I have been neglecting ye olde blogge these past few days. I am tired, slightly cranky and not very chatty. Daylight Savings Time has brought out a beast in me! I feel out of kilter.
Tomorrow I am going on an excellent field trip and expect a complete reversal of spirits. I am hopping on the train – along with Ricki and Peggy – and going into the city to see these ladies. Cara and Wendy will be there as well – and who knows who else!
Expect full blogging to resume on Thursday : )
that friend I mentioned earlier? well here’s what happened during a long and somewhat confusing conversation about the new HBO series Big Love, the show about polygamy.
I say something or other about the Bill Paxton character ….
she says, “what do you mean, the Bill Paxton character?”
I say, “I can’t think of his name, but the husband, the guy Bill Paxton plays”
she says, “Do you mean it’s not a reality series???!!”

One of my friends sometimes calls me a banana head – and now she’s sending me emails from here. She had the moneky wearing a nightie!
I have crazy friends.
I really must be a banana head!
Let’s start with some knitting ….. above is a picture of my latest sock project. Do you see the camera hog pug in the bottom left corner? I am working on the Oak Ribbed Sock pattern from Nancy Bush’s Knitting Vintage Socks book. Margene gifted me this book – signed, no less! – during our Pal exchange and I am loving it. thanks Margene!!
It is nice to break out and try a new sock style. I found I was becoming a tad stubborn with the thought of doing a different heel. I like the traditional S1K1 heel pattern and was being obstinate about trying anything new. I figure I like the way it fits my foot, why change? Which calls to mind the old adage, “The difference between a rut and a grave is the depth”. Well, this pattern has a French Heel and a Round Toe. I am using Trekking XXL – this particualr Trekking has a definied striping pattern.
Onward to some exciting things ……
SPIN ON SPIN IN SPIN OUT!
Saturday, June 24th, 11AM
Central Park (exact location TBD)
Cara and I are planning an outdoor get together! How about we take our wheels out for a spin? Let’s all flock to Central Park …… RSVP over at Cara’s site – knitters are welcome too!
And now an abrupt ending to this entry because it is 70 degrees outside and I want to get out there …… in closing, if you have asked yourself if I have seen this:
Ann read this!!!
I say
yes, very funny you guys!!!
thanks to Nancy for the marquee fun! She may have been joking when she came up with this little gem, but I think everyone should institute the Ann Alert System ….. it will certainly streamline my blog reading! : )
