Wisdom Wednesday

So many lessons from this wonderful week:

  • If your 4 year old is running, strip stark naked, down the sidewalk towards a busy highway, and you're yelling "Tanner! Stop! Right! Now! I'm! Going! To! Spank! You!", you'd better be faster than Tanner because this tactic is not going to be very effective. [His Mom sounded so mad, I was yelling "Holy Crap! Run! Faster! Tanner! Run!]. You can catch more flies with honey...

  • If you hold a hedgehog, you will reallyreallyreallyreallyreally want one. Molly Bee's First Law of Animal Holdage.

  • Every single person you meet every day has something to teach you. Given enough time and thought, the gift of the lesson will be revealed to you. It's not always a warm fuzzy lesson. Some people are just put in your path to be a horrible warning!

  • If you are waving a Frisbee over your head and repeating in a goofy voice, "Doyouwantthis?Youdodon'tyou?YouwantthisFrisbeedon'tyou?!??!" to an 80 # dog and you wind up on your butt in the mud covered with scratches...Yep, he wants it. If you ask a question, make sure you really want to know the answer.

  • I've been kinda bummed about having to pay another $650 dental bill tomorrow. Today I was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected windfall that pays that bill and leaves me $100 to spare! The Universe will answer your prayers.

  • Given that turn of events, I talked to the Universe about giving me a hedgehog. Sometimes the answer is 'no'.

What have YOU learned this week?

I say you should go with the hedgehog thing. They don't eat yarn (at least I think they don't), they don't need to be walked, and they never get big enough to knock you down. What's not to like?

That you, Ms. Molly Bee, never, ever lose your sense of humor! ;)

I think you could brush your hair with one of those hedgehogs, or maybe defuzz a sweater.

I love your humorous take on life lessons :) May I share mine?
This week I learned that when you have a tire blow out on the Interstate, your car does not launch itself into the air, do a pirouette mid-flight, go over a cliff and explode in a cloud of fire and dust. (Lesson: Knight Rider & The A-Team are not real life.)

If you got a hedgehog, it would fit in your knitting bag. Just sayin'.

I learned that The Universe was right (as always) when I didn't get what I thought was my dream job three years ago. After a four-day volunteer gig at that very same place, it was proven that I would have been miserable working there. Yay, Universe!

(and yeah, the hedgehog was damn cute. He had to be tough to resist!)

I learned that if you leave a naked baby in your living room, even just for 10 seconds so you can let the dog outside, he will poop on the carpet...then step in it to grind it in real good. :(

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
