Finished Socks!

My knitting seems to be in a bit of a lull right now. Need an exciting project (yarngina anyone?). I did finish the socks I am going to give Lorraine for her birthday (a couple of days late for the big day). Her ankles are much skinnier than mine so they should fit her just fine! Why the designer named these "Sequoia" socks is beyond me, my legs are like tree trunks and they don't fit me that's for sure...

Dream Job...

For reals! This was in today's newspaper:
SLEEP STUDY
WSU Spokane Sleep and
Performance Research
Center. 14-day in-laboratory sleep research study, pays up to $2,235. Must be healthy, non-smoker, 22-40 years old, with normal
sleep schedule.

I'm out because 1. I'm old, and 2. my sleep schedule in no way qualifies as 'normal'. But I totally would do this if I could!

I lost 5 lbs! Yay!!! Amazing how well Weight Watchers works if you actually follow their plan

I'll Take "Potent Potables" for $1000...

OMG dream come true! I just got an e-mail saying on-line tryout tests for my FAVE game show "Jeopardy" are coming up. I have to try! I know if I ever got on, all the categories would involve math and geography and I'd be one of those losers who end up minus a zillion bucks, but if the categories were movies, books, or knitting, I'm in like flynn.

When we were kids, B-Z and I sometimes ended up down at Rosaia Bros. together. In a desperate attempt to keep her grandchildren occupied so she could actually get some work done, Toddie let us use her typewriter. B & I created the fabulous newspaper "Bits of Fairy Business". God, I would give a million bucks to have an edition of this (I'm sure!) masterpiece of the news world.

I think it also involved a lot of glitter and whatever stuff we could find to paste on. I don't remember whether our news content was actually about fairies and their doings, which would have made a rather short newspaper since I don't think either one of us ever actually SAW any fairies around. But I'm guessing we made up a lot of fairy tales. No wonder I love reading The Star!

Rascal!

LOL! Logan has discovered Sharpies, evidently. At least she didn't color a pirate's beard like Alex did.
