Because this should be a Random Monday post. Ah well. I’m 40 now, you know.
• Last weekend at Sam’s, we bought eggs.
This apparently threw a thought to my son, who wanted to know how a regular chicken egg turned into a chicken.
Which I explained in the least graphic, yet most accurate way possible.
Right in the middle of the store.
Obviously, this led to questions about how other kinds of babies are made.
Which I answered.
Right in the middle of the store.
Hold me, people.
• I have a knitting friend who has taught herself to crochet and makes the cutest little toys for her kids. This inspired me to drag out my ancient Learn to Crochet in One Day! booklet and try my hand at it. I did okay with the single crochet and the double crochet and some of those other stitches that really just look like weird lumps. I wanted to do the Magic Loop way of making a ring, and found some instructions. I followed the first and second steps all right, but step 3 said, “continue as usual.”
I was all “what usual? I don’t know how to do this, that’s why I need DIRECTIONS, you stupid piece of paper!”
• I had some other stories about a trip to Ikea and cleaning out the garage, but after typing them out, I realized they were even more boring than the crochet story. Sorry. It’s very mundane over here lately. Hopefully things will liven up soon, because we are in the middle of trying to make a Giant! Life! Change!
Wha..?!?!? A cliffhanger? On a blog? That’s right, peeps. One day - hopefully soon - I will be able to tell you about the craziest thing we’ve ever decided to do.
Can you stand the suspense?

I love knitting and crocheting, but sometimes, I go so long between projects that I completely forget the stitches. This is where YouTube comes in. They have everything!
And when they say “continue as usual” it means that you need to just repeat the last row. Tedious.

Are you selling all of your posessions to become worm farmers? Is your husband quitting his 75,000 a year job and investing your life savings in a doggie security company? Uhmmm….are you moving to Idaho to live off the grid in a yurt?
P.S. All of the above are real life crazy things we’ve had friends announce that they are doing. Even the dog security camera company. He attached cameras to dogs and trained them to patrol people’s property. Seriously.

People! I am not pregnant! Did you not see the part where I am FORTY?!?
That and a little snip-snip action has ended the childbearing era.
