Newsflash December 18, 2007 ~ 12:03 pm
Posted by Julie in : Craftiness Is Next To Godliness, Random Insanity , trackbackThe socks were finished at 11:44 PM last night. Now onto the mittens.
Admit it, you guys are all tired of the knitting content, aren’t you? Just for those of you that are, I will add that Pepperidge Farms Chessmen suck. No other shortbread cookie leaves me with a weird aftertaste in my mouth. As a matter of fact, the only thing I expect an aftertaste from is cough syrup.
Which reminds me of when I worked at a grocery store on breaks during college, and there was this one woman who would buy two bottles of NyQuill every week. Every week, people. And she never had a cold. How sad do you have to be to drink freakin’ NyQuill for a high? And how high was her NyQuill tolerance that she was going through two bottles a week? I mean, one dose and I’m on my ass.
Also, when I worked at the grocery store, the owner’s son worked as a stockboy and used to get high doing whipits off of cans of whipped cream. Ah, life in small town Pennsylvania.
Check it out! I talked about something besides knitting!! Now that’s a newsflash.

I have faith in you. Mittens are usually a fairly quick knit.
Except when you’re improvising a pair of Broad Streets to go over gout-ridden hands…
Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to get some Mad Dog 20/20? Or Wild Irish Rose? But then again, with Nyquil you can pretend you’re not a drunk.
Knit on, woman, knit on.
Hence the “usually.”
Grace~Exactly. But now that I’ve realized how easy mittens should be, my brother is getting some next year.
Vince~Mad Dog 20/20 reminds me of college. Dump a little of the orange flavor in orange juice, and there you have my sophomore year. That and Everclear mixed with Kool-Aid in a garbage can.
Oh, was this a sad Meadville character of the Nyquil habit? I wonder if she tried to avoid having the same cashier and you only caught her on the weekly basis, and really, she bought it every day, at odd hours…oh that is so sad to think about.
Nyquil gives me massive heartburn. To get my bottle-a-day down I have to mix it with that Cranberry Sierra Mist.
an unrelated word of caution - if all of a sudden your blog disappears, and instead you’re asked to download something weird…
bluehost is switching to php5, whatever that means. my blog is fubar until my server is done (and according to someone on the forum, the fact that this is happening during php5 switch over is a MAJOR SECURITY RISK! AWESOME!), so if you try my site and can’t get to it, don’t panic. and if you can’t access your site at some point, don’t panic.
unless this goes on for longer than a couple hours. then I fully intend to panic.
Kendra~Nope, it was a hometown character, although I did observe a fair amount of Meadvillian sad characters my freshman year of work study when I worked at the Public Library. You’d be amazed at what would wander in off the Diamond.
Pan~DayQuill gives me heartburn and more often that not makes me puke. Zuul doesn’t like DayQuill. Or Robitussin, for that matter.
ESC~Gah, that sucks. Have you upgraded to WP 3.2.87 or whatever it is? I fear to after the pain in the ass that was my last upgrade…
