1.  I’ve been eating Lean Cuisines these past few days.  Thought a few less calories may do me some good.  By combining them with a big ol’ bag of potato chips I seem to have missed out on the desired effect.

2.  I have combined…..

    a. Dana being out of town thus causing me to be a "single parent" for a few days
    b. Big sale in the shop
    c. Upcoming trip to my mom’s (and trying to pack aforementioned trip)
    d. Spinning a big hunk o’ wool so I could enter it in the fair
    e. Trying to knit a pair of socks with a deadline

all to be accomplished in three days and thought this combination would not result in me being snippy, snappy and snarky.

Not smart.

3. Speaking of the hunk o’ wool….

Wool was divided equally and spun onto 3 bobbins

These singles were then combined to form one skein of yarn (actually a little more than one but I quit after one.  I’ll ply the rest after I get back home).

This is a DK to worsted weight yarn.  I’m entering it in SAFF.  If I make a fool of myself…. so be it  (see snippy, snappy and snarky above).

4.  Combined grouchy child in bed, plying singles and watching Pushing Daisies.  Result? Heaven.  Best line?  "Pappa needs yarn money".

5.  When beautiful yarns and a coupon code combine you get a busy shop with happy customers.  Squee!  We’re busy but I’m glad to be busy.  I even stocked up the shop just a smidge… we got another batch of Dream in Color Classy and I put ’em up in the shop this evening. 

6. Saw some lady on T.V. saying if you want chocolate just eat it.  (I think it was the lady who wrote French Girls Don’t Get Fat…. or whatever that book is called!!) But eat rich chocolates, dark chocolates, etc and you won’t eat as much.  Tried this for 3 weeks.  Knitting Wannabe + Dark Chocolate = headaches.  DRAT.  So… decided to try to combine things like Lindt milk chocolate truffles and Rocheres etc and see if since they’re rich I could stop at just one, or two… or five.  Result? No headaches.  But I ate a whole bag of Lindt truffles in a day.

Not good.

7. Newly potty trained child combined with driving 8 to 9 hours in a day… this could get messy.

8. Combined some of Anna Grace’s speech lessons for home with driving around town today.  We were discussing the functions of things (body parts) and I was quite pleased to see that she could answer most of my questions. 

I asked…. what do you do with your mouth?

She said….. I eat with it.

I asked…. what do you do with your feet?

She said…. I walk

I asked…. what do you do with your hands?

She said…. I wash them.

I asked… what do you do with your nose?

She said… I pick it.

Oh dear!

9. I’m thinking of snagging some laceweight out of the shop and combining it with another "snag"…. the Flower Basket Shawl pattern from Fiber Trends. 

10. Fall weather, combined with mountains and fall leaves, combined with llamas, and sheep, and alpacas equals happy, happy, joy, joy.

We’re heading to SAFF.

Toodles, Y’all!
