Words for the YoYo
Oh, I disagree with KnittingKninja - I had THREE babies, AND a herpes ulcer in my eye. The babies were nothin'. The eye? That eye pain truly was as close to truly unbearable as I could imagine; I can't even tolerate the THOUGHT of contacts and I WAS wanting to take the eyeball out and throw it. (And no...I was NOT "looking for love in all the wrong places," har har har.) However - I would SO come over for supper at your house - I'll second the request for recipes, please!!
I totally forgot about the Grammy's, so I didn't see one second of it. I went to see the Rolling Stones in Halifax in September/06. Sloan, Alice Cooper, and Kanye West (yes, how outta place was he in the scheme of things) opened for them. I was very thankful that KW wasn't on stage very long. That sort of music doesn't do a lot for me, and I always find him such a whiney, spleeny thing.
But I love your knitting stuff. So keep it coming.
I, for one, would not mind one iota if you never showed us knitting stuff again. These stories about Life are just so dang funny. (Sorry about the devil juice.)
I got a full-blown wood

/still a 13 year old boy inside.
Still I think the grammy's were a waste of time. I agree with the herbie thing. THAT was great but anything promoting the mess that is Amy Winehouse is out of order. She does not deserve any praise for being a druggie.
Totally agree with you about the kids today...I see it at school all the time! Jealous of your Ikea! Ours opens next year!
Thank you so much for the Kanye comment...it happened exactly when I turned the show on for the first time..and it was still going on when I turned the show off.
I raise my fist in solidarity to the Kanye hate. Way to exploit your mom's death, ya dickhead.
Also, my eye hurts just from reading that. If you get into the shower without fulling undressing, that's some pain.
ROFLOL, seriously, 'a full-blown wood' way too funny. Or am I just an uber goober.
Were the Grammys on last night??
Your mom is right about the over-abundance of positive feedback. I've actually had eighth graders *tell* me that they're better than I am. Evidently I'm old and cranky because many of the little turds make me weep for the future.
Ahhhh, Ikea. I can't wait until ours is built and open . . . in the meantime though, Orlando's not that far.
I've done the "wash hands three times, forget all about the jalapenos, rub eyes an hour later" routine and that's bad enough. Unadulterated gobbets must have felt like death.
I think Kanye is a big old douche bag!!! I was hysterical when Vince Gill made the comment about him and getting an award from a Beatle 
And I ADORE Ikea. Yay Swedes!
oh my. i do hope the eye will be okay very very soon.
we watched the grammy's last nite (usuallyw e don't) and wondered WHY were the beatles STILL getting honored and awards? WHen everyone knows that yes they are the greatest band that ever existed...and they've won everything and gotten every honor that is in existance.
the baby boomers have to die off sometime.
altho you will hate be, but i like that song kanye does with daft punk. But i'm a common sort of girl myself.
pissed wilco didn't win.
Yowch! Hot pepper juice in the eye, and especially the nose, is NOT nice. It is, however, nicer than giving birth. So be thankful. If given the choice again (which I won't b/c one kid is enough, thank you very much), I'd voluntarily squeeze the juice in my eyes and nose before I ever gave birth again.
I understand from some men who've handled peppers, and then handled, uh, themselves, that it's a really, really unpleasant scene/surprise when all they thought they were in for was going to pee.
Now, Herbie Hancock? I could not have been prouder. He's the most-famous alumni Grinnell College can boast about, granted, he was one class short of graduation, but we claim him and I was happy. I don't get a lot of opportunities to scream "Herbie Hancock! Grinnellian!" but my husband is acutely aware after 9 years together that Herbie Hancock is, indeed, a Grinnell alum.
Kanye, on the other hand, needs a nice hot cup of STFU. I enjoyed Vince Gill's little dig immensely.
Sadly, when I was prepping some from the garden to be dried I managed to get pepper juices in my eyes and under my fingernails at the same time. Figuring out how I got in my eyes yet? Yea, lets just say I won't be doing that again anytime soon.
I want your black bean tortilla pie recipe please. It sounds heavenly.

Oh, we didn't talk about the grammys today! We should do that.
I like how people make fun of Kanye and then apologize. Look out Usher, Kanye may hurt you.
Oh, God. I too have suffered the pain of jalapeno in the eye. Including the time I had juice on my fingers when I took my contacts out. FYI, contact lens cleaning solution does not remove jalapeno juice from contacts. As I learned the next morning when I tried to put them back in.
