Do you have one…. yet?

I may or may not have a 2-3 darker hairs on my upper lip.  And I may or may not cut them off.

m1

Does your significant other have one?

m2

Do you know someone who has one?

Do you think you’ll have one in the future?

Lists

I am a list maker.  Sometimes I remember the list just from physically writing the list.  Other times I have to refer to the list.

Last night right before I got into bed and turned out the light, I wrote a note to myself to remind me to do something today.

Then a couple of minutes later I turned the light back on and wrote another reminder to my note thus making it a list.

Then a few more minutes passed and I again turned the light back on to add another item to my list.

At this point I think Mr. Aitch was getting disgusted with me so I tried to keep myself from thinking of things to add to the list and go to sleep.

It eventually worked but not until I made a mental note to get some earplugs.  If you know what I mean.

Do you make lists?  Do you have to refer to them or does the act of writning it down make you remember?

Kn words

I don’t understand why there is a silent “k” at the beginning of some words.  I’m sure there is a very good reason, right? But since I have the day off, I’m not going to use my valuable “me” time to do a search.

Knife or knives.

Hiding between my windows at the kitchen sink and a side cabinet…

… is a magnetic knife rack.

I love this thing.   All my good cutting knives are hanging there in plain sight so all I have to do is reach up and grab what I need.  These used to be in a drawer in cardboard sleeves to protect the cutting edge and fingers.  Not convenient, well, being in a drawer was not convenient.  Protecting one’s fingers was convenient.

Knitting.

Of course I had to include some knitting!

slipper

I knit this one, lone, seamless slipper on a bus trip I took recently.  Only had enough time to knit the one and it’s missing its mate.  Even though it doesn’t know it is supposed to have a mate.

If you’ve tried to knit these, the hardest part (IMHO) is the beginning.  The pattern is right at the top of this blog.  Under the header.   My designs.

Or click on this link.  It will take you right to it.

One last thing…  A BIG thank you to all our Veterans who have served this great country to keep us safe and free.  God Bless You!

Jazzed

A friend of mine is building a new house and she asked me to stop by and see it.  For those who know me seeing someone’s under-construction house is at the top of my list! I just get all jazzed up over new construction. Maybe it’s watching the whole thing develop before my eyes. When we built our house, I stopped to see it practically every day.

Her house is under roof and the drywall and ceilings are finished. Painting is next, then flooring, kitchen, baths, and trim.

I gave her a graph paper book so she could start rearranging her furniture on paper before the big move.  Of course I gave her my two-cents worth when asked.  And only when asked. Been there, done that with others.

I’ll be excited to see her finished house.
