Mr. Whipple

I feel so sad now. I just found out that Mr. "Don't Squeeze the Charmin" died. He was 91 and appeared in over 500 commercials for Charmin. So sad.

This is my last post for a few days.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday!

The Police!

MMMMMM Sting.......

Last night I had one of my dreams fulfilled. I got to go see The Police live in concert at the Philips Arena in Atlanta. I could almost feel my nose bleeding, we were so high up and far away. They had three humongous screens set up above them though so you didn't miss a thing. That was really cool. And they were so incredibly loud. Awesome!


Every 56 year old man should have arms like Sting. OMG. He's still amazing. Where most older lead singers have lost most of their vocal high range, he hasn't lost much. And he has an amazing stage presence. I swear, if he passed be by on the street and crooked his little finger, my hubby would be a thing of the past. Oh my. He can be my sugar daddy anytime he wants.

Unlike of course, Andy Summers. The man cracked a smile once in two hours and never moved more than 5 feet away from his assigned spot. He is absolutely the oldest looking and acting of the bunch.

Stewart Copeland may have gray hair on his head, but he's got to be one of the hardest working men in show business. The man never stopped moving. He gets a great workout every night. We lost track of how many drum sticks he threw up in the air during and after each song. I wonder how many sticks he goes through a night? He didn't stick to just his one drum set though. He had a range of percussion instruments that rose out of the floor behind him for him to wail on; a giant gong, tympanies, xylophone, bells, and loud dangly things. He never missed a beat. He's a freaking percussive genius.

Wow what a show. They had a tight play list and played most of their big hits. These old geezers can still rock with the best of them.

Want to see why the concert folks aren't worried about people having camera phones on them at the shows? Let me show you a couple of pics that I took. I absolutely cracked myself up taking these terrible pics:

This one was taken during Roxanne - notice the red lights?

Don't have a clue when this was taken, but it sorta sideways shows the huge screens above them.

Really bad nose bleed shot
Very crooked opening number shot.

So there you have it. They should pay me to take pics with my camera phone at all the big shows, don't ya think? :) My hubby spent the whole time laughing at me and calling me a geek - especially when I told him I would be posting these bad boys here for you guys.


Here's the play list from the show:

1- Message in a Bottle

2- Synchronicity II

3- Walking on the Moon

4- Voices Inside My Head/When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around

5- Don’t Stand So Close To Me

6- Driven To Tears

7- Hole In My Life

8- Truth Hits Everybody

9- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

10- Wrapped Around Your Finger

11- De Do Do Do De Da Da Da

12- Invisible Sun

13- Walking In Your Footsteps

14- Can’t Stand Losing You

ENCORE I

15) Roxanne

16) King of Pain

17) So Lonely

18) Every Breath You Take

ENCORE II

19) Next To You

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the opening band, Fiction Plane, had Sting's son as the lead singer. When we got there we thought Sting was singing. Nope, it was his son. Sound's JUST like his dad. Pretty cool.

Also, Sting mentioned that the last time they played Atlanta was in 1978. I was 9 years old folks. Dang that was a long time ago.

It's Elementary My Dear Watson

This Pic cracks me up. Today at school was "dress up like a book character day." So while most of the boys (8 of them to be exact) dressed like Harry Potter, the Eldest decided to be different and dress up as Dr. Watson from the Sherlock Holmes novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He would have been Sherlock if we could have found the right had, but this was the best we could do. The teachers loved it, but the kids were clueless. What elementary kid (besides mine) even knows who Sherlock Holmes is?

He wore a jacket of his Dad's that was long enough to be a trench coat on him. We just added a mustache, pipe and hat. He said that none of the other kids "had as much detail with their costumes" as he did. Notice we had to roll up the sleeves a couple of hundred times to get the coat to fit.

I'm glad that he's game to try and be different from the other kids. That will serve him well later on in life.

It's elementary my Dear Watson!

Oh, and thanks for the correction about my last post Lizzie! I didn't know that about Xmas.

