It's all about me
Really, It's all about me. But I think we all know that already. KIDDING! A few posts ago I was whining that I was sick of knitting for others, and wanted to knit something for me. It felt like everything that came off my needles was for someone else, other than myself. And really, I can be pretty damned selfish. I'm not going to lie. So after B's crazy socks where done, I casted these baby's right on! Right on baby! Right on!
This is my sock Sunday night, as of yesterday afternoon I turned the heel and was moving down the foot. Damn it feels good to knit for me me me!!
Speaking of me me me, d,knit tagged me for the 6 weird things about me a few *ahem*months*cough* ago, even though I've been tagged for it before. I thought I would give it another go. My first answers sucked a bit the first time, and these are a bit odd
1. When loading my dishwasher the silverware *has* to be facing down. (the part that goes in your mouth goes down) I used to have to have the dishwasher loaded just right way, but I've relaxed a bit.
2. I have to wear shoes. I don't like to walk around barefoot or just in socks.
3. Not so weird, but I talk in my sleep. I've been known to have full conversations on the phone while sleeping too.
4. I have to drink water from a glass, not a plastic cup. Bottled water is ok though.
5. Can not eat soup out of a square dish or bowl.
6. My parents told the maternity nurse when I was born that they where going to name me "Lead bottom moose belly"
Sorry I can't remember the rules to this meme, so If ya haven't done it yet, and want to. Go for it. Let me know so I can read your answers! What? Yes, It is all about me me me, here's one more meme! Mary (kinda) tagged me for 5 things you haven't mentioned on your blog meme (I think that's what its called) This post I remembered to save on bloglines so I could go back to it (ya me!) Here we go
First, the Rules:
Someone Tags you, you post 5 things about yourself that you haven't already mentioned on your blog, you tag 5 more bloggers.
1. I once had a job at a local farm near where I grew up in Massachusetts washing eggs for 1 cent/egg.
2. I once *had* to bake blueberry muffins from scratch in the middle of the winter, my Dad was nice enough to buy me real blueberries. I mistakenly added 3 tablespoons of baking powder when I should have added 3 teaspoons of baking soda. Opps! Dad will never forget that one, those muffins where bad!
3. Mike is 15 years older than me.
4. I used to wonder if I would ever have kids, if I even wanted them. Now that I have them (4 of em!) I would never change a thing.
5. I used to write poetry in high school (come on who didn't!) and had once of my poems published.
I'm coping out of tagging, who ever wants to do it, go for it! Let me know if ya do it! Since it's all about me me me, I'm going to finish off my turtle chex mix, which btw is so.freaking.good, and knit my sock. Me me me!!! ; )

That's funny - I'm almost completely opposite from you in my wierdnesses:
1. The silverware MUST be pointing UP in the dishwasher.
2. I almost always go barefoot when I'm not at work.
3. I only drink water out of plastic cups (more specifically, plastic beer cups from bars in my old college town. Ahem...)

Very cool sock yarn! What is it? Yeah, for knitting for you! I loved B's crazy socks! I think I need to do that for my Nephew... he will love it!

I think it's well time for you to treat yourself to some knitting. I showed my MIL my second hat I had knitted and she thought it was a gift for her, lol. I didn't even get to wear it. And I couldn't tell her "ummmm that's mine", so I was bummed a bit, yet felt good that I made it successfully, lol.

Amanda, please if your going to give out family secrets get them right! It was Lead BELLY, Moose Nose, and the nurse was indignant. "You can't name this sweet little baby that!!!". The look on her face was priceless. and you were Kathline Amanda for about 12 hours.

Love the socks! Good for you! And how funny is your dad!

I really love the color that you are using with those socks. I love strange pink color combinations... and that pink with the green looks so so good.
You know, I'm a sleep talker too... I've been known to do some pretty funny things. DH loves when I fall asleep before him because he knows the entertainment is soon to follow :P
