2. Never. I go to bed an hour early and read until I'm sleepy while Bill sleeps soundly beside me with the lights on.
3. I had cake on Dec. 15th when we celebrated birthdays of our three boys born in the same month--SIL and 3rd and 4th son.
4. I want to knit sweaters everyday! I have to force myself to put my latest sweater aside and knit something else for a while.
6. Never but I am in love with the heated seats in the car so I can imagine how the radiator feels.
7. Last month when a family member passed away. One of my New Year's commitments is to write more letters this year.
8. I haven't stubbed my toe since we got our new bed. The legs just don't reach out and grab me like the old one.
9. I stood on the scales this morning and I had lost a pound. Woohoo!!!
10. I talk to myself and to the dogs all the time. I don't want to ignore Max when he talks to me!
2- Stayed up late just to knit - two nights ago while knitting on a shawl.
3- Had cake - I can't remember.
4- Wanted to knit a sweater - about two weeks ago, but not for myself.
6- Sat on a hot radiator to warm up - it's been YEARS.
7- Wrote a letter? - about three weeks ago, and it was a genuine handwritten letter.
8- Stubbed your toe - hmm, I can't remember.
9- Got on the scale - just this morning.
10- Got caught talking to yourself - can't remember when someone actually "caught" me, but I do it all the time.
1. I can't remember. All my knitted gifts seem to disappear. Does the dog count?
2. The night I tried to make headway on son's cardi so I would have it at Christmas but I soon realized it was futile. It is slow going.
3. I had fruitcake yesterday. I feed it some brandy and had a chunk. It was good.
4. I always want to knit a sweater but I am terrible at it. I have yet made one that really fit.
5? 6. Not since I retired. I sat on the ones in my class all the time. I loved having a hot tushy in that cold room.
7. I wrote a New Year's letter to a penpal in Latvia. We have been writing back and forth for over 20 years.
8. No toe but I jammed my thumb today turning the knob on the car radio.
9.I never weigh myself. I don't want to know. If my clothes fit, I'm okay.
10. I talk to myself all the time. It's the only way I remember anything.
Saw me today wearing my red shawl and hat.. but they were crocheted. :-)
2- You stayed up late just to knit
I don't crochet or knit late.. I do it when there is good light and I'm not tired out.
3- You had cake.
Fruitcake for the holidays.
4-You wanted to knit a sweater
I don't think I've ever thought of doing such a complex knit project. But I did knit a fair isle poncho out of alpaca in creams, browns and blacks that I spun myself.
6-You sat on a hot radiator to warm up
I've never hung out where radiators were used.
7-You wrote a letter?
I hand wrote my xmas cards and thank you notes using a fountain pen and pretty ink.
8-You stubbed your toe
2 months ago on my spinning wheel leg.
9- You got on the scale
A few weeks ago. Ouch.
10- You got caught talking to yourself
I don't do that much as there is always someone here to talk to.
P.S. I love the idea of Monday Memes! Thanks for thinking them up.
Hugs,
