When “Toasted” isn’t a euphemism for anything
Posted by Nanc
I’m not blaming anyone, but certainly someone was laying down on the job when it came to telling me about toasting Pop*Tarts.

New PEZ is here. It’s just inside.
okay.
I get it. You don’t want to look at new PEZ.
That’s fine. I understand. You didn’t hurt my feelings.
But what do I tell the PEZ?
Trekking Fair Park
Posted by Nanc
While down at Fair Park this weekend dropping off the socks, we decided to spend a little time and enjoy the scenery. Although there wasn’t a lot of walking to be had, I’m going to ask to have it count as part of my Trek Along.
Please note: I truly had intentions of taking a good and long hike in the White Mountains of New Hampshire wearing my Trekking socks. Unfortunately, those vacation plans were cancelled, and I find myself still in Texas and incredibly warm. All outside excursions are limited to travel to/from car, mailbox, and other air conditioned buildings. Occasionally mowing the lawn. The heat has also affected my knitting production (like many others), and neither Matt’s nor my Trekking socks are done. Yet.
Socks go to the state fair

“Oh, what a beautiful day for the fair,” said the brightly colored pair of socks. “I wonder what we’ll see.”
If it sounds like I might have lost IT and am a bit more loony that usual, well you might be right. But it won’t stop those socks from telling their story. Nothing will stop the socks.
Cat Frenzy

We received a mysterious package that made the cats go crazy. What could possibly be inside? Did I mention the strange and funky smell?
A trebuchet candy bowl?

A piñata coffin, er… fancy wooden box? Cast-iron skillet candy logs? Chocolate golf club set (with irons and woods)? Candied liver & onions? A wrought iron and wood bench in Willy Wonka’s Candy Gardens?
What in the Sam Hill am I going on about? It’s the Bonez’ and my sixth wedding anniversary today. And although we promised each other not to get anything, it’s still fun to look, plot, and think of these things.
And it seems that I am not the only (bonus: a knitter, ta’ boot) one with this conundrum.
Please help me wish my honey a happy ‘nother year. Happy Anniversary, babe!
Stash enhancement
Posted by Nanc
Was it sun sickness? Heat exhaustion? Solar flares? What caused me to go bonkers and buy more yarn? Heck, I even admitted to Bonez the other day that “Boy, I sure have a lot of yarn.”
Some of the thoughts that were going through my mind at the time: Do I have *enough*? Is there ever “enough?” How will I knit it all? Man, I’ve gotta get it all knit up! Especially if I wanna buy some of that SeaSilk. Of course, I was under a large pile of yarn trying to reorganize and pack up my stash so that it didn’t completely consume the house.
Last Sunday (yeah, I’m *that* behind with my posts), a couple 200 knitters showed up to watch the Rangers play ball and get their knit on. (The knitters, not the Texas Rangers. Although I would’ve liked to see them try to knit. But I’m odd like that.)
Was it a coincidence, a fluke? Was some evil scrapbooking villain controlling our collective yarn minds? Does ‘America’s favorite past time’ hold the secret to yarn-overs and cabling?
While all really… well, STOOPID questions; No. It was the fabulous Stitch n’ Pitch day at the Texas Rangers game!
Yep, you heard me right. And it was fun, ta’ boot!
