Instead of finishing the Print o' the Wave-wait I'll make the Morning
Glory Shawl instead, I'm training the dogs to slay zombies today.
Yes. This foul task was going to be put off until spring, but it's
been an unusually warm fall. The ground hasn't frozen and we're damn
near being taken over by zombies, I need the back up.
Honestly, the couch to 5k thing wasn't just for fitness, it's really
for survival. I don't know how Southerners put up with it. Heat and
zombies. They both put a cramp in my style. Besides, when do you have
time to knit, with all that zombie slaying and being fit?

Home Grange #129 has a Blog
Home Grange #129 has it's own blog now. Really, go check it out.
Home Grange #129
It's really not totally cool, yet. But it tells about the awesome Swiss Steak Supper that will be hosted there this Friday. Yes, Swiss Steak and real mashed potatoes.
Plus in the upper hall you can go see my loverly hand made with snot scarves.
They may smell like coffee. Koffee Klutch coffee to be exact. But they will make a lovely gift at a low price for someone you love. They may also get them started on coffee, if they aren't already, so a gift idea for next year as an added bonus!
What have I been up to?
Nothing-but trouble.
Dogs, small? Erika, where do you live. Sarah is a fashion model. That is not real fur.
Katie, Elizabeth "the favorite college student" Marty, Ralph "Ray" Fienes aka Andrea's Boyfriend

It's always weird
I finally rode the goat at National Grange!
only to hang out with Lloyd the bartender.
It was cool. He just told me to steer clear of the 3rd through 11th floors.
Of course, we were staying on the 5th floor.
Actual hallway at Amway Grand! Not from the Overlook!
I did not run into any creepy twins though.
They were at home celebrating early Thanksgiving .
This was the Rose, uh, something. I really wasn't paying attention.
I was busy being fancy. No, I wasn't Flora this time, but I was a court lady. Still too important to pay attention to the Rose whatever. Joking, I was behind a curtain and couldn't really tell what was going on. Plus that lack of attention thing.
I also got to hang out with some awesome people from Wisconsin, wait, Minnesota! Hey, this was National Grange, people were from all over.
Also, I did spend some time with Lloyd
.
Then I was told to look for my ornament on the tree.
No, not this tree. I made one of the ornaments.
See this tree. The Charlie Brown style tree.
My crappy knitting goes NATIONAL!!! Yes, with Faith, Hope and Perseverance my knitting made it to National Grange!
Ok here's the real story, ornament voting was "People's Choice" and unlike the Ogre I will vote for myself. Plus I was like 5th place. I know, pathetic.
The photo of Lloyd is totally under copyright of the movie The Shining. It was directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the Stephen King book by the same name. At the time Stephen King was all pissed off because he was like (paraphrasing by heresy here) "you totally ruined my book, that movie is shit!" But I believe The Shining is pure freaking genius. I love to watch it during a blizzard, while eating ice cream and drinking hooch. Maybe it's a Michigan thing?
He is not the goat, he is holding a crate of goodies
Then it got all weirdly American Idol auditions and I decided to take this girl's advice and Breakaway.

Holiday Knitting-Up in Smoke
Knitting for other people is always hit or miss.
Over the last few days I've picked up a few pointers on how to avoid the misses.
1. Send them photos of what you are willing to make, and let them pick.
Thanks Laura! That's a good idea.
2. Consider person's jacket, taste or style and ignore your own. Knit from there.
Wow, Andrea, you are knitting a scarf to match your nieces Varsity Jacket? Brilliant!
Shelly knit a yellow duck sweater. It pained her to do it. He loved it.
3. Make them something practical, say, dishcloths, that don't really matter anyway.
Ok, I did do that last year.
4. Give yourself enough time to finish item, decide which Holiday, in which Year you are knitting for.
I made that one up as a reminder for me. I have a problem with that whole time thing being linear for most people, I don't really see it that way. Neither does Einstein.
I'm putting these down here, because I of course can't follow rules or suggestions, and did this.
Que the dream sequence, white smoke, white fluffy dresses, long flowing hair,...
I want to make a pretty, skinny, cable-y scarf for PK, with this yarn...
Rowan, tapestry in Potpourri
I will make the Pale Skies Cowl, it will take 2 minutes to knit, it will be done in time for the Holidays...in 2009! Before we go to Disney, no, no, before American Thanksgiving (because you know my heart belongs to Canada.)
End dream sequence.
Yeah, as it turns out PK, has a bright red jacket, a green jacket and now this jacket... that's PURPLE. Since we live in Michigan she likes her scarves the way she likes her jackets, thick, and warm.
But it's cool, it gets me out of finishing the Pale Skies Cowl, and that scarf had buttons. You've seen my sweaters, you know how I feel about buttons, I'm damn near Amish.

