X's Dragon

X was asking me to make him a dinosaur.  Well I searched for one and actually found a cool dragon that I liked even better.  X said he would actually like a dragon better.  He's really into How to Train Your Dragon, the movie, the books and the toys.  So I found a pattern through Ravelry, here it is.  I used some yarn I already had on hand and for the eyes I used a bracelet that I had that got broken.

Supernatural - Like a Virgin

I was looking forward to watching this episode a week earlier.  I liked the episode.

Dean & Bobby are waiting for Sam to wake up.  Apparently he hadn't woken up and they were worried.  But same does wake up and he doesn't remember anything.  The last thing he remembers is being Lucifer's meat suit and falling in the cage.  So Dean just tells him that he's been gone for 1.5 years and leaves it at that.  Of course Sam has questions for him.  Bobby is nervous around Sam because he tried killing him so he won't really talk to him.  Dean & Bobby are going on a hunting job and Sam wants to go so Bobby hangs back.  Turns out something is kidnapping virgin girls.  They figure out that it is a Dragon once one of the girls doesn't get taken because she was wearing a purity ring but really wasn't a virgin.  So that's how they get a description.  Dean calls Bobby and he sends him to a woman to find out how to kill the Dragon.  While Dean is gone, Sam calls on Castiel and kind of tricks him into telling him everything.  So now Sam knows.  Dean finds the woman and turns out she has a romantic past with Bobby.  She tells him that to kill a dragon you need a special blade forged from dragon's blood.  She happens to have one in her basement stuck in a rock like Excalibur.  Dean of course tries to pull it out with dramatic music and all but he can't do it.  So  he decides to blow up the rock and in the process part of the blade.  So now they know they have to get pretty close to the dragon.  Sam has figured out that the dragon is in a sewer tunnel and that's where they head.  They find a bunch of girls, fight several dragons, kill a couple of them and one gets away.  The girls are saved.

Bobby finds a book about dragon lore and virgins and they are used to open a portal into Purgatory and summons something.  So now we meet the new villain, Mother, which had been mentioned by the Alpha Vampire a while ago.

Fallen Series

I had heard about this Series from several book blogs and decided to check it out for myself.  I'm so glad I did.  I picked up the first book in the series, Fallen by Lauren Kate on Monday and I had it read by Wednesday night.  It was a total page turner and I could not get enough of it.  It is about a girl named Lucinda (Luce) Price that is drawn to a mysterious boy named Daniel Grigori.  She feels like she knows him but cannot recall from where.  He ignores her every chance he gets.  I like how you are kept guessing about what/who Daniel is and what has happened in Luce's past.  By the end of the book I wanted to pick up the next one and start reading.  There are four books planned in the series.

Fallen (12/08/09)

Torment (9/28/10)

Passion (6/14/11)

Rapture (Spring 2012)

Bummer

Supernatural is supposed to be on tonight, but I just read that it has been postponed and will not be on until next week.  I was so looking forward to it this weekend, now I have to wait a whole week.

Oh, there you are

I've read five books so far this month, if I continue to read five books a month then for 2011 I will read a total of 60, which is below my goal for the  year of 70.  In order to achieve my goal I have to read about six books a month.  I am currently reading a short book that I could easily finish by the end of the month.  Still waiting on many books at the library and I keep reading some reading blogs that increase my book list even more.

As for TV shows, I'm excited that The Vampire Diaries is coming back tonight.  Although I won't be able to watch it until this weekend.  Supernatural is on tomorrow night, but I won't watch it until the weekend too.  I watch Fringe now since it's on Fridays.  Plus Dan watches Fringe with me but not Supernatural.

Currently working on a Dragon for X, the pattern that I found on Ravelry.  He is a very demanding and impatient kid though.  Geez, what a slave driver.  He's constantly "When are you going to finish it"  "Why aren't  you working on it"  I only have so many hours in the day when I can work on it.  After I finish his I have to make one for O.  She wants a pink one so that means a trip to the store for find some pink yarn for hers.

Valentine's Day is coming up.  I have to check to see if I have some Valentine Cards otherwise I'll have to get some.  X has his eyes on some Bakugan ones we saw at Target the other day.  Last year he had Transformers Valentine Cards.  I did find a recipe I will be making for a Valentine Treat.  It is White Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies  which I know isn't totally Valentine but I wanted to try them.  Plus they do have red and white in them, sort of Valentine.  I'll post what I think of them.

Not much

Not much going on except that it is freezing.  Times like these really make me question why I live here.  This morning my thermometer said -21F,  that's right, that's a negative sign in front of it!  X said that it's too cold to go outside for recess and then in the car when I told him to hurry up and buckle up he said "My body won't move because it's too cold"  So I'm thinking it's good soup weather.  I plan to make some tomorrow, tonight it's Picadillo.

So far I've read 3 books and I just went to the library and picked up a couple more.  My goal this month is to read at least 5 books.  So only two more to go.

I've started watching Roswell again.  I bought all three seasons last year, had a marathon of them and haven't watched them since.  I had never seen that show before and actually caught the first season on Hulu and got hooked and had to buy all 3 seasons.  So this time I'm taking my time and watching them.  Also still watching Psych and almost done with Season 1.  I'm watching it with Dan so if he doesn't feel like watching it we usually don't.

I started crocheting again.  X said he wants either a Dinosaur or a Dragon so I went to Ravelry and found a pattern for a Dragon.  I'll have to see what color yarn I have to make it with.  Also I am making myself a scarf with some yarn that I bought a while ago.  I buy yarn that's interesting and/or pretty and never do anything with it.  So I thought I should just make scarves.  I can wear a different one everyday.  Plus it's so easy just to make a scarf while you're watching TV.  I haven't done any scrapbooking for a while so I really should do that.  I have to look at pictures and figure out what to print.  January is almost over and I feel like I haven't accomplished too much.  I'll post pictures of my scarf when I'm done with it along with the pattern.