CHRISTMAS and the politically correct jerks

This article ,others like it, and commercials on television from the past couple of years really twists my knickers. I'm sick to death of the politically correct crap surrounding CHRISTMAS. Must we all apologize for calling the holiday what it is? It's CHRISTMAS folks. That's right, not Xmas, but CHRISTMAS. Yep, got to have the CHRIST in it to be CHRISTMAS. The holiday contains CHRISTMAS trees, not holiday trees.

Do you hear the Jewish people apologizing for Hanukkah? I don't think so, and I don't think that Christians should apologize for saying the word or celebrating the holiday of CHRISTMAS either.

The politically correct crowd are so scared of offending the athiests and the agnostics that now they are avoiding all references to the word Christmas. This is not just a "holiday" where we spend money on lavish gifts for loved ones (and money on white elephant gifts for everyone else.) This is a religious holiday. It's our Lord and Savior's holiday. It is offensive to us Christians that our holiday is now treated as a pariah holiday.

Do you think the Jewish would put up with this? What of the African Americans and the completely fabricated holiday of Kwanzaa (before you get upset, check the website - it even says "Dr. Maulana Karenga, the creator of kwanzaa")?

So why are the Christians being bashed? More importantly, why are the Christians allowing it? Every corporation is now tip-toeing around the word CHRISTMAS. Again, must we all apologize for calling the holiday what it is? I refuse to set aside my religion and my love of CHRIST to make the politically correct jerks happy. I'm absolutely and completely offended at the direction that society is taking on things like this.

But that's just my 2 cents on the subject. If this offends, well too bad. After all, didn't I say that I wasn't going to apologize?

football, knitting, cats and desk lamps

Wanna see how great I am with a digital camera that has a major delay between when you push the button and it actually takes a picture? Sunday was the Eldest's last football game of the year. He had the ball, was hauling major a$$ down the field followed by a whole crowd of the opposing team. I clicked the button and what did I get? A foot, a hand and the football peaking out from behind one of the coaches. Great.

My son's in there somewhere.

What else was I doing during the game? Well, it wasn't knitting that's for sure. Keeping the Youngest from charging out onto the field took four arms and four legs. His Dad and I had our hands full during the whole game. I swear he needs a Nanny Octopus to keep him under control. It really is wrestling with a wild monkey folks. Notice the look he's giving his Dad for holding the back of his shirt.

I don't know who you think you're messing with bub, but if you think holding my shirt's gonna stop me, you've got another think coming!

As far as the cardigan goes, I got the back finished and am a little over halfway done with the right front. Here's the current piece being modeled by Widget the Supervisor doing one of her quality inspection checks:

She says "Knitting's fine, but the desk lamp could be a little warmer."

Check out the color of the knitting and the color of the eyes.

Perfect match!

contests!

Hi guys!

LotusKnits is running a contest over on her blog. She's giving away something "semi-solid". I hope it's just yarn. Having been around kids and one bulimic cat, the term semi-solid has taken on a whole new meaning. :) ETA- forgot to mention - If you do enter, tell her where you saw the contest mentioned. thanx!

You can find her contest and several others over here at WiKnit, a new blog for knitting contests. I plan on stopping there frequently. I love free stuff! Next to sale, free is my favorite word! (I also like exclamation points, can ya tell?)

Sat. evening knitting and other misc. stuff

I'm so bummed. My alma mater let me down last night. They just didn't bring their game to Athens last night. However, I got tons of knitting done. I've almost completed the back to the Minimalist Cardigan. Yesterday when I picked this up, I had only about a third of what you see here accomplished. This is very speedy knitting for me. Of course with the game taking twice as long as it should have due to all the flags the refs had flying everywhere, there was lots of time to put into my project.

Back almost finished!

Here's an interesting link, but I have to wonder what the artist could possibly have been thinking. Why? Why would someone build a city with eggs? I'm all for crafting and art, but mine is a little more practical. I don't usually (notice the caveat?) make something just to say that I did it.