Yes, now I will go run
Today Dr Indiana Jones craps on the floor and it's full of worms. I sort of saw this coming, I am a microbiologist after all. Monkey poo, dog poo, worms are worms.
Like a good dog owner I call the vet office and say "if my puppy has anal leakage, do you think it's due to the worms or the switch in dog food?"
Our awesome receptionist knows it's me and says "Holly, bring your dog in, let's deworm that poor baby." Did I mention that I'd take the Pigs there for their physicals too if it was at all legal?
So, Indy, dewormed.
At home, I realized, HOLY WORMY DOG CRAP! I left the groceries out on the counter for Copper to eat. That dog could be in the ESPN Lumber Jack Games of Jumping and Eating Crap off the Counter. (I was very tempted to make a wiki entry for that, with photos and everything, but really, I should be at the gym)
Instead of going the bathroom, which I had to do really, really bad, I let the dogs out, put the groceries away, and, while putting the Pork Loin (the actual pork, not Copper, because we call him Pork Loin on occasion, you know, like when the Zombie Invasion really happens, watch out Copper, we're gonna eat you! Come here my sweet little Pork Loin! I farted, and got a little extra. Yeah, as I learned earlier this year, NEVER TRUST A FART.
There you go. I hope you enjoyed that little pick me up.

Raise your glass...for Health!
When your Mom told you "if all your friends jump off a bridge, would you jump too?"
Well, I was the one always jumping off the bridge, or the roof.
All I want to do is have some fun
I wanted to have fun. So if you follow, that's your choice, but you're probably going to have a good time.
They took the leap
So what's up with the Couch to 5k thing? (or c25k) I think it comes down to, I don't want to die alone. No, I am trying to use my powers for good not evil.
Like "Hey! Let's knit some Kidney Kozies!" Has randomly turned into "Let's make our asses look good and keep our hearts healthy!"
The app I downloaded for my ipod sounded cool "listen to your tunes, then a voice will tell you when to run and when to walk." Awesome!
I tested this out last week before the Official ZPDK start date. I did the nice voice said "begin warm up now" so I walked the road for 5 minutes.
Then an air raid siren went off and a voice yelled RUN, RUN NOW! I of course ran like it was a zombie invasion, promptly stepped into a decomposing raccoon, and fell down into the ditch.
Did I cry? NO!! Because by they time I stopped laughing, it was time to "begin walking now."
As a side note, when a guy is harvesting his corn field, he will not "give you a lift home" on his giant farm equipment. But he will laugh, in a nice way if you ask.
I have started going to the local gym to do my running. No, I don't go to the pretty girl treadmill room. I'm a singer, a grunter and a laugher when I "run."
So, remember, I may lead you down a bad path, but you know it's going to be a fun ride, or in this case a healthy one.
(If you need an inspirational run mix, I will be posting one soon. Sure to make you laugh while you run too.)

Han Solo
You know, the more you chop your hair off,
the more your friends chop their hair off.
Sorry WonderWhyGal, your hair is not short...
The more you graduate from college, the earlier you drink in the morning.
Congrats on your Masters Sarah!! Mimosas all around!!
The more your Ogre goes to Atlantic City, the smaller your dog gets. Wait, I think that's wrong. Because here is my current dog, full grown beagle:
Copper, Copernicus! Mighty Bird Hunter!
Here is Dr. Indiana Jones at 8 weeks old. They're about the same size.
For those of you in the know, I have one statement for you...WE NAMED THE DOG INDIANA!
Why? I missed Bubba, Berger, my big dog. Copper is sweet, but he really hates it when I tackle him.

