dinner talk

"if my finger tasted like my favorite food... i could bite it off and eat it, then barf it back up later and smoosh it back into the shape of my finger and then bake it so it would be stiff and glue it back on my hand. and then i could do it all over again."

conversation with a little buddy

(the conversation was sparked by this photo, hanging on my refrigerator)

little buddy: Is that O-rock Bahama?
me: you mean Barack Obama?!

little buddy: Yeah, that.

me: Yes. He's going to be our new president.

little buddy: Oh. My parents voted for McCain. JOHN McCain!

delaney: (pointing to the drawings on her arm) becca, these are my tattoos.

becca: oh really

delaney: this is a butterfly, this one is a ladybug... but it kind of looks like a pizza with a head!

becca: (laughing) how lovely.

A big Night...

...in zephyrland!

last christmas i gave my mom a ball of scrumptious emerald green wool that would look ah-mazing with her dark red hair, a set of size 10 bamboo straight needles and a copy of stitch & bitch. this along with the promise that we would hang out and knit together so i could help her learn and she would get to call it our knit while we bitch night ;) well i'm a very busy gal and she is also a very busy gal and over the past almost year we've only managed to knit together a few times... isn't that just sad?! anyhow, she is a trooper and she started and has been knitting her first scarf all by herself and tonight i got this call:

sare: hello
mom: hey, i think i'm at the part where it's time to be done... cast off - is that what it's called?
sare: yes, that's what it's called... and hey that's great i'm so excited!!!
mom: so, is casting off something you can explain to me over the phone???
sare: well... maybe... we could give that a shot!
mom: k, i'm ready!
sare: ok, so first start by knitting two stitches like normal...so now you should have two stitches on your right hand needle, right?
mom: yep!
sare: ok, now slip the right-est stitch over the top of the left-est stitch and slip it off so now you only have one stitch on the right hand needle... did that work???
mom: it did, i think...
sare: ok, now knit one more stitch like regular so you have 2 stitches on the right hand needle again and do it all over again...
mom: (slight pause followed the most excited i think i've ever heard her sound) oh my gosh. i'm doing it. it's working. I. Cannot. Beleive this is Happening. Right. Now!!!!
sare: (thinking) PRICELESS!!!

i will post a photo of her scarf as soon as i can get my hands on one!
