Because Cookie said I should and I always listen to Cookie.

01.  All hell broke loose.

02.  Now that Texas is home, I’m doing the traveling.

Totally not right.

03.  He loves his job and they love him.

04.  Although it’s really not hard to love him.

Or hard not to love him.

Pick one that appeals to your grammar sensibilities.

05.  Heads split open and demons flew out.

06.  Angie isn’t coming here in October because I won’t be here.

I’ll be catching her in/around D.C.I hope.

07.  I’m apparently medically interesting enough for my neuro to make me a case study.

08.  If I get treated like I have no brain because I have a vajayjay…

I may lose it on these backwoods hicks

Or kidnap the Kitten and give her 5 minutes alone with them.

09.  The Anti-Christ lives.

And it’s not the wicked witch.

I have found worse.

10.  Sometimes, banging your head against a wall repeatedly does make it all feel better.

Or maybe that’s the brain damage setting in.

11.  On my last trip, I again packed knitting. Although I still can’t knit.

Right there is proof of the drain bamage.

12.  The four horsemen of the Apocolypse have been seen cruising the area

13.  I seriously need a night at Big Rock’s Tiki Bar and Grill

with a case or ten of Coronas

and tong wrestling

14.  Cookie is a saint and deserves the greatest of blessings for not ripping me a new one on the phone.

15.  Yeah, I’m still all squishy and shit.

16.  Anyone know how to knit a crawfish?

17. Catch you when I catch my breath again!

Until then, keep up the randomness

Happy weekend y’all!

TMI Tuesday

Apr 21

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 8 Comments

Because these were fun this week and Texas and I had some good discussions around it… we’re sharing TMI:

1. Marriage and children aside, what has been your greatest accomplishment in life?

My job. Or former job, since they did hire someone else for it. Getting my degree.

2. Aside from healthy and happy children, what is your greatest ambition for the future?

Total world domination. Have a race car again.

3. If we were to enter your real name in a search engine, what would we find?

Knitting stuff. Racing stuff.

4. Who is the most famous person you ever met (not just in the same room as, but actually spoke with)?

Robert Davi. Maybe Cheech and Chong? Who’s more famous?  Oh, and I did meet both BB King and Stevie Nicks.  Almost forgot Patti LaBelle too. Bill and Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, John Force.

5. Parents aside, who is your biggest hero?

Well, I can’t tell you that, because then she would know… and that would be weird and strange and icky. John Force.

6. Someone once worked out the sexual version of Six Degrees of Separation – Celebrity A slept with B, who slept with C, who slept with D, making as sort of connection between A and D. Are you connected to anyone famous through six or fewer bonks?

Yes. No.

Happy Tuesday y’all!

Don’t you wish that WP would make up names or numbers when you save a draft with no title? That would make it so much easier.  I can only be clever so many times a week and today isn’t it.

Θ Θ Θ Θ Θ Θ Θ Θ Θ

Go wish her a happy Saint’s Day.  It’s the out I used for being such a slacker on getting the birthday present delivered on time.  I just don’t do well under birthday pressure.  If it’s your birthday, don’t fret if you don’t get something from me.  You’ll probably get it about two months later.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Yeah.  I just liked the quote. It seemed to fit the picture of the lake.  I didn’t make it down the hill fast enough to get the beautiful picture of the sun before the fog moved in, but I was quite happy with what I got anyway.

Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ

Go see this. I really don’t have a stash problem.  I can’t even keep two strands straight.

Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ  Θ

TMI Tuesday wasn’t that bad this week, so here we go!  (I’m saving the UM’s for a day I have nothing)

1. Don’t tell us what it is, but do you have a sexual secret you have never told anyone? Yes
2. Do you have a nonsexual secret you have never told anyone? Yes
3. Did you ever tell someone a secret only to have them spill it? What were the repercussions? Yes, I never spoke to the person again.  Of course I was getting ready to move to CA, so it was a moot point.
4. Did you ever spill a secret someone told you? What were the repercussions? Nope.  Well not intentionally.  Don’t call me when I’m half asleep.  Mmmmkay? Or talk to me in my sleep.  I seem to have good conversations if you get me going.
5. Tell us a secret someone told you, however along ago, that you’ve never told. (You can disguise name or details) That they slept with their best friend’s woman.  Eventually it came out on it’s own, but I kept my mouth shut. I was not about to step into all of that lesbian drama.  And yes, they do do drama well.

