SRM was found last night at 9:27 pm CST when the stove was pulled out. Chaos snatched SRM up and carried it away, growling at May when she tried to examine it. No further information is available at this time.
Adam has opened a new store called Yarn Nerd.
Reading Update
Born in Death by J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts). The latest Lieutenant Eve Dallas and Roarke (mmmm, Roarke) novel proved to be a good read – Dallas and Roarke continued their coach training for Mavis and Leonardo’s upcoming baby… and there might have been a murder or two…
Mistral’s Kiss by Laurell K. Hamilton. The latest Meredith Gentry (Faerie-American Princess) novel covered only about four hours! At that pace, it could take ten years to get through a week…
Copper River by William Kent Krueger picks up right about where the previous Cork O’Connor mystery, Mercy Falls, left off. Copper River finds O’Connor in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and eventually ties up the loose ends from Mercy Falls.
Stripped by Brian Freeman. Hard to believe that this is only Freeman’s second novel! Stripped is as solid a thriller as Immoral was, but I liked it better because it didn’t have the strange court procedural section. In Stripped (set in Las Vegas, not Duluth) Detectives Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial try to solve a string of murders that seem based in events of 4o years before.
Knitting Update
I made excellent progress on the refined raglan over the weekend, but I’ll spare you another in-progress black blob photo. Yesterday evening, I needed something very simple to knit, as I was starting to make silly mistakes on the raglan. So I pulled out one of my sock yarn bins and found the perfect yarn for February-March Project Spectrum (the colors white, grey, and blue) – Meilenweit Fun & Stripes, color 614:
“See how good I’m being, Mom? I can to resist temptation!” -M
“Mostly…” -M
“Although maybe not when the temptation is so very tempting!” -M
Is that another way of saying it’s missing …. again?! PS is too easy this year though I’m waiting to see what you choose for April/May. Most likely pink, eh?
You’re going to have to send out a SWAT team the next time you start searching for SRM.
I came home to some chewed off sock yarn. Serves me right for leaving all that temptation right out in the open I guess!
Hehe. SRM is back! I love those socks utterly perfect for PS2! 🙂
Oh May, don’t bother resisting! It’s futile, so says Gandalf. Just chomp on it with abandon!
So, what kind of sock yarn did you choose?
Did he lose SRM immediately?
Poor tortured Mayhem. Their lives are SO HORRIBLE. Why do you do this to them??? Heh.
Love the new socks!
I was so busy looking at the kitty head and kitty feet that I forgot to check out the sock and had to come back to your blog again.. hee hee!
Welcome back SRM! Isn’t it too funny how they act when they find a long lost toy?
Love the socks!
(((hugs)))
Nice. I think SRM has nine lives too.
Love the socks, especially the colors. Did they lose SRM again!!!
Yay SRM is back… for a while. Hey at least May tried.
Ack! I almost forgot about Project Spectrum. I like the yarn.
It seems SRM always ends up under the stove. You’re the only person I know who pulls their stove and refrigerator out on a semi-regular basis.
see that yarn on the floor between the sock and the ball Mom… that’s where you wanted it cut right?
Great socks!
Now, Mayhem, did that transient self-restraint really gain you anything?
Wow, that SRM sure does get around! Thanks for the contest link! And the yarn is so perfectly Project Spectrum, nice pick!
four books at once? you are teh crazy
Glad SRM was found!
Great sock yarn for PS2. I think May just wants to “help.” What a good kitty!
May is just the cutest thing ever 🙂
Mistral’s kiss–she needs to pick up the pace a bit, I agree.
I’m expecting my copy of Dream Hunter(Kenyon) in the mail today. I should have it ready by Thursday if not sooner. I’ve been dying to read this one.
Yay! SRM is back. All is well with the world.
I suspect Chaos hides SRM under the stove on purpose. Of course, his kitty brain doesn’t think about the difficulty it retrieving it!
Wow, that sock yarn was meant to be I suppose.
Hurray for SRM. Hope he/she/it sticks around for a while.
Just a quick note to let you know another gluten-free bakery has opened in Minneapolis. It is called Madwomen bakery on 48th and Nicollet Ave. They even carry certified gluten-free oatmeal.
Oh I think Chaos knows about the difficulty of retrieving SRM. He’s just waiting for you to catch up to it being gone and attending to his needs. Yeah, thanks for the Yarn Nerd link, I think it’s a pretty hilarious name.
Yay for the SRM find! For the time being.
Temptation can only be resisted for so long and when the temptation is so great……
Stripped sounds interesting. Well, they all do, but Stripped is going on my hold list at the library.
WHY do cats love yarn so much? Is it because they look like mouse tails? Do they secretly soak them in catnip? I think we should get to the bottom of this Chris.
Must.kill.yarn. 😉
All kitties need a good killing once in a while.
If you look at May’s pictures in reverse order it would appear that she ate your fingers!
Ooo la la, perfect PS2 yarn. Sock yarn envy here. I hope May didn’t hide SRM from Chaos, or maybe vice versa, to keep May away… Hmm…
You have a new subscriber from the kitty photos alone! I had a black kitty growing up that looks just like yours. Back of the head shots are my favorites!
Thank you again for your support of our ride. We’re still waiting on an update from the ride organizers as to donations, but I wanted to mention that we are having a contest with prizes, in case you did not know that. 1st drawing will be the last weekend in March. thank you again!
I love the new sock! Thanks for the link to Yarn Nerd. Maybe I’ll get lucky. (Okay. Stop snickering. Boy, you sure do have a naughty little brain.)
Yay, SRM! (and hey, it wasn’t a half-dead real brown mouse…)
Love the yarn, hooray for PS 2.0 colors!
Thanks for the reading updates! I didn’t realize there was a new JD Robb out and I am always on the lookout for a good new mystery series!
Yay for SRM – too bad you can’t put a homing device in him (it would end up in a kitty.. eventually!) Coolness with the Yarn Nerds site!
I’m so glad the SRM was found, that stove steals LOTS of things!! Lets see how long C can hold on to it this time!
Yay, I saw today’s photo (Feb. 13th) and thought I recognized SRM. Good for you Chaos.
Interesting reading choices 🙂 I have read all the JD Robb books except that one – didn’t know it was out! And I agree about Mistral’s Kiss – but she managed to do an awful lot in those four hours 😉
Do I have you to thank for recommending Julia Spencer-Fleming’s books? I read In the Bleak Midwinter and am now halfway through Fountain Filled With Blood. They are GOOD. I need to catch up on William Kent Kruger’s books, too; I’ve only read the first one or two.
