If I owe anyone any ratings I'm working on it. I've been having a hell of a time lately and I'm just now catching up and getting enough free time to catch up on things.

So...I did finally get a job. Started working as a Caseworker at a foster home program. It's a tough, pretty much thankless job. I get cussed out on a daily basis and most of my time is spent babysitting people and walking them through every little step that's going to classify them fit to get their kids back. Personally, I don't think most of them should still be breathing...BUT I gotta do my job right? Anyhoo, I'm taking a break for a while. I've fulfilled my final commitments and I'm just TOO tired at the end of the day to work on the 5 or so WIP's I got going on. I'll be back someday, when my work schedule gets A LOT less demanding and when I can keep my eyes open past 8pm. Until then, farewell and Have fun swapping! :-D

I live at home with my mom, cousin, sister, grandma, my adopted aunt and with my beloved Chihuahua. She is the sunshine of my life and her name is 'Mostly' and yes I'm serious that is her given name. LOL She's 8 years old now, I'm hoping she'll live to be about 150, because I truly can not imagine life without her. Other than My Mo specifically, I'm a HUGE dog fan. I love them more than most human beings. Other than dogs I love pretty much all animals. My top faves are elephants, giraffes, lions, bunnies, and octopii.

Knitting and Crochet. Anything that has to do with a needle and thread. I just started trying cross-stitching. I'm a yarn ADDICT. Mostly cheap acrylic stuff, but I get things done. LOL Right now I'm trying out amigurumi. This should take a while. LOL I'm just recently getting into paper crafts. I made a scrapbook for a friend's semester abroad in Argentina and it was pretty awesome if I say so myself. lol

Comedies, Horror, and Mystery/Suspense. I'm a HUGE Will Ferrell fan, Adam Sandler, Nick Swardson, Steve Carrell, even Jon Heder. They all crack me up. My latest OBSESSION is the movie Blades of Glory. TOO HILARIOUS!

My favorite author right now is Lisa Gardner. I love what I call "supermarket reads" those paperbacks that you pick up in the checkout line or at the Newsstand on the way to a long bus ride. Mystery/Suspense, I prefer any story that has to do with murder, law enforcement, serial killers etc.

I LIVE on television. My tv is on from the moment I wake up til a few minutes after I fall asleep. lol

I LOVE science shows. I'm a big dork that way. Forensics shows, anything having to do with crime, Survivorman, Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, anything on the National Geographic Channel.

Other than that I love South Park, Family Guy, PRISON BREAK!! LOVE IT! LOL, um...reality shows...you just GOTTA watch! LOL

I know A LOT of people say they listen to everything...but I LITERALLY do.

Hit random play on my Ipod and you'll find Cyndi Lauper, Chris Brown, Metallica, Eric Clapton, James Blunt, 30 Seconds to Mars, Papa Roach, Orgy, Savage Garden/Darren Hayes, Clay Aiken, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, Stevie Wonder, Fallout Boy...etc. I'm a BIG 80's music fan also.

I've noticed that a large number of the swaps on here require color, so let's talk about that.

My favorite color of all time is Purple, anything and everything that I can have purple. My newest favorite is green. I have a mint green chocolate cell phone which by accident matches my comforter, which matches one of my old gameboys, which matches my favorite nail polish...etc. lol I'm a big fan of citrus colors now in the summer, so the lime, lemon and orange colors. I really like the pink watermelon color. I love pairing really bright colors with really dark colors when I knit or crochet. For yarn, my favorite colors are variegated, but I also love bold and bright colors. Anything will do though. I just look at yarn in the store and get all excited. lol
