Wisdom Wednesday

-
I was thinking of canceling Wisdom Wednesday today because I am down with a head cold and in such a grumpy state that I figured there were no viable lessons to be gleaned from my virus laden stupor. About 2 minutes after that thought, I discovered that there is indeed valuable experience to be gathered and passed along in every situation...

♥I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, I'm just gonna tell 'ya. DON'T... as in DO... NOT...EVER... use one of those fancy tissues laced with Vick's VapoRub and then try to remove your contact lenses. Just sayin'. Again, I perform these experiments so you don't have too.

What did YOU learn this week?

That's right up there with the time I learned that you should wear gloves when cutting really super hot chilis. Especially right before going to the bathroom. Or rubbing your eyes.

Oh, jah, last week I learned that you should remember which finger you use to rub the Vick's on your chest, so you don't also use that finger to rub your eye.

Yeah, I already knew the Vicks-laced tissue thing, but it was allergy eyes, not contacts. I also learned the chili pepper thing a while ago. What I learned today is that our loverly gov is a complete and utter moron.

I hate tissues with "stuff" in them, for any purposes. Good luck getting rid of your head cold. I got one of my very own from my wonderful husband. ::ahem:: Feel better soon!

I learned that sometimes I'm wrong about my own state of being. I commented that I was feeling very grouchy to a workmate. She replied that I was tired, not grouchy. She was right.

P.S.
If they are dried and you are powdering them in a mini-food processor, you will not only need gloves. You will also need a bandana for the lower half of your face and goggles for your eyes. Have powder, will travel.

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...
