I feel like hitting skinny women
Dunno why. it just occurred to me that right now that, i would enjoy hitting (like bitch slap, trip, push down, or kick to the shins) some overly made up shi-shi-wa-wa annoying-ass skinny women in strapless dresses with perfect updos. Just because.
Many people feel this way. Not many are brave enough to admit it.
Yeah. That would be fab.

Nice, nice nice.
I am having a nice time with Marla in BC.
Today she treated me to a pedicure! We were really pleased with the service at the place we went (one block away). Little Reid slept in Marla's arms the whole time. Nice :)
Went for a nice run this evening. Mountains to my right and rolling hills under my feet. Most excellent.

Safely in BC!
Knitting in the sun and playing with a blonde haired blue eyed baby boy all afternoon. NICE! Soon to go for a run. Ben & Marla are packing Ben up to go to the NW Territories, and I am making them ribs for dinner! Yay!!! While the ribs are getting all nice and saucy, I'll go for a run. Good, eh? :)
I want to live here. Gosh, it's beautiful.

Picot finishing
I am going to finish my socks like this: PICOT EDGE AND SEWING TECHNIQUE
I have finished one sock, and once I've verified I have enough yarn to make them the same length, I'll do the sewing up and happy and proud wearing :)

Just wrong
More examples of Ravelry horror:

Awful. Frickin awful. If you carried that around as a purse people would think you were somehow merged with a terrible alien that is slowly eating your arm.
Awful.

Saturday mornings rock
when you don't have to work, or file stuff, or be company to someone you don't want to be company with, but you can sleep in (until 10:30) and have bedhead under your fave Technical Life Is Good hat, and knit yourself a sock (oh well start knitting anyway - using 2mm needles means these ones will take a while) out of the softest yarn in a colourway that makes you think of easter eggs and sunshine on your new 5" (nice and short) nice and cheap bamboo needles from China (thanks, eBay), in your green running dress and matching green running panties and drink extremely strong coffee and eat two english muffins with PB&J.
It doesn't matter if I am too poor to do anything fun for the next several months -- I have enough yarn in my stash to craftify myself to death and not spend a single frigging penny doing it! Whee!
Now, I am going to march downstairs, start my 2nd eng. muffin going (fuel for my upcoming 8 miler) and while i am at it graft the thumb of the second mitten for my mitten swap (it was not technically 100% done) and then I am going to block those fucking mittens and I can't go for my run until I do so. I don't know why I've been putting it off. I will try to remember to wash the jam off my fingers before I do, though :)
Here goes. :)

Good heavens
This is among the ugliest I have seen on Ravelry (lots of ug on the site, but this?)
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/noro-technicolor-dreamcoat
It's touted as a pattern using 8 mitered squares and 8 different colourways of Noro yarn. Hmm. Okay - where I'm from - that's a kids sweater that costs at MINIMUM $100. For that fugly thing? Sorry. Oooof. AND they want you to pay them $6 to learn how to make it.
Sorry.
That's not a very positive post. BUt sometimes I can't believe what I see on there. Hah.

what the plickety plop?
I don't know what to do with myself!
a) I am freaked out. I am going to have to pay over 40K in taxes, I think, and a) just a few years ago I didn't even make that in a whole year, and b) I don't quiiite have that in the bank. Eeeep!
b) I spent the last 2 days getting everything in order to take to the accountant. Yes, my records were pretty much everything but really records, but I did it, and that's all a learning experience (I've never been a business before - how the hell do I know what the eff to do?!). I even looked for books to tell me, but there weren't any. I should write one:

OKay now my font won't go back to normal. Whatever.
Oops. Okay. Got it.
Well anyway, you get the idea. I could do it. I am not sure it would sell.
b part 2) so I told myself "no more work until Monday" because I worked kind of nonstop for about 2 weeks on reports and assessments and got myself into quite the grumpy-ass snit. So no work. So now I am not sure what to do. I am kind of like "well maybe I can just file this" or "maybe just make a note about that" but no work means no work.
It's getting dark and biiiig clouds are moving in so no gardening. Took the dog for a glorious walk (it was indeedy quite nice outside even if with each step I was thinking "40K, empty bank account, 40K, empty bank account..."). Since the REiki woman messed with my aura I get these wobbly spells and now I am wobbly, so I'm thinkin that standing on a ladder and painting the bathroom is probably not the *best* idea for how to spend my evening.
c) I could have gone to a movie night that was being organized by this book club I went to last month, but I sort of, er, forgot about it until the middle of my walk with Pheebs. Oops. Plus they call it the "couples" book club. I think the man who invited me is kindly. The people are all about 15 years older than me, coupled off, teenagers at college/university, and I'm the odd one out. Once I got this email saying "movie night for couples book club" I was just like - uh.... gee.... I don't want to go as badly any more...
d) 40K, empty bank account, 40K, empty bank account... FUUUUUUUUUCK. I'm sort of completely fucked about it. I can't believe that with all that money going to support the government, I can't get an appointment with a doctor with half a brain and an awareness of the impact of their snotty behaviours on those asking for help. Can't I just pay them friggin directly, instead??!
e) Today I ate 7 low-cal cookies. Yes. SEVEN. Haha. Something is definitely off in my aura.
f) I am completely afraid to block Cheryl's mittens. Totally fubar about it. Don't wanna do it. Afraid to wreck them.
Your wobbly blogger,
Kris

Another thought
If teal is the colour you get when you mix a kelly or like an emerald green with a peacock blue, how come it looks wrong and kind of hurts your eyeballs to wear teal with those same hues of green or blue?
My head hurts today.

Deep thought
What if you name your infant daughter "Bella," and she grows up to be unattractive? (I mean bella does mean "pretty", doesn't it?)
