Some good clean fun?! [Archive 2]

Do you have a Michael's by you? They have Caron Pounders on sale

[Colleenka]

There is a Michael's in the next town over, but we don't get the same sales as you and we don't have Caron here. Are they 1 lb of WW?

[_Stacy_]

Hi Stacy!!!

 

I love it so far- it seems to go quick- it feels strange crocheting with 2 strands together- I've never done that---a first for me!

And I never used the Caron Pounders before and like it! Another first!

 

It is something to adjust to, isn't it? I started one for Isabella's snuggie with a smaller hook, and it just doesn't feel right. Too stiff, I think.

[imanurse55]

Oh, my youngest DD loved hot wheels- she'll have fun with them!

 

Yes, the DD that asked me was the one who is a nurse who works in the ER. I'm not sure what she decided to do.

 

I'm with Stacy- I don't think there has been enough research on the effectiveness of the vaccine- But I am glad I get the regular flu vaccine each year- and so does DH and my nurse DD. But enough about that subject.

 

Colleen- are you crocheting in your new nook downstairs these days?

 

Stacy- how did DD do with the glasses today?

[Colleenka]

My "nook" is more storage for my crochet stuff. It doesn't have room for a chair I've got my yarn down there now and my sewing box, but I'm waiting on some magazine holders before I move my patterns down there. We have defintely made some headway on cleaning out this office, so that is a good thing. It's hard to get used to going there to get stuff, but I like it. My own little space.

 

Yes, how does Isabella like her glasses?

[_Stacy_]

Thanks Joanne. Maybe I will spend it on yarn....after Christmas though.

 

Stacy - How is your family today? How are those funny girls of yours? I just zipped out to the store because DD's #1 thing on her Santa list was on sale. You'll be surprised, my girly girl asked for a Hot Wheels Set

 

Is it the one with color-changing cars? That is on Isabella's list. I let the younger ones "browse" around the toy section today, and I saw one of the others that Isabella wanted- a Lego Police headquarters thingie. $99!! A couple of her other items were not much cheaper.

Everyone is fine. My FIL is itching to go back to work- the man cannot sit still. He cleaned the house and made dinner, my MIL said.

Oh!! Mia said the funniest thing today- but I don't know if it's appropriate to post here. That girl is just a string of unexpected observations.

 

How is your chicken tonight?

[imanurse55]

Yes, the Caron pounders are a pound of worsted weight- not as stiff as RHSS, not as soft as Caron Simply Soft.

 

I'm using a P hook- and I'm doing HDC - that is what LeaAnne said she did and I like the look of the HDC.

[irishrose]

Besties! I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I can't stay. Have a great chat! Love you all!

[imanurse55]

Maybe you can post what Mia said on FB?...don't want you getting censored here!

 

And, again Stacy- I can't tell you enough how beautiful your square is! Colleen you are going to LOVE it!

[imanurse55]

Hi and Bye Shannon---hope you and Janna are feeling better every day....miss ya around here!

[_Stacy_]

That's so nice to have your own little craft space! In our next house, that is going to be a must!

 

Hi Shannon! Bye Shannon!

 

Isabella seemed to do well with the glasses. She was wearing them when I went to pick her up, which is a good sign.

[Colleenka]

Shannon

 

Stacy - No, I saw the one where they change colours. This one is a Super Jump Raceway or something. It is $70 regular and I got it for $52.50 plus I had a $15.00 gift card from trading in my rewards points, so I'm happy. Oh I know she'll have fun with it (and so will DH ). It's kinda nice that she didn't pick the Barbie Glamour Camper or something like that. I'm Barbie'd out.

 

My nephew has that police headquarters. He saved up his money for a year. I know, it's expensive. It's cool though. More like a collectors item. It has handcuffs and jail cells with toilets and everything. DD just bought the city corner with her $ from the whole year. She's having fun with it.

[Colleenka]

Yes, I'm so excited for Stacy's square.

[_Stacy_]

I don't know if I want to post it on FB, either- it's about "private areas." The girl just cracks me up.

 

Thank you for the compliment on the square. I'm so glad you like it! The "points" were supposed to have 2 more dc each but it made the square super-ruffly.

[Colleenka]

What do you have on this weekend, Joanne? No work? No games to attend?

[imanurse55]

Speaking of Barbie- does she have her snow pants? Hey at least you won't have to worry about dressing the matchbox cars!

[Colleenka]

Stacy, my DD just asked me today if she could marry a girl..... I had to be careful answering that one. Legally in Canada she could, but how do you explain that. Anyway, it turned out she wanted to marry her little friend. When I explained to her she could be best friends with her and didn't have to marry her she was happy.

[_Stacy_]

Good deal on the Raceway!

Mia wants the Barbie Glamour Camper. It is actually $15 cheaper at Target than Wal-mart.

[Colleenka]

No, Barbie's pants are still one-legged. I'll finish that this weekend hopefully. True, I won't have to for the cars And they won't leave glitter all over the house

[imanurse55]

No work this weekend!!!! I have to go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. I have to touch base with 2 of my DD's to see what they are planning on making on Wed and see if they want me to pick it up this weekend. I doubt that DD from Boston will be bringing anything down, and sometimes DD from Philly stops at the farmer's market b/4 she comes. Other than that, I have to work on the flannelghan- DH's birthday is Tuesday!!!!...I thought it was Wednesday, but today at work when I realized today was the 20th, that would make the 24th Tuesday---one less day to work on it!

[Colleenka]

Sounds like a relaxing weekend, Joanne. Good luck with getting the 'ghan done by Tuesday. Another November birthday, I like Mr. Imanurse

[_Stacy_]

I don't know- they do make car covers, you know!

 

Colleen, that is a hard one. Roomie is bi and one of the first books she ever read to Isabella (when we all lived in the apartment building) was a book about a girl with 2 mommies. My poor daughter was so confused. We just talked a lot and answered all of her questions honestly.

Oh, that was a tricky question. I think you did fine answering the way you did. I'll tell you, these little ones really make you think quick on your feet, don't they?

 

Stacy and Colleen- you have to write this stuff down. I so wish I had when my DD's were younger- it would have been so much fun to show them things they used to say.

[_Stacy_]

for no work! Do your dh's children come for the holidays, also?

[Colleenka]

Oh I know Stacy, I don't mind answering her questions honestly. It just kind of caught me off guard. Our preschool had a couple mommy mommy families and they are quite common in this city (it has a liberal core). The things they ask, though!
