She's Hot on My Trail!


Lets face it. I'll never be a mastermind criminal...I leave a trail as big as a highway. Poor Cindy, whether she wants to or not, she keeps discovering it...all over! A while ago I house-sat for them which was convenient because my grandparents were staying in my room. Somewhere in that time frame I lost my debit card. I have the bad habit of sticking cards in my back pocket so I really didn't know where I had lost it. I called the gas station, I scanned her guest bedroom. (Which surpasses the guest bedroom standards set by Anne Shirley) and didn't find it. I called in for a new card, and sure enough, when she was thoroughly tidying and moving furniture in an effective manner that Cindy has mastered and she found my card. Ugh. I felt so silly. Well...several weeks after staying at her house I realise the silver band I took from my mom's childhood jewelry stash was no longer on my finger. Something you'd think I'd notice right? Wrong. Apparently it had been missing since I stayed at Cindy's house. I'm notorious for taking rings off in my sleep and sure enough Cindy recently found my ring. In the same room. Along with a pair of socks I also apparently took off in my sleep. Cindy very kindly returned them to me at dinner last night.
Think I'm done? Oh no, it doesn't stop there. Guess what else? This morning I got a call reporting that she had found my iPod cover that I enjoy very much. Apparently other people preferred the cover too because I got quite a few comments on the sock I was using as a substitute. Thanks Cindy, for being such a great detective! Ill try to stop misplacing so much of my stuff!

Pondering Production-All That Free Time

Yarn Harlot strikes again with words from Never Not Knitting! Page-A-Day Calendar.

She says:
"I swear, without a word of a lie, that the very next time someone tells me that they "wish they had all that free time to knit" I am going to look them dead in the eye and ask them what they watched on TV last night."

Yes, the Yarn Harlot is a little extreme, but also extremely relatable. It's not uncommon for me to talk to people about my hobbies and they ask "how do you have time to do that?" Well, I don't really, but I make time. I choose to designate my time to knitting, sewing, etc. If I want to watch TV or a movie, I count it as valuable knitting time too! I'm catching up on my pop culture and producing a product as well! What's that old adage? "Idle hands are the devil's work." (Bobby Jones' grandfather says that in my favorite movie of Luke's: Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius any of you with golfers in your life should definitely rent it! He's the Anne of Green Gables of Golfing!)

"just as soon as I saw it I felt it was home."

Chapter II Anne of Green Gables
This little cottage is such a kindred spirit! I could completely imagine myself living there so cozily!

Anne on Podcast!

For those of you interested in audio books, and or Anne of Green Gables, I found it as a free podcast. There is a new reader for each chapter. I havent found them to be quite as good as the reader for the Audible Audio version I purchased before I found the podcast (which I am willing to let anyone borrow when I get home) but if you like Anne and multi tasking its a good way to go! If you have questions or dificulties obtaining these free audio book podcasts, just call!
