Tone

By -


I like to keep the tone of this blog humorous for the most part. Clever. Fun. I've found that I need to cultivate humor in order to be humorous. Some of the ways I try to give my humor a good workout include:

(while knitting of course)

*Listening to CarTalk on NPR

*Watching 30Rock

*Reading the comics

*having inside jokes with friends, just based on our history and funny things that have happened.

*being with my Irish side. They are effortless story tellers and so easy to find humor.

*watching old I Love Lucy shows

*really believing that I God has a sense of humor.......

*going to comedy shows and to comedian shows.

In these ways I can find the funny in our everyday or at list the wit in it.

So, I promise you knitting and limericks...tis the season!





I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Oh yes, 30Rock and I Love Lucy. :) And for me, The Office too. And my little kitty, who just cracks me up. Thank you for a funny, entertaining blog that always lifts my spirits.

Oh I can't wait for the limericks. I love Car Talk and am reminded every tax season that God certainly has a sense of humor!

Oh, the bag that is being knitted is not mine. Im sorry there are no good new things to show you when you SLOW knit!

A friend at my LYS was knitting this little bag and I thought the colors were lovely. Glad you all agree. Plus the sparkle of the diamond looks so good with the sparkle of the yarn.

Mmmm...I love the thing you're knitting. Reminds me of raspberry fizz or some summer ice cream treat.

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...
