Not So Simple Woman's Daybook Entry

By -

 Outside my window- Fireman is cleaning the bbq grill.  

 I am thinking- this kitten baby will knock your socks off. 
She's being bottled by the vet at the shelter.  Repeat after me: I will not bottle kittens. I will not bottle kittens.  I might bottle kittens..


In the kitchen -we are out of milk. 

I am wearing a new shade of nail polish: Opi 57
or lavandar. 

I am creating -a book of things I will learn to sew someday, and this Ruffled Tote is in it. 

I am going- to ride my bike today.  I really really am

I am wondering- how I got so lucky as to win Bookwyrms book give-a-way.  !!!

I am reading -Real SIMPLE magazine.  Maybe this should be the Real Simple Woman's Daybook entry. 

I am hoping- the pulmonologist can help Fireman with his cough.  

I am looking forward to- more Blackhawks games and the Stanley CUP!

I am hearing-how to fix your hair for summer on a TV segment.  Messy fishtails are apparently in..

Around the house- the windows are all open and the breeze is wonderful 

I am planning-our trip to See AL soon
and maybe Channon too!

Quote for the day: The more you love your decisions the less you need others to

One of my new favorite things:- 
Knitting Bingo.  I had some knit pals over. 
I asked them a few questions each before they arrived.
I used a BINGO creator with their answers to make the cards.  
Some of the words were: 
koigu, encore, pink, 
Grey's anatomy, The Middle

(you get the gist) 

WE played.  We laughed. BINGO!
The prize: Red white and blue cotton yarn


MY Plans: More mizzle shawl. 

Peek into my day:
I think you just did!

Sounds like a wonderful day!! I love the ruffled tote and I love lavender nail polish! The kitten is so cute! I wish I could bottle feed him. Just look at that little paw with baby claws. Is he/she a new foster?

LOVE that you did a daybook post!! They are fun but they make you think!!

I also love that knitting bingo game! VERY good idea for a group get together. That kitten is adorable and very hard to resist. I've considered it but I'm afraid I'll end up keeping all the babies. How do you hand off a kitten you've kept alive?!? And I'm jealous of those open windows! My heat index is 105. I'm sitting in my room with the a/c chugging along.

Hope you do more of these!!

The kitten is too cute , I might accidentally bring him home with me if I worked in the shelter . We' ve been really lucky with the animals that 'found' us . Jut lost the best dog ever , I miss him .

Love your quote of the day , I should put that up somewhere on my house .

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford is a local boy . He's getting lots of support from the community , signs up everywhere . It would be nice to have the Stanley Cup pay us a visit ....

Did you stay up to watch the game?

I did. It was really hard getting up this morning, especially since I was morning the Bruin loss. :-(

Oh. The kitten. Oh.

(And. . . although, over the years, I've become a Red Wings fan, I was raised a Blackhawks fan. Go 'Hawks!)

That kitten is adorable - I wouldn't dare bring home a bottle baby, but it's tempting.

Knitting bingo sounds like fun.

You are so much fun, I wish you lived right next door. A peek into my day was work, cleaning and a trip the the DMV to renew my license, I was only there about 35 minutes, a record I think.
Hugs,

I still want to learn to sew well enough that I can say that I sew.

Fish tails? Braids?

Cute kitten.

I think Sissy will need a bath before you meet her.

Cute kitty! Just had to take a hard walk away from some up for adoption the other day. I can't do more than 5. Can't. Can't. Can't.

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...