Carrie asked for pictures of the paws and all I got was the look of death.

I like sleepy, not scary kitty best.

TMI Tuesday and a little FO

Feb 10

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 5 Comments

Yes, an FO.

Here.

For real.

fo 001

Pattern: Blackberry Cowl

Yarn: Manos 108 aka Black Walnut

Time: 2 days

Easy, peasy pattern and beautiful.  I know I said I was going to zig zag, but this one wanted to be made instead.  I’m thinking something lighter for the zig zag.  Maybe some hand spun since I got the wheel going again.  I plan on picking up some buttons tomorrow, blocking and then maybe a modeled shot.

If it’s not too warm, since it is going to be in the 70’s all week.

Instead of that headband, I’m thinking a pair of matching fetchings. Yes, I know I made a pair already.  I also know I have a delicato and a dashing on the needles.  But! Fetchings are quick and easy, they’d match the cowl and this yarn could be used for fishing.

Yeah.  Exciting over here isn’t it?  It’ll get weird in a week or so.

In the meantime, to spice it up a little, here is some TMI Tuesday from both of us.

TMI Tuesday

1. What do you think is the un-sexiest part of the body? There is something un-sexy about women? Feet.
2. Toilet paper: over, under, or what the hell are you talking about? Over Over
3. Have you ever called in sick to stay in bed with a sexual partner? Yes Yes
4. Did your parents have a “birds & bees” talk with you? Id so, at what age? My grandfather, age10 My aunt, age 8
5. What is one thing a someone could do to you to rock your world? Touch my soul, not just my body. Know the little things

Happy Tuesday y’all!

TMI: Texas does transcription

Sep 9

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 8 Comments

Texas back on the air again today. Carrie’s idea was good but was not needed. Had some good ideas of my  own. But due to the pain killers she is on I did not waste my time. I am having hours of enjoyment  just  sitting back.

Stacey wanted to do TMI, my answers are in blue, hers are in pink.

1. Describe the perfect date for YOURSELF… what you would enjoy most. Something  that  doesn’t require dressing in anything fancier than jeans – good food, good conversation, relaxed and lots of laughter. An intimate atmosphere where two can talk. (no B.S.ing like so many do)Good food at a nice restaurant or cook myself, and must have candles or stars.

2. Do you lean more toward being submissive or dominant? submissive dominant

3. What do you usually wear to bed? Jammies nothing

4. Have you ever seen a counselor? yes yes

5. Lights on or off? on depends on the activities

Bonus: Have you or a partner ever faked an orgasm? yes yes

WIP Wednesday – House Arrest

Aug 6

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 6 Comments

I’ve been ordered to take it easy for the next few days… this after they made me drive and hour each way for blood work – idiots… so on the advice of my knitting counsel, I started this:

wip wed 004

Why yes, I also have all of this on the needles and an Icarus in waiting (*ahemAngieahem*) :

wip wed 002

Hey wait, that’s actually not bad for me. I screwed up both scarves and have some rippage to do, so they’re on time out. The sock, well… I think my mojo may be out partying with Margene’s.

Since I didn’t do it yesterday, here is TMI Tuesday:

What is your definition of romantic? You know, I’m really a simple girl. Hold the door, hold my hand, open my car door, leave me a note, bring me a cup of coffee in the morning, ask about something that interests me, wash my car. It’s a look or a touch. Simple, everyday things – that’s what matters.

Would you consider yourself to be romantic? Yes

Is your significant other romantic? As far as I’ve seen, yes.

Have you ever chastised a SO for not being romantic enough or too romantic? No. I’ve been told that I’m not – but hell… considering the source.

What do you consider a grand romantic gesture? Being taken to Belize for the weekend. (remember, the answer is always Belize) Oh hell …I don’t know. I’m simple, remember? Have you ever been the recipient or giver of one? Going with the whole “I’m a simple girl” then… yes I have.

