a washing machine finally, for free mind you. I have been doing laundry all weekend and my arms hurt from hanging it up in my house. Ummmm...let's see what else...hmmm...I don't know it's been fairly "normal" around here for so long I don't have much to yak about. I am crocheting a little more. I'm making a poncho for the Fall for Noel, she loves ponchos. It is a turtleneck one, pink and white. I'm going to dye my hair black tonight. I am also going to get multiple piercings. Not tonight, but soon because we bought some piercing needles and some hot body jewelry to go along with it. I got it off of eBay. Speaking of which eBay suspended my fucking account. Assholes. Walter ran up my old tab with them and never paid it, so I just created another account with another debit card, too bad they found out it was me of course I've had these accounts for almost a year now.....they don't catch on too quick apparently. They are raining my bag. I want to start up a t-shirt business with Kenny too. Not sure what we are going to name it yet though. Sure we'll come up with something. We have a lot ideas for funny shirts. Like he wants one that says "Worlds Greatest Lesbian" and "Ron Jeremy Is My Dad"....yeah those kinds of t-shits. I want to put Jesus in a caddy and put the saying..."I roll with Jesus" for Ben, since he likes church so much. So yeah. Oh and I have a cell phone too so if anyone wants to text me go for it....5084418449. Ok peeps going to get going talk to you all real soon. Oh and did I mention that I weigh 198 when last year at this time I weighed 260...yeah baby...first time I've been under 200 in ten years...LOL. Bye!!!!

2006-04-09T17:31:40Z

Well good old Alyson is back after a 2 month hiatus. I felt kind of shitty about LJ for awhile, just sick of it ya know but i'm feeling the need to start writing again and my other journal really doesn't have my whole life story either this one does, lots of reasons for me coming back and using jeensgrrl. Anyhoo....first things first...whats going on with all of you??? I've only talked one or two of you since I've been gone. It's been sort of a wild ride the last few months. I'm starting to feel like my old self again a bit though. I do have a brand spanking new bf, which is great. His name is kenny and he lives here with me, we have been together now for almost a month. Right now I'm a little peeved with him, but thats because I want to get the fuck out of the house and he isn't feeling so great, which totally isn't his fault but yeah I feel the need to get the fuck out and do something. I'm hating being hme lately, don't ask me why I just don't know. I'm thinking about moving again. I think thats my problem. Everytime I look around this shithole I see things that remind me of when Walter was around and I'd rather be stuck under a sky that is raining shit and to remember him...he is such an ass and I have decided that I hate him...yes hate him. I don't use that word to describe too many of my relationships with people, but I can use it for this one. I mean what a fucktard. Okay so anyway you now know about Kenny and how thats going, ummmm....the kids are good I guess....being there cute little annoying selves I guess. next week is my 26th birthday...whooop-did-eee-freakin-doo. I guess I'm going out because my sis is coming to watch the kids but I really don't have any set plans. So yeah...we'll see I have a feeling it's going to end up being shopping, movie, dinner, barf bag. Who knows maybe it will be a good one but who knows who knows who knows. Also I've noticed a lot of my bi-polar symptoms coming back, weird, that hasn't happened in awhile. For a long time I think I was so used to feeling one way I was numbed. I'm not numb anymore, I'm feeling again which I guess is good...sometimes. Most of the time I want the world to just fuck off but other times I'm in one of my really happy giddy manic modes and thats fun, I'd take that anyday over feeling like this. Right now I'm pissy and my period isn't helping really. I need to do something and I don't know what. Weird. Nothing to do...you think that I would be grateful...not me I seem to strive when I have a million freaking things on my plate...nothing like feeding off of stress. It's actually pretty boring not being stressed. It gives me time to stick my thumb up my ass I suppose. Joking...maybe...LOL. I havebeen knitting and such...but even that sucks a lot lately. Just not feeling it ya know. I want more...maybe now would be a good time for me to go back to school it would give me something to do other than sit here like a lazy ass. I dunno how comfy I am with that yet though although the thought is seeming pretty appealing right now considering how much I hate doing nothing. I might as well keep busy with something fairly productive, and what would be more productive than going back to school? I want to be a hairdresser in the worst way I just have to work up the energy to get the fuck out of here and just go and do it. I've been cutting my kids hair and my hair now for awhile and I'm pretty damn good at it but *sigh* you need a goddamn license to be able to go near the publics hair with sharp instruments. Stupid rules and laws...LMAO. Not like I would hurt anyone....lol...just imagine me sitting there and some dude with a pornstache is complaining how he doesn't like his new haircut and I accidentally slip with the scissors and hit his neck...whoops...LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Ok that was a little sadistic of me but yeah I think that would be a thought that would come to mind. My sleeping patterns have been a changin too...no sleep for Alyson...I might as well just stay dressed and do jumping jacks at 2 AM...LOL....I'm such a little insomniac. Oh yeah I've dropped about 20 more pounds too...thanks to the Nicole Richie school of dieting...LOL...no really I didn't go that route but I'm still not sure how the weight actually came off...just sort of went away. Probably because no one bring me fast food twice a day anymore. so my new fave sore is American Eagle...nice to be able to in there and buy what I want now instead of having to go to the plus sizes....I knew victory would be mine I just didn't realize how soon. Things are good things are bad things are normal...peace out peeps.

