In order to maintain my status as a knitting blogger let me tell you the following:

1. I have finished the pumpkin hat for my cousin’s son
2. I am almost done the first sleeve of Banff and have one to go!
3. I am mulling over The Sweet and Lowdown Chair from the latest Interweave. Love the way it looks, but have no spot for it and have heard the chair itself is uncomfortable.


You will be heartened to learn that I did indeed put my sorry self to bed early last night and am feeling much better. There was a time when lack of sleep didn’t effect me, but those days are over. **perhaps I should work up a list of things I was able to do in my 20’s that I shouldn’t even consider doing now ….

1. drink more than two alcoholic beverages in an evening
2. do cartwheels into the pool
3. pull all-nighters
4. drive for hours without needing a pit stop
5. put up with other peoples’ crap
6. stand on my head
7. sleep double in a single bed
8. touch the bottom drain in the deep end of a pool

I’m sure there are loads more …. what’s on your list?

  1. Your list is perfect for me! Except that I can’t have more than one drink a night and not more than twice a week…..LOL
    Age can be the pits! EXCEPT, as you age you can tell people to go fugg themselves and not care what they think!

  2. Go clubbing all night, go to work in a staid publishing house in the morning, run to the gym and work out obsessively directly thereafter, and start the cycle all over again. And, I might add, looking fabulous into the next night…Huh! I’m in the “>1-drink=wicked hangover” phase of my life now!

  3. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! Sleep two in a single bed! hahahhahahahah OMG you made me laugh so hard….you hit the nail on the head with all of them….I’m starting my list tonight. I’ll keep you posted ! HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA (#1 I had a pug named Homely Homer…)

  4. I miss skinny dipping. I’d go in a heartbeat. Because one thing I did in my twenties, that I really ought not do now, is appear in public in a bathing suit. Birthday suit bathing after dark would suit me just fine now.
