This is Natasha... She is the sweetest little kitten you could ever have the pleasure of knowing :-) She is shy, so it is tough to get a picture of her...
Everyone seems to have a special feature that their blog is known for, whether it's yarn, stashes, patterns or whatever... Here is my idea...
The new feature is going to be called "Hold my beer and watch this..."
Most of my family still lives down in the South. Drinking in the South is a pretty common thing to do... After a few too many beers, there is usually one person who says "Hold my beer and watch this"... This is usually last thing the person says before they become a candidate for the Darwin Awards. We have noticed that we live in a part of the country where there are some folks who say and do some not so intelligent things...
For some reason, there has been a recent rash of folks saying and doing some pretty dumb things, so I am starting the feature... Do you have a story that would fit that has happened to you? Feel free to email me and I will post it :-) We all need a good laugh every now and then...
Knitting in public... Yup, I got some strange looks today for my KIP escapade... After my hubby and I went out for brunch at the Tamaya, he wanted to go over to the Santa Ana Casino to play a little blackjack... I am not a big fan of gambling. I don't think it is wrong, but it isn't something I enjoy doing. Hubby asked me why I don't like to gamble... I told him that if I had the choice of sitting at a blackjack table and losing $20 during that time or using that $20 to buy 2 hanks of Lorna's Laces sock yarn, the sock yarn wins hands down :-) Well, he decided to go play some blackjack and I followed him... The table wasn't busy, so I sat next to my hubby, took my Jaywalker out of the knitting bag and continued to work on the sock while sitting at the Blackjack table. He started having some bad luck, so I took a couple of chips and played for a bit while I was knitting on my sock... Knitting socks at a blackjack table WILL get you some strange looks. After a few hands, I left the table and went into the bar and continued to knit while hubby played some more blackjack... Knitting is wonderful! You can take it anywhere and work on it... Bored? No prob, pull out your knitting...
After we got done, we did a little shopping. I got a bigger rubbermaid tub for my sock yarn :-) Now, all of my yarn fits in one place :-) We also got a featherbed mattress topper for our bed. OMG!!! I had experienced these in hotels I had stayed in while on business trips (especially the Westin). I didn't know you could get these in a store... Yup, my shopping is usually limited to 2 - 3 times per year because I have run out of jeans that fit, need more shorts or need sheets... (Now, yarn shopping is ANOTHER story...) I put the featherbed on the mattress and felt a big hug from my bed... I think I am going to bed early so I can just lay there :-)
