20 percent knitting, 80 percent grey's
i did knit one little item for my mom. it was a free pattern from here. when i can't quite commit to my next project, i usually throw a dishcloth on the needles.
my mom's kitchen is a deep red and gold. she has some pear knick knacks so i thought this fit well. even though she'll just be using it to wash dishes.
i am still recovering from grey's last night. i have mixed feelings. overall, it was good. but meredith, are you crazy? derek could you quit traumatizing the poor girl? i mean when you give a girl a look like that how can she resist? but seriously, you need to leave your wife. the highlight of the show was of course burke and christina. i love christina and last night she frustrated me to no end. in a good way. she is brilliant. and sorry to say it, but i am so glad denny is dead. i was SO sick of that storyline. the only good part of it was seeing alex pick up izzie, talk about an amazing gesture. and one more thing, george, thank you for realizing that you were partly to blame. i so needed to hear that to gain back my respect for him.
how am i going to get through the next 4 months people?? i have already watched the season 1 dvd too many times :) not that you haven't heard this a million times, but i love greys.

holy cow...grey's was SO good!! the denny situation majorly annoyed me until the end...I was bawling. christina and burke...so sweet, i'm so glad she finally went in there. derrick and mer...le sigh. he totally needs to leave his wife, either way. but I can't decide if I like them together anymore or not. gah, there was just SO much going on in those episodes...i loved it all!
oh and george needs to LOSE that hair by next season...fast. haha.
moving on...seeing your backyard leaves scarf (and everyone else's on the KAL blog for Scarf-Style), I must have that book and knit that scarf sometime soon! granted, I won't have anywhere quite as grand as you to wear it, but nonetheless...it's so cute! :)
oh and your mother's day setup was absolutely perfect! I loved all the colors and details. btw, what kind of printer do you have? I'm gonna be in the market soon (once I have the money) to buy a new one, since apparently...they stopped making ink for mine sometime within the last 6 months. ha.
good luck with your grey's withdrawal! my mission during the summer is to adopt new shows I've never watched and read as much as i can!
.♥.
I loved last night's episode, and am too thinking about how I am going to make it months without my Grey's fix.
Are the DVDs worth my money? Any good extras?
OMG, I was totally hooked on Grey's last night. Such a great episode. I'm of two minds of Meredith and McDreamy. I'm so glad that Yang went to see Burke finally and was there for him. Alex had a human side, which was miraculous to see. Izzy and Denny, I actually liked them together and was sad to see him go, but wasn't surprised by that turn of events. I needed to hear that from George too. I'm glad he seems to be working out things with his Dr. Lady. I really liked Finn though and that appears to be over after last night. I dunno how we're gonna make it through the summer reruns and Grey's withdrawals!
HOLY COW AND WOWZA!!@!!! That HAD to be THE best Grey’s I’ve seen yet. Even better than the “It’s the end of the world” and “as we know it”. BTW, did you catch the title of the episodes? I always try to b/c they fit so well.
ANYWHOOOOOOOO, the scene with Alex talking to Izzie and loving her enough to be tender to her while her heart ached over ANOTHER man. WOW! Amazing to watch. The whole cradling and rocking thing. . . . . I sobbed almost as hard as Izzie.
Yeah, the whole Mer and McDipshit (my new name for him) was hot but HOW SELFISH CAN HE BE?????? She TOLD him she was trying to fix what he broke and trying to be happy and then he looks at her like that, follows her out, kisses her and then, and then, well . . . . you know the “and then” part already! UUUGGGHH! I do NOT like that he is not allowing her to move on. Even ALEX loves Izzie enough to realize that he needed to let her do what she needed to do to be happy. Geez! I'm not sure how I feel about the two of them together anymore. He clearly has control issues. I think he wants his cake and be able to eat it as well. He's not only stringing Meredith but also Addison along. He hasn't fully committed to Addison but he won't leave her. He won't be with Meredith but she can't be with anyone else either. When she is FINALLY with a decent guy who will do right by her, he ends up going all IDIOT on her. I'm SO frustrated with him!
I thought that it would be Flinn or Addison that would find the 2 of them. I find it quite fascinating that it turned out to be Callie. She was so tender with Meredith, making sure that she looked ok and her dress was fine before leading her to Izzie. The look to McDipshit. Loathing and angry. PERFECT! Just what I would have done.
For God’s sake he STAYED WITH HIS WIFE. He needs to let Meredith have a chance at moving on.
I don't know quite how I feel about Callie and George together but I certainly like Callie. She's a keeper in my book.
