Day 10: What are your Three Favorite Bands

I'm a few days behind.
Mom arrived Sunday for the week so I definitely missed Sunday.
Yesterday we just ran around and chilled out.
She's getting adjusted to the time change and being at my house.
Phoebe is falling in love with her while shooting me dirty looks like i've kept my mom hidden from her for her entire life.

Which actually makes me really happy.
She had a hard time bonding with D and I.
She's come a long way in healing to be able to bond with my mom, a complete stranger so quickly.

But back to my challenge!
Today is easy.
Three Favorite Bands.

1. O|A|R - Of a Revolution from Rockville Maryland
D and I first saw them at DisneyWorld at House of Blues in 2016. He really liked them and I was kind of meh. It was fun but it wasn't doing it for me. Then in September 2016 we road tripped down to Portland to see them again at the Crystal Ballroom. Again, it was fun, but I was meh on it. July 2017 they opened for Train and we went to the Gorge to watch.

Boom. It all clicked. Love them, downloaded almost every album and they are on a regular rotation on my playlist and Prime Music. Weird right?

2. Good Charlotte
I am not only a big fan of Joel and Benji Madden as singers/punk rockers, I really like them as people from what I see following them online. Joel is married to Nicole Ritchie and Benji married Cameron Diaz. I love the progression of their music over the years, they released an album that just the two of them put together a couple years ago that I love. They also released a Christmas son a few years back
Let the World be Still

3.Elle King - Love her song Exe's and Oh's, America's Sweetheart, and Make you Smile. D turned me on to her a few years back. Fun fact, She is the daughter of former SNL actor Rob Schneider.

So those are my top three favorite bands. :) They're the ones I sing out loud in the car with, they put me in a good mood, and they are constantly in whatever playlist I create whether it's for the gym, home, work, car, boat, it doesn't matter. They will always be on it.

Happy Tuesday!

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
