Ding!

Moment at the Knitflix Movie Night when I laughed so hard I almost cried last night? Loud buzzing noise happens. Everyone looks around to see what it was. (I think it was feedback from an amp or speaker or something – are amps and speakers the same thing?) Out of nowhere, I hear someone quietly say:

Fries are done.

I had to find out who said it. I professed my adoration for her, very publically. And now? The song is stuck in my head. Still, 13 hours later.

By the way, Caro makes awesome bags. Go check them out.

In case you have never seen or heard the “Ding! Fries are Done” video and song, you can find it, complete with lyrics, here. It is wrong on so many levels. Consider yourself warned.

BlahBlahBabble Knittastic!

Don’t Tempt Me…

Julia sent me an e-mail last night about the Knitting Movie night in Austin tonight at Hill Country Weaver’s. She wrote something along the lines of “Don’t you wish you could be here?”

I wrote back and asked if her offer to come to stay in Austin any time still applied.

I’ve wanted to go to Austin since March to see Tara & Julia. Mike said that once school was out, I could go for a road trip. I got to see Julia a few weeks ago when she came here to go to Ikea, but I haven’t had a Tara fix since she took us in for Hurricane Rita. She came to Houston while I was in London, and we were both bummed about missing the chance. Now I get to see both of them! Wheeeee!!!

Yeah, don’t tempt me. You just never know – I might show up on your doorstep if you’re not careful.

Fair Warning…

I’m really, really feeling the need to make some soap. I haven’t made in any probably a year now because I was still so burned out from back when I made it full time. I just couldn’t do it. I think the trip to Lush and B inspired me though. If I make it, I’ll be posting it in the Etsy store and updating here too. Consider this fair warning.

Now if I could only find my lotion, lotion bar and lip balm recipes…

I Didn’t Want To. I Really Didn’t Want To…

I didn’t want to watch “America’s Got Talent.” It looked way too cheesy. All of the commercials made me cringe. I just did not want to watch it.

When we turned on the TV tonight, it was on.

We got sucked in. All three of us are sitting here, just waiting for the next talented act or the next train wreck. It rocks! If you have missed it, check it out. If you watched tonight, which act did you like best? The cloggers gave me goosebumps. Angel boy was a bit freaky, but I’m glad they gave him another chance. And while Mike didn’t like the band and agreed with Piers that the lead singer wasn’t strong enough. The eleven year old girl that sang? She was incredible! A-maz-ING. Amazing. Stunning, so amazing.

Snow White should never strip though. That was just wrong.

Regis Philbin still bugs the heck out of me, but fortunately he was a minor part of the show. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go set up my Tivo season pass…

It is Here! It is Here!

We had to go down to the Medical Center (annual-ish follow-up appointment for Jason’s foot, nothing major) and then dropped Mike off at his office while Jason and I went to have lunch. When we got home, we discovered that …

MY BAG IS HERE! MY BAG IS HERE! MY BAG IS HERE!!!

Finally – my clothes, my hairdryer (wouldn’t work at Ann’s flat, so I sent it off with Mike), my curling iron, my purse, my other Birkenstocks – they are all here! Yeah!
