so the past few days i’ve been getting super hungry right at bedtime.
stomach growling drive me crazy hungry.
but it’s bedtime, and i’m already tucked in and nearly asleep.
so i don’t eat.
and then in the morning i wake up STARVING.
my eating habits haven’t changed at all. what the heck? maybe the hot weather makes your body digest more quickly? argh.
testing testing - anyone still checking in on my blog?

Ask me seven questions. Not just any seven questions though. No, to keep it interesting, use the seven questions as per below - just copy and paste the following, replace the blanks with something you want to know/ask (e.g., 3. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), anything you want, personal, silly, surreal or deep, comment away and I’ll answer honestly as I can! Then post this on your own blog and see what kind of things people want to ask you!
1. What do you think of _____________?
2. When did you last ____________?
3. __________ or ___________ and why?
4. What did you ______________?
5. What’s your favorite ______________?
6. How would you ______________?
7. Who would you most like to ________?
just felt like blogging this morning. i have about 25 minutes before i have to head out the door for work, and instead of washing the dishes (the kitchen is a disaster) i thought i’d blog instead. i’m back home shortly after 1 - and i’m pretty sure the dishes can wait until then.
so we’ll talk what’s new in my favorite list format.
1. i had two whole days off this weekend, sunday & monday. (usually sunday is the only full day i get) it was nice nice nice not to worry about when i had to wake up. mostly the weekend was fine. and some of it wasn’t fine. but i’m fine and taking everything in stride. very adult-ish of me.
2. i bought yarn and a new knitting book over the weekend. LYS was having a sale, so i bought 8 skeins of Misti Pima Cotton & Silk, 2 each of 4 different colors, thinking it’s a good seasonal yarn to knit things for the shop in Rockport. i’m starting with a baby blanket. i’m interested to see if it will sell (and also to see how long the knitting takes me). the book i got is The Knitter’s Book of Yarn which is very textbook-like and is so down my alley in that sense. so informative, pretty patterns, and written by a chick who lives in Maine. doesn’t get any better than that. needless to say, it was fun to buy yarn, even if it isn’t necessarily for me in the end.
3. also managed to find the newest Harry Potter movie at Best Buy for only 12.99, so i bought that too. we have all the others, so we “needed” to get this one, too.
4. i think hub is going out with some friends for a bday celebration tonight so i’m getting my fill of alone time today which is honestly heavenly. i think i’ll splurge and get a big subway sub for my lunch & dinner. and i think also i will try to block a couple projects today. it would be good to get them into the ‘no seriously it’s completely finished’ category.
5. i’m counting points again. i’ve decided to be a serious stickler on weekdays and take it easier on the weekends. i’m interested to see how it goes the first couple weeks, if i lose any poundage that way. the way i figure, WW is supposed to help you figure out how to eat healthfully and balanced…and if my habits are to mostly be eating great and sometimes not, that’s normal, right? kind of balanced? we’ll see. my body is actually really happy to be eating every couple of hours…and the biggest change (it’s been a week) isn’t really adding in fruits & veggies & whole grains & whatnot (those habits stuck from when i’ve done WW in the past), it’s getting rid of the cookies & chips & bad foods that i LOVE SO MUCH. the second day of counting points last week i found myself COMPLETELY BORED because i wasn’t chewing on anything. how lame is that? hub’s been kind enough to abstain from buying snacks to help me stay on track.
6. i have to go pack my snacks for the morning at work now. and pack up a load of laundry to take with me. adios.
for this meme by my brother-in-law Marc…
so why not break out the old blog and do it between nose-blows and sneezes and chest rattling coughs?
Here is what I am supposed to do:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.
The nearest book is Atonement by Ian McEwan (I haven’t read it yet - I hope these few sentences don’t ruin it for me).
Here are the appropriate three sentences:
No one could know the extent of their disappointment.
“There, you see,” Leon said. “Briony’s hot headed decision.”
Wow - intriguing.
(Wow - the sarcasm emanating from me right now…)
back to blogging.
i haven’t looked, but i think it’s been since december??
well - there’s no real excuse.
ebbs & flows of interest i suppose.
but here i am now, and what better reason to blog than not wanting to get up and take care of the things on the list (kitty litter, vacuuming, thank you notes).
so what’s new with me. not so much really. hub and i have this way of plodding through our days with nothing seriously remarkable happening. i think we’re both waiting for an opportunity to do something exciting. but exciting things seem to cost more money than we have.
number one item of interest: bff hannah is pregnant again and she and chuck are expecting baby #2 in september, same week sweet penelope was born, on hannah’s birthday.
in knitting news: i’m avoiding finishing things. what else is new? i have a big basket of items started, or nearly finished, or somewhere in the middle. but this week i started and finished a pair of socks. that’s new. i haven’t knit a whole pair of socks in a couple of years. they’re nothing super special - basic toe-up with 2×2 ribbing for the cuff. i just need to weave ends and they’re offically completed. and just now i finished a swatch for another pair of socks. maybe socks will get me back on track to finishing things. i’ve been kind of uninspired lately, i think because my stash is dwindling, but so is cash so no new yarn for lisa. maybe in the next couple weeks.
in spinning news: no spinning. no excuses there.
in work news: i’m back to working two (sort of three) jobs. and i’m almost at 40 hours a week. so far i’m doing okay with keeping up with housework and other things. i hope i can keep that going. i feel really lucky because a lot of babysitting time is free time because the baby naps while i’m there - so i get to use that time for knitting or what ever else.
in day to day life news: got my oil changed this morning. they told me i have an oil leak somewhere, and to check my oil levels every couple of weeks. at this point (mileage is at 194,000) it’s not really worth fixing.
(i think i’m a really boring blogger.)
i’ll try to post pictures of something (anything) tomorrow.
