The last few projects I've finished: a chicken/egg toy, a rabbit toy, a "happy poo(p)" toy and some ambivalent pee and a fertility doll. Seems like a pattern to me. I'll have to get some pictures- I understand some of those things might be hard to imagine in yarn form.

I've been reading Trixie Belden- she's like Nancy Drew, but less cool I suppose. The books were written starting in the late 1940s and continued on for a while I suppose- there are 38 or more books. I used to read them when I was a kid- I think my mom used to read them when she was a kid- and she bought them for me at garage sales when she would find them.

They are so wholesome- all the kids are super nice boys and girls- who also happen to solve mysteries. I don't know if I know what's going to happen from the beginning because they are very childish stories or if I somehow remember them- I'm sure I read most the 38 available.

Back to Trixie- I have the first three books and #10. I think I'll look for the last book in the series so I will know how it ends- no use reading them all again! :)

Your Result: 100% Texan

100_texan_sm_profile

You have scored the highest Texan percentage available. Your mother should be proud. Go ahead and call her, I'll wait. Anywho, go eat some chili, ride a longhorn and pick some blue bonnets because Texas is just that great. PROUD TEXAN!!!!!


HA! Take that!

Now I have to go to Walmart for a victory lap!

Actually I guess on about 1/3 of the question . . . Where is Big Red bottled? What is the state bird? What city is Blue Bell ice cream made in? I don't know, I just eat the ice cream and make sure the birds don't eat my dog.

I just had an epic battle with a hundred million roaches.

hyperbole

I won of course, but it was disconcerting none-the-less.

Good thing the bug guy is coming tomorrow.

They were all in the dining room- weird.

I'm gonna blame it on the neighbor.

Why else would I have roaches in the dining room but not the kitchen?

Eww- I have to go wash my hands again.
Martha Stewart's dogs have their own blog.

I'm just saying.

Do people actually have time to read what somebody thinks a dog would write if it had, you know, thumbs?

It's difficult to comprehend.

Martha's dogs have a higher readership than most blogs I'd guess.

I showed my grammar class a picture like this one and said, "Who is this?" They came up with "White Snow and the seven short people."

Yeah- that made me happy. I should ask those types of questions more often, but they do lead to long conversations about dwarfs and midgets and human growth hormone . . . bother.

The colors are a bit off from the true- it's really hard to take a picture of that red for some reason. Must be haunted. MATER IS WAITING FOR YOU!

I crocheted myself a tomato- turns out he's not psychotic at all. I tried. I made him one giant-crazy eye. Then I thought for sure he needed two giant-crazy eyes, but when I put them on they weren't right at all. One giant crazy eye was slightly larger than other giant-crazy eye, they didn't look right with or without eyelids . . . so in the end my little tomato got two cute little embroidered eyes- like monkey eyes. (If you can imagine.) That wasn't enough so he also got a cute little button nose. What a cute little innocent tomato- like the tomato next door. It's too dark to take a picture.

I also finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today. Very dramatic. I also went to Goodwill. I bought three dresses two skirts and six dog toys for about $35.00. What a deal.
