Funny Forums Tonight.

I just had to laugh. I'd just commented in a thread and hit the Etc button to check what else was new. I nearly spit my drink out laughing. It's a bit lewd and too close to a dirty joke not to share.


*Hit the picture to see it larger.No not with your fist! with that lil button on your mouse. Yeah....that one. *

Ok, so may not be as funny to everyone, but it cracked me up. ^-^ And I needed that!

Treasure Chest.

I've had a single (extra large one ^-^) sitting on my spindle for oh I guess over a week or so now and it's fairly well set itself. I've been meaning to ply it but just had one thing or another come up or my wrist would start hurting me and I wouldn't feel like doing it.

Last night I said, Hmpf! I'm finishing that! Helps that I'd finally decided what I was plying it with. *chuckles* So I started plying it with thread and little beads. At the half mark I started using large chunky beads with some medium sized ones mixed in. Then I folded it at the half and plied it back onto itself in a very loose ply. I adore it and can't wait to use it for something.


I know it's not really knit able as it's as big as my index finger as a single and then you double that since I plied it, but it will make a neat non knitted scarf or some interesting jewelry or perhaps even a mermaids hair. Overall I just can't wait to spin something new. ^-^

I've ordered some more roving, black green and then some white so I can possibly try my hand at dying. If nothing else the white may become some little dreads that I dip into kool-aid to dye the ends. ^-~

Book Tag

So no shortage of books in my house, but when this popped up on Twisted's blog I chuckled. My books fall into two catagories. Well three, but I don't count my kids books as mine.

A. Books I read like crazy. Stephen King, semi fantasy or sci fi and horror.

B. Books I've picked up at antique stores or estate sales to lay around the house to make it feel more like home.

So when the tag said to pick up the next nearest book I knew it would be of the second category as theres one on the table at my back.

Here's the tag.


1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five other people.


And here is the excerpt from A Short History of England by Edward P. Cheyney. Copyright 1904

"On the same occasion he did homage to the king. That is to say, he knelt before the king and took an oath to be faithful to him. This was followed by the consecration , a religious service in which the new bishop or abbot was inducted by the archbishop or some other bishops into the religious functions of his position. "

I enjoyed the book when I picked it up, its worn in some spots, the pages are long ago yellowed and it is written quite nicely. While I wouldn't call myself a history buff or lover, I do from time to time enjoy picking up books on other places. Especially when they were written before my time.


It was sold for $1.40 at a drug store at some point in the past, it's got a little stamp in the corner. Theres also an address and a few lines written in pencil. There are lines underlined and small notes in the margin throughout the book which make me smile when I come across them.


Alright.....5 other people.

Hmm...tell you what I always feel so pressed by these things to choose just the right people. And I know there are so many tags floating out there that it seems they never end. So I tell you what. If you feel like sharing a book, do so then post a comment here letting me know you have. I've always got an eye out for something new and love to see others views on books. So share, ^-^

Robot Plush

And I do mean plush. ^-^ He's quite snuggly.


Blue Fleece, red fleece and black fleece all snugly stitched together into one robot with a heart.

I was making him for my little brother for his birthday Sat......but I think I'll be making him something else. ^-~

Just had to share...

I really love a good fresh fruit smoothie and every so often I get the urge to make one. Now I make one every couple of days for the kiddos, it includes carrots and fruits and what ever good stuff I can include for them. Gotta get the good stuff in where I can. ^-~

Today I wanted to make one that I would enjoy as well (I'm not a fan of carrots in mine, they make it too gritty for me. 0-o) so I started grabbing the fruit bags from the freezer. Well its nearly stock up time again so I used what I could get ahold of and just hoped it would be yummy. It was!


So heres my new smoothie recipe.

3 spoon fulls of honey.
2 shakes of cinnamon. (My shakes are fairly good shakes, and my containers got good sized holes. So I suppose it'd be about 1tsp but you don't have to use that much)

One large chunk of frozen berry mix. (this one has ras, blue, and black berries in it)

1 Philly Swirl blueberry flavored. I(t comes in a pack of 6 or so different flavor mixes, they are in the ice cream section but are a non dairy shaved ice sort of thing. I was just using it for the ice and the blueberry flavor. I don't like to add a bunch of ice chunks as it makes it harder to blend and my lil guy is afraid of the blender.)

1 Frusion Strawberry Banana yougurt smoothie. It's cheap, its a filler and it tastes good.

Blend until smooth as you like.


Now most of the things I use I keep around, but you may not have the specific brands, any yogurt or yogurt smoothie will do, I like the smoothies better because they are liquid and i don't have to add extra juice. But I've used all kinds in these. The shaved ice thingy, really any sort of ice and flavor mix works, even if its adding blueberries and ice cubes.

Just play with it. ^-^ I like this mix the best out of all I've made lately because the hint of cinnamon kept popping up and making it interesting. Not to sweet and not to tangy, it was a hit with both the kids and myself.

*^-~ And it means I got my fruits in for the day. he he.


0-0......I grabbed my camera to shoot a few shots of the yummy stuff before it was all gone and got spooked when I went to edit the photos! Apparently something else likes my drink.

Weird.....

On a lighter note

I just had to laugh. I hadn't gripped much this morning with my right hand, so when I set about making lunch for my kiddos I noticed my hand hurt.

I looked down and I have a large bruise where I was holding my round nose pliers handle. ^-~ Guess I did a bit too much spiral making last night. he he.

Just a note.

I don't normally cross post my blogs or even tell people about the others, I like my other lives secret. ^-~, but today I'm frustrated. So I'm sharing a bit of a rant on one of my other blogs. It's been made for just that, ranting. Not a sole actually reads it (or at least that I know of no ones ever commented and I'm rarely over there) so feel free to ignore it as well.

It's about the scare we had about two weeks ago and whats happened since. But again it's a rant, with words I can't say outloud anymore (I have little ears in the house ^_^) so not really anyone friendly.

Check it here if you want to. I wouldn't mind another thought on the subject, but do understand, it's a rant blog. It's not got many posts and its rarely a. updated b. read.

And its another side of me that not everyone cares for so fair warning.
