super cute right!? but im still a little new to knitting, so following a pattern is a little foreign to me. AND ive had issues with using 2 colors in the past so im a little aprehensive. We'll see though - im anxious to get home so i can work out, then knit! Cant take me more than an evening to knock it out.
Second - I see that you're from here/there/everywhere - and that you are going to see the Whigs and DC this Wednesday? Im not a name dropper really (dont know that many people anyway!) but I am really good friends with DC, and it's super cute to see other people who are fans of theirs! I actually went to high school with all of them, and Brant (bassist) was my hs sweetheart. I remember when he got his first bass guitar!!! So anyhow, super cool to see how they like, have fans!
Sorry for the double post, but I somehow missed this one. Thanks for the pattern, I'll give it a looksee. Also, for anyone aspiring to knit, check out www.knittinghelp.com/ I've referred to the site frequently when getting stuck and it's a lot more helpful than just reading an explanation (or dragging your project to the local yarn store which, for me, is a good 12 miles away).
And I absolutely LOVE Dead Confederate. I've seen them a couple of times in the past year and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's set. Sweet connection, there!
in fact, one of them is so fluffy, and a pretty pale green, it looks like a caterpillar crown.
This made me lol! Karma for attempting to make these headbands and letting us know! I've been trying to learn to crochet for a while now (more like I've tried and given up a few times) but I'm determined to actually learn how and stick with it. So I gave major props to anyone that has the time and patience and knit or crochet
Let us know how it turns out!
Thanks for the Karma!!! I will let you guys know. Im really pumped to make them work. ...in fact, i got home last night and totally ditched on my workout so I could immediately start knitting... i may do it again tonight . Im so happy when I craft!!!

Well have fun tomorrow! As an added bonus - if you havent seen the Whigs before - make sure to make it for their part of the show too. I've seen them about a jillion times, and they freakin ROCK. They opened up for Band of Horses this past new years eve here in Atlanta - INSANITY.

I will, for sure. I've seen The Whigs a few times and really enjoy them as well. I'm going to be seeing DC at SXSW in a few weeks, too. Gah, I hope they don't start thinking I'm a groupie. LOL.
^^^ha! a "groupie" that's awesome. I am so jealous of you going to SXSW. I have family in Austin and somehow I still can't manage to get over there for that. Maybe next year.

My new bathing suit showed up in the mail today! It sort of fits. I think it does. I stood in front of the mirror for a long time debating. It's quite skimpy but it's also pretty tight so I think it should stay in place well enough. Unfortunately the tightness is making me look sort of odd. But I think it'll be okay. From the front it looks amazing....from the side it's sort of flattening my boobs so I look smaller than I already am...and from the back it's sort of giving me love handles. Sooo...plan of action: always face everybody head on.
If you're going to feel awkward whenever you put it on - or never end up actually wearing it, then it'd be a waste of money. I order stuff online all the time - 95% of my closet was bought online - and I've learned this lesson the hard (and expensive) way.
So all you lovely ladies have fine taste in fashion and great ideas that i will def. use for my 1st trip to roo BUT i'm not sure I would want to bring new clothers or anything I love too much for fear of it getting ruined. Maybe i'm wrong maybe things aren't as dirty as i'm imagining...So yeah just looking for thoughts on this
No you really won't ruin any clothes unless you are ultra careless..... I have 2 brand new dresses from Soul-Flower that I plan on wearing this year. They cost $20 each so really if they did get ruined, I wouldn't cry over it..... Just throw them in the laundry and you should be good to go
Now I want to knit AND spend lots of money! I have made a few scarves in the past, but I really think I am going to try to make some of those headbands... they are too cute.
And we haven't been mentioning night-time wear much in here... I buy what I call "fuzzy pants" from Victoria's Secret when they are on sale.
Like these are $29, but there is usually a sale or coupon floating around. I must have these pants in 5 different colors.
They are great for when it gets a bit chilly at night, and perfect for when you are just hanging out at camp.
And this is a fantastic tip that I learned my very first year... Keep one pair of extremely comfy pants and one really comfy top in a ziploc bag until the end of the weekend. Nothing feels better on the drive home than some clean, dry clothes.
^^^good point on the nighttime clothes Dani! definitely have a couple pairs of pants and a good hoodie for nighttime. it gets chilly fo' sho'.
On the KNITTING front - I completed what I think is a waaaaay cute headband last night. I didnt take a pic yet, but I'll take one and post it tonight so you ladies can give me your feedback. I think I'd like to make a couple more and send them to a couple "testers" to let me know if I can make any improvements I also began work on another... Im attempting a basic pattern that I dont want to give away yet, but I really think you guys will totally dig it. If it works out - I'll be so excited!
and lastely another DRESS note - I got my $15 jersey dress from Old Navy in the mail the other day. WAY cute. Good jersey material, not flimsy at all. Pretty solid construction. Highly recommend them, especially for $15. Lots left in the "tall" and "petite" sizes, the regular sizes in M, and L are mostly out. If you need a size reference, Im 5'2'' and (currently, but not for long!) about 140 lb. and I fit into a regular Med.

