Mystery Yan Ball and Friday Fillins

I received my Mystery Yarn Ball, doesn't it look fun. It came with a mystery pattern that has to be completed to get to the center of the ball. Guess what I am doing tonight?

I got up on time this morning, put on makeup and went to work, even though my hip was killing me (story tomorrow) and when I got there (only 10 minutes late) the internet was down. 95% of the work I do is related to the internet so that meant that I couldn’t get jack done, even though there was a deadline that had to be met today. I hate to wear makeup and that fact that I actually put it on and ironed the clothes I was wearing just ticked me off, especially since I had to sit around waiting for them to fix the problem (it was not fixed after 2 hours) and then drive home and put on my slug clothes (yoga pants and a t shirt) so I could get my work done. Sometimes work just isn’t fair, if they had told me that the internet wasn’t going to be up, I could have avoided the iron and the makeup and still got my work done. lololol Despite this whining, I am very grateful to have my job.


1. Anonymous...is a crappy way to lodge a complaint, if you have something to say, own it.

2. Knitting is an activity that enhances my calm.

3. Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course. W. Shakespeare lolol

4. The sun is what I look forward to most about Spring.

5. Who needs therapy when there is chocolate and knitting.

6. Reese's Easter Eggs MUST go into the Easter Basket!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to nothing but sitting and knitting, tomorrow my plans include cleaning house and knitting and Sunday, I want to work outside in my garden!

Happy Easter to those that celebrate it!

Spring, Knitting, and Friday Fillins

Happy Spring to everyone! It was a gloomy day here but at least it was warm.


I finally finished the Mystery Yarn ball for my pal; I hope she likes it, there are some snacky goodies, reading goodies and reading goodies in the yarn. I had to re-roll it a couple of times and tangled the yarn and made a mess, but I eventually got it corrected, so not it is wrapped and ready to go in the mail. I hope I don’t have as much trouble as when I tried to mail stuff to Canada last time. Penny likes pink, so that is the general theme of the thing and it looked awful, (how do you wrap a book, etc. in one skein of yarn?)

I am still slogging away on the sweater of many stitches, I am glad that it is started with an invisible cast on, it will make it easier if I don’t have as much done as I am supposed to when I go to class on Monday night. I am loving the whole thing, I am just a slow knitter.



1. Why do we have to act grown up all the time?

2. Reading, knitting, and eating chocolate are now habits.

3. I have a zillion projects that I want to get to, however. . .

4. I had never heard the phrase "not the brightest bulb in the box" and it cracked me up the first time I heard it(and perfectly described the person being discussed).

5. I guess I will go clean the litter box, the way I always do.

6. How was I to know that I would have to work when I grew up.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to dinner out with my daughter, tomorrow my plans include chores and knitting, and Sunday, I want to knit and read!

Have a great weekend!
