Dog Pile!
Me & the doggies were having fun with the camera last night:
But Mooooommy, I'm sleeeeeeepy!
Can't we just take a short nap???
Okay, I'll give you ONE kiss. But then you've got to stop!
Oh, and guess who'll be making an appearance in the Winter issue of Knitty?
What's that? Did someone say "star"?
Till next time,
Sarah
Item of the day: Alligator Scarf Kits from Morehouse. Too cute! And one of those (in Cranky Green) would be a, uh, great Christmas gift idea. . . or you could just check out my Amazon Wish List. For anyone who, you know, might be into that kind of thing. : ) Oh, and while you're over at Morehouse, check out the Lobster Claw Mittens. HI-larious!

Adventures in Receptionism
(rrrrrrring)
"Good afternoon, law office."
"Yes, I have an appointment this afternoon and I don't know where I'm supposed to park."
"You may park anywhere outside the building in the guest parking lot."
"Well then, what the hell am I doing in a parking garage?"
(Hmm. I could think of several reasons for that, the first of which being that you were too stupid to call me for instructions before you drove into the parking garage.) "Well, I'm not sure. If you'll just drive back down to the parking lot, you'll be able to find a spot. We're in Suite 701."
"Allright, what building are you in?"
(Now you don't even know what building you're going to? What did you decide to do, just pick a random office building and hope you're in the right place?) "The Centurion Tower, 1601 Such-and-So Street; there's a large sign out front, you can't miss it." (The phone begins to ring.) "Okay? We'll see you soon."
"Wait. . .you aren't going to HELP ME FIND IT?????"
(rrrrrrrrrring) "Sure, let me put you on hold, okay?"
(transferring second caller)
"Ma'am? Did you need additional assistance?"
"Yes, I need you to Tell Me How To Get There."
"What street are you on now?"
"I don't know. I'm by some buildings, can you tell me how to get there from here?"
(I could certainly tell you where to go. . .) "You don't know where you are?"
"No! Is there someone else I can talk to besides YOU?"
"Well, I don't think anyone else is going to be able to help you get here from where you are if you don't know where that is."
I gave the woman standard directions from the nearest major intersection. She had to call again from inside our building to find out what floor Suite 701 was on. (Any guesses? Anyone?) She'd gone to the third.
And what was she coming in for, you ask?
A job interview. I swear, I can't make this stuff up!

All About My Man
1. Who is your man? Jonathan Edward Wilson
4. How old is your man? 29. . .30 next year, I can't believe it!
5. Who eats more? Hmmm. I would say I do, but I only see Jonathan for dinner, and even then not all the time, so I don't really know! I think we both have healthy appetites.
6. Who said "I love you" first? Jonathan did, the day before I left for a family reunion. . .I think that was in August 2003.
7. Who is taller? Jonathan! I'm 5'3", he's 5'9"
8. Who sings better? We both sing well!
9. Who is smarter? Jonathan! (Hello, can we say undergrad in biochemistry and after that medical school?)
10. Whose temper is worse? Jonathan's.
11. Who does the laundry? I do, sometimes Jonathan.
12. Who takes out the garbage? Jonathan! : )
13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do.
14. Who pays the bills? Jonathan does. . .thank goodness!
15. Who is better with the computer? I am.
16. Who mows the lawn? No lawn, but when we have one, it will likely be the neighbor's kid. I've never mowed a lawn in my life, and there is no way Jonathan will have the time.
17. Who cooks dinner? Cook? Right now my fridge is filled with Lean Cuisines, fruit and vegetables. If you consider peeling a peach or nuking a frozen dinner as cooking, then that would be me.
18. Who drives when you are together? Usually Jonathan, although since he just bought me one of these, I have a feeling it'll be me more often.
19. Who pays when you go out? Jonathan, unless he forgot his wallet, in which case I pay with the credit card he got me. (Which is pink! And he picked it out just for me! Awwww. . .)
20. Who is most stubborn? Jonathan.
21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Depends on the offence. . .
22. Whose parents do you see the most? Mine; my dad is a retired airline pilot, so he and my mom get to fly for free!
23. Who kissed who first? Jonathan kissed me first, but I heartily returned the affection!
24. Who asked who out? Jonathan asked me out; our first date was to the zoo, where the lions. . .uh. . .shall we say. . .put on a show? ; )
25. Who proposed? Jonathan proposed on Halloween of 2003; he was wearing a Superman outfit! He proposed by singing me a song he'd written just for me.
26. Who is more sensitive? Jonathan. . .definitely.
27. Who has more friends? Um.
28. Who has more siblings? I do, I have 2 older brothers (and a fabulous seester!) and Jonathan has 1 younger brother.
29. Who wears the pants in the family? Jonathan! And I'm glad! : )
Jenni, your turn!

Giselle
The talented and beautiful Marnie Maclean has posted photographs of the finished piece I test knit for Stitch Diva Studios to her Flickr account! Check them out by clicking the photo below.
I knit that!
Giselle will be available exclusively at Stitch Diva Studios later this month, I believe. This beautiful wrap sweater is knit in one piece from the top down, and has several different variations to choose from: an all-knit version, a knit-and-crochet version, and full length or cropped versions in both styles.
Here's a bonus pic:
Yours truly, modeling the fresh-off-the-needles, unblocked piece for her knitting group.
Till next time,
Sarah