hangman

This is the dream I had the other day. It's really fucked up but here it is...

I drempt that I lived across the street from a large park and that there was a tree dead center to my apartment and I live on the top floor. Anyway I went out for a very early morning walk and I saw Walter (ex-bf) and his truck. I didn't want to talk to him so I went in the house away from him. I did however watch him from my window. I watched him make a noose with the clothesline we bought to tie our Christmas tree down with. Him climbed up the tree and hung himself while watched and did nothing. I couldn't help but keep looking at him...just hanging there. I didn't call the cops...just pretended like I didn't see it. A little while later as daylight broke a jogger spotted him and called 911. I'm just watching as people come to see him...just hanging there. The emergency peeps never came, wouldn't have mattered anyway considering I was pretty sure he was dead, probably died not long after jumping down from the tree. Now that there were more people crowding around him I felt like I should go too and I never said a word I just watched. I did remember feeling scared because I could have saved him, but I didn't want to.

Thats where it ends...I woke up to my alarm after that.

Well I entered Bubba into the Regis and Kelly beautiful baby contest..tee hee. I'm pretty sure nothing will come of it, but you never know he won't win if I don't enter him. Everyone says hes cute...maybe he'll be cute enough to win;) Even if he doesn't I would be so happy just to see him on the show if they show him. Anyway here is the picture I submitted

he was blowing a kiss.

Thanks for the nudge girl_with_purse I keep meaning to update but yeah well thats been hard. Ok so I'll update now, lol.
Having 4 kids around is hard work...way harder than just 3. My house looks like it ought to be condemned by the city, well maybe not that bad, but its pretty awful and it doesn't meet my standards at all...it will get done...one day. Everyone is adjusting well, Tommy is moving in and all is pretty tame right now. I called Walter to see if he'd come and finally get all his shit out of here by tomorrow, if he doesn't come guess where its going? Yup thats right the trash.hes still got so much crap here its pathetic and I warned him that I would do this. Oh well no biggie it will bring me joy and delight to put it all in trash bags and throw it out:) I applied for cash assistance through welfare so I can pay my rent...ughhhh...I got approved but unfortunately the woman at welfare forgot to have me sign a paperso instead of getting my money today I have to wait until friday or saturday. I kind of need it now but I guess it will be okay for then...just annoying. So now I have to go down there at 12:30 to sign the paper...growl...I had to call dad for a ride, normally I would just take the bus but the baby is sleeping and Noel comes home for 12:30 so yeah dad was the way to go on this one. The welfare lady really got me sort of stressed out when she called so I burnt my bagel I was frying up so now I'm starving too....nice. Tommy came home from work a little while ago because it was slow but he only stayed home for about an hour and he went to his friends house which is fine I need my personal time....thats what I like he goes out but doesn't take advantage of it. I need my time and he needs his so it works out good ya know. Oh I started making a new scarf too...just stupid red heart, but oh well. I haven't made a scarf in a long time, lol, boring and repetitive, lol. Thats okay its in my fave color a nice apple green. Ben has been mouthy lately...little pain in the butt...I don't know why hes been so fresh but he'll stop eventually I guess. I'm also waiting for my mail to come....not like its going to be anything uplifting but whatever I like mail. Speaking of which I got a billyesterday, well not a bill for me, but for Walter. It was the ever dreaded gas bill...lol. I don't have to pay it this time around because it is still under his name but the bill for next month will be different I have to pay it and I don't want another 350.00 bill...that is soooo nuts just to heat my home....fucking loonies at the gas company. Whatever I'll just keep the thermostat as low as possible for as long as possible to keep the bill down. Ok I can't think of anything else right now so I need to go find something to eat before I start bouncing of the walls from hunger, lol.

