I love you Mommy Dearest!!!


I have been outed. My family and I went to a July 4th BBQ at a friends house. The neighbor every year have a HUGE fireworks display. I can't even remember what my daughter was asking me for but the timing was just right for when I respond with "How do you ask?" I want my children to be polite and have good manners....please....thank you....is that too much to ask for? What does my daughter respond with? "Please mommy dearest?" Like I said the timing was just right...right between the fireworks and EVERYONE around me heard her. Granted, I don't beat my kids with wire hangers...I just won't respond without the right response. It was so funny. Sometimes I think my kids are seals and I need to train them. Sometimes, I just don't realize what sticks.

Awesome Cookbook


Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon has become my newest favorite cookbook. Ever since my husband, the love of my life, was diagnosed with diabetes, I have been on a quest to change our eating habits. This book is so informative that it makes my head spin. I guess I will just have to start with Chapter 1 and make my way through it. This is one of those many, many books that I have added to my collection that will stay with me forever. I honestly do have alot of books in so many topics that I really need to start weeding out the non-needed or used ones.

Inside Out Socks...DONE!!!!

I finally finished my first installment of the 2007 Rockin' Sock club!!!! Just in time, too, since my third installment just arrived today. I'm only a little bit behind. Of course, I didn't do a swatch and they ended up being too big for me but perfect for my hubby. Here he is modeling them for me.

Why do they still need to look like penis socks? From the bottom of the foot, it doesn't just look like A penis...its looks like a double sided one.



Luckily he loves them and now I have found my niche with him. He's a big boy that conducts alot of heat so sweaters were out of the question. But custom made socks...a big hit. It took me about 5 weeks to make them but that is with working on 4 other projects and playing my virtual life of WoW. I put the pedal to the metal this last 1 and a half week period and got them done. What a feeling of accomplishment finishing a project gives you!!! Its been a while since I've done that. I have replaced its spot in my bag for a child pair of socks for my niece that I started a LONG time ago. Why is it that I can think of at least 2 other projects to cast on for?

Well, I'm of to finish spinning some yarn for Alachia who just started knitting and finished her real life quest I gave her. Hopefully , that will be done this weekend and can be sent off with some goodies next week.

What is this world coming too?

Its been a while since I watched Current TV...I think i'm going to have to start watching it again.
