Earthquake!

What I learned in school about earthquakes:

Curl up next to the wall and cover you head.

Pray that nothing falls on you.

Wait until your teacher tells to get up.

Go about your business.

Nothing prepared me for the earthquake today. I was sitting on the floor in my room, prepping my poster for the wall, when all of the sudden, the ground started to shake and Momma's china started clinking.

We freaked out.

She called Daddy, and after a few minutes, hung up, then turned on the TV.

(We watch CBS, BTW)

Scott Pelly came on and said that there's been an earthquake... it was classified as 5.9.

COOL!!!!!!

I honestly, never thought that there would be an earthquake here in NC. WOW.

So, after struggling to find CNN (It's NOT 205 or 202 on ours, it's 200. Figures.), I got on Facebook to see my friends' reactions.

I had three notifacations. Two on a "Happy Birthday" message I left a good friend, and a friend request. Jennifer Lawrence friended me!!!!!!

(Cue cricket noises)

She's an actress, mostly Indie movies. She's now currently filming the film adaption of my all-time favorite books, The Hunger Games, in Concord, NC, just less than an hour away from where I live! EEEEKKKK!!!!!

Fan shrieking aside, I organized my yarn stash yesterday. I sorted through lots of acrylic, and threw together what I couldn't/didn't want. I also wound up some yarn with my winder, and I have a blanket planned for after I finish my current blanket. =)

I have one picture of that hexagon blanket, and it's not very good, but here it is anyways:

I've been curling up with it, watching the BBC America channel, watching Top Gear, a new fave show.

Movie, Pizza & Blanket... Best Combo

This isn't  avery good picture, but it's a rich, dark green & red.

And this is the movie::::

We've been watching the Harry Potter series since I finished reading the books, and we're now on Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Part 2 comes out on the 15th.

Well, I better go.

Talk to you later.

My NEW Lamp

I finally finished my mystery project last week!

A cover for my new lampp!!

I think it looks great.

That's what the new thread was for. I also dug out some old 'bead jewels' that I used to collect.

And I'm working on a new project, too. It's being made with cotton yarn, and I believe that I'm out of yarn for the rest of the project...

ORDERING TIIIIIMEEEE!!!!

Today, Daddy & I watched some "Mystery Science Theater 3000" on Netflix. IT's HILARIOUS. I'm wondering why they took it off air. We watched the one when they did the commentary on the 'horror' movie called "The Killer Shrews". HILARIOUS.

Well, I better go dig out $20 and order some yarn. =)

Books & Gloves

As promised, here is the picture of the crochet books I got for Christmas...

I took a break from the dress 'cause I've obcessed with making gloves!

Here are some old pictures I found while cleaning off my desk...

And also found this! These are the 3D Glasses that I wore when Daddy & I went and saw VDT!

Anyway, last night, Momma and Daddy were talking on the phone about a trip....

WE ARE GOING TO D.C.!

I've been through D.C., but I've never accually been sightseeing! We're going to the Smithsonian Museums!!! EEK!!!

And I learned something from my Crochet Today! magazine...
There's a crochet coral reef exabit in the Natural History Museum! I showed the pictures to Momma & Daddy, and they're excited!!! Ekkk!

And we may just be doing it for my 13th B-day!! January 14! Yes, I'm 13! Ha ha! Besides the week we spent in Disney, this will probably be the BEST birthday!!! Yayy!!!!

The Holidays Come Earlier Every Year....

It's not like I'm complaining or anything. It's just the year that flies by. 2009 came by and went like a fast car. 2010 came and went like a snail on a rocket. Funny, huh? lol.

The Holiday Market came to the local city, so Momma, my aunt, and I piled into the van and headed for it! I'll show you what we bought later. Anyway, Momma has been in DIRE need of the Holiday spirit, so this worked! BY the way, I also bought Taylor Swift's Christmas album for $9! Awesome!

And I was watching TV with my mom, and a movie trailer came on. I screamed and yelled! IT was the first EVER VDT TV TRAILER!!!!!!!!! I hopped up and down and all around- but then I wished that I didn't. My head felt like a nest of hornets. I took some medicence and I'm better now, thanks.

Andddddd..... I've also been working on my latest blanket, which might take a looooooooong time to finish, since it's full of odd-color motifs, but I'll work on it from time-to-time.

And, no, I STILL can't find that darn pink yarn! I'm so mad! I really want to make that Santa head! Well, that's the latest adventures in Cate-Land. Wish ya were here! lol. =)

My Friday Nite

Well, I was bored, so I tried to teach myself knitting!

Yepp!

One of my many attempts! I think it's pretty good, acually!

 I also made two washcloths for my teachers! I love how they turned out!!!!

Well, Miss Congeniality 2 is on, so here we go!
 I love Sandra Bullock!

I finally Have it!

Thanks to a lot of time researching websites, I have found the VDT trailer! It's so awesome!!!!