jeensgrrl @ 2006-01-07T10:36:00

2006-01-07T15:46:39Z

Well it finally happened...I got rid of Wally...totally gone now...ahhhhhhhh. You know when they say "when one dorr closes another door opens?"? it's true. I've told a few of you that I have a son that lives with his dad...I hadn't seen him since he was 18 mo old. He will be six in April...and I finally got to see him...he slept over with his dad...more on that later...last night. He got so big....here is his pic

I'm so excited...tommy had a talk with him about me and he knows I'm his mom....he called me mommy you know...he says he loves me and I got tons of hugs and kisses...he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I cried like a baby because I feel like I missed out on so much with him, but really this is a beginning and I should just go about all this from here on in and not drag the past back in. Tommy wants me back, he says he loves me, but since I am having such shitty trust issues right now I want to move sort of slow, well I don't want to move slow, but my head is telling me to, lol. He is really trying to impress me though, lol. He called me around 12 yesterday and asked me if I was hungry so he bought me lunch and sat and ate with me....he even shared his lunch with little Walter. Noel likes him too...she let him pick her up last night....now thats amazing from the girl who won't let anyone but me pick her up..well maybe she would let auntie...but certainly not anyone else...lol. Tommy really likes the kids...this is a good thing thats starting to happen I think. It seems so normal with Zack here and the peace I'm feeling with myself is som,ething I haven't felt in years. I thuink this is going to complete me. Between us we have a grand total of 5 kids because Tommy has a daughter with his ex...shes 2 her name is Abigail. Anyway...more later....

jeensgrrl @ 2006-01-01T17:15:00

2006-01-01T22:44:23Z

Ok now I'm really fucking confused...I don't know what to do and I don't want to sound pathetic...but I need advice. I trust you guys...lol...I've talked to most of you for awhile....anyhooo...
I had Noels birthday party today and I was in a great mood, as much as they get on my nerves sometimes my family really does brighten my day and they have been extremely supportive of me during all the crap I've been through over the past couple of weeks. After they left Walter came over to see Noel and bring her her present. I was soooooo pissed...livid actually. He came in the house with this awful attitude like I did something offensive to him...which as far as I know I didn't. In fact I've been pretty level headed and not so angry or sad. So we argued for a bit, I was really upset by this time and I needed a hug so I asked for one...even though I'm not much of a lovey dovey physical affectionate person I do NEED a hug from time to time, and not just from the kids. I got my hug but then something weird happened, Walter told me that he hasn't been happy where he is...this from a man who has been putting on a good act if this is how he really feels. He says he misses me and he still loves me, which I have to admit that i still love him too, but on the flip side I don't want to be treated like garbage ever again. You can't help who you love sometimes. He wants me to gather my thoughts and for me to let him know whether or not we should try to work it out and if he should move back in. I don't know what to think. I have been having a lot of fun by myself, I feel much more motivated and less depressed. I like the feeling that I can have who I want over here any time I want and just have a good time without worrying if hes going to like it or not. I like being by myself, but I do miss him in certain ways. I don't want to be a slave to him forever. If I decide to get back with him a lot of things will have to change and he will have to be willing to let them change, if not I can't do it. He can't lie to me either I mean he shouldn't hide his true feelings and or intentions from me and expect our relationship to work. Emotionally I can't afford to let him in and have him crush me and make me feel like shit...I just can't. i've been dealing with this crap way to long and i have been willing to deal with it for that long, bu now that i have a taste of life without him I feel like its better. I've also been cut off from a lot of my friends because of him...a lot of my friends are guys...i just tend to get along much better with men...but if I'm with him i would have to stop feeling like that and go back to before. Its not fair that hes making me make this decision either, he the one that left...didn't he already make the decision for me? I didn't have a say then and I'm almost certain that i won't have a say in the future. I just don't know what to do...should I stay with the familiar or branch out on my own. Either way i don't know how happy I'll be...i can't judge my future on how everything has been for the past wek and a half. I just don't know what to do anymore I'm confused and hurt and it feels like shit worse than him leaving. I just want this to be finalized but I guess I have to "gather" my thoughts. I guess i also can't have someone else make the decision for me, I'm a grown up and I have to do the right thing. i just don't know what the right thing would be...its all a grey area in which I might not like it either way. I just don't want to be down and all depressed and stressed out about it. My thoughts aren't even all back right now anyway. I haven't been myself lately anyway. I keep forgetting things and I'm absent minded and clumsy...i mean WTF...why is that? Ok I'll stop with all of this and you can give me your opinions...I need opinions...I need help in deciding what to do. Eventually I will have to make the decision for myself, I just don't know.

