HSM 3

We just got back from seeing with Danielle, High School Musical 3: Senior Year at the one dollar theatre. It was a good movie, I have to admit. :) I really enjoyed seeing the conclusion of the national phenomenen. At first I really didn't want to see it at all, and wasn't planning on it, but the more I heard about I started feeling, "Okay...it's the LAST one! I have to see it...at least once." Even Mum admitted to wanting to see it. So Danielle set up a day and time for us to go and see it. It was 50 cent bucket of popcorn day where you bring your own container (up to 3 gallons!) and you get it filled for only fifty cents!! And free refills. LOL So we were giddy and excited to see it. I don't at all approve of what most of the celebrities staring in the movie do and/or stand for but the movie was really good. And hey, I only spent a dollar! There are a few 'iffy' moments in the movie involving the nasty prima donna, Sharpay, but overall it was really good. The choreography was better than the first two (especially the second one!) and I did like the songs. :) I was really hoping it wouldn't be really cheesy/corny as the second one was and it wasn't. It's just a 'one time' thing but I did enjoy watching it. Especially with two of my closest friends. There were many 'Awwww' moments and sighing and bursts of laughter. It's a good thing there were only about six other people in the theater. :)

So all in all it was a great time with Sara and a wonderful friend. A memory made. :)

One more thing to say: Michaela, if you're reading this, I know I'm a hypocrite since I said I was 'so done with the High School Musical stuff.' :)

Chaos to...Restful!

Ok...the chaos is dying down a little bit...couldn't resist posting these...the color is actually called "restful"...and I love it! Now I can't wait until my kitchen is back together again and I can do what I need to do...cook and bake!

Below is what is by my rocking chair right now...talk about soothing! And yes....that is the beginning of the Dr. Who scarf...the colors actually dont' look too bad so far! I think it will be the longest scarf in history!

Here is a picture of the origional scarf worn by the actor who played Dr. Who...not sure what season this is from, but I love the story behind it...from what I understand, they needed a scarf for the show, so contracted with a woman to knit one...as they kept sending her yarn, she simply kept knitting...and the scarf became VERY long...so they incorporated it into the show. I hope our friend likes it when it is done! You can see in the above photo that I've just started...purple, camel and now bronze...after this is 'mustard'...definitely 70's colors! Back to my crocheting...with the kitchen torn apart, and dinner in the crockpot...the little's want to watch Narnia tonight, so hopefully I'll get a good bit done. ~Sue~

Chaos and crochet....

My home is in a slight state of chaos right now...it happened suddenly, when my husband, who is on vacation this week, decided to list his car on Craig's list...just to see if it was the Lord's will to sell it right now...well, it sold the next day within just a couple of hours after the initial phone call...it was gone....but he had to stop what he was doing to show it and transfer the title over...which was priming my kitchen to paint it. So...everything that was in there is in the diningroom and there are drop cloths everywhere. (does my writing sound a little chaotic as well?!)

What does this chaos have to do with crocheting...it calms my soul. The feel of my wooden hook, the yarn and the repetitive motion is very, very soothing to me right now...so, until my home is back to normal and less chaotic....I think I will just hang out with my children, read, watch movies and crochet...while watching my 6 month old nephew tomorrow and getting ready for Ronnie's birthday and his party on Sunday....if there are no new posts from me until after Sunday....you'll know why! LOL I'm sure Meghan and Sara will fill in with lots of posts between now and then. Next week, I'd like to share the crochet project I'm currently working on...a "Dr. Who" scarf...should be pretty cool when it is finished. Off to crochet a little bit...~Sue~

I am...

FOR TODAY- Tuesday, January 13th, 2009



Outside my window... the sun is up, the wind is blowing the tire swings, snow is on the ground, blinding me when I look out... :o)



I am thinking... that I need to finish a biographical report



I am thankful for... my fuzzy bathrobe, and God's faithfulness

From the kitchen... Well, my dad is re-painting it, so for now it is covered in dropclothes and paint cans.



I am wearing... gray leggings, a denim skirt, a pink t-shirt and my Aeropostale hoodie



I am creating... a baby afghan... pray it turns out better than my last one!



I am going... to the Maxi Saver w/ a dear friend to see High School Musical III: Senior Year



I am reading... The Kellyhorns by Barbara Cooney



I am hoping... that the movie I am going to see today won't be a big waste of money



I am hearing... Ronnie and Anna playing Star Wars as Anakin and Padme



Around the house... shoes lined up by the front door, Mum crocheting, Meghan making her bed, me still in mine
