Jokes are good
Dougie told his first knock-knock joke yesterday. Becca and I were exchanging some new Backyardigans jokes and he decided to join in. D: Knock, knock me: Who’s there? D: eh me: eh who? D: blank pause for a bit and then dissolving into peals of laughter and falling on the floor. About 10 minutes later he tried out another one on Ben. D: Knock, knock B: Who’s there?...
My boys
Their birthday is this Thursday. The big 0-2. And they are a heck of a lot of fun. Even if they drive me batty at times. It’s funny, because there are days where I will say out loud, ‘You kids are driving me batty!’ and Becca will correct me. ‘No we’re not. We’re driving you crazy!’ So Dougie. A biting fool. And strong. He will put a hand on a...
Lookee
Check out what my mom is getting me for my birthday. This sweater kit. In these
colors. You will note that the sweater is shapeless and
boxy. I think this is probably for the best for my first
colorwork sweater. Besides, a nice big bulky sweater is a comfy
thing. I should be able to show you pictures of my work in about
three years.
Because I spend my days stalking knitting prey across the...
Miniscule things to ponder
What kind of weird, sick, demented person doesn’t watch Heroes? I harassed Ben into putting some of my pictures into flickr tonight so that I can put them on Ravelry. He had the unmitigated gall to try and show me how to do it myself for the future. I mean, really! If he was a surgeon, would I operate on myself? Just because he could show me how to do it in the future?
Week in review
Monday Ben picked Becca up from preschool and brought her home. Ben and I were in the kitchen eating lunch when Becca walks in weepy. ‘There’s a box in my nose!’ Someone shoved something up her nose. It could not be blown out. I got the tweezers and she started screaming about how we aren’t supposed to put those up our noses. I could just barely see wet cardboard WAY...
Not so random thoughts
When someone dies, there will always be regrets. The things you
could have said or done for them. And then I start to think about
how I could do that for all the people around me who are still
here. But how do you do that?
If you know that a specific person’s time is limited, you can give them
the time and part of yourself. How would you spread that around
to everyone? How would you...
Sock sorrow
I purchased sock yarn last week to make Mother’s Day socks for the women in my family. I already have sock yarn and have started on the socks for Ben’s mom. Her feet get hot so I went with the no-wool option of Panda Cotton. Bamboo, cotton and elastic. My mom’s feet don’t get so hot and she was intrigued by the yarn I was telling her about, so I purchased Seacoast Panda...