Well happy new years. It is a time for new beginnings!!! I'm glad for a lot of things this year, but mainly that I have grown up enough to know the differnce between someone who cares about me and someone who pretends. I'm also glad that my patience level has gone up and that I'm trying to quit smoking...again, lol. I'm glad I lost 45 pounds last year....but I will be hayy to try again this year for another 25. I'm happy to have a safe home, food, money and everything I need for my family and I to live a comfortable life in our little corner of the world...some don't have those things. I'll be grateful to watch another year go by in my childrens lives...Noel is 4 today, Ben will be 10, and Walter will be 2. The time flies when your having fun, but I am looking foward to this year...the year of new beginnings for me and for many.
Happy Birthday Noel!!!

Save the Drama for your mama....

2005-12-26T17:12:29Z

Ok so heres the deal. i saw Wally on Saturday so he could take Noel to his moms house. We talked....he was seeing someone else. I knew it...but he lied at first until I told him that it wouldn't matter if he told me the truth because we weren't getting back together. So he told me...it was sort of pathetic because I know the girl...not well but I met her when I went to dinner with him one night, she seems nice. I told him that if he was happy then he should not worry about me...god I was being selfless, lol. I'm mad that he lied to me though...its like you know someone for 5 years and you think you know them...I guess not. He told me that he would take care of therent for me until I can do it on my own and that I will let him see the kids whenever he wants. He can even come over here and spend time with them I really don't care...I am so nice. I also told him that if he doesn't pay the rent and get everything I need for the kid I'd nail him for child support ...hard. I'm not going to play any games with him you know. If he wanted to leave so bad then hes going to at least do what I need him to do for the kids. Whatever its just time to move on in fact its probably been time to move on for awhile now. I have to get myself back to where I was before I met him and have fun again. its time to take care of myself...although thats kind of hard, lol. I have been lonely the past couple of days even though my sister stayed with me overnight on christmas eve. I'm still kind of lonely...I probably will be that way for a little while. I'm trying to go through everything and get rid of it so I don't have to be remined of all the bullshit that I've been about for the past 5 years you know. I'll write more later..right now I'm starving...lol...time to chow:)

2005-12-23T14:00:25Z

well myspace is still down...I am so addicted to that site. so I figured I would come and update while I'm waiting. I can't beleive the crochet community closed...how shitty. Oh well not much I can do about it...although maybe I'll atart my own, lol. Its almost Christmas....I hope everyone is done their shopping...no one deserves to brave crowds on Christmas Eve. I am going to my neighbors house for Christmas Eve. She really wants me to go and I'm not going to Wally's moms house so I might as well. I still haven't heard anything from him. I have to call him today though because I need diapers and such and I have no money right now:(. I have to figure out a way to pay my rent too...but it will come to me, I'm not trying to think about that much until after Christmas. I don't need anymore stress over that too on top of the holidays.

