Thinking of You

I may not always be here, but I think about you guys all the time.

Rose

Though a sighting is rare, I think of Rose often as I knit. My daughter was given a knitting machine for Christmas. I doesn't work very well, but it inspired me to dig out the single mitten that I knitted for a class I took 10 years ago. OMG. 10 years. I had forgotten how to cast on and off, so my sister - who is adding to her garment-making skills (she sewed my wedding dress) by taking up knitting - showed me. I've been practicing techniques for a month now. I feel that I can actually start a project at this point. So Sister told me about this place on the street known for textiles that has these huge bags of yarn for under $10. Whee! I'm going to make a blanket for DS. He wants a blue one.

Knockers

The other day I was feeling a bit off. "You know what it probably is?" said another of the breakfast ladies, "Zinc. You need more zinc."

Swami & cq

We were talking about reality TV this morning and the other breakfast lady asked me the name of that show that had the mega billionaire trying to find someone to run his company. "The Rebel Billionaire," I said. I never watched the show, but I flamed Swami's summary on that forum. In my defense, when cq got flamed, Swami complained that no-one had ever flamed her. I was just trying to help.