On the nanowrimo novel front - it's a no go for right now. I'm still writing, but not to the extent that they expect. There's a little too much going on in my life to put that much time into it. By the time the kids are in bed in the evening, I want to relax and unwind, not beat my head against my monitor because I can't come up with 1667 words a day. That takes the enjoyment right out of writing for me. maybe later.

Combination Knitting Quagmires

Do you knit strangely? Do you change the way you knit depending on the type of project that is in front of you? If you answered yes, then we may have been separated at birth.

I'm a combo knitter. I fell into this quite accidentally. I thought that I was teaching myself Continental style knitting. Not so. I screwed that up royally. I had finished two sweaters before I realized that I had twisted all the stitches. So, I did some research and found that I combo knit. I'm a hybrid knitter. Hmmm, could I call myself an eco knitter? a green knitter? anyway, back to my point.

I find that thanks to the hybridness that is combo knitting, that I can't knit exactly the way that I'm supposed to. Here's some examples:

- when I knit stockinette in the round, everything's just peachy.
- when I stockinette flat, things start going wrong.

Why? You can put the blame on Purl. Let's see if I can possibly explain this. I don't have any visuals, so bear with me.

I take my right needle and insert it into the first loop on the left needle as if to purl. I then take the yarn in my left hand and wrap it around the right needle back towards me in a clock-wise fashion using my thumb (the thumb reference is really irrelevant, just thought I'd share.) Basically it's wrapped the short way around.

So say I've done an entire row of purls and then turn the work. Now what's wrong with this you ask? Well, the loops are set up wrong for doing a proper knit stitch. The correct way, the side of the loop closest to your body should be just ahead of the back loop so that your loop is slightly angled to the right. right? still with me? So, on my needles, it's backwards. The back side of the loop is just slightly ahead due to the way that my purls were done.

Now, if I were to go ahead and do a knit stitch in the front of the loop, it ends up being twisted. But if I knit from the back of the loop, it knits up just fine. By the way, this really messes up patterns where the directions say "knit through back loop" because the designer wants you to twist that stitch. I then have to knit through the front. Can get a little confusing to say the least.

Here's where my quagmire comes in. I refuse to change the direction of the purl just to make the knits happy since I can purl much, much faster this way. But, I want to knit the correct way. I like sliding that needle in through the front leg of the loop. It's fun.

On my current project calls for a Moss stitch. Oh boy. K1, P1 across the first row, P1, K1 across the next. This really messes me up. If I knit the way I always do, I'll have "loop legs" going in every direction. But I'm stubborn, I found away around the dilemma. This is where learning to "read" my knitting has completely paid off. All I've done is to purl through the back loop while still wrapping the yarn towards me in a clock-wise fashion. It's worked beautifully. My loops are all turned the correct way for the knit stitch and I'm now a happy camper.


Make any sense at all? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from other knitters about this kind of thing. How do you change your knitting depending on what project you're working on?

3 big mistakes

I made a couple of semi-mistakes this weekend by going out to my Mom and Dad's place. The Eldest begged to go and who am I to deny my children their Grandparent's company?

Mistake #1. I'm now two days behind on my novel writing. Don't know if I'll be able to catch up, but we'll see. Let's see, 1667 words a day. Friday I only finished 862. SO, 8o5 for fri, 1667 for sat, 1667 for sun, 1667 for today. 5806 words to catch up on. might not be happenin'.

Mistake #2. My mother and I should never, ever go to Walmart together. We're both enablers of the other. It's always fun to help someone else spend their money right? Well, we spent each other's money and way too much of it too.

Mistake #3. I picked up my knitting and got a whole three rows done. wow. what progress.

Here's the progress of the cardigan so far:

so soft! so green!

Knitting and my new favorite artist

This awesome picture is from an artist named Banksy. An absolutely amazing artist. Visit his site and look at the outdoor work he's done. I love his sense of humor. This pic has everything to love. It has tea (I love tea). It has Grannies. It has knitting. It has punk knitting grannies. What's not to love?

