Dead, Dead, Dead, someday you'll be dead

It's probably a wrong thing, the amount of South Park Christmas music, Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics I've listened to today. But that's okay, I'm a fairly sick individual so it's fitting.

I officially have the Dreidel song stuck in my head. Especially the part about Courtney Cox. I guess I was singing it while I was working today because the honey came into my office and asked who looks hot on what show. *L*

After I got off work today I spent a lot of time with my dishwasher and stove. Basically I detailed them. *L* Anytime cleaning involves a toothbrush and cotton points you know you're in for a nice relaxing afternoon.

No really.

I feel much better now. I'm still stressed and on a wire about to have my head pop off, but that was nice. I'm glad I took some time for myself to do that.

I'm a freak, but I'm a clean freak so that's okay. ;^)

Cookie said so!

Ya Bunch of Meanies need to stop laughing. :P

Hey Cookie, I have 2 bottles of Vanilla. One of them is pretty big too, so I still have more Vanilla than Almond Extract. *L*

*cough* Don't mind me.

I've been knitting unto others like a good little otter. Granted I've been knitting for others mostly for a few months now. It's amazing how time flies.

I need to finish up the decreases on the DK Hat. I'm just making it up as I go along, more on that when I post the FO though.

After a brief email with Cookie yesterday and her telling me about how she was double stranding her latest Dulaan hat I started a new hat. This hat is from the stash. See after I read Mossy Cottage Knits heartbreaking Dulaan post I dug into the stash and bagged up all the yarn I will use to knit with in the coming months. It's one of those Ziploc Xtra Large Big Bags stuffed with yarn and some felt for lining hats. It's a lot of single balls of yarn or colors I changed my mind about after the fact... as well as a few things I've discovered I don't care for but that is turning out to be really helpful in making this stuff warm. Mainly Mohair. I do not like Mohair. I inhaled so much of it last night while I was knitting that I may create a hairball if you know what I mean. o.0

Here's the hat I started last night after a long day of Holiday Shopping. I think I'm done shopping, btw. Mostly. 'Cept the honey, but he's having an Amazon Christmas. ;^)

I started with the blue wool/acrylic blend for the cuff and the added in a single strand of the mohair. The mohair really takes over the color. It's a really warm wind proof knit though, so that makes me happy. I was planning on lining this one, but dang it's so thick and warm now I don't think I will. Plus the mohair makes the inside really soft. :D

I'm not sure if I'll knit on this or the DK hat tonight.

Or I could start a scarf or something... I've got the cast on fever, baby!

Hey, anything that works for you. Stress relief is a very personal thing. Want to come clean my stove?

[Dave Daniels]

Too much vanilla extract? Sounds like it's time to start baking in that newly-cleaned stove. Start wtih cookies, please.
And what's wrong with an Amazon Christmas? I gave my honey my Amazon list...you know, as a place to start. Beacuse, most guys (gay and straight) can be crappy gift-shoppers. (Just my opinion, your honey may be different.)

[Cookie]

I agree with Dave. I also think it's a very rare man who can mail shit. Don't get me started. o.0

Cleaning can be very relaxing. I think it helps that you can see what you've gotten done with your time when you clean. It's not really like that when you spend your afternoon doing e-mail. *L*

Loving that hat.

[Rachel]

The hat looks so cute!

Yay for the clean stove, whatever makes you feel better.

[Julie]

Hey sweetie - when you're done with your stove, could you bring your toothbrush over and work on mine? I'd be eternally grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Present shopping?? What you don't wait for the day before Chrismtas?? bwahahaha

I have to tell you that I'm scared to death to go back to work on Monday. The coworker who sits closest to me will start playing Christmas music then. She and I are both Christian but still it's way too early for me for all the trappings. I'm kind of a quite Christmas celebrant. I'll have to turn up all my radio selections or bring in my cd's.

When are you doing your traveling cleaning spree in PA, eh??? *laugh*
