I learned a new word today!

So, I come into work and go to fetch my timecard out of my box to clock in. It is not in its usual place, so I have to pull out a few things to find it. A piece of paper that I have not seen before catches my eye.

I read and start to laugh. The girl I am relieving looks at me. She asks why am I laughing? I say, "Look, someone has left their vocabulary homework in my box. Wasn't that nice of them to share their knowledge?"

She says, "What are you talking about?" I hand her the paper and she looks at it, then looks at me. I am still laughing as she says how mean is that. I just shrug my shoulders and say, "It's great I can further my education even at work. What a helpful individual!"

She says, "Wow. That's messed up. Why would someone do that?" I just laugh again and put the paper back into my box. She leaves as I am still cracking up.

The big joke is that someone placed a paper with the word hypocrite complete with the definition on it for me to read.

Awww, I feel so special. That I was chosen to receive the word of the day. What an honor!

LMAO!!!

I'm knitting and I just can't stop

Well, I did take a short break after finishing my Mom's scarf. See how pretty?

But I have another order that I really need to get done. Now, our weather has been very kooky. 81 degrees in the day, 42 degrees at night. Very strange.

So I am not too worried that this one is taking me a bit longer to finish. It's for my manager. She had seen the slippers I made and said if I had any if that gray left to make her a scarf. Oh, but she wants it with black stripes. I am working on it now, and once I looked at it, I started laughing.

My manager came out and asked what was so funny? Here, take a look for yourself:

For anyone who may read my journal and not recognize those colors, those are the colors of a certain football team. And of course what makes it even funnier (to me anyways) is she is a fan of that particular team. But she swears that wasn't her reasoning. It just looked pretty, she said.

Anyhow, the team is:

See what I mean? I joked that I was going to get some patches and sew them on to her Raiders scarf! She got such a funny face. But no, what I am hoping to do is find an A monogram and put one on each end.

That will be unique to her, which is what I try to do with each scarf I make.

So I am excited to get that done. Hey, it's $10 that I didn't have before. And I am going to see if I can get that apron made for my sister. I am off Tues, Wed and Fri this week so anything is possible.

Goodnight for now..

This is why I love this season. Right here.

So there is a forum I belong to and they are having a gift exchange. Now it's a goofy one and not one that you buy cutesy stuff for.

I thought it would be funny to send this person a zombie survival kit. (On the cheap side, of course)

Here is a copy of the letter I am including in the box so the recipient will understand just what the heck this box is full of.

Here's what the stuff looks like:



Yeah, it's cheesy but funny. I even decorated the outside of the box. Hopefully the post office will see the humor and allow me to send it.