I finally cast on for the Minimalist Cardigan (try spelling that out three times fast) and it's coming along swimmingly. I started on the back and I'm about a third of the way through. I'll have a pic sometime later this week. I began this on Halloween night and added a little more on during the boring carpool wait at school.

If posts are a little sporadic this month, please be patient. I took the Nanowrimo challenge and a lot of my creative writing urges are being consumed by it. Plus, I have knitting and spinning to do. Oh, yeah, and I have to figure out how to fit in cooking, cleaning and the children. There's a husband in the mix somewhere too, but I'm afraid he might be ending up last on the priority list. He'll live.

Happy Halloween!

• Here's a few Halloween Links for you:
  

The Worst Halloween Costumes of All Time from retroCRUSH

Ultimate Guide to Halloween Candies of 2007 over at I-Mockery

• These have been done elsewhere, but they're so funny I thought I'd repeat them. Here's some Important Halloween Safety Tips for you on this scariest of nights.

1. When it appears that you have killed the monster or murderer, NEVER check to see if it's really dead.

2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.

3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.

4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's voice.

5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off and go alone.

6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.

8. If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it's just the cat, GET THE HELL OUT!

9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not check for short circuits; just get out.

10. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

11. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around.

12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.

13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are female. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

14. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them immediately.

15. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Crystal Lake, Salem, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize this one), anywhere in Texas where chainsaws are sold, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to he nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange you ran out of gas because you thought you had most of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and most likely be eaten.

17. Beware of strangers bearing tools. For example: chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased companions.

18. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws. This also applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices.

19. Dress appropriately. When investigating a noise downstairs in an old house, women should not wear a flimsy negligee. And carry a flashlight, not a candle.

20. Do not mention the names of demons around open flames, as these can flare suddenly. Be especially careful of fireplaces in this regard.

21. Do not go looking for witches in the Maryland countryside.

Scouts

Well, tonight was a big deal in the Cub Scout world. The Eldest earned his Bobcat badge and a ton of other stuff. He was so proud of himself.

I am not very involved in the Scouting world. Not because I don't want to be (except for camping. You'd have to pay me to do that and then supply power for my hair dryer and proper lighting for my makeup) but because I'm trying to let this be something that he and his father do together without my interference.

The Eldest has always been a "Mama's Boy" (which is fine with me since I won't have to marry him - let some other woman retrain him like I had to with his Dad) and this is the first time they've really done something together. Also, his Dad never got to do this growing up so he's living vicariously through the Eldest. So, basically, I stay back in the shadows and try to offer encouragement and a few "atta-boys" on the way. And this way, I don't have to go camping.

Besides, somebody's gotta watch the Youngest. Although camping would be more restful I think. Maybe I will take up camping... Can you knit well by firelight?

Early Halloween Fun

Yesterday, our church had our annual Halloween Tailgate Treat. This is loads of fun. Everyone decorates the back of their cars and hands out candy to all the trick or treaters. There are prizes for the best decorated tailgates and for the best costumes. I won the tailgate contest a few years ago, but wasn't feeling well enough to put the work into it this year. We did get the kids dressed up and off to trick or treat though.

It was like wrestling with a wild monkey to get the Youngest all dressed up. We tried to paint his face white, but did a lousy job of it. Maybe I should have said a large octopus instead of a wild monkey. Every time we moved a hand away so that we could decorate his face, another hand/arm appeared to block our efforts. We were exhausted before we ever got into our car to head to the church parking lot.

We decided to try and head the wild monkey off at the pass by putting him into his favorite wagon. It only worked for a while, but every second he was contained we considered to be a blessing. He's truly a hand full.

I got a couple of pics for you from it that cracked me up. The first has some skeleton boy who we didn't know, but who decided to get in on the picture taking action. You can tell my boys are related, they have the exact same "who the hell are you and why are you in our picture?" expression.



