Double Post DAY: Carole's Ten on Tuesday

By -


I just had to join Carole's Ten on Tuesday prompt. 

Ten Things I'm Happy About RIGHT Now:

*I'm happy to be knitting socks again.
Side by side socks. 

*Im happy I learned how to read magazines on the hand me down NOOK my daughter sent to me.  
I have almost all of REAL SIMPLE 2014 to catch up on.

*I'm happy I stopped reading David Sedaris' book, 
Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls. 
I liked the first few chapters. 
The next few, not so much. 

*I'm happy to have my own shawl that was given me upon retiring from nursing.  It is perfect for this drafty old house today. 

*I'm happy to drinking a little Coca cola this afternoon.
I love soda.  I limit my intake. 

*I'm happy the TV is off for a bit. 
Fireman is reading instead. 
A Civil War book. 

*I'm happy to join Carole's prompt. 

*I'm happy The dental receptionist didn't scold me for how long its been since I saw them.  I was ready for a scolding. 

*I'm happy that my neighbor gave me a great big wicker basket for my family room.   It is big enough to hold 3 afghans. 

and finally,

*I'm happy that Alex Trebek  is leaving JEOPARDY.
 I find him pompous.  But I love the writers of the questions.

Since I don't have cable TV anymore, you surprised me with the last tidbit about Jeopardy.

Wow, I don't know if we can be friends anymore. Alex T and my family go way back ;) I'm just kidding. I love your 10 on Tuesday posts and seeing what is moving in the Kathy B. brain. I think it's time for me to finish some book, one book and pick up a pair of socks. xoxo

I hadn't heard that Alex Trebek is leaving Jeopardy! I think he's a pompous ass too! (Although I think you left off the ass part. Ha-ha.) I wonder how Jeopardy will be without him. Guess it depends on who his replacement will be. Sounds like you are quite happy today. Hope it continues for you. ♥

Love your 10's!! Most of really do need to sit back and be thankful for what we have, I know I'm sometimes guilty of this! I love Real Simple magazine. Our daughter subscribed to it for a gift one year, but it ran out and so I "re-subscribed" just a few weeks ago (they're practically giving them away - only $12 a year) and have already received my first issue and read it cover-to-cover.

I like Real Simple too. I also read AllRecipes every month. Love those home-y, cook-y, clean-y magazines.

Alex is leaving Jeopardy? Did the world just stop turning?

I find Alex a bit weary, although I think my Mother had a big crush on him. Have a great day.
Hugs,

I totally agree with you about Alex Trebek. Of course it's EASY when you have all the answers right in front of you. I will be very glad when he is gone. I think it's terrible how pompous he is.

Hmmm...hadn't heard the news about Alex T. How long has he been at that post???

You asked about weaving in ends on a lace project. Usually I thread the yarn on the smallest darning needle possible and then wind it in and out of the stitches that create the edge of the garment. Then I cross my fingers.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
