On the Road

November 24, 2003

Quick post. Yep, sure am feeling better than I was over the weekend. However, I haven’t been taking it easy, working long shifts with short turns (ten hours off) because now other people are sicker than I. That’s the way the cookie crumbles, though, isn’t it? (Oh, I loved the Cookie Monster….)

Have to go in early tomorrow on my day off for overtime and then I’m driving from work to the folks’ for Thanksgiving, so I won’t be posting or checking email until probably Friday night. I’ll be taking the two cats (my catsitter doesn’t do holidays, and can you blame her?) so wish me luck. Sometimes I put the top down on the ‘vertible just to drown out the howling. Five solid hours of Digit keening is enough to make me a dog person.

I leave you with the scary fact that my site got hit by a person searching for “Indigo Girls stalker.” That’s frightening for many, many reasons.

And this. I know we know where angora comes from, but look at this. This kills me:

From here (more pics, but slow load). Thanks, OutOut, for the link.

And proof I still knit occasionally, the sleeves and the fronts of the Must-Have, just cast on for the back:

Happy Thanksgiving. Give the love you’ve got – we’re so lucky, ain’t we?

    Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday! Love the link to to the world famous Angora’s.. Have 5 of my own… as a handspinner they make my artistic life very, very good 🙂 You should consider getting one, great housepets! And would force you to spin!

    So that’s what it looks like when you cross Bugs Bunny with that sheep dog (Max? you know what I’m talking about, right? “Morning, Ed.” “Morning, Max.”). You should have a contest for the best caption for that picture. The Must Have cardie is looking fantastic! And, finally, my very first word was “cookie.” Guess why.

    “Must Have” looks fab — I must have one! (hee!) Also, a great big WTF? is that hairy thing?! Rabbit? Who knew!? Glad you’re feeling somewhat better.

    Glad you’re feeling better 🙂
    The Must Have Cardi looks awesome!!! I cast on for it last night 🙂 I’m doing the front and back all together … no steek, just knitting back and forth up to the arm holes 🙂 I’m hoping that this way, I won’t quit knitting it after I get one piece done *lol*

    Is that white thing what you Americans have for Thanksgiving? Totally and completely kidding, said she, the former vegan, who should be ashamed of herself. ;=)
    At last google is working properly. If someone is looking for an Indigo Girls stalker, certainly they have come to the right blog. :+)
    I think I’m looking for trouble today. Have I come to the right place. :-^
    Happy Thanksrabbitgiving,

    Where do I begin? The angora bunny is HILARIOUS — I had no idea they’d be so… voluminous. The Must Have Cardi is looking beautiful! I want to make one too. I really love it, and it’ll look great on you. A five-hour drive with the cats? Good luck, sister. And “Indigo Girls stalker”? LOL! (Do you think it was Amy Ray using Google?!) Have a fabulous holiday with your family, Rachael!

    Pretty, pretty, pretty. The sweater. The bunny is a little–well–I don’t want to offend any bunny lovers… (Actually, it appears to be built like one of my cats.) Lucky we are, indeed; happy Thanksgiving to YOU!

    I posted comment last night, it disappeared.
    What a picture. Rachael cruising the King’s Highway, top down, Indigo girls blasting and pussies howling. Whee!
    On earlier post: Dontcha just love saying “caulk?” It makes such a noise.
    Have a great holiday, sweetpea!

    The rabbit very closely resembles me when I forget to use hair gel!

    Happy Thanksgiving Miss Rachael and fellow Cookie Monster fan!
    Love that rabbit. I’d like to use him as my mascot 🙂
    P.S. Sweater is looking soooo pretty. Finish it so you can wear it, already.
