Miss List-a-Lot

How about a list?  The brain is a wee overwhelmed and such.

1.  The house (as of this writing) has a contract.  A sale contract.  Inspection today. Squee!

2.  With our history of flaky buyers with our previous house, I’m sure you’ll understand if I’m not totally celebrating just yet…. I’m just waitin’ to see if these guys are going to stick with this or flake out.  I suppose it hasn’t sunk in yet.

3. Spent yesterday looking for houses to rent.  No need to stay in a teeny weeny Casa-de-Cheapo when  you can have space….. beautiful space.

4.  Told Dana I’m refusing to buy a house just yet.   Between the house here in Florida and the house in Washington I’m SOOOOOOO tired of all things real estate.  Need a break.

5. Did y’all see the comments yesterday?  Cool surprise… Dana’s cousin popped in.

6.  True story…. I used to read a knitting blog (Kathleen’s) before I ever learned to knit.  (And I was so silly and out of touch that I thought she was the only knitting blog there was).  I wanted to knit so much but didn’t have time for a class.

7. Then I had Anna Grace and I got this adorable knitted sweater/hoodie from Dana’ s cousin.  The cousin in the comments.  It was handknit and adorable.  I would just sit and look at it, evaluate every stitch, every seam and just wishwishwish I could knit.

8. Five months later Hurricane Charly comes barreling through here, we’re bored and I convince Dana to see if he can figure out the pictures in a "learn to knit" book.  And the rest is history.

9.  So….. everyone wave Hi to Kandee (alas….blogless)…. between Kathleen’s blog and Kandee’s knitted gift I became obsessed that I had to learn to knit.  And now I do… thanks to their inspiration.

10. We have winners for yesterday’s contest.   The theme for the winners is "blogless". And the answer….as I think you realize…. is KIESTER (pronounced KEEster).

11. According to the email time stamp we had a tie for first.  Cousin Kandee (no blog) and Elaine (also….no blog) won for first place.  I have addresses for each.  And each wins an OnLine Supersocke.  If you have a color preference, check the shop and tell me what color number you want.  That goes for you folks that won yesterday as well.

12.  Our random number generator prize winner from yesterday is Blogless in NJ.  (See…. we have a "blogless" theme).

13.  Everyone wave Hi to the winners.

14. Today’s contest prize is some SeaCoast Handpainted Superwash Sock yarn.  You pick the in-stock color you’d like. One skein to each winner.

15. Today’s contest…..

OK all you googlers….get ready.  Dana has a few movie credits.  Name three of them.  Put your answers in the comments.

Prizes: 
1 SeaCoast to the first correct response.
1 SeaCoast to a randomly selected response from all the correct responses.

Bonus prize:  At the very end of your response, name the movie you think is his favorite.  We’ll randomly select a winner from the correct responses.  That person will get a skein of Smooshy! Choose from colors Beach Fog, Spring Tickle, Giant Peach or Visual Purple.

Finally… its a pretty bad picture but…. I’ll get a better one in the coming days.  Here’s AG in her car.

  1. YAY!!

    Does Dana still work in the industry? That is so cool! Tarzan and Mulan was easy to find, but I had to dig a little deeper to find Brother Bear. It is not listed on his IMDB page.
    BTW…when is his birthday? Maybe we’re born on the same day? Mine is the 29th. We might commiserate with each other about the shittiness of having a birthday so close to christmas, LOL.

  2. Tarzan, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, Brother Bear.

    I vote his favorite was…. Tarzan. Because I am sure there was a Gator in the movie, and with Dana being a huge Florida Gator fan he appreciated that :)

  3. Oh the wonders of google:

    Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear

    I’m feeling lucky today!

    As for favorite, I’ll go for Tarzan.
    And wow about Anna Grace’s car! Awesome!

  4. Well I was a lucky winner yesterday. I know that lightning usually doesn’t strike twice, but I’m in here trying anyway.

    I’ll go with Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear like everyone else. Pretty impressive. You said he works for RobotsRUs does he do technical work for them?

    I really love the photo of Anna Grace in her car – no wonder she looks so happy.

    And I’ll guess his favorite was hmmm Mulan. (deep down I think it’s probably Tarzan, but since someone already guessed that, I figure what do they know – I’ll vote for Mulan)

  5. Given the way the real estate market is right now, I hope the contract holds and the sale goes through. But you are right just wait and rent a house with space. In the meantime, you can take your time and look and maybe find a bargain.

  6. That would be Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear. Darn it, why can’t I ever be first? I don’t even peek at the other answers before posting my own!

  7. Hi! The ones I found were Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear! As for a favorite I would have to choose the same as my favorite – Brother Bear! Have a great birthday!

  8. Since I won yesterday’s contest, I was reluctant to try again, but Kris said to go ahead so maybe I’ll be lucky again.

    I’ll go with Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear and I’ll guess that Brother Bear was his favorite.

    Good luck with your house. We’re going to have to put my mother’s condo in south FL on the market and I’m dreading it for many reasons.

  9. My mom said to come over and try today again. I just looked at today’s prize and it’s fab – and my boyfriend lives in Maine (one of the colorways) which I figure must be an omen, right?

    So, like everyone else I think the answer is Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear.

    Now what’s Dana’s favorite (hi birthday guy)? We went on the water taxi in Fort Lauderdale last year and they did a sort of narration. He said that the guy who played the original Tarzan lived in a house on one side of the river, and the actress who played Jane lived on the other, and he would swim across to see her. I think it was supposed to be a joke, but since you live in Florida, I’ll go with Tarzan as Dana’s favorite.

  10. Having an odd name really helps in the search. I also found Tarzan, Mulan, and Brother Bear.

    A really happy birthday Dana – I hope it’s a great day for you.

    Continued good luck on the house sale too.

    And I’m guessing Brother Bear is the favorite.

  11. I love Mulan. We were just talking about it last night as a friends daughter has just gotten into it. Gracie and I saw it in London. I think I double dipped movies that night…could I have seen Titanic that day too? It was a two movie day…Grandma was visiting and babysitting well used. Gracie had this beloved black Barbie…Kursula was or name or something like that. When Gracie got a new Barbie all new clothes were given to the beloved. We found her the other day and she was in Mulan’s dress. :) Gracie and I saw a Mulan show at Disneyland Paris and they were chucking necklaces to the audience. I am not athletic in any way (read spazz) but I stuck my hand up and caught one. It is hanging on her lamp now. :)

    I can’t believe I have left this long of a comment. And I can’t believe you thought mine was the only blog…this is news to me. You are a nut and I love you for it.
