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. ...

But lately, all I've wanted to knit are shawls. You name it I probably have looked at the pattern. Yesterday I stumbled across the newest, newest as of yesterday morning, shawl pattern called 'it's good to be a girl' Damn right it is. Well that being said I quick ordered it and whammo just like magic, aka the internet , I had that pattern in my hot little hand and it only set me back a couple of bucks. That can't be said for the yarn but when you're a girl you have to keep things in perspective, especially if you are the sandwich board for your shawl. Now I have a word of warning about wearing your hand knit shawls, If you have a problem with people petting you it's probably best not to wander down this lane of iniquity that is shawl knitting. If you like to be fondled and groped by friends and strangers a like, go nuts, you can even wear it so the point is in the front, might be a bit suggestive but everyone likes a little tickle now and then. What is it w...

Life : is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processess from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased to exist (death), or else they lack such functions therefore classifying them as inanimate. Humans :Have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the hands for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. Lesson for the day: Use the tools you have to knit what you don't have. Mental capability, reasoning, problem solving and an erect carriage+yarn = The recipe for my Life Breath life into your yarn, that's what you bought it for in the first place. On a side note: I am currently working on many many wonderful projects but none so wonderful as Emmaline in the pink Sprout yarn I picked up at the yarn shop.

It must be the time of year... It started out pretty well. I had four balls wound and then it all went to hell...........for crying out loud, I didn't even get it on the swift and all hell broke loose, that's how fast it happened. Then only upside is this. Instead of 360 yards like I had last year, it was only 109.......Thank Goodness. I must admit though that at one point I was tempted to leave it as an offering on Marcy's desk in the morning, but then I had a beer and settled down. Phew....... Now it can become this..... Emmaline from the latest issue of knitty . On a side note, Easter went off without a hitch as far as I know, the Family in Arizona had a blast at the Easter Egg Hunt at the club. There is some chatter that my brother may have killed the Easter Bunny when he crossed the road but we're still waiting on confirmation that it was the actually E. Bunny and not some imposter trying to scare the children on the 18th green. *disclaimer* While my brother di...

On our recent road trip D and I drove through a lot of country side and passed a lot of farms. Farms that had crops and farms that had livestock. The livestock had baby livestock and I wanted nothing more than to get out of the car and go frolick with said baby livestock. So, withouth further ado, here is the conversation that D and I had regarding my urge to play with the lambs. Me: Look!!! lambs!! Baby Lambs!! Lets go play with them D: No Me: Yes!! I want to, I need to, I must go frolic with the sheep and their babies!!! D: No you don't Me: Yes I do D: No you don't. You think you do but you don't Me: But I do..... D: Sheep smell Me: So do you..........
