It Was Meant to Be a JOKE…

…and a way to knock another half skein or so out of the stash.  Seriously, a Cat in a Hoodie?

I found the pattern here, and adapted it by knitting a rib band on each armhole because I didn’t have enough dark brown to make whole sleeves. Yarn – Cascade 220, gold colorway and Pattons wool, brown colorway.
 
Now all Bob needs is a clock on a chain and some shades.

Today's Workout – in Just a Shirt!

Angela PeaLeave a comment
HA!  Made you look! Of course I was wearing pants!  “Just a Shirt” as in, just a t-shirt, no fleece layer, no windbreaker.  As in it is currently 67 degrees outside! As in this…

 

is how absolutely gorgeous the sky is today!

I really did help dig…I put the shovel down
for a minute to pick up the camera.

That tree?  The week before Snowmageddon, we had a Tree Planting Party at work.  We planted six oak trees, six red buds and three elm trees on the east side of our building.  I planted the tree in the picture above.  Well, actually, my teens and I dug the hole – several of the guys in the office put the tree IN the hole. I couldn’t have lifted it without renting a piece of construction equipment.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Chickies!

Conversations with the Inner Brat – Weigh In After the Storm

Angela Pea3 Comments

It’s Weigh In Day.  Which of course means Olivia starts in the moment I woke up this morning.

Oooooh!  You’re going to get it!  You have to step on that scale today!

Yes, Olivia, I know. And by the way, we’re going to walk to the meeting.

WALK?  Are you nuts?  It’s cold! Really, really cold!

Not cold enough to stop us, Olivia.  Besides, the sun is shining! Isn’t it grand?

Yeahbut, last week you didn’t get any serious exercise except for Monday because of the ice and snow.  And you ‘indulged’ in a lot of treats.  Like Italian Wedding Soup.  And tortilla chips.  And beer!

I know, Olivia.  That’s why today we’re facing the music, embracing our defeat.  We’re stepping on that scale and moving on.

As we’re waiting in line…

Just tell the nice lady we don’t want to weigh in today.  Just to listen to Terri, share with everyone else and discuss the topic.

No, Olivia. I’m taking off my shoes right now.

[She Steps on the Scale.]

 Zero.  No loss, no gain.

     We’ll take it.
