It's a Meme, but it's OK

I am: Brenda - Wife, Mother and Bag Lady.
I think: almost constantly, and to the point where I need to spin or knit NOT to think.
I know: More about the miseries that people inflict on others than I really ought to.  It keeps me awake at night.
I have: a pretty great Husband and Son.
I wish: that my non-immediate family would learn to grow cojones and spend better. (don't ask)
I hate: people who believe that everyone else should worship the ground that they flick their boogers on. 
I miss: sitting on the beaches in Hawaii.
I fear: that my son will not finish High School and end up being 'that kid' with the bedroom in the basement...cybering with girls online.
I hear: the teenage boys in the next room playing video games.
I smell: nothing right now, which is good.  Asian ladybugs are swarming our front porch and sneaking in the house. If you touch them, they give off this horrible smell.  
I crave: kimchi
I search: for all my lost knitting needles.
I wonder: why people lose their common sense when they belong to any group. 
I regret: Not going to college in Minnesota after High School.
I love: Talking about things with my Husband.
I ache: in my head. I've had a sinus headache for about 2 weeks now.

I believe: that everyone has the ability to think for themselves but lets the media do it for them instead.
I dance: shamelessly to Ricky Martin whenever I can. 
I sing: off tune. 
I cry: when I am alone.  I hate an audience.
I fight: Anyone and everyone.
I win: because I picked the best husband around!!
I lose: only when it would benefit the other person to win more than me. 
I never: have had any type of surgery.
I always: make myself a hazlenut mocha latte every morning.
I confuse: no one.  If you know me, you know how I feel about everything. 
I listen: to TV more than I watch it.
I can usually be found: Sewing, Spinning, Knitting or Driving. 
I am scared: That the people of this country prefer communism over being a republic.
I need: about 20 more terrabytes of memory in my brain. 
I am happy about: snuggling under warm flannel sheets on a cold morning with my Honey.
I imagine: retiring to Hawaii.
I tag: whomever has the time to type all of this.

1000th Feedback!!!

KIP Bags by Ruddawg has gotten their 1000th feedback! In honor of this momentous occasion, I am giving away a One of a Kind KIP Bag filled with goodies. The stuff? A sampling based on the idea "A Few of my Favorite Things." What are a few of my favorite things? Well, KIP bags, of course. This one is red velvet, 10" high by 7 1/2" wide. A red velvet wrist strap allows for knitting and walking at the same time. It has a decorator fabric bottom and fancy stitching at the top to give it a more festive look. What is in the bag? The top fuzzy item is a pair of socks. Not just socks, but a pair of those fuzzy and oh so soft socks. I am a fiend for socks! I ask for a new set of socks every year for my birthday. Next is a skein of Alpaca yarn - Caramel in color. I love, love LOVE alpaca! This skein is from Blue Sky Alpacas, 120 yards of Sport Weight Yarn. The red item is my most useful tool for knitting, sewing and everything else. It's a small swiss army knife that

Secret of the Stole: Clue 3 Finished!

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/secretofthestole/ Clue 3 is finished! I am knitting it in handspun 2-ply yarn on size 3 addi circular needles with beads. The beads used to be only green, now I've added lavender and gold ones also. To me, this looks like a spider and web-themed stole. Notice the 3 spiders on it? I call them spiders because they have 8 legs each.

I know the picture is not the best, but it does show the basic shape of the shawl. It's a faerose shawl, knitted for a friend of mine who will be married next month. The middle is a pattern I've memorized from somewhere, but the wings were from the Mystery Stole3 Pattern. Now the left side was the easiest: I picked up 100 stitches from the middle and just utilized the wing chart from the Mystery Stole3. The right side took some canoodling. I figured out that if I read the wing chart from the left to the right instead of the 'usual' way it would work. The last stitch was not a slip stitch, but a k2tog stitch. I then slipped that stitch and purled all the way back to the edge of the wing. It worked out well. The total knitting time was 2 weeks. I knitted like a fiend. Last Thursday I realized that I had to start school this Thursday. I knitted faster and faster. I finished it during the Packer game last night and blocked it on my son's bedroom floor.
