Let Birthday Month Begin
Before I begin I must disgress. To my friends this part you can just skip and click on the More Tag to find out the details behind this photo.
To the Person who is reading me through Google Cache:
We are not fools and you are fooling no one. We know that the internet is a public place and have not exposed anything here that we would care if you knew. While we would love you to take the hint and stop stalking us online and in person. We don’t care if you know that we bowl or make potato chips. Our friends and family has the one thing you do not — a relationship. So, be a voyeurif you must, because stalking us isn’t all that exciting — thus you can’t possibly have anything better to do.
Moving on to things that matter.
Ah, now I feel better. Deep breaths. Someday, when I’m old and wise, I’ll understand why bullies do what they do. I will understand what thrill picking on others gives them — until then, I give you total randomness (mostly in knitting, sorry).
- No, this sweater is not for me or for any child I know. This is a sample I recently knit for my yarn shop. It’s it pretty? It is the sweetest little sweater/coat for a little girl. Cool huh?
- Secret Pal 8 is over and I have lots of love for my pal. She is awesome. She knit me a shawl — Hello!!! a whole shawl. You got tons of compliments at my knit night last night — and I LOVE it. (She also sent soap, a cool card, and a sweater razor.) I’d have photos, but that means I’d have to take the shawl off. Also, I need to mention she sent me a box of candy — which never saw the camera — because I kinda ate it straight out of the box. She loves me. Krysia, thank you.
- I do promise a photo of the bag, shoes, and me when all the pieces arrive. I know each of you will be cheering me on as the league begins.
- I currently have two projects I’m working on: a sweater for my yarn shop and a lace shawl. However, next Thursday, I’ll be casting on my first knit along, Boise shawl. Wish me luck — this is my first time with cashmere. AH.
- Prince is concerned that I paint him in a bad light. I don’t think I do. I think it pretty apparent that I love him and think he’s a bright, competent guy. (If you didn’t get that from my posts — re-read them.) However, he does some funny things from time to time — and I feel I must exploit them for my funny. Afterall, it isn’t like we have beaten the “Queen sucks” horse dead, now have we?
Finally, today officially begins Birthday Month!!! Yes, in mere few days, my birthday will be here. I think 33 is going to be an excellent year for me. So, I think that I’m going to build 30 Wishes for 33rd year. I will be announcing them daily for the whole month, beginning today. (Yes, I promise not to Wish for World Peace.) I’m thinking of real things I want to accomplish or acheive in my 33rd year. Shall we begin?
30 ROYAL WISHES:
#1: I wish while I’m 33 to ride in a hot air balloon.

How about if we add “while dropping missiles on people who suck” to that wish? I’m so glad that you and Prince don’t suck, and you’ve made a wonderful fabulous-o best-3-year-old-in-the-world, and I’m so glad that WE get to have a relationship with you because we don’t suck either! I’m so excited for birthday month – so the question is – how soon should I mail the birthday package? I know the postal service in Snarkville sucks (and just how many times can I use that word today?), so I want to give it time to get there, but not enough time for you to open it too early, or let the dog eat it (not sending anything edible ever again – your SP should be glad you didn’t put the package under the Christmas tree!) (Sorry, Joe!).
As for the cardi – super way cute, but you’re right, the pink doesn’t do it justice. It screams out for some varigation.
Happy almost 33 to you! 33 was not a great year in KnitNik land, but of course that’s because it was before I met you. And quit reminding me how much younger you are!