Rule 1, Cardio
As stated by Cleveland, rule #1 is Cardio. Because those damn zombies may not be smart, but they are persistent.
As part of any well rounded Zombie Slayers program, we really should include some sort of Cardio Program. Plus, many of us live in Michigan.
Besides high unemployment, low education, and shitty weather, we also are deemed to be one of the least healthy states in America. Hurrah to Michigan! We’re like begging for a Zombie Take Over!
We’re good at joining in, and better at quitting (except for smoking and drinking) so let’s start something new!
Couch to 5k!!
Because starting a running program before the snow flies is smart!!
I downloaded the Ipod app for $3.99
The link above has links to podcasts, apps for other stuff, free stuff or just info.
But the gist is…get off your butt.
To celebrate atyourBecandcall and I were thinking…
Run (Walk)
Hearty Hustle 5k in Vicksburg Mother’s Day Saturday
Cheetah Chase Binder Park Zoo Battle Creek June
Etc, etc
If you are IN let’s Make the official start date….
Monday, November 16th
If you are on Ravelry, join us at the Zombie Prom Date Knitters Forum, this info is there also...
Come on, you know you want to...
It's dead already!
I showed you all my favorite cup. Now here's my favorite dish rag.
Yes, I knit and I could make a new one. Many, many new ones. Remember my giant cone of cotton last year? I made gifts! Probably unappreciated gifts!
So here I am, with my favorite dish rag. Heading toward the garbage.
In it goes.
What am I thinking??? I see a dirty spot on that cupboard door...I don't want to use a nice wash rag on that filth, I'll use this old grungy one!!
That's why this damn thing is still hanging around.
I'm having the same problem with the Evil Camera. I want a new camera REAL bad, but the Evil Camera still works, sort of. If you hold it just right, adjust the buttons, and don't mind that the photos are a bit less than awesome, and well are full of evil.
Yeah, I'm taking Pig 2 out and we're buying a new less evil camera. Wait, what if it turns out the camera isn't evil, and it was me all along?
As for knitting, I still do that too.
Look, it's wavey. These aren't accidental, ok most of them are where they are supposed to be, the rest of them are artistically placed waves.

Oh, why do I torture it so
I really do knit. I may not be that good at it, but I enjoy it and that's really what counts.
So the knit pattern I am torturing currently is still the Pale Skies Cowl from Knitscene. In theory, it's for my PK.
But shhhhh, don't tell her, because it may not turn out and she may get a bunch of dishcloths instead. Or I may have to cut off one of her legs and give her a single sock.

My Cup
This is the glass I drink out of.
No, sorry, it's a cup. Really, the Ogre and I had a discussion about this.
The cup. All of our cups are the same. I don't want Pig germs. I wanted my own cup, and my own germs.
So now I have my own that Says Rogue on the front (although it sort of looks like Bogue in this photo) and Dare*Risk*Dream on the back. One little thing makes me feel so happy and reminds me to dare risk and dream.
With this in mind here are a few things that make me happy, and some of the fun things that I like to do. I thought I'd share them with you...
1. My own CUP
2. Not sharing toothpaste. (it may be another germ thing, but I like crest, he likes other stuff)
3. Kicking leaves is something alright.
4. Question authority. Really...the best advice I've ever gotten. I think I've taken it to heart.
5. Sheryl Crow is right, a good beer buzz early in the morning is awesome.
6. If you go to a brew pub, don't be a pussy, get the damn beer.
7. I don't care if it's 10:30 am.
8. I suggest the sampler, at any brew pub.
9. That guy with one leg, he needs your single sock syndrome sock. Don't beat yourself up.
10. Not all ladies are bitches, some of them are just shy. Go talk to them. Then decide if they are bitches are not. You may find your new best friend.
11. Smiles freaking are contagious.
12. It really does crack me up when the Pigs swear.
13. I dress the way I do, because I like it.
14. Fancy socks make you feel good.
15. Sometimes you need to try the expensive cheese, beer, etc, it tastes good.
16. Garbage men are people too. Bag your kitty litter, tip your waiter, hold doors for people, give up seats for others.
17. Dogs, horses and cats roll in the grass. I do too. It feels good.
18. Sometimes, my white girl gangsta lean, makes me want to buy a 1986 Ford Escort convert it to a french fry oil burning machine and tour the country playing piano and singing Elvis Costello covers. I can neither sing, play piano, nor convert cars.
19. I love taking the Pigs on adventures. They think a field, a stream a parking garage is cool.
20. Share a book with a friend. Share a book with a kid. Share a book with the world with Bookcrossing!
21. Tiny rubber bands make great stitch markers
22. I really do like to roll in the grass.