jeensgrrl @ 2005-12-22T19:11:00

2005-12-23T00:21:04Z

Well he lied about the phone...he called me after work and I asked him why he had a new number...he goes on to say that it is the same phone number and I'm just crazy. I say "well why is it showing up a different number on the caller id?" Oh yeah I didn't want to tell you but I did change it..WTF. Why would he lie to me about something so simple. So I asked why he changed it and he said "because he felt like it, no real reason" For some reason after he said that I smelled bullshit so bad it was stinging my nose. So I was angry and I just ignored him. About an hour after him coming home he told me he was leaving because he didn't feel welcome...bah...good whatever. In the meantime while hes getting ready to leave the UPS man come to the door and braings me a package. I know the guy so I started talking to him for a about a minute. By the time the UPS guy left Wally snuck out and left without even saying goodbye...ass. I don't care that he didn't say bye to me, but he could have said something to the kids..the dick. Then when I opened the package from UPS I discovered it was Wally's Christmas present...not anymore...now I have a cute little bonsai tree to call my very own, lol. Oh and he took his clothes too and his undies, lol...I checked so I would know if he was coming home or not, lol. I guess hes not at least not for awhile and then its going to be debateable whether I let him back in since he doesn't have the keys...LMAO. As you can probably tell I'm not upset at all about this in fact it feels good really. I don't have to worry about him anymore and his stupidity...Free free at last. So yeah the going away party starts at 9...BYOB...lol...just kidding.

2005-12-22T16:58:47Z

Yeah shit has now hit the fan over here. The asshole changed his cell number on me...i think thats why he left for work early last night..like almost 2 hours early. He hasn't called me today...oh well no big loss, but you would think since he know this shit is in the gutter he would at least do something to mend it. Whatever i can do better anyhow. I don't need all this stress on top of the stress I already have. I notice it is affecting my appetite and sleep though, which sucks. I'm not hungry..but I am its weird and sleep is just about non existant...gee just what I wanted for christmas...stress and a asshole bf...thanks santa...grumble.

I fixed the old vaccum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wally said he had looked at it and there wan't anything else he could do....he didn't look at it closely enough, the hoses were all clogged up damn it, so I uncloggd them and now it works fine. I swear he has no brain. I cancelled my order for the new one. I am so glad I looked at it, "Nothing gets done right if you don't do it yourself" Oh and is anyone having trouble with their gmail accounts? When i go to my account page it just says "loading" and never loads.

It would be very nice if walter would make up his mind on how he would like me to put him to bed. Sometimes he likes rocking together and a song, other times just put him down and leave him, then again sometimes (like tonight) he can't make up his mind, so for an hour I've had a cranky baby that doesn't know what to do with himself. I finally got him to bed...I think 7 PM is a great bedtime, 6 is early, but he does like to go to bed then though sometimes. I also hope he wakes up bright and early tomorrow because I have some things to do with my parents, they are coming to get me at around 8AM or so. I;m lucky if I'm dressed by then on a typical day. I am wondering when Noel's eyeglasses are going to be here...they said 4-6 weeks, because I'm on state insurance, so I'm hoping by next week. For her birthday would be nice, I can't beleive she is going to be four on January 1st. I'm am glad though, She doesn't throw many temper tantrums anymore and she is better at communicating her needs although she still doesn't have the speech that she should. Speech therapy finally started for her though last week and I notice that she is trying to say more and a few things are a little clearer than before. Today was soooooooooo cold, 20 degrees was the high and right now it is only 19.....brrrrrrrrr. I really hate the cold. I would love to move to a place that offered warm weather all year round without it being too hot. I would just like to wear jeans and shortsleeves all the time without a need for a jacket. Only 11 more days until Christmas, and only 10 more days until I get to see what Wally's mom and dad got me:D Usually they buy my some really crappy gift, but they do give out lots of cash too...which is nice. And I'll even go out on the limb and say that the gifts they give aren't really crappy, just very practical, or corny. For example I would not be surprised to see a Chia Pet or the clapper, or a set of dishes under the tree.
