I've Been Tagged

Checking my e-mail this evening, I noticed that I have been tagged. We all know my thoughts on chain letters, etc. I don't forward chains and am probably cursed for eleventy million years. That said, I won't actually tag anyone, but would love for you to tell me if you decide to 'get tagged'.

I was tagged by Neeley Notes and asked to list 10 weird things about me. My problem is how can I narrow it down? Here goes:

1. I can make one eye cross at a time (left or right, I'm an equal opportunity eye crosser).
2. I knit a womb for a friend who needed a laugh. I made the cadillac version and included a squeaker for added effect.
3. I love Guitar Hero (80's version of course!)
4. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to knit.
5. I teach kindergarten (not so much me being weird, but they can say some pretty weird things)
6. My son thinks I'm completely normal.
7. A fun evening with my hubby is when we are in charge of the score clock and book at wrestling tournaments.
8. I have a cat named "Bonkers"
9. I have a dog named after my hubby's favorite beer.
10. I think everything about me is completely normal (considering I don't know the definition of the word).

So, tag, you're it...but only if you want to be, no pressure.

Oh Honestly!

Seriously, what year would I have had to been born in to actually enjoy this era? I could be my grandmother!

You Belong in 1958

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?

What did I just say?

I had to call several members of my family recently. I can't believe I said it. It's something I wasn't prepared to say to my 5 year-old son. It just came out.... Are you ready? Are you sitting down? You'd better...








Here goes.....












"Don't put Play-Doh in the toaster, again."












I wasn't mad. He told me he was trying to dry it out faster. I completely understand. It makes total sense. He's pretty clever in fact. I just can't believe it did it! I called my hubby who is in D.C. at the moment to tell him it ranks up there with the time he was two and put plastic spoons in the VCR. I'm so proud.




On a side note....Did you know that white toasted Play-Doh resembles a toasted marshmallow? Seriously, it does.

Tips for Taking Care of a Newborn

In honor of my new niece being born early this morning, here are just a few tips for first time parents/child care providers.

My hubby and son decided to take me to Omaha for my birthday. Hubby, on his own, looked up the names of the yarn shops in Omaha and took me to browse/purchase on my special day! What a treat.

It pays to respond to tags...

Ok, I was tagged and put the previous post online as a result but required zero participation (didn't want to seem pushy). Well, my OC tendencies have finally paid off people! My dad read the post, noticed I liked his cinnamon bread and is making me 2 LOAVES! Honestly, this is turning out to be a great day.


On another note, did I mention to anyone that I like cash and fabulous yarn as well? Just curious...
