i think i’m there. you know, the “there’. right “there” on the edge.
so i had a full day of quilting. not the norm any more. thoroughly enjoyed myself. cranked up the tunes because well since BIG BROTHER decided that the world had to go digital i get no tv at the clubhouse. i barely get tv at the main house…..and what a conglomeration it is to get 3 channels there…..we have a roof top antenna, a table top antenna, a digital tv, and a converter box. all to wrangle 3 channels for my viewing pleasure. and just in case that isn’t enough…..don’t even think about getting up and moving around the room because you’ll INTERRUPT the one signal that is making it into the house. and please SAVE me from one local station’s weather orgasms. if there is wind in buckhound SD, this station sends a crew out there to document it and then proceeds to interrupt every 7.25 minutes to tell me there is wind in buckhound sd. i get it……. so anyway…..goodbye regis, oprah, dr. phil, ellen etc. hello tonic solfa, dixie chicks, harry etc.
i’m cooking along when i notice loops. loops are BAD. i tweak. more loops. i untweak. still loops. i change needles. loopy. i major clean. loopfest. breathe deep. meditate. looping. and the quilt is done so now to deal with loops. it’s not hard. it’s just piddly. and it cranks me off.
scott leaves for ballgame. i’m delooping. he returns i’m still unlooping. he asks…..”what’s up”. i snarl. he gets himself a snack and asks “do you want anything” i growl. he gets it and leaves me to loopless.
me: in my head because even i know it’s crazy talk. “really? must you crunch your cheese? and what’s with the eyeblinking? what are you trying to send a signal to BIG BROTHER through the weather man? is breathing necessary for you? here let me help you give it up”
yeah about this time i’m pretty sure it’s me. and i wanna think little happy thoughts about rainbows. but i can’t. i’m thinking “gads! just punch your face off because you are so mean you shouldn’t HAVE a face.”
so i go to bed.
and he comes to bed with the hic ups. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? yeah. it’s not enough that you jerk your leg every 11 seconds. FOR HOURS. noooooo. you have to hic up on top of that.
ok, punch my face off.
hmmmm…….ahhhhh…….yeah………IT MIGHT BE YOU! (I’m scared for Mr. P and that doesn’t happen OFTEN!)
Thanks for the laugh.
don’t worry about mr. p. he can take care of himself!
very scarey!
It’s the lack of quality quilty time…. that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…. says the woman who woke her husband up to tell him to stop snoring so loud that I couldn’t hear the weather radio….
LOL
Hmmm….could it be? Could your DH be my DH’s long lost twin brother??? LOL! Nah! But I feel for you, I really do!
I just hate those stupid loops!!! Got them on my GC occasionally, have them on my A-1 occasionally…and ALWAYS when I don’t have time to waste frogging and always after I’ve been too cocky to check the underside of my quilt every few minutes.
Best of luck with the loopies. Hope today goes better for you!
ya know, it seems scott is the long lost brother of LOTS of DH’s!
It can’t be you Kay, nope, not you.
oh freda, YOU’RE my favorite!
It’s the evil loopies. They make me snarl too!
yep yep yep.
Maybe looking at your sister’s photo of the double rainbow will help you think those happy thoughts. If not, perhaps medication will help. Just a suggestion. Oh, and remind me not to eat cheese around you ever again.
) Thanks for the funny! Now go look at that photo.
never fear, i’ll let you know if you are crunching your cheese!
omg… could i be anymore like my mother!
probably not!
Just be thankful it was coming out of his mouth and not the other end….happened to Mark and I said very naughtily – “Cover Your As_” and he woke up and started laughing – so now there is always a little joke about that when we’re both in bed and actually both awake!
sometimes i just don’t know what to say to you kelly!
