It's a trap!

It really is...
If you walk anywhere in our house and don't turn on the lights you run a high risk of getting caught in one of the dogs toy traps...
Ever kick a bone across the floor in the middle of the night that wasn't there when you went to sleep? I have and I lost a toenail in the process.

Ever step on a squeaky toy that was left like an offering at the side of the bed?
It's the loudest noise in the world at midnight, not to mention heart stopping.

Ever step on a cold damp stuffed hippo in the dark not knowing what the fuzzy wet substance under your foot was but praying the dogs didn't bring something in from the backyard?

This happens on a weekly basis for me...

Last night however was the best laid trap I've seen in a while, put there by Gabby. Her two favorite toys in the house perched right at the top of the stairs smack in the middle of the hall...

Thankfully I had my wits about me and I turned the light on... For sure I would have ended up in the supine position at the bottom of the stairs with my dogs sitting on top waiting to be fed.

Happy Thursday

Last night I stepped on the CAT herself. What a stupid girl, laying in the bathroom doorway without enough sense to move out of the way when she detected me moving her way.

This morning I skidded across the kitchen floor on a nylabone that was left in the middle of it and slammed into the counter...dogs thought it was great fun!

Oh my goodness, those nylabones are DANGEROUS! I've had an encounter or two with them at my home of my daughters dogs.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
