So my next up knitting project is a cute owl sweater.
'Cuz there is nothing a girl in Texas needs more than a sweater. Plus, I'm not even sure that I can pull off an owl sweater, but it should be fun to knit.

I haven't decided on a yarn...here are my choices:


Damn

Totally forgot to post this picture last night. I've always been more of a "B" student so maybe we will shoot for 80% of 365 days rather than a full 100%.

Anyway, it was soup and grilled cheese night last night!

I have got to learn how to take better pictures. An informal class perhaps!

There will be a very large bruise on this knee tomorrow. Took a major tumble today at work during a foot race with an 8-year-old. It's a little red but I need it to have the bruise so I have visual proof of the pain.





P.S. I totally won the race

I am so smart...S-M-R-T!

I was a smart kid. Really smart. I think I'm a pretty darn smart adult as well. I'm not saying this to brag, but rather to make a point about the negative. See, I'm naturally smart...not work-your-ass-off-smart. So the lack of effort I demonstrated was remarkable. Not kidding...I went to graduate school at the age of 30 with 2 kids and I purchased NOT ONE textbook. Never read in grad school...not once. Well, that's a lie, I did read Harry Potter. My point is that it makes me feel like a total waste sometimes. I mean, can you imagine what I could have accomplished had I been dedicated to something other than television? Don't get me wrong, I'm no schlub, but I could be curing cancer right now...or better yet, Stickler Syndrome!

Now, here I am with a 9-year-old boy who is smart...really smart. How much effort do you think he put into getting all A's except for one B?

Better yet...would you like to guess what his only comment from the teacher was??

Wait for it.....




"Talks too much"

SHOCK.

Grey's Anatomy and Google M.D.

There should be a warning sign on the late night episodes of Grey's Anatomy: This episode could lead to Googling and self-diagnosis. Google is truly the best doctor I have ever had - it helped diagnose both my hypothyroidism and my shingles (btw- don't ever google "shingles pictures" EEESH!)

So at 10:30 last night there was an old episode of Grey's on and I had already had 2 cups of tea so I was going no where. Somewhere in the episode they mentioned a syndrome that included long fingers and deformity of the palate. So I googled it. Turns out it was more related to people who are more like giants. BUT, it mentioned another syndrome called Stickler Syndrome. Some of the signs of Stickler's include: Cleft palate (got it), connective tissue disorder (ophthamologist once said I had this but never heard anything else about it), heart murmur (got it), bad vision (had it...got it fixed), but the kicker was that it mentioned unusual joint flexibility and, I kid you not, there were 2 pictures of people doing the exact party tricks that I have been doing for years!


All that to say, there are many other symptoms that I don't have so we won't make a definitive diagnosis yet...but how gross is that picture of my hand!!!
