Confessions


I like plain bread, you know the unhealthy kind, especially toasted!  But then there are lots of foods I love that are not the best, we will not mention french fries and chocolate chip cookies.  I'm still adjusting to cooking and meal planning for two people.  Yesterday was a "big salad" (think of Elaine's salad from Seinfield) with this delicious loaf of bread from the bakery department at the local grocery store.

Other confessions that you might find interesting:

-I will randomly sing Broadway show tunes out loud or in my head, today I'm stuck on Wicked- "For Good"
-I am looking forward to the snow we will be getting (you might know that already)
-I like the kitchen to be tidy before I sit and knit
-I go through phases of which mug is my favorite
-my best ideas are before lunchtime
-like a toddler, I get cranky near my bedtime
-I always taste my vegetables first at dinner
-I have no sense of direction (zero)
-to compensate I walk to the right when shopping in malls.  I end up at the beginning eventually.
-I'd rather read written directions than a map, but I'd rather read a knitting chart than written directions!
-I believe I'm right most of the time and hate to admit I'm wrong-but that is so rarely ;)

Have a lovely weekend and if you're on the east coast I hope your shovel is ready!!

    Your confessions made me smile, especially since I see myself in a few of them. :-)

    I doubt you are ever wrong. Although I am not a huge fan of bread (or so I try to convince myself), I do so love chocolate chip cookies. And the smell of baking bread cannot be surpassed (except for maybe bacon). And how I wish we were getting some of that snow here in northern VA. My kiddos so very much want snow and I do too.

    You've inspired me to do a similar post today. I sat down to type and had zero inspiration. Thanks! :) (I think I'm right most of the time, too...don't we all?!) ~Lisa

    I also have absolutely no sense of direction, and favourite mug phases. Show tunes too, only I am more likely to sing them out loud :)

    I counted seven items on your list that we are the same! Oh, and white bread with butter is the best, I can't eat it any more, but I do remember the taste.
    Enjoy all the snow headed your way.

    Love bread.
    Like a tidy kitchen before I can do anything.
    I have a feeling we are not getting any snow this year. I am pretty sad, as I love it too.
    Have a great weekend, Tami

    Hrm. I don't think we'll be getting snow down here on the southern east coast. But I'll smile into the breeze coming through my open windows and think of you! (:

    And bread? I like bread. All bread. Any bread! Well, any bread that doesn't have chunks of fruit or nuts - that's just freaky.

    I was mentally ticking off similarities in my head as I read along. I especially like the singing show tunes in your head. I don't do that. Mostly because I'm tone deaf...even in my head! ;) Enjoy your snow and your weekend! Mix it up and drink from EvErY mug this weekend! xoxox

    Of course you're never wrong! Enjoy the snow. But if you get tired of it, send some to Colorado. We need it.

    Such a fun post, I too like the kitchen to be tidy before I sit down to knit. Have a great weekend.

    Ha, I get cranky when I'm hungry ;) And I need the kitchen clean before I start cooking. That means it's only clean for 5 minutes before I make a new mess. I wish I'd clean up earlier so I could at least enjoy it for a bit...

    ha hilarious. Why walk to the right? Me I'm all over the shop and am directionless in my ideas, wherever the urge takes me!

    I love it. I am also bad at directions. I do better with landmarks than maps. That bread looks delicious!

    I need some of this snow you're all getting over there!

    Lovely post ... in this house we have a tendency to randomly talk with silly voices ... I think we've listened to too many episodes of The Goons!

    Hope you are enjoying the snow. We are a bit jealous down here, no big snows for us yet, just little tiny ones.

    Love your list. I am with you on the bread, especially toasted with real salted butter...mmmmm.

    I had to smile a little. Since we are at the mercy of the top hits radio at work, I usually end up getting bits of One Direction and Taylor Swift stuck in my head. Nothing more embarrassing than a 40 year old singing "we are never, ever, ever getting back together" but it happens.

    funny, cute and good to know about you.
    I won't serve you wheat bread or infer that you are ever wrong.
    Your sense of direction can't be worse than mine. I am chronically teased about it and it pisses me off.
    Let's never go on a trip together alone or we won't make it back.

    Bread - toasted and dripping with butter. Yum. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken :)

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
