Things I'm Loving

By -
First off, I loved your answers to my Meme yesterday.  I laugh at the same commercials you do!  
I'm so not a fan of pointy shawls.  I LOVE how this one is tied however.   Must remember this.   
 I'm a bit bored with my diet so I tried a banana baby last night.
MMMMMM.  Dark chocolate.  If you believe Diana they are 4 points.  If you calculate on weight watchers they are 6.  So how about 5? 
 This dinner from Skinny Taste was surprisingly good!
Ground turkey, peppers, olives, onions, spices and tomatoes.
It was very filling and quite tasty. 
They call it Turkey Picadillo. 
Al had a cold in Minnesota.  I began to feel it on Saturday and I decided to try this Zicam.  SUCCESS!  I barely blossomed into booger badness!  I was very good about using it every three hours for five times a day.  Wow, I hope this was not a coincidence. 
IT really worked.  

Finally, I'm not loving my shrug anymore. 
I know I know. 
I knit on it all through the Minnesota drives.
I would guess I knit a good 10 hours on it. 
I am just not feeling  the love.  
I didn't frog it yet.
I did start a infinity cowl with some of the yarn though.
I can't wait to get back to it today during my sit time. 

Tried anything new lately? 
Want to share/?

I'll have to take a look and see if our grocer has those banana babies. They look tasty!

Trader Joe's carries a similar banana/dark chocolate treat - but they are slices of banana coated...so you can eat a bunch of them!!! They are yummy.

I do love how that shawl is tied. Very interesting. Zicam has been a real life saver for me the last few years.

That does look nice, the way the shawl is tied.

I've never tried Zicam. Hm.

Let us know about the cold med thing if you get another one and it cures that too, how wonderful to be able to stop a cold! Don't think we have anything like that over here yet. Enjoy your new project! xx

I totally think the Zicam works! I have averted a nasty one several times!
I am working on a bind off right now; not sure what's next.

Ha, isn't it true that you've got to "feel the love" to continue a project to the very end?!

I love those banana things. I am hooked on chocolate covered mango bars and need to restock the freezer asap.
New? Hmmmm....Oh, yeah. I just had some green rooibos tea from Adagio that I've had here forever and it was delish. Who knew? I am not a fan of regular green tea but this was good.

Those banana things look yummy. I've tried Zicambefore but didn't think it helped. I may have to get some again and have it on hand. I used the nasal spray though and not the swabs. I'm still working on mittens. Mittens, mittens and even more mittens!
Blessings, Betsy

I am a dark chocolate lover, not that I would kick milk out of the kitchen if you know what I'm saying. I'm glad you fought the cold and won. I am dedicated to the war on germs here. The ick nast traveling around is just gross. People have been snotty, gross messes and now we have the allergies to contend with. At least they keep saying they are allergies, but I look at them all very skeptically and keep the Purell close by, ha!

I love that shawl but am afraid I would feel like I was choking if I tied it on like that. Yum with that dinner, and good news about that cold product. All my patients are sick, have been for weeks but I am still holding strong.
Hugs,
Meredith

bummer about falling out of love with the shrug, but it happens to me sometimes as well. I hope you fall in love again :)

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...
