I have only questions today.....I'm not sure of much of anything other than I will sleep in my own bed tonight....

Should I knit another beret? I have an entire skein of Ella Rae extra in those dreamy ocean colors. I decided Yesterday when I had no questions, that I was done with the lace scarf in Ella Rae. Today potato chip knitting is begging me to cast on another beret.....

Should I have a gum graft. What? That came right outta left field! My mom is slipping a teensy bit, so today's conversation jumped around just like that.....I think I'm still in stream of conscious mode....
The periodontist says yes. Ever had a gum graft?

Should we adopt little Beatles? The poor doer kitten? This is a ridiculous question. we know we will. Come Monday, (it'll Bea alright) he'll be freed from the bedroom upstairs with his siblings. His siblings, one of whom is the pensive little Sweet Tea pictured above, will go to their adoptive home. Come Monday......I'll be a foster failure.....and I'll have a little black kitty for my October decorations....a living centerpiece.....sort of...with the coolest green eyes.

There are no silly questions and all that now that school is back in session for the real world right???

right! there are no silly questions.
Don't know about a gum graft.
Sometimes we get hooked on knitting something and want to knit it forever, lol. Well, not really forever. but I've found if I want (feel like) knitting something, I should "just do it" 'cuz I'll obsess over it until I do.
Cute kitten by the way.

DH has had two gum grafts. Not fun, but necessary.

I'm not surprised Beatles is going to stay with you. I'm thinking you've had a soft spot for him from the very beginning.

Congrats. You're not a foster failure; the heart knows what the heart wants.

Can't answer any of the questions. No decisiveness happening here.

Of course you know you can't keep all the animals you foster, but what's wrong with keeping one? As long as you know your limit.

No to the gum graft.

Owning a black kitty is good luck, so of course it's a no-brainer question :)

As for the gum graft - I think if doctor says yes, and you can afford it, consider it a necessary evil :( I've never had one, but my dad has.

1. I love seeing your berets!

2. My sister had a gum graft,and while it hurt to begin with, it saved a lot of future (and more expensive) problems - as many of the commenters here have indicated, if the periodontist says yes, you probably should.

3. You know your limitations. Adopting a cat is a big responsibility that will be with you for many years - not unlike a child. But as you foster cats, I'm sure you already know that. I am assuming that being in that environment, you understand that it would be awful to commit to what you cannot handle, and end up returning him to the pound. But... assuming that you are ready for the leap - a cat is always a happy addition to a home!

why would you be a foster failure, if you are giving it a home, that makes you a winner in everyway!!!

If the gum graft comes in spearmint, go for it.

Just stop before you get to six. The fur increases exponentially after two and the cat politics change. (also ditto to what Grace just said)

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
