What Year Were You Born Under
| You Were Actually Born Under: |
Resourceful and practical, you are a quick thinker.You are very observant – and it’s hard to get anything past you! A total perfectionist, you are especially picky about looking your best. You’re a big dreamer – such a big dreamer that reality can disappoint you. You are most compatible with an Ox or Snake. |
| You Should Have Been Born Under: |
![]() You’ve got a ton of energy – and need plenty of room to roam. You tend to follow your whims, and it’s hard for you to stick to one thing. Specific jobs, loves, and friends are always changing and never a part of your life for long. Very intuitive, you tend to know what people are thinking before they say a word. You are most compatible with a Dog or Tiger. |
donut quiz
| You Are a Boston Creme Donut |
![]() You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you’re a total pushover and completely soft. You’re a traditionalist, and you don’t change easily. You’re likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it’s sold out. |
My other option was a “What kind of sock yarn are you?”
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?
well, since I’m going to be up at 4:30 AM PT all week
figured I’d might as well get up this morning when my eyes popped open like little sprockets this morning at 6:34 AM.
(why is it that I wake up early on the weekends?)
Anyhoo, I dreamed about knitting all night. Not really specific dreams about knitting, but that I was knitting during all the other happenings in my dreams.
They say that if you dream in a language you have accepted it and have learned it (to an extent I guess, I KNOW I will always have tons to learn in French, not to mention German, which I still can only order coffee, beer and tell which trains are only arriving on Thursdays (or some such nonsense.).)
Does that mean I have accepted and learned knitting? I haven’t even tried the step yet. I just watched the DVD (and have perused more knitting stores for cable knit cardigans that you can imagine.)
Oh and speaking of the bag I need to schlep all my yarn and pokey needles around in (oh, that fredlet, she’s a subtle one sure enough.) I want one of these bags with the wooden handles that the little old ladies used to carry… (there’s another auction up in a couple days…) failing that, I want one of these baskets, and if I still need something more portable, I might reuse one of those triangle bags I got in Paris as a shopping bag. Either that or a Timbuk2 bag.
They have a couple new ones, but frankly, their totes might be worth a looksee.
Obsessed much?

When its 17 degrees, that’s when it hurts to breathe.
Housewife Chronicles: “When I got up this morning, it was 0 degrees out. It was so cold, that the boogers froze in my nose and my jeans hurt my legs the two block walk to the building that I work in. I power walked in, almost sprinting, and my lungs hurt from all the cold air.”
I’m going there.
Fear (for) me.
I’m going somewhere not as cold next week, but in the general vicinity (read: the middle of the U.S.) and will have to survive a business trip 3 time zones away WITH NO STARBUCKS.
I want hazard pay.
or a pony…
nah. I want the hazard pay.
eco thingies
dumber than a box of rocks:
“And one of the things that I used to covet was the little glass ecosystems.”
“Ooooohhh. I’m jealous.
Weet got one of those ecosystem thingies…”
Tex said, “Oooooh”
I said, “I always drooled over those…”
“Yeah” Tex said, “You’d kill it.”
“Yeah, I would. But isn’t it pretty? And then you could ask me if it was dead!”
Please note… censorship is not a part of this blog.
My advice to the people who interact with me or who have in the past: if you don’t want me to blog about your bad behavior and my crankness about said behavior, don’t behave that way.
This is MY journal.
You have no right to object to my emotions (even if they don’t match with your revised history that makes you look like a saint) and no right to ask me not to speak of things you have done.
I have refrained from saying things in the past as certain people have requested, but when the same folk use my own journal (with my negative comments omitted) as evidence/arguments against me; then the deal is off.
You low-life scumbags.
Those tactics don’t endear.
In fact, it makes my ulcer kick in and I’m not nice when I am doubled over in pain.
Consider it fair warning if this campaign continues.
In fact you can take this as notice to get the hell out of my life. I’m better off without passive agressive, manupulative and amoral people such as you.
Eden’s Knitting Blog: One-night-knit: Back-pack, back-pack
Eden’s Knitting Blog: One-night-knit: Back-pack, back-pack: “So Z has decided she actually likes one aspect of ‘Dora The Explorer’ and it’s the backpack. She likes the pack, she likes when it talks and she loves the song. She sings it out of the blue for no reason. The rest of Dora? Meh. But ‘back-pack, back-pack. Back-pack, back-pack…’”
So I have it on good authority that Z is a Leo (with a Sag mom).
I didn’t think it was a Leo trait to be bag obsessed… maybe it is. Or maybe, since I have a Sag mom as well that’s a combo that Kramer needs to investigate?
things NOT to eat together… part 47
peanut butter cookie and diet black cherry vanilla coke
knit
I found a “how to knit” kit at Target on sale (my two favorite things to say together!) and the thing that makes this different than all the other “knit kits” out there is that it has an instructional DVD and needles (granted, I’m sure they are a crap fest, but I don’t know any better.. I’ll be sure to be snobby about it further on down the road.). The yarn is ugly and I don’t even want to make the pillow they describe, but it does list a bunch of different patterns to learn, so its ok.
Perfect thing to take on my trip. I even checked online to see if they wouldn’t take away my plastic needles at the airport security.
Frankly, my taste in clothes is probably more of a security issue than those plastic-y things.

(and frankly, the first thing that I thought of about knitting was “what bag should I cary my knitting around in?”)
sounds dirty, doesn’t it?

I’m drunk right now…
CNN.com – Study: Waking up like being drunk – Jan 11, 2006CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) — If it takes a while to clear the cobwebs after waking up, that’s understandable — “sleep inertia” leaves some people so groggy they might as well be drunk, researchers said on Tuesday.
“For a short period, at least, the effects of sleep inertia may be as bad as or worse than being legally drunk,” said researcher Kenneth Wright of the University of Colorado at Boulder.
