Housework Makes You Ugly

Lately I’ve been getting a little bored with the same old crochet. I’ve always wanted to learn to knit, and I’ve recently discovered Tunisian crochet, which is a melding of the two, so I’m now thinking that might be a good stepping stone to full on knitting. There are so many websites and books out there, I’m not really sure where to start. Tunisian Crochet: The Look of Knitting With the Ease of Crocheting by Sharon Hernes Silverman looks promising. I just added it to my Amazon wish list, and maybe I’ll get around to ordering it some day soon. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress (assuming there is any).

He didn’t like the casserole
And he didn’t like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard…
Not like his mother used to make.

I didn’t perk the coffee right
He didn’t like the stew,
I didn’t mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and smacked the shit out of him…
Like his mother used to do.

I’m not sure who wrote this, but it’s awesome! My mother-in-law emailed it to me and I just had to post it.

In one of the craziest elections in American history, he overcame a lack of experience, a funny name, two candidates who are political institutions and the racial divide to become the 44th President of the United States.

This makes me happy.

I finally got my free Obama Victory Sticker from MoveOn and was pleasantly surprised by the size and quality of the sticker. My first impulse was to stick it on my laptop. Instead, it’s sealed up in a plastic baggie. That thing could be worth big money someday!

I just found out my Amazon Kindle finally shipped, after a couple of weeks of (im)patiently waiting. I’m so excited to start reading my books on it.  I’m hoping it will seriously cut back on the number of paperbacks I have lying around the house. Viva la technology!
