Indeed.
My husband worked his ass off this month and was lucky enough to receive a bonus check for it. Pretty impressive considering the fact that I harass him daily while at work via Yahoo Messenger. We had this little exchange this afternoon:
Josh: 371.19
Me: huh?
Josh: My bonus amount
Me: WOOO HOOO! So you did get it!
Josh: Yea Yay Yay
Me: That’s great.
Josh: I’m happy…. I’m buying an xbox
Me: WHAT? lol. we’re supposed to be saving and paying off our debts, silly!
Josh: Yes but I want an xbox
Me: I know but… ghilghdlsgnlsd;heruia;hgdasl;
Josh: Asl? Haha 26 m ky
Me: LOL didn’t even realize I put that.
Me: I’m 22/f/ky r u HORNEE?
Josh: Yes I am… I am buying an xbox though
And there you have it. No time to be HORNEE when you have money burning a hole in your pocket and shiny new Xbox’s out there as far as the eye can see.

Last week was great. But now the real world calls.
It was mine and Josh’s vacation. No work, no school for Dylan, and pretty much no responsibilities for a change! I almost didn’t know what to do with myself!
Aside from being complete lazy slobs and sitting around playing Playstation all day, I managed to find time to pick up a new hobby.
Crocheting, player!
This is going to be a granny square blanket for Dylan – in his school colors of course! I’m on square #8 right now (I think, hell I have a stack already and I’m not sure). Dare I say I *think* I’ve pretty much mastered the granny square now. I like them. Which is good, because according to my measurements, 10 squares wide by 12 squares tall = 120 FREAKING SQUARES. Damn. Maybe I’ll have it completed by the time he’s in high school. But then these wouldn’t be his school colors anymore. DOUBLE DAMN.
I told Josh I needed to teach him how to crochet these things so we could get it done in half the time. He didn’t much like the idea.
I really enjoy crocheting so far. Now that I know how to knit AND crochet (sort of), I can’t decide which I like better. The stitches are so different yet both are equally awesome.
For those of you that do both, which do you prefer and why?
For those of you that have absolutely no interest in my old lady hobbies, what is something new that you’ve learned to do lately?
