Who Needs to WIn an Oscar? Look what I won!

I love a knitted headband. I won this gorgeous green headband from Allison at Perknitous blog fame. I had a black coat for winter....but I just so happened to find a 300 dollar coat for 99 dollars in .....green. So I bought the coat to match my headband win....

I learned fireman's Meatloaf tricks tonight. He is the best meatloaf maker we know. Everyone wants his recipe. Seriously. I don't think he would have shared the secrets unless he had the little Beatle bug kitty sleeping on his lap. He talked me through it. It is all about the kneading of the beef and the breadcrumb ratio......
I honestly thought we were done long before he said we were.....keep kneading it, keep kneading it. Really? My hands and fingers were oh so freezing too......

Maybe if I wore my new winter coat and headband while I made the meatloaf......I wouldn't have been so cold....

That is a REALLY beautiful headband. I like the sounds of a green coat too.

I am not a fan of meatloaf though. I think the Knight is craving pizza, but I have two teleconferences, so he's going to get take-out pizza.

I love it--buying a coat to match a headband. That's the best excuse I've ever heard!!

I love meatloaf and have never been able to make the good stuff. It's always better when someone else makes it. I will try the kneading tip and see if it turns out better, but I'm thinking I just make lousy meatloaf!

 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...
