A collection of randomness
Thanks to Yarny Old Kim for a Rockin' Girl Blogger shout out. Seeins how I found everyone on the Blogroll via a previous round of Rockin' Girl Bloggers- I don't have anyone to shout out to. Except for maybe my mom- not sure she'd want that- let me know mama.
After further conversation, here at the WV/PA Mason Dixon Line, mud bogs are real. It's a big ole thang of mud that you drive yer 4 wheelers n dirt bikes through. Get it?
Last night after the Open House, the knitting space drew me in like a magnet. When I couldn't keep track of 33 stitches for a chevron patterned scarf (saw it somewhere as a way to make good use of leftover sock yarn) I knew I could only look fondly at THE PROJECT and not try to do any work on it. I also almost accidentally typed "Tangled Web" when refering to it earlier today.
As I was goofing around with the chevron, GHB asked "what are you working on?" Now I could be mistaken, but I think he noticed that it wasn't the Tangled Yoke and it wasn't a sock. Or else maybe he was just making conversation. My reply- "I have no idea. I just need to knit."
Lydee had the Hatfields and McCoys at her open house. I'm starting to convince myself that if I predict the future on this blog, the opposite will happen.
The parents of the kids that are secret favorites stopped by to say hey in a sort of, "you're a funny person, you crack my kids up" kind of way. Their kids (who are unfortunately often neglected due to their well-behaved temperments) also came in playing and smiling, as if they knew that the parents of the kids with less well-behaved temperments NEVER come to Open House.
The A.D.D. Knitter totally captured my feelings about school starting. So glad to have the lunchtime blogs to check to see what everyone who gets to stay home is doing.

I can relate to the "I just gotta knit" concept - I bought some handspun recently, knit it into a scarf pattern completely inappropriate to the yarn, then placidly ripped the whole thing out. Just because. And if it's any consolation, I always visit the kids' music teacher at open house. You specialists might not always get the spotlight you deserve, but rest assured there are a lot of us parents who see and appreciate your efforts. Rock on!
Yup. Staying home is a good deal, even if you have to work at home. I love school. Love it. Love. It.
Well, you can see at my blog what I was doing. I was at home... but with 5 boys, well actually 4 since one has finally gone to school, it's more like an institution than a home. But I do like it... and I can knit while I help with math!
Not informed as to what a shout out is, so participating would be tough to do. Give us 'not so often' bloggers a hint as to what that is, please. Mama
Hey stealthy blogger! I love the term mud bogs, so glad you put it out there for us, so I can say things like, "I'm wallowing in a mud bog", "get your head out of the mud bog", or "I'm happier than a colony of 'skeeters in a mud bog!"
I've already used the , "I'm wallowing in a mud bog". That was yesterday.
Today: "I'm a rockin' mud bogger!"
Yes THANK GOD for the lunch-hour-blog-catch-up!
Or you could always use, I'm so tired I'm sucking mud bog bottom.Hee
And yes, I'm starting to get into the groove of 'being at home" but 6 1/2 hours catching up on blogs is wearing me out.
You are a Rockin' Girl Blogger! I really want to make a Chevron scarf to use up some sock stash. So many projects I want to make and so little time. Two women in my SnB are making the Tangled Yoke sweater.
Open House must be interesting from the teacher's perspective. I was talking about report card night before (see how my mind leaps ahead to the bad stuff). And I think the electives teachers are grossly undervalued. When I was in school, the only thing that kept me going was Art electives. My son is the same way, his core courses grind him down, it's the options that keep him going.
