One of Michaele the Knitty Professor’s pet peeves is men who wear pants that make them appear as if they have no ass. Submit stories, photos, and haikus about these assless men and the best submission will win a prize.
Trek is having a limerick contest. The rules are great! Highlights incude that you must refer to fiber or homebrewing and you cannot include the word “Nantucket.” Heh! Contest ends 11:26 am, Friday, October 27 – I’m assuming EDT.
Sunday morning, I was lying blissfully asleep in my flannel sheets when the roof repair guys began work. Yikes! I’m on the top floor of condos, and they started right over my place. Remember how stressed Chaos was when the window guys were working outside?? Pretty much a rerun of that, except there were two cats hiding behind the toilet this time. Hopefully the roof repair guys finish very quickly…
Reading Update
Burnt Offerings and Blue Moon by Laurell K. Hamilton, books 7 and 8 of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. Ok, these two books were ok, but things were starting to fall apart with the addition of the wereleopards, Asher, and in particular, Raina’s munin.
Charmed to Death by Shirley Damsgaard. This cute book is the second in the Ophelia and Abby mystery series, about a librarian witch and her grandmother, living in small town Iowa.
Derik’s Bane: A Wyndham Werewolf Tale by MaryJanice Davidson. Hee hee – you know how books sometimes have a categorization on the spine? This one is “paranormal romance.” 🙂 It was a light and fun quick read. I’m waiting for the first book (Undead and Unwed) in Davidson’s Twin Cities vampire series, which sounds a wee bit lighter than the Anita Blake books. 😉
The Chocolate Cat Caper: A Chocoholic Mystery by JoAnna Carl. Ok, how could I resist this one? Chocolate! Cat! Yum! Not sure if I’ll read any of the other books in the series, but this was fun.
Something’s Cooking: An Angie Amalfi Mystery by Joanne Pence. Another of those irresistible $0.69 mysteries at the thrift store. I spent a fair amount of time shaking my head that I kept reading this book… but I did. And I was surprised at how things turned out. Um, if I found another in the series for the same price at the thrift store, I would probably read it. But I’m not going to bother looking for them at the library.
I’ve been making steady progress on the Flatiron socks from the yarn I dyed. I’m enjoying the spiraling and pooling – it’s fascinating to see what they’ll do next.
Yay, a picture of the gorgeous boy.
Mine get under the doona when something scares them.
Hope Chaos and May are out from behind the toilet,
it must have been crowded!
Oh yes, the socks look good.
ohhh your job is great! You’ve been pumping out the socks lately!
Poor miss may with no whiskers hehe
Chris- Wereleopards? Who knew?
That’s why I gave up Stephen King and Anne Rice- I’m easily scared- but I can’t fit behind the toilet.
Snow? Really? Yikes.
Pugsley hides in the corner behind the radiator when he’s scared. Or he sticks his head in my armpit. Silly kitty.
What happened to little May’s whiskers? Did the big kitty bite’em off and that’s why he’s licking his chops?
Not the Addis, you silly kitty! Get the purple stuff.
Neener neener neener…I love it, boy, it brings back memories of childhood squabbles with my cousins. Kinda like,
Nuh Uh, Yah Huh!
Awwww…poor baby May! What’s with the whiskers? Mean ol’ big brother?!
Neener neener neener! That does bring back memories. Does too! Does not! Does too! Does not! Does too! Does not!
Moooooommm!!!!
We’ve been traipsing around in our attic and banging on old ventilation units. Poor Java is totally freaked out.
Pretty, pretty socks!
(Kitties too, of course.)
I liked the JoAnna Carl series – very light and speedy and good for mindless entertainment.
I once knew a librarian who was a witch, like in that book.
Poor kitties, hiding behind the toilet.
I really like the way the socks are knitting up—great dye job!
The Meezer just goes under the bed – or into a corner of the sewing room that’s got an opening behind a stack of Rubbermaid totes!
Your poor kitties – and why doesn’t May have Whiskers…Chaos, are you being a bad boy?
LOVE the socks!
(((hugs)))
Oooo, I love your handdyed socks too! A chocoholic series? *shakes head* LOL!
I hope the roofers are soon done. Poor, poor Chaos and May…
Workmen on a Sunday morning? Good grief. I’d be scared, too.
What’s snow?
Katie hides under the bed. The ferrets hide under or behind the nearest thing. Roofers make me want to hide too.
Hmmm…. Wonder who bit off May’s whiskers. 😉
It is wrong that I read today’s title as “There was snow on my cat this morning?”
He bit off her whiskers? Poor little kitten.
Love the socks!
Does May have some form of kitty OCD? Is that why she has no whiskers :o)
It’s too early for snow!
Ack, May now has no whiskers? The injustice! How did it happen?? Did she attack your Addis one too many times or was it her big brother?
I do hope the roof guys get done fast – it’s hard enough to imagine Chaos hiding behind the commode, and now May has to squeeze in too? Eep!
Aw! Whiskerless mayhem?
Pretty socks!
Hiding behind the toilet huh? You bathed them before loving on them later I hope. 😉
Awww! Poor little Mayhem! Has Chaos been adding a little whiskery goodness to his diet??
P.S – I loved the Undead and Unwed series!
The socks look fantastic!
Why is no one consulting the Head Cat in Charge on these condo improvements? He’s against change you know.
I love Mary Janice Davidson’s books…well, the early ones anyway. Undead and Unwed was better. As they go on, they seem to get shorter and less on the sass…which is disappointing since I so liked the first few.
Gwen
Sunday morning they did that? Nice crew. Poor kitties.
May has bitten off her whiskers?
Neener neener May is the new favorite catch phrase in our house!
Love the socks!
Maybe she’ll grow some better and longer ones 🙂
Snow? Ouch – it must be cold there.
