I'm feeling all empowered and shit.
Just told off the former love via e-mail and his reply was an apology. Yesterday, I (half) threatened to shake a geek who works on a site that's been giving me fits. He e-mailed this morning and gave me their address. I think it's the power of being happy and having cookies.
That or they know I've got a wicked case of PMS going over here. *L*
Is that a better photo? I can't even tell anymore.
Notice how one ankle looks cute. Well... for an ankle. The other one, at the weird angle, looks fat.
This is why the women in my family always stand the same way for photos*. We know how to look like cute thin ankles. Or something...
Shut up.
I am test knitting my pattern in a solid color yarn. So far, so good. I'm going to type it up and beg someone to read it for me because making sense is not my strong suit.
If it makes sense, it will either be posted tomorrow with a single sock or Saturday if I can cranky out an even pair.
Btw, if I can manage a pair of socks in three days while writing a pattern, I will be expecting a national holiday in my honor.
Just sayin'...
* Imagine the Lennon Sisters in formation. No, I am not kidding. Shut up!
LOL! I just love reading your posts. I have never considered my ankles when trying to stand in a picture. I have much more offensive bodily features I guess.

sure, you can have Monday's national holiday if you like. Cookie day sounds much better than labor day. (but that's only if we see the socks as proof!)
wow - go you! tres impressed that the man apologized, my ex - bf would just leave if I called him out on something. hence, the ex.

I was named after one of the Lennon sisters. No kidding.
I think you should have a national holiday in your honor for getting a man to apologize.

dude boys know how to apologize and you know the secret to make them do it?? There should be a monument for you !! ;)

I second the notion that you should have a national holiday in your honor for getting a man to apologize. DH and I have managed to stay together many years, but it is not because he knows how to apologize. Rarely, anyway.

I think you deserve the national holiday for having the bravery to speak out on ankle appearance. On second thought, you get the national holiday for socknitting and pattern writing, and a whole month for ankle appearance awareness.

LOL.The Lennon Sisters? Really?? That's HOT!

If you need help with the pattern proof reading, let me know. :-)

I expect it will be National Cookie Day on Monday. Men apologizing, sock patterns, terrorizing geeks....cute ankle shots...it just has to be a Cookie-day on Monday. *g* If you need a reader, I'm willing.

2 faced ankles? Is that like the Seinfeld episode?

Keep that email and start selling it on ebay. You'll make a fortune ;)

Cookie, my hubby just said to me "sorry love" and I said "about what", he said "don't know, it is just for next time I say something stupid". LOL. He was reading your post with me, hehehe.
I think we should have Monday as Cookie day...sounds much better than Labor Day :)

National? How about International? Everyone wants to celebrate Cookie Day. The whole world will eat sock shaped cookies while watching the big Geek Dropkicking game on TV and the holiday special "He Admitted He Was Wrong" on Cookie's Eve.

Hormones? I bet Squidette could give you a run for your money ...

Oh, there's so much here. Where to begin...
There's nothing like a good TELLING Off to cheer one's day. Or shaking a geek. That could be a new sport! I'm telling you!
Those socks are great and repeat after me..."I HAVE GREAT ANKLES. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ANKLES"
I mean it. Nothing. perfectly good ankles.