If you have done something romantic to get laid, did it work? If not, why and how did that affect your romantic tendencies in the past. Yes

What is the most romantic thing you have ever done? Bought him a trip to spring training for his favorite team – made all the arrangements with his job, packed everything, took care of all the little details. He had no idea until we got to the airport Had done for you? After a pretty hard week at work, he invited me over to watch some movies and relax. He had one of my favorite meals made, had these big, bright and beautiful sunflowers on the table, wouldn’t let me help at all and when I went upstairs, he had tons of my favorite flowers in the bedroom.

Please pray that I don’t go stir crazy and gouge my eyes out with a knitting needle. At least I have an appointment today… one free pass. I don’t know if I know the meaning of “take it easy”.  Anyone want to take bets on me listening to the docs?

Happy Wednesday y’all!

Wednesday, I got nothing

Jul 30

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 7 Comments

My brain is recovering from a “Sweet tiny baby jesus, my arm hurts. I wonder how many of these I can take without killing myself.” day… and I have nothing for you. Except a catch up on day memes.

Manic Monday:

Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except you, the collection of your former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly. What do you talk about? Wow. Perhaps thanking them for the experience and the lessons learned (especially the relationship ones) and maybe an apology here and there for being a bitch. Except for one special person who I would take a baseball bat to. :::: angelface:::
What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Sit on a porch… a porch with a metal roof… and sip coffee, talking and probably knitting, still in my jammies. Maybe have the dvd player going with a good chick flick. Just enjoying the sound and the coolness. Although, out here, where it almost never rains… I usually run outside as soon as I hear it and maybe dance in it a little.
Are you a window person or an aisle person? Why? Window. I want to see it and experience it. It’s a whole different view at 30000 feet.

TMI Tuesday:

What is your language pet peeve. Valley girl talk. Fine. Maybe that has taken over all of SoCal and should be called SoCal talk. Watching the news yesterday I was ready to scream if I heard one more “OMG it was like… and then we like and OMG!” ACK! Oh, and it’s DUCT tape. Just sayin’
What is your favorite word? Both dirty and clean? Fuckpuppies and consensual
What is the one word you cannot spell? anecdotal – it was the bane of my existence in SEVERAL social science classes. It seemed always the same teacher.
What is the one word you always pronounce wrong? insouciant
If you could erase one popular catchphrase from the english language, what would it be? For realz. Said with the best SoCal accent. Ick.
Bonus (as in optional): The late, and very hot Michael Hutchence (INXS) once sang, “Words are weapons, sharper than knives” . What is the most hurtful thing you have ever said to anyone? It’s just the flu. Get over it. Stop being such a baby. Was it deliberate or accidental? It was deliberate and the results were devastating. What was the most hurtful thing ever said to you? Yeah. Um. Nope. Not gonna answer. Do you think it was deliberate or accidental? It was most definitely deliberate.

Thanks to Carrie for this little gem:


You embody the perfect blend of sweetness and seduction. You personality is just as luscious and irresistible as chocolate ice cream. You have a flirty, melty attitude that’s easygoing and delicious. You appreciate luxurious, extravagant things, like the way ultra-soft fabrics feel against your skin. Some people want to hog you all to themselves, but you find ways to make everyone feel special

Tuesday is for…

Jul 8

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 10 Comments

trying to stay cool?  Maybe smoke free?  Trying to come up with something to blog about because we’re living life?

Since I have nothing, you get TMI:

1. LUST: Besides your current Significant Other who do you lust for or have you lusted for?

mark shemar sam

2. GLUTTONY: What food brings out your inner glutton? Macaroni and cheee

3. GREED: What are you greedy for? More.  Just more.

4. SLOTH: What is your plan for an ideal day of sloth?  Air conditioning and a couch and tiki’ing lakeside.

5. WRATH: Describe a time that you let out a can of whoop ass on someone. I’ll need to consult my attorney on this one.

6. ENVY: Who or what do you envy? Why? Anyone who lives on the beach. Because I miss living on the beach and it’s hot and I want nothing else than to be there right now.

7. PRIDE: Have you ever had to swallow your pride? What are you proud of? Who hasn’t had to do that, although I seem to do it a lot.  I’m proud of never killing anyone.

It’s hot.  I’m cranky.  (and maybe channeling Cookie?)

A preview for tomorrow:

book 002

Gather your supplies now.  :D
