05.19.2003 :: the day after....

Yesterday, someone contacted me and I want to share it with you. Someone named Leah, or ducky as I'll call her ! left a message on my blog. It seems she lives in the UK and somehow stumbled across the Sandysknitting world. Lucky her. It seems she dabbles in knitting! Let's hear it for Ducky! WHHOOO HOOOO! And she is looking for poetry. Homegrown, that is. Your original material. Check out her site, Ducks-echo. It's fun....although.....no knitting pics. Maybe we can work on her a little! AND, she will keep her eyes peeled for any of the forehead advertising that was mentioned here yesterday. I hope she finds some. Go send her a poem, maybe about knitting, but keep it clean, will ya?

I had a great time last night at the show, Defending the Caveman. I laughed til I cried. Well, not cry, really, we don't want to encourage anymore of that lately. But my eyes watered while laughing. My husband had the nerve to tell me at the end of the evening, while I was still on my "HEY, I went out and had a wonderful time" High, that he thought the show was......BORING. hrmpph. Party poop. I think he couldn't stand the heat. The show was about the differences in the ways that men and women interact. It was all right on, too. I believe he hit a nerve or two to Mr. Hubby. Poor hubby. Imagine him, finding out he's not perfect to live with after all these years??!! I had to give him the old, "Talk to the hand" routine because I did not want him ruining my after show glow. Kim, wanna borrow a husband for a couple of days???

Knitting? Oh, none. Hey, a person has a life you know!

You know, men never cease to amaze me. It's like my bf at the art festival yesterday. Doesn't buy me a $5.00 thing of awesome hand lotion..then I'm looking at some REALLY nice solid oak handcrafted furniture. Price around $180 for a nice foyer table..and he looks at everything in the tent and says "that's a little pricey". I just looked at him and in my snottiest voice said "And when did YOU become the expert and holy father of woodworking?" I had a bit of an attitude about the lotion. :)Daphne [rhapsody@madflower.com]

Now wait just one honkin' minute! I've got *my* man! I sure as heck don't need any others! Yikes! While I really appreciate your generosity *cough*, and recognize the extreme sacrifice of your offering *choke*, I respectfully decline based on the fact that I'm pretty damned happy with my Mr. Right. :)

Sandy, I sure know what you mean about hubbies sometimes being party poopers. When Nick was a toddler, I dressed him in some of the cutest Lands End and Hannah Anderson clothes. He was adorable. His ultra-macho dad made the remark once that I was "ruining his son", and making the kid look like a f*g. I am SO glad to be rid of that man. I just can't stand that kind of attitude. His bigotry & hatred of people different than himself (me included) just seemed to grow as he got older.

Phew! What got me going on THAT rant? Sorry about that!

SO.....cooking site? WHAT cooking site? Give up the address, girlie!Mrs. Right [gibknits@earthlink.net]

Yes, I think we should all take turns sending our *wonderful* hubbies to Kim. We all need a break now and again, right? Tell me more about the "talk to the hand routine." I'm feelin' like I'm about to learn some real helpful information here. *lol* Yes, men have a REAL problem when they finally (big emphasis on that word) realize that they are less than perfect. So go tell Mr. Fred Flinstone (or is he more Barneyesque?) to get a grip. Chop some rocks up or sumpin. Hey, maybe he could even grab a few of those dust bunnies for you. Now that would be a real step in the evolution of man, eh? About that "after show glow," we know it's really the microdermabrasion you had done. It's *so* obvious on your cooking web site. Next time, go for subtlety, ok?Kerstin
