Three On Thursday

December 6, 2018 By Carole

Today, because it’s Thursday and I need three things to blog about . . .

Today, because it’s the Christmas season and if we’re not careful we’re going to get overwhelmed . . .

Today, because every day is good day to laugh . . .

I give you . . . three memes that have made me laugh out loud this week.

Hope they made you laugh, too!

If you wrote a post for today please include your link below. Thanks for playing along!

Thursday Challenge: RED

February 10, 2011 By Carole

The Thursday Challenge photo theme for this week is RED. I love red. In fact, red is my favorite color.

So I went right on over to Mosaic Maker and made a mosaic of my favorite red photos.

I can’t stop looking at it! It’s vibrant and beautiful and captures so much of my life.

I love it!

Unconsciously

March 25, 2010 By Carole

Entrelac Scarf resized for blog

The Entrelac Scarf in progress. I’m not sure I’m thrilled with the way the purple is pooling but I’ll reserve judgment until I’ve got more of it knit.

She says … and I think … ?

  1. Burrito :: yummmm
  2. Spike :: Jonze
  3. Tougher :: than nails
  4. Mock :: umentary
  5. Slurp :: gross
  6. Knock :: on wood
  7. Conference :: dull
  8. Madness :: Sock
  9. Minds :: Eye Yarn Shop
  10. Connection :: internet

I blatantly stole this from Cookie in a desperate need for blog fodder. I’ll try and be more exciting next week.

A Meme for a Monday

March 15, 2010 By Carole

Tendrils resized for blog

On Mondays I usually talk about what I did all weekend. And, while I did some fun stuff, I don’t have anything really blogworthy to talk about. So I found this 20 questions meme thing and I’m doing that today. I encourage anyone interested to copy/paste and play along!

20 Questions

1. Explain what ended your last relationship?

My last relationship was my ex-husband and he cheated. That pretty much ended things.

2. When was the last time you shaved?

Saturday morning because I was going to get a pedicure and didn’t want the nail tech to freak out.

3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.

I’m answering these on Sunday night so this morning at 8 am I was sleeping.

4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago?

Again, Sunday night, so 15 minutes ago I was drinking a Guinness in an Irish pub.

5. Some things you are excited about?

A new job opportunity. I don’t want to talk about it much yet but I’ll tell you all about it if it works out.

6. What is your favorite flavor of JELL-O?

Red. I guess that’s a color and not a flavor, though.

7. Your prom night, what do you remember about it?

I remember that my favorite song came on and I wanted to dance and my date was in the bathroom. Good times.

8. Do you have any famous ancestors?

Maybe. I’ve been doing some ancestry research lately and it’s really cool.

9. Last thing received in the mail?

The spinning wheel cart set up for my Schacht Matchless. Dale set it up for me today and I think this is going to be just the thing for making my Matchless much more portable.

10. How many different beverages have you had today?

3. Coffee, water, Guinness.

11. Do you ever leave messages on people’s answering machine?

Yes, of course.

12. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?

No. I sat on my ass and I knit when I go to the beach.

13. Any plans for Friday night?

Friday night is date night and usually involves a nice dinner and hanging out at home. It’s my favorite night of the week, actually.

14. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?

Hell no. This is probably why I don’t go in the water.

15. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different popcorns?

Yes, we get them at work every Christmas. They are pretty gross. Someone always eat it, though.

16. Do you re-use towels after you shower?

Yes. I’m not a fan of daily laundry.

17. Describe your keychain(s)?

It’s a yarn ball made of silver.

18. Where do you keep your change?

In my change purse. Where else would I keep my change?

19. When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group of people?

I went to a meeting last week with about 9 people, is that large? I speak at Kiwanis on a regular basis and that’s  definitely large. I’m not intimidated by speaking in front of large groups of people.

20. What kind of winter coat do you own?

I have several. My most favorite is grey/black wool plaid. It’s more of a blazer than a coat but it does the trick.

So, were you bored? Was it fun reading my answers? Hmmmm?

Getting To Know You

evening primrose

I’ve been spending a fair amount of time on Facebook lately.  I like seeing what my friends and family are doing throughout the day.  I like seeing photos and updates and books that they are reading.  I don’t particularly like all the silly quizzes and games but when I saw this “Getting to Know You” one circulating the other day I thought I could use it as blog fodder. I eliminated a couple of the questions as they didn’t really work for a blog post (as in, who will you tag, who won’t answer, etc) but for the most part this is the original list.

  1. What time did you get up this morning? 6am

  21. Do you have any pets? yes, a dog and a cat
  22. Any new and exciting news you’d like to share? I think you all already know any news I might have.
  23. What is your favorite childhood memory? Spending summers at the beach with my family.
  24. Always wear your seat belt? yes, always!  See #11.
  25. Been in a car accident? yes but it was many years ago and I wasn’t driving.
  26. Any pet peeves? when people use “your” and they should use “you’re”
  27. Favorite pizza toppings? pepper & onion
  28. Favorite Flower? tulips
  29. Favorite ice cream? peppermint stick
  30. Favorite fast food restaurant? Taco Bell
