Problem

I seem to be having a problem with my husband allowing me to post on here. Now don't think he won't let me, or that he's controlling (please.... I'm in control). He just doesn't want our personal business out there for everyone to read. I've told him over and over again that there is nothing on here to make him look bad. No matter how I reassure him, He just doesn't follow. He sits and plays his Xbox most of the time, when he's not helping me do something. I just don't know anymore. I guess this lack of followers makes me feel like "what's the point?"....

Addicted to Pinterest!!!

My husband says I have a problem. He says I cheat on him every chance I get. He acts like I'm the only one.... I mean really like his video games aren't his mistress, but to accuse me of being... I can't even say it. Whoo let me breathe a little and try again. (Several deep breathes at the end of which I feel slightly dizzy) Ok maybe I shouldn't have hyperventilated, but he says I'm addicted to Pinterest. Like this is even a possibility. I have told him I can quit anytime I want to, I just don't want to. Now there is this awesome party on Pinterest!!! Where does he think all the neat ideas and recipes and patterns come from? I'm not a magician. I barely have enough time to deal with everyone and everything in one day AND he wants me to be his entertainment, company, game partner, and lover. Ok I know this is all what wives are expected to do. BUT most wives at least get time off when the men go to work. Mine got laid off and is still in the "Vacation" stage. If he doesn't find a job soon I may kill him so I have time to do the things I need to.
         Sorry. I needed to vent a little about him. Sooooo Pinterest is awesome. I don't know why I resisted so long getting on there. I have found lost of stuff to keep me busy(if he'll let me). And many, many things for the monkey. I have already completed 4 hats and the dreaded slippers (more about those tomorrow).
   Oh hi! I guess I lost focus and drifted into the other world and started pinning. I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM!!!! How can it be a problem when there so much there for me to see!!! Ok ok I will finished this post, close the computer and crochet something. I promise.  No really I PROMISE!!!

Until next time, still trying to quit smoking by crafting.... Wish me luck!!!

And now for something completely different...

Ok so I'm going to do this blog a little differently. I am still out of work and trying to quit smoking(the husband and I want kids....) So I have taken to crocheting and crafting/sewing to keep me sane. I have known how to crochet for a quite a few years and have made lots of stuff. I have seen blogs with cool things on them and would like to get some of the patterns I have out there for everyone to use. I also just found Pinterest and LOVE IT!!!!! I never knew there was such a great place to find EVERYTHING...

   Ok, So I have just finished a poncho and hat for my step-daughter who is 2(almost 3). She will be further referred to as "The Monkey". The Monkey loved the poncho and hat so much she would not take them off.

The Pattern for the poncho is the Martha Stewart coming home poncho. I Have made this pattern(and are currently making one for my self) several times. Please note, the edging instructions are slightly flawed so follow the diagram.... The "Jayde's hat, I found at vallieskids. This is an excellent blog!!! I have to give credit where it is due and the hat pattern is hers...

Well that's that for today. I'm making a pair of slippers next and hope they work out....   Until next time hooking is better than smoking!!!

Monkey Weekend!!!!

It's finally monkey weekend again!!!  This is the awesomeness that occurs everyother weekend when my husband's 2 year old daughter visits. May I say these are the bestest weekends I know.

The only downfall I see is that we are let down and hurt everytime she goes home. We are currently going round and round with her mother so no further details there... I think we are vastly lucky because we got her first steps, her first birthday, her first christmas, and her first dog.(well cash is like a stuffed toy but...) For a father who doesn't even have standard time share, these are huge mile-stones to have. My husband and I have little to look forward to(well cod:mw3 but that doesn't count) except monkey weekends. When my little brenana(no not a typo) comes running up the drive-way. I know my family loves this child more than life and just cause she's my step, they treat her no different than blood.

Just think about it...

Ok. So picture me sitting on the edge of my bed with a laptop on a tv table writing this. It could explain alot....

First and fore most, I want all of you to understand. My husband and I live with HIS mother and step-father. Don't get me wrong I love my in-laws, but they are not my parents. I am not used to the ways of life with this new family. I have gotten my feelings hurt, been upset, and cried more times in the last 6 months than I have in my whole life. It's like every day is a new challenge. I am wife number 3 to my husband. Even though I've known him since middle school. I am very happy in my marriage, I just wonder if this would be easier if we were alone.

Alone.ALONE...

What a concept. Alone. I don't know if that is actually possible in this economy. When my husband and I started seeing each other, I was living alone and working full time. So was he.  I had just bought a new car and was good all by myself. So was he. So was he. I had just gotten over a bad relationship. So had he. Then the bottom fell out and I was down-sized and living on unemployment. So was he. Hmmm. Kinda sounds like we were in the same place, huh?!? Now we are married, he works a low scale union job, I'm unemployed(still), and we do what he have to to pay bills, child support, and take care of his 2 year daughter. We literally have about $125 a month after the bills.

Enough. I will not do this senseless drivel a moment longer. Even if no one is reading this, I refuse to have a pity party. I think I need to go have a little cake or something. All this low carb has gotten to me...

See y'all later! Off to Cake Wrecks, for some much needed appetite suppressant!!!

ANGRY!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?

URGHGHGH!!!!!!! I am so ANGRY!!! I wrote an entire post about this awful movie I was watching. And Blogger made me loose it!!!! I was frickin' eloquent and this pos program made me lose it. I'm sorry even though I know no one follows this blog. But I have no idea where the post went other than this....
"An adaption of "The Wizard of Oz" that tries to capture the essence of the African American experience."

This is the other thing that was listed on the page when I tried to post. And it was the one thing that I didn't even write. So there was a huge fight with the hubby yesterday when he got home from work. It's probably in the best interest if my marriage that the post was lost, venting as it was... I don't think it was 100% the best thing to do. Especially since he specifically asked me not to put any thing personal on here, Yeah like that's gonna happen....

OK OK I guess since I may want to stay married for another 6 months, I'll leave the fight from yesterday off here. So how bout the Jaguars last night. They actually played like a real team and did something other than losing. Glad to see fellow EHS alum Rashean Mathis get on it. Even though my husband(who went to Scandleweed) says that he's too scared to wrap up on the guys that are too big for him. Hmmm I'd like to think that hubby is just jealous.... but he's a member of Steeler Nation.

What do you expect? After all, these are the Adventures of a (kinda)Newly-Wed....

Wow it's been THAT long???!?!

Ok ok. I know it's been over 6 months since my last post. And since I have such a huge following, everyone really missed me. Well guess what? I had a job. I got the call to start a few days after the wedding. And I have already been laid off.... I know what crap???!?
     Anywho....

I guess I should let everyone know that there's more to come and I will be on (hopefully) daily. Please remember that I have been married for 6 months. This means we're out of the uh oh phase and into the "we don't see each other the same way or enough" phase. It's not like we haven't known each other for about oh, 20 YEARS. But ladies, I know oyu know how men are.... The MAN, that needs a mother.
 Stick around cause I guarantee the best is yet to come.*

* We are trying to have children......