The other was taken right after we got back to the house. We were trying to get both of them to look at the camera at the same time. We made the mistake of saying peekaboo. He's covering his mouth to play peekaboo. He doesn't quite have the whole idea of covering your eyes to play it, but he's getting closer.




Last pic is knitting related. This is my second swatch for the Minimalist Cardigan and is also the correct one for gauge. The pattern calls for sevens, but I'm getting gauge with the sixes. So, guess that's what we'll use huh?

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, My birthday turned out to be an almost lovely day. My parents came over and took us out to dinner sans kids. We ate at a nice small italian restaurant. We all went to the In-Laws and picked up the kids and got my bday loot and had cake. Everything was very lovely. EXCEPT. I'm covered in sore/itchy/hivey type spots and I'm still achy.

See, a couple of weeks ago I was bitten by a tick. Totally gave me the heebie jeebies when I found it on me, on the back of my head! Ewwwww. Now, I've got spots. So, I had to race to the doctor to get drugs to combat whatever this may be. It's too early to know and I refuse to worry myself about whether I have lyme disease or some strange Alabamian middle of nowhere fungal plague from my parents place at the lake. Hi Mom!

I've gotten zero knitting done in 3 days. My parents stayed the night last night and we were too busy chatting and playing with kids. The look on the Youngest's face today as they were leaving was priceless. He could not have made them feel more guilty if he had tried. Absolutely pitiful. Boy loves his Nanny and PawPaw. He kept saying " N' Go!" and pretended not to see me as I tried to take him from his Nanny. Thus, fully engaging in the theory, "If I can't see you, you must not be there and therefore won't take me from the person I would rather be with so you should just make me happy and go away." I guess I know my place in the world huh?

Just because I wasn't knitting does not mean that I was not being crafty though. This morning was the Cub Scouts Space Derby. Eldest and his Dad made a rocket. Guess who got roped into painting it? Yep. Your's Truly.

I got the "Most Imaginitive" award for my trouble, er, effort! Well, the certificate said that the Eldest got it, but I'm claiming it anyway. Here's a pic with the rocket and the model used. Ever heard of Larry Boy from Veggie Tales? If you haven't you should fix that. These are a parody of batman and spiderman done by the Veggie Tales crowd and they are super funny. Adults find it funnier than the kids do because of all the pop culture references. Anyway, here's the results:

I Am That Hero!

I can has cheezburger?

This one just kills me. I can has cheezburger anyone? Last silly post of the day. I swear.

names

If I was a guy this comic would be so me. I am absolutely horrible with names. I'm lucky that I remember my name, much less anyone else's. When I teach children's classes, I always have to tell them about this so they don't get their feelings hurt when I forget their names. And I always do. It's embarrassing. Very. People expect you to remember their names. I would make a lousy salesperson. So, if you ever meet me, please be understanding when I nod and smile and say "hey you!" Please?

Clementine Shawlette is Finished!

Ha! I told you I'd have another FO today! Yes, the Clementine Shawlette is finally finito. It took long enough. I had a tough choice to make today: Nap during Youngest's nap time or I could work on the knitting. I am now very sleepy, but happy to have another Finished Object.

So, it's time for "what have I learned from this project."

1. Kitchener stitch is really not bad. I think I like doing this better than the mattress stitch. Reading many blog posts and comments in the forums had me worried that this part would look terrible on the shawlette, but I like it.
2. All acrylics are not created equal. This Lion Brand Micro Spun yarn is a dream. It's so soft and glides well on the needle.
3. It's definitely time for and un-lace project. This was fun, but I need a break from lace. I'm all laced out.
4. I learned how to read a chart! I think I prefer directions written out, but now I can do both.
   
5. I learned that it's real easy to make stupid math mistakes.
6. But! I can now rip out lace like it's nobody's business! This project caused me to get over the fear of frogging. So, I guess the stupid mistakes served their purpose.

