10,000 Things You Didn't Know About Me

By -
I am kidding. I will, however, list a few if you are so inclined to read them this morning!
The Tin Man was out shining in all his glory in Lincoln Park . (at Oz Park yesterday when we went to get Zach from DePaul.) If I only had a heart.....
*I love the Wizard of Oz. I lose it every time the Scarecrow and Dorothy say GOODBYE .
*I knit this little hat in Berroco Comfort leftovers for a friends Charity hat drive. I did a seed stitch 2x2 brim, then a simple stockinette in the round, juxtaposed by a row of purling every so often, and topped off with a umbilical cord top.
*I could probably vacation the rest of my life in Wisconsin and be content.
*I am the 4th of 6 children. Middle girl.
*My favorite knit patterns are the simplest.
*I'm not a fan of KNITTING WITHOUT TEARS. (gasp!)
*I have a cell phone that I almost never answer....
*I've never conquered my coca-cola addiction.
*When I want to relax before falling asleep I think about knitting
*I can sleep anywhere, anytime. I think this is a result of never sleeping when my kids were little. I Felt anxious and constantly on guard for their lives....
*I only like home grown tomatoes.
*I didn't eat salad or vegetables until I was 20.
*I could exist soley on bread and butter.
*Circular knitting often hurts my wrist, but double points do not.
*I leave many many more comments on others blogs, but I rarely read all their comments for the day.
(there are a few exceptions)
*I speak Spanish well enough to get medical information across. I cannot tell you how to get to the airport, however, in Spanish.
*I have a water-filled pillow.
*I love naming animals. (Elaine and Babka have turned the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think they will make it)
*When I go out for breakfast I order meat and potatoes. Ie: Hashbrowns and a side of ham.
*I have never gotten drunk. I could though, on champagne.....
*I worry too much about being productive.....somedays I try not to plan a thing and let the day evolve...
*I am thinking of a 10,000 comment gift.....I hope I can write a pattern for you all.
I have written the pattern for the COMMENT CAP, if you would like the pattern just ask and I'll send it to you in the comments. !!! Thanks Chan for the nudge. *

hmmmm - 10,000 things - some are very interesting.

I adore circulars and use them almost exclusively. But then I don't have trouble with my hands (thank goodness - type, sew, knit).

Hat is adorable. So glad to hear the kitties have turned a corner.

Love this post, I feel like I know you so much better. I never slept when my kids were little and I still have trouble now. The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie, well that and To Kill A Mockingbird. My husband is from Wisconsin and I have lived there twice, it is soooo beautiful. I love to knit simple things and I just bought yarn today!!!!
Have a good workend and Happy Mother's Day.

Darling Hat!!

Love to hear interesting things about my favorite blogging buddies. You don't answer your cell phone??? I'm too afraid it might be one of the kids and they might need me!

I too could live on bread and butter as long as the bread is not plain old white bread.

I also love to name animals AND inanimate objects (like my car and Kindle).

Good news about the kitties!!

The tinman would fit right in where I live! I live outside the home of Frank L Baum - the author of the Wizard of Oz! The streets in the town are paved with painted yellow bricks! They have an OZ parade which draws thousands to the tiny little village. We have always had the "real" munchkins attending as well.

Yippee about the kitties!!!!

I have never thought to write about things you didn't know about me... it's a bit like baring your soul.
Recently I have been thinking about writing down 60 things to do before I die. What do you think?
Glad to hear the kittens have turned a corner!

Loved this post! Very interesting tidbits. Yep. Wizard of Oz - still scared of those flying monkeys! Sound of Music is my undoing.

Love it. When I was a small child, we went to my grandparents' one night to see the Wizard of Oz in color for the first time (and I got to stay up late for it!) They had one of the very first color sets.

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...
