HI,
IT IS I KW.
I AM SURPRISED THAT LIMENVIOLET HAS NOT PUT OUT ANOTHER POD CAST. I MAY BE GOING THRU LNV DT'S. :(
MY OCEAN INFATUATION, (BY YARN BEE), SCARF...WELL.... I DROPPED A STITCH, AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RIP BACK----UNTANGLEABLE SNARLAGE OCCURRED, SO MY KITTIES 3 GOT A NEW WUZZY CAT TOY....SIGH-HEAVILY!!!
SO, I HAVE STARTED ANOTHER SCARF IN INFATUATION, BUT THE COLOR IS RATTAN..GREEN, BROWN, ORANGE, PALE CREAM, YELLOW-ALL IN FUZZY DELIGHT!! :) EVEN BETTER, I SCORED IT IN A SALE AT HOBBY LOBBY ABOUT A MONTH AGO-$8.88 YARN FOR A MERE 1 DOLLAR!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEE!
USING THE SAME SIZE 15 CLOVER NEEDLES WITH THE CAT TEETH DENTS ON THE KNOBS...NAUGHTY PUNKIN!
WORK--I HAD TO WRITE AN 11 PAGE DENIAL LETTER AT MY JOB, CAN YOU SAY THE MAJORITY OF 2 DAYS WORK!!! (I AM A HOSPITAL CASE COORDINATOR AND I DEAL WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND TRY TO GET THEM TO PAY OUR HOSPITAL!!). WELL, I HAVE TO HAVE A JOB TO SUPPORT MY KNITTING HABIT! ANYWAY I HAVE 4 DAYS OFF!! IN A ROW!!!!- WHEEEEEEEE!!!
HOME-OUR SQUISHWASHER IS BROKEN AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, APPARENTLY IT HAS BEEN LEAKING....CAUSING WIRE FRYAGE, MOTOR RUINAGE, AND 3 TRIPS BY THE REPAIR GUY TO ESTABLISH WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.....AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!..SO WE HAVE NO HOT WATER IN THE KITCHEN.....AND COLD WATER FROM OUR SINK LEAKS ONTO THE FLOOR....NICE!!!!
BOOO-HISSSSSSS :( :( :(
FOOTBALL WIDOWHOOD-THE RAZORBACKS PLAYED AND WERE TELEVISED SO I HAVE LOST MY SWEETIE TO THEM....GRRRRRRR, BUT THEY DID LOSE, SO I AM SAD FOR HIM....
ANYWAY, NOW THAT THE WEATHER HERE IN ARKANSAS HAS FINALLY STARTED TO COOL DOWN, I AM SURE THAT OUR SUMMER RESIDENT HUMMINGBIRDS WILL BE HEADING TO MEXICO SOON WITH ALL OF THEIR FIESTY NEW BABY BIRDS IN TOW-WE STARTED W/6 BIRDS AND NOW HAVE AT LEAST 15 IF NOT 20!!! SWEETIE TWEETIES!!! AROUND OUR TWO HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE A MINATURIZED SET OFF OF "THE BIRDS"!!! ONLY FASTER, AND NICER, AND MUCH MUCH CUTER!!
WELL, WILL GO FOR NOW!!
