Here's hoping you're sunning yourself on a beautiful beach with a cold Dos Equis (stay thirsty, my friend), having ordered Chinese carry-out for dinner. All this...while someone else is home caring for the cats, putting groceries away, making coffee, and spraying the fruit-flies with cheap hairspray!

I'm hoping #9 is C. Everyone should have a little time with the most interesting man in the world.

You always make me smile.

We had Chinese take-out last night too.

Oh I want to know where on Etsy you found that purse insert!

So go cast on some socks already. I always have a pair on the needles in a pretty little gift bag on standby. Always. Sometimes it takes years to finish the pair but they are not really a knitting project but a tonic for the soul. Sometimes you just need a sock to work on. It's a primeval urge. You can't ignore it.

BTW: Today's post was hilarious and totally brilliant!

PS:Daddio has been battling fruit flies all summer also. I've tried everything including those little plastic apples filled with poison you buy at the hardware store. Nothing is working. Nothing.

I got the purse insert which is exceptionally well made at SIMPLENATURAL etsy site. She has many more. They are well priced!!

Your quiz has driven me to drink a Hard Lemonade, but there is not an interesting man in site. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?
Katherine said…
Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 = all of the above.
No. 2 - Gosh, golly, gee I can only guess C.
No. 6 - D plus it means tomorrow is my birthday.
No. 9 - I hope C. Please give details!

Fun post!!

Love it! Gotta keep those damn fruit flies out of the vodka and lemonade now!
Gracie Saylor said…
What??? Never tell??? The purse organizer looks brilliant... you should see what I am using! Have you tried cucumber and strawberry slices in water? My daughter, the nurse, sometimes flavors her water for work with them.
Tanna said…
LOL! I'm wishing I were sharing a Dos Equis and the most interesting man in the world. Wait, it is only 6:23 AM... but, he IS the most interesting man in the world. LOL! Whatever you are doing, I hope you are having great fun, Kathy. blessings ~ tanna

Another great post Kathy!

c)Dos Equis ...and I drink it with the most interesting man in the world

Seriously? I heart that household of yours.

And I'm glad to know that the Chicago area is having some kind of aggravated fruit fly season as well as the Bay Area. I like the Cider vinegar + dishwashing soap (makes em stick) combo in a shallow plastic container. They have been haunting the office space as well. I appear scary and twitchy, swatting at the air about me. Have a great weekend!!
