The Good, The Bad & The Ugly #2

January 24, 2006 By Carole

Good: Having 32 people sign up for the Buy More Yarn program! I thought I might have 10!
Good: Supporting yarn shops through this endeavor.
Bad: Competing against the likes of Risa, Dave and Aunty Nin.
Ugly: Writing all that freakin’ html!

Good: Receiving a sheep ornament from Margene for hanging on Lucy. Lucy loves jewelry!
Bad: Having Mason notice the spinning wheel for the first time!
Mason_Wheel.jpg

Good: Winning Mim’s mannequin naming contest and having her send me one of her home made books! It’s so pretty.
Bad: Forgetting to take a picture of the book so I can show you. But you can see it here, on Mim’s blog.

Good: Stephanie’s Olympic Knitting program. I think almost every blogger in the universe has signed up for this one.
Bad: Committing to knitting Lisa Lloyd’s Cable Moss Vest as my Olympic Knitting Project. I read the charts and instructions last night. Yikes.
Ugly: I’ll be lucky if I get a tin medal, never mind the gold.

Good: Listening to Sirius EZ on the way to work and hearing Barry Manilow, which made me think of Cara and Vicki and Ann.
Bad: Hearing Pomp and Circumstance on Sirius Pops. I love the piece but it always makes me cry.
Ugly: Remembering just exactly how long it’s been since I marched through a football field to that music.

Good: The ladies at Dunkin’ Donuts have my medium black coffee ready for me every morning.
Bad: Dropping my medium black coffee in the parking lot at work.

Good: Playing Dance Dance Revolution with Hannah, Jessica, Patrick and Dale.
Bad: Having to wait my turn.

Ugly: Dale’s attempts at playing this game. The man dances to his own drummer, if you know what I mean.

Good: Homemade cookies from the Superintendent of Schools
Bad: Earning the homemade cookies by recommending her for a new job.
Ugly: Eating the cookies for breakfast.

Good: Meeting a bunch of new bloggers at Claudia’s last Sunday.
Ugly: Keeping up with my bloglines subscriptions now!

    Ack! I’ve done the “dump your coffee in the parking lot” trick more times than I care to remember. Its a crappy way to start the day.

    Fun post! Commiserating with you on the bloglines. Just too many good blogs out there. It’s not fair. 😉

  3. Chris says

    January 24, 2006 at 10:00 am

    D’oh! I was going to add that I love the picture of Mason noticing your spinning wheel ornament. My friend Jan also has a cat named Mason… and another named Dixie.

    NICE list!

  5. Kate says

    January 24, 2006 at 10:21 am

    Great list. Dale looks so funny on the DDR. I move to my own drum so I know his pain.

  6. Snow says

    January 24, 2006 at 10:43 am

    B loves the new Mario version of DDR that came out this Christmas. He also loves laughing at his mother’s attempts to play.

    Re: the bloglines issue. I am supposed to be conducting a job search, but I may have to get my fiance to block the bloglines site for me for a while, or I’ll never send out a single cover letter. I have heard such good things about DDR–and it looks like you all had a blast!

  8. Lolly says

    January 24, 2006 at 11:11 am

    Wow – I love DDR. Such a fun game. I have not played it in awhile, but I wanna pull it out again now 😉

  9. margene says

    January 24, 2006 at 11:14 am

    Ack! Barely Manlyo would be in my bad and ugly section.
    Life is full of the good, bad and ugly, eh? But I think I see more good in your list than anything else.

  10. Beth S. says

    January 24, 2006 at 11:37 am

    I refuse to accept that cookies for breakfast could ever be a bad or ugly thing. 😉

  11. Mindy says

    January 24, 2006 at 11:39 am

    My son has been asking about DDR since his older cousins got it at christmas. I think it would be a hoot to play.

  12. Laurie says

    January 24, 2006 at 1:45 pm

    Lol in several places…spilling the coffee…cookies for breakfast…yes, yes, and reading the directions AFTER setting up the project? Being blown away by same? Yes.

    January 24, 2006 at 2:12 pm

    Mason looks just like my kitty!

  14. Dave Daniels says

    January 24, 2006 at 2:26 pm

    Thanks, those pictures of Dale dancing really cracked me up! I needed the laugh today, and THAT did it. What a hoot.
    And the anti-stash? Heh, I got me some fleece, baby, POUNDS of fleece!

  15. Risa says

    January 24, 2006 at 3:54 pm

    What a great post. C’mon, stash up:)

    ok, next claudia party, you have to bring the dance revolution game.

    and i actually cringed when i read you had dropped your full cup of coffee. what a waste of good coffee. so sad.

  17. sandy says

    January 24, 2006 at 4:23 pm

    You are wonderful. In fact, one big part of the GOOD column!
    🙂

  18. La says

    January 24, 2006 at 7:41 pm

    What a gorgeous kitty! Be thankful that Dale doesn’t do the Hippo Dance from Disney’s Fantasia, which I have been known to do. It’s not pretty, that…

  19. ann says

    January 24, 2006 at 10:40 pm

    only you and Cara would put BM in the good category!

  20. amanda says

    January 25, 2006 at 9:58 am

    Fun! I love Dale doing the Dance Revolution thing.

  21. Jess says

    January 25, 2006 at 8:43 pm

    Oh.My.God. That is too funny. We have DDR too but I hide the camera before I play ;o)

  22. Kristen says

    January 25, 2006 at 11:23 pm

    I love the picture of Mason and your wheel – he looks very determined!

    It was good to see you this past weekend. At one point I saw you across the room and thought to ask you how the lace was coming along, but by the time I got near I’d forgotten. I do enjoy seeing pictures of it’s progress but wish I’d seen it in person!

  23. celticknitter says

    January 25, 2006 at 11:38 pm

    You have a Siamese cat too!!! How wonderful!! I have to lock my yarn away . . . and I really mean lock it away .. . or else the cats really get at it.

  24. Kathy says

    February 2, 2006 at 3:38 pm

    What a fun post!!! And I just about cried when I thought of how long it had been since I marched to Pomp and Circumstance, too. Sheesh.