I was so angry with Christina for the first half and then watching her explain why she acted like she did to the Chief, allowing herself to realize that she was more human than she knew what to do with, seeing her grief over her inability to cope and help her lover, friends and her SELF????? Abso F’ing lutely BRILLIANT!!!!! I'm just glad thawt Burke loves her as much as he does and hasn't given up on her yet.
How long until September?
I'm not going to be able to WAIT to see what happens on GA! I so love this show.
Weep, weep... how will we live without it? Last night my husband put it all in perspective by saying... "Just think dear, by the time it comes back on you will have gotten your summer tan and lost it already..." Thanks dear. Four months is too long.
I loved the whole prom thing - sweet and inventive on the writers part. I am a huge mer/der fan - however, I almost think I am more excited to see what happens with Burke and Christina than with mer/der - it's just so sad with the two of them, so desperate and doing destructive things relationship wise.... ah, I could go on forever!
Cute dishy.
How can a girl knit when her eyes are completely puffy from sobbing??
It cannot be born! Last night's Grey's was too much! Too much I tell you! I was yelling at the screen, "Derek! Don't you look at her like that...you hear me. Derek, stop it, I mean it" He didn't listen to me. Instead he had to go and muck things up. Don't get me wrong I want those two together, but not like that. Not with Addison in the pic. Oh man. It was such a doozy. Good thing I have season one on dvd to tide me over til fall. Otherwise I would be a more of a mess than I already am.
I don't watch GA, so I can't comment on that, but I love, love, love the dishcloth!
I don't watch GA either, but I can understand how into it you are! The dishcloth turned out lovely and holy cow, that dinner for you mom... totally brilliant!
worst cliff hanger EVER.
i'm sorry people but i couldn't give a rat's ass about merideth and deric..snore. i actually wanted fin to have a chance. and that loce scene was baaaaaaad.
altho. i did like denny dying. i did love christina and burke. and dr bailey is always and forever my favorite.
the prom stuff was lame..but they needed to drinve the love/loss thing home.
i think they should have just edited it to the end as izzy and the two men walked down the stairs after she told the chief she did it. would have been a better end.
i like this show that's why i'm hard on it. i just hate it when tv writer's beat a dead horse into the groud with the oppsite love intrests. why can't stuff be like josh and donna on the west wing..that was YEARS in the making...YEARS PEOPLE!
i'm upset with derek for making himself a bad guy. he should have signed the divorce papers when he had the chance. but that wouldn't have been good tv now, would it.
Ok, I'm in the minority. I was really sad about Denny. I thought he was tenderhearted (pardon the pun!). As for Meredith and Derek, that whole thing has me so divided. I like them together but I do think that in a marriage you should absolutely stick to your vows no matter what and I get so bugged when storylines have me rooting for the marriage to end.
In real life I can't imagine feeling that way. I guess I should lighten up! I especially can't imagine why someone as smart as Meredith would be putting herself in the predicament of being "the other woman." Sorry, I wished the whole Finn thing could have worked out for her. Sigh....
So, nobody is mentioning Izzy quiting. Did I hear wrong? I must rewind the TiVo. I must have heard wrong because that would mean leaving the show I'd assume.
I liked the whole part where the chief brought them in and they all turned the discussion on what they were dealing with at the time.
Amy, you should do a wrap up next season after each episode (sorry if you do this and I've missed it!). I think it's fun to read posts from a passionate GA fan!
What an adorable dishcloth! Thanks for the link - I'm adding the teacup dishcloth to the knitting queue.
I love the dishcloth!
As to GA -- I was so torn up last year when it ended. I couldn't stand to wait until it came back. Now this year I just don't care. I don't care about any of the characters at all. I couldn't believe they had Christina do all that and then say to the Chief that she finally "cared" after never caring before? Is that why she just blew off her live in boyfriend when he was in surgery? And they never explained that!
I like George well enough, and like Callie, but she is way too good for him. He is kind of funny looking and she really is gorgeous. Why she would be so in love with him, who knows. Then to bring Olivia in near the end made it seem all that more lame that George loves Meredith and will never care for Callie just like he didn't care for Olivia.
For me that was pretty much 3 hours I can never get back. I have *no* interest in Meredith and even less interest in Derek (except I *love* Patrick Dempsey). His poor wife! The theme of the episode seemed to be "everyone settles" which seemed really depressing to me.
Sure, I'll still watch, but the magic is gone.
i finally watched the last 2 hours this afternoon so i could read your full post. although i knew it would happen, (i couldn't imagine izzy and denny married) etc. i was sad when he died. in a way, that was probably the most romantic story line in the whole show. and i thought the actor was hot and wouldn't have minded seeing him more. oh well, maybe he'll be on another show.
i'm definitely looking forward to next season.
