Ok I know...I'm a slack ass!!!

Ok I know that I am a total, complete slack ass, but I have had SOOOOO much going on in my life. From my husband's affair with a 17 year old girl, to moving out into MY OWN apartment, changing jobs, and generally having my life turned upside down and then shooken up, I have just been a tad bit busy. I have still been trying to do a quite a bit of knitting, crocheting and stuff like that, but I don't know about FINISHING all of the projects that I have been starting. I can definately say that I finished a crocheted scarf and a hat...other than that, I just have a WHOLE LOT of things that I have started...and not really done much with. I have been trying to learn a bit more about the whole crochet thing. I learned the basics of it when I was like 11 or 12 from my mom and made a couple half asses afghans that I probably NEVER finished, but now I'd like to perfect the art of it. For some reason, I have trouble making a straight edge on the sides....I am not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, but in general, it doesn't look bad to the untrained eye, but *I* know that it's kinda jacked up. I have still been trying to make it to my weekly knitting meetings. I've missed a few, but I still go as often as my slack ass, soon to be ex will allow since he only likes to watch the kids for me when I'm at work....God FORBID I actually have a little time to myself. I have managed to make a little time to hang out with a new male friend of mine. He's a very sweet guy and he has made this whole fiasco with Josh a lot easier to deal with since I have someone HERE in COLORADO that I can actually talk to and hang out with and makes me smile. It's DEFINATLY something that is MUCH NEEDED for me these days.
Well, I just wanted to catch everyone up on what is going on in my crazy hectic, ever-changing life and I will be updating MUCH MORE OFTEN ( I PROMISE) about my knitting. Right now I am unable to upload new pics to my computer from my camera because my USB cable shit the bed. I have another one on the way and it should be here soon and once it does, I'll be able to show some pictures of my new stuff...my new FINISHED STUFF, ya hear that AMBER....FINISH YOUR PROJECTS DAMMIT!!! Yes, I've resorted to talking to myself in my blog...scary. Anyhow, peace and love to everyone.