Ladies! I work at Old Navy, as most of you know, and next weekend is our friends and family event! 30% off at ON, Gap and Banana Republic! You can use them online too! Of course, I must share them with you girls! PM your email addresses if you want a coupon! Its a really awesome deal, hah. And we have a ton of cute dresses in.
OMG ladies I need some help. So I lost my job a couple months ago, and hence lost my insurance. I went to the Pharmacy yesterday to pick up my BC refill for the first time with no insurance, and it was $60! I still can't believe it was that much, and I definitely can't afford that every month when I'm living on unemployment. Do you guys know if prescriptions like this can be cheaper at different Pharmacies? (I go to Target now) Or is there a BC out there that I could change to that would be cheaper? (I'm on the Nuva Ring now) I can't afford to pay that much, but I also can't afford to get pregnant! Arg! I'm so frustrated.
yea I had to do that when I lost my job awhile ago...planned parenthood or any local clinic. It kinda sucks but not as much as paying that amount. I know the clinics by my old house ould give you BC for the whole year so it was nice to only have to go once a year.
Now I want to knit AND spend lots of money! I have made a few scarves in the past, but I really think I am going to try to make some of those headbands... they are too cute.

I love those pants...I have 2 pair. Definetly good for the rid home and at night. First year I went to Roo I didnt bring any pants and froze. Rookie Mistake

^Do y'all have to buy your lounge pants from VS a size too big? I do b/c everytime I buy them to fit and wash them one time they come out looking like high waters. It's made me kinda iffy about buying pants from there.

I feel your pain. I'm on Seasonique. I have to be on BC for medical reasons, and I have hormone-induced migraines, so we try for me to have as few periods as possible. That part's nice. Not so nice: got it filled last month after my samples ran out, and it was just under $200. That's for three months, but dang!
^^^ yeah clairity - Im on Nuva too - I pay $50/month and that's WITH health insurance. Fortunately I have a medical flex account so i reserve that money pre-tax, but there is no substitute for the incredible little ring... I'd go with what the other girls say and try PP, or some other BC in pill form.

^^^ha! a "groupie" that's awesome. I am so jealous of you going to SXSW. I have family in Austin and somehow I still can't manage to get over there for that. Maybe next year.
Well, I ended up skipping the show in favor of a second show with Lucinda Williams last night and I'm not regretting my decision since I'll see DC in Austin in a few weeks.

I haven't been to a planned parenthood location, but I do have some advice for your BC situation...if you do decide to go the public clinic route, take the time to research the ones in your area. Where I live, the closest one to me is generally used by the, uhh....questionable characters(?). But the one in the next county over is very clean, not crowded, and most of the women there are actually students who are either too old, or not lucky enough to still have mom and dad's insurance. Also, I know someone mentioned this earlier, and I know Nuva Ring is different from the pill but if it were possible to switch, the generic version of OrthoTriCyclen(sp?) should run your about $30. And of course you already know about condoms so we don't need to go there I hope all goes well for you, and stay safe! (and not sperminated!)