Now, on to the pics:

Full length shot

The dreaded seam

Close Up shot of the Chevrons!

Yeah Me!

Blah!

I finally confessed to the hubby that I spent some money. He's a little paranoid about the subject lately since there's not any coming in. I spent it in July. On The Police concert tickets. For those not in "the Know" that's The Police, a rock band, not the Barney Fife kind of pOh-lice that give out tickets to unsuspecting drivers. You won't find the band giving out free tickets. Oh no, not them. You pay up front for these and then receive a piece of paper, not the other way around.

So, I tried passing them off as an anniversary gift to him (the 19th was our 11th wedding anniv.) Sneaky huh? It totally didn't fool him for a sec. All he said was "these are really for you aren't they?" while grinning. Um, maybe. I do heart me some Sting. I don't care if he's old enough to be my dad. He can go tantric all over me any time he cares too. Older men are so sexy. How the hell did I end up married to a guy younger than me?



Other than that, My life has entered "the blah zone." I swear.

On one hand, I spend my day chasing a toddler and chauffeuring the Eldest to all his "appointments" - to school in the mornings, to school in the afternoons, etc.

On the other hand, the knitting is still plodding along. I'm hoping that within the next two days or so, I'll finish the Clementine Shawlette. Don't even ask me about Dad's socks. Those are not plodding. They've dug in their heels and have decided that if they go anywhere, it's because they've been drug there.

In between those two hands, I've been in a funk. I'm hoping that one of these days I'll snap out of it. Maybe it's because it's my birthday week? Does everyone do this before their birthday?

Halloween Meme

Okay, this is a makeup post since I missed two days last week. You know how you get in a funk and just can't bear to depress/bore everyone else with writing about how you're depressed? Yeah, I was in that kind of a mood. Please forgive!

So, here's something that started at Old Lady Pen Pal . I decided to jump in and join the fun.

1. Do you believe in ghosts?

Maybe. I know that there's supposed to be the ghost of my Grandmother that haunts my Mom and Uncle's house. She chain smoked like a fiend and every once in a while you can smell cigarette smoke in my Mom's house. No one smokes in my family now, so why would we smell smoke at the house unless it's her ghost checking up on us? I kind of like knowing she's watching over us. But she also used to cuss like a sailor. If I ever hear any of that though, I'm running!

2. Have you ever seen a ghost?

Nope, and I don't wanna.

3. Have you ever experienced something that is best described by the word “paranormal”?

Um, no other than the answer to question #1.

4. Do you watch any ghost or haunting themed shows?

No. I can't take any of these kinds of shows or horror movies. I freak out at even moderate tension. I can't even watch I love Lucy, much less a horror movie. The tension of knowing how much trouble Lucy is about to get into just kills me. (There's something not right about me isn't there?)

5. If so, do you sometimes sleep with the lights on or wake up your partner because the show scared you a whole lot and you can’t sleep and don’t want to be awake alone?

Sleep? I don't get good sleep on a good night. I have kids remember? One of them has nightmares and walks in his sleep and the other is only 22 mos. What's sleep?

6. Have you ever been to a supposedly haunted place? If so, did you experience anything spooky?

My Mom's house? I've also visited castles in Europe that were supposedly haunted.

7. How much do you love Halloween?

I love, love, love it! I had a decorating fit a couple of weeks ago where I bought some stuff and made some and my house is so cheery now! I also got two bales of hay and put them outside in the front of our house. I put a scarecrow with it. We also put spiderwebs all in the front too.

Only happy scarecrows allowed!

Ravelry

I finally got my Ravelry invite. It took about three months to get it. I spent way too much time last night uploading pictures and info. into it. You can get to my page on there (if you are already a member) by scrolling down and clicking on the button to the right on my blog. It's a pretty cool knitting/crochet resource. I can't wait to spend more time exploring on there. If you haven't joined Ravelry, you can join in with the rest of us knitaholics by requesting an invite. Please do, it's fun!
