My Favorite Color Is Clean

That's what it looks like here today.  Beyond the dirty white divider thingy is a former farm that's being developed.  Houses and businesses, I think.  It was fields when I was young.  Shut up!  I was young once.  Okay... younger.  :p

More housing for more people.  Even though, there are too many people here now.  Did I mention that I went to the grocery store this morning?  Yeah.  It's holiday shopping season crazy and it's still September.  /sigh

On the upside, the produce man was nice to me.  Although, I think it had something to do with the fact that I used the words "May I please...?" and the fact that I look fairly harmless.  No.  Really.  Shut up!

It's been a bad week and I am very much looking forward to seeing the back of it.  I think the combo of the Harvest Moon and my hormonally challenged state has made everything harder than it should be.  Plus I seem to be a bit slow today.  Slower.  Whatever.

Angie gave me a great idea for a contest.  Guess how many bags of yarn are in the big freezer.  However, I didn't think anyone would want yarn from me right now all things considered, so I gave up on the idea.  Then I realized the prize could have been things to keep moths at bay.  Sadly, by that time, it was too late.  Maybe my brain will be faster than my fingers next time.  It could happen.

I knit the first nupp chart last night for the second time.  I love my Thursday night knitting.  I have high hopes for finishing the Swallowtail Shawl this weekend... assuming I can keep myself from eating my way thru said weekend.  /sigh

Happy Friday, everyone!

Do you like the nupps? I was afraid of them at first, but their cute puffiness entertained me, and plus I felt like I was doing something really hard and was impressed with myself.
Isn't it amazing how a far a little civility takes you these days?

You look harmless.. but then again, you can't judge a book by its cover. :D

Look no futher.. the ass end is here! It's the weekend! And rat dogs need legwarmers. Pink legwarmers. To match the tutu. WAIT! Mallard leg warmers!

This week has certainly been a challenge! Beauty of the moon yet the beast isn't far from the surface...I'm just talking about me. *g* Good manners and language will take a person far these days. I, too, wish more people would practice them.

I love to inspire ideas! I'll have to be earlier next time there's an opportunity.

Farm cleared for development= jen's heart breaking. No farmers, no food, people. Heavy sigh. I wish I could live long enough to see entire blocks of apartments and tract housing developments being leveled to make room for crops. Anyway..

I don't need a prize, but I still want to guess. I'm going to say 48. No yarn, no moth repellents, just a shot at being right. Right now, being right about something would be cheery. Also, with the nupps, just make the stitches impossibly, horrifically big. So big you say, this is waaaay too big, this can't be right. Then when you purl them together they lay all nice and flat and parallel.

*can't shut up* YOU? YOUNG? *cackles and runs away*

But what kind of bags are they? Big, huge contractor bags? Little bitty sandwich bags? Or nice mid-sized gallon ziplocks? Want to guess how many contractor bags we have of stuffed animals?

Yeah, let's blame it on the moon. Sounds good to me.

8
Or 6
Probably 9

September, which really sucked for quite a few of us, is OVER -- Yay!!! Here's to a return to the normal chaos of life.

It's amazing what kind of a effect a little politeness can have since there is so little of it today. Can't wait to see your Swallowtail! :)

Where ARE we going to put all the people in this here country if we keep growing like this?
I hope your week is better than last. Hugs to you.
