Comedic Knitting - Guest Blogger Kate

Kate was kind enough to take my knitting, for the blog post. Zach was buying a tshirt between acts at Second CIty. If you visit Chicago, I would say it is a must. Oh, we laughed. and laughed. and laughed some more. Kate is holding my muffin beret. Thanks Grace for the yarn swap yarn. It is the most delilghtful berry color.

Did any of you see the bit on television about a new way to lose weight invovling rubber bands on your back teeth? The European study showed that people lost significant amounts of weight by having to take very small bits to eat.
SO

I'm declaring it WEE TINY BITE WEEK!

I'm going to take wee tiny bites all week! I've already started and it is amazing how full I feel this way. I made myself eat some popcorn one kernal at a time. While I knit. Using a spoon to pick up my kernel, thereby avoiding the need for a napkin.

So WEE TINY BIITE WEEK begins. Any joiners? We could send rubber bands to each other in a swap............to put on our wrists and remind us to take those wee tiny bites.......c'mon join me...

Really? Rubber bands? Sounds like those would get yucky pretty quickly. Smart of you to get around that with will power alone. Wee Tiny Bite requires small batch baking and eating with espresso spoons!

Sounds easier than what I've been doing for the last 3 months. So far I'm 15 lbs lighter, but it's been the hard way. ;)

Love the pic from Second City. I went there as a college student in Chi-town... I agree - it's a very irreverent and totally hilarious place, a must visit.

That is a very interesting idea, and I can kind of see how you could feel full if it took as long (or longer) to eat because you were taking wee bites. I will let you know how it goes. That yarn looks more like fuschia than berry to me; very pretty.

Wee tiny bites? Not for me... I'd rather walk 3 miles a day ;-)

Having had braces as an adult I'm still too close to the ouch you get when one snaps ... I think I'll sit out this round and grouch about not getting to drink a beer at the ballpark this afternoon (stupid work, who needs it, anyway?).

Who's your favorite Cubbie, all time?

Having a rubber band on my back teeth wouldn't help me lose weight. I'd start drinking milkshakes!

I'm so in! Do you have cable? Are you watching "I can make you thin" on TLC? The 4 golden rules are 1. When you're hungry, eat. 2. Eat what you want. 3. Eat consciously. 4. When you're full stop. His version of eating consciously makes you put down your utensils between each bite. It totally works! No shoveling it in. You're full so much faster!

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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