29 again, still, ALWAYS!!
So what does a girl do for her 6th 29th birthday? Well, when you make up your own rules like I do, people pretty much expect you to do what you want.
I started the day husking brains from their shells.
You know those hungry zombies, and that clever Pig 1. He's trying to domesticate them as a 4th grade class project.
I started my day off with a lovely breakfast with
Pig 3 will have a real mustache and I'll still be 29
Pig 3, Sir-Frogs-A-Lot, White Rabbit, and Other Marty.
Then it was off to the Wonder Why Alpaca Farm to help with a school field trip.
Did I mention it was pouring rain and freezing? I didn't notice! I was having fun!
Then friends showed up too! After the field trip kids left, we ended up staying in the pool house barn and playing with fiber and...celebrating!
Someone thought they were funny and got me a spatula.
That's cool, because it was attached to a very potent rum and coke cake! Someone said "oooh, I like the after taste." They were not of legal age. I feel for that mother's future.
Read Spinny's adventures making it! Now, Spinny has a birthday coming up, and I have a gift in store for her. Don't worry Shannon, I got it at State Grange...
Then it was home to the family for a nice quiet dinner, more spinning and talks of a new evil camera...
One camera, so much evil...
Me loving bag sewing! My SECOND failed venture into mitten knitting. Does anyone know someone who needs one mitten? Or who has one large hand?

Kidney Kozy Drop off!!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has again, and again stepped up to the plate and put in extra time and energy and $ to work on the Kidney Kozy project.
Christy was super nice, remembered meeting me at the National Kidney Foundation Kidney walk, and was gracious enough to not say "about time" or "what took you so long."
So, again, thank you to all of you who worked on this project. It really was great to see all of our hard work, fun times, and laughter being dropped of with people who really appreciated it and would use it, no matter what size or color it was!!
Also, if you are ever bored and just want to do some mindless knitting...let me know, I'll throw some yarn at you. There are always people who need their kidneys (or kidney) warmed up!!
Side note-In true Snotty form, I went from downtown to goat farm in 2 minutes. Yes, lost, lost lost.
(Oh, and not to mention every other crazy ass idea that we seem to come up with.)
I dropped off 14 Kozies to
FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE
2845 CAPITAL AVENUE SW SUITE 104
BATTLE CREEK, MI 49014
(which was technically Kazoo Knit Crochet’s turf-but Home Grange donated some and that is where they wanted to send some, it’s down the road from them)
Which Kozy did you make?
Then I drove by the infamous pink ghetto house of 1000monkeysknit got flipped off by a construction worker, made the international sign for “kidney” and then jumped a curb and headed toward…and dropped off 10 to:
FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE
BATTLE CREEK NORTH

Christy was super nice, remembered meeting me at the National Kidney Foundation Kidney walk, and was gracious enough to not say "about time" or "what took you so long."
So, again, thank you to all of you who worked on this project. It really was great to see all of our hard work, fun times, and laughter being dropped of with people who really appreciated it and would use it, no matter what size or color it was!!
Also, if you are ever bored and just want to do some mindless knitting...let me know, I'll throw some yarn at you. There are always people who need their kidneys (or kidney) warmed up!!
Side note-In true Snotty form, I went from downtown to goat farm in 2 minutes. Yes, lost, lost lost.
