Mom has just caused me much angst. I have had The Fight Song by Santus Real stuck in my head for over an hour now. I love that song. So, I decided to play it. So I go down to my room and look on my desk where I was pretty sure I'd left it and IT WAS FLIBBING GONE. So I tore my room apart and looked all over creation and even called Sierra to see if she had stolen it. I moved furniture, looked under clothes, went through my dresser drawers, and asked all the siblings. It.Was.Nowhere. ARGH. SO. I call Mom to see if she's seen it, and she's like "Oh, yeah, it's in the Suburban because I took it to the lock-in." That was over a week ago. *stare*

Mom. You aren't allowed to steal my CDs. Not even for lock-ins. Not even for David Crowder. Neverever.

*angst*

pretty well why I learned. I've been at it a year and a half. Mayhaps I should get you to send me your baby hat pattern...

I hear you, Mara. My mom has thrown out little itty bitty pieces of paper on which I had phone numbers of people I reallyreally wanted to call and hadn't seen in a long time and had no way of ever getting the number ever again. And that made me angsty.

At least you'll get the CD back. Forgive your mom. She's a good woman.

I used no pattern. I just counted a lot. Or maybe that's how patterns work... *laugh* I should Google some knitting patterns to increase my knowledge and awesomeninity.

That is the worst thing ever. I hate losing phone numbers.

I forgive her, but I am still angsty.

I haven't used a pattern yet, either... well, that's not entirely true. I used one for the poncho I started and never really finished...

That's not so bad. As when you ask, and ask, and ask, and still no one knows where the CD went. And finally, you give up in despair.

True Story:
I lost my brother's copy of Fight The Tide for somewhere like six months, because I had it in my multi-CD case, and the case is black, and once upon a time, I'd put a little-used CD in on top of the also-black Fight the Tide. It was kind of amusing when the dust had settled and the tears had evaporated.

[Mara]

Dana: my baby hat was the first thing I ever finished. Because I'm a lazy person, and before I started the hat I didn't know how to purl. But now I know how so I can do awesome things.

Small: That is a funny true story. Haha. I do stuff like that every so often. Like stacking papers together and getting CDs stuck in between them. It isn't fun. And then when you find it you feel stupid.

I want my CD back now. I'm going to go get it in a minute here.

Among other comments I'd feel like making, the fact that you have never eaten a Klondike Bar nearly brought tears to my eyes. I actually felt a swelling of compassion in my chest. It was extraordinarily sad. Oh, and by the way. The Morning Meeting will not be on hiatus for as long as I thought. I'll be gone only for a week and a half after your return.
And in conclusion, perhaps someone who doesn't care about the World Cup doesn't deserve to eat a Klondike bar.

Now I have to try one.

Yay! *joy*

*stare* Ouch!

[danalyn]

I am glad you have learned to purl. Good girl.

[ICTHUS]

MahRuh, Klondike Bars are heavenly.

Someone said that something was "divine" the other day. As in "really good". I think they were British, but it was funny. Saying that something is "divine" is almost on par with saying it is "swell".

I saw the Olympic flag outside City Hall the other day, next to the big Canadian flag. I don't know why I'm sharing that with you, except that it was impressive to see it flying there. (In case you didn't know, Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics)

Did you ever find your other shoe from when you couldn't find it over Easter? If not, what did you do for a shoe?

I found a copy of The Cat in the Hat lying on the sidewalk a couple of weeks ago. Score! I didn't have a copy of that book, and now I do.

What are you going to do today?

I do not understand this. What makes a Klondike Bar so heavenly?

That is awesome. I am going to have to start saying that now. Swell is a good word, too.

Oooh, that's cool. I didn't know they were hosting the 2010 Olympics. I suppose that makes you extra schpecial.

Did you ever find your other shoe from when you couldn't find it over Easter? If not, what did you do for a shoe?

I did find it! If I hadn't found it I probably would have worn another pair of shoes that I have, except they didn't match as well.

I found a copy of The Cat in the Hat lying on the sidewalk a couple of weeks ago. Score! I didn't have a copy of that book, and now I do.

I know! I read about that in your blog. That is hilarious. That book is funny. The movie that came out somewhat recently was kind of dumb though. As far as I remember, at least.

What are you going to do today?

Babysit. That's the only plans I have so far. I might make some friends come play airsoft with me, or just play with siblings and neighbors. You never know.


OH YEAH. I GOT AN AIRSOFT GUN. It is blue and shoots stuff. It makes me feel mean. *muahaha*

[ICTHUS]

Uh oh. I smell trouble. *sniffs*

Mara, is an airsoft gun the same as a paintball gun, or is that a different gun altogether?

It's like a BB gun, but the BBs are plastic and intended for shooting humanly things.
