The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 3

I started this latch hook project mostly for eye therapy–to help them work together better–and to aid my manual dexterity. I also hoped to have fun with it. I am happy to say that I’m getting better and am having more fun as a I go along. I do some work at home and once a week at a  library with a sewing-and-knitting group.

There’s around 8,600 squares to fill in, so I will take some months. And here’s what it looks life so far:

My Busy Day

My day was so busy and my back hurts so much that today’s recap will show only the three highlights.

Spent the entire morning organizing taxes. Such fun!

I put together two more soda/bottle racks. It then took over two hours to reorganize the whole thing. It presently holds 194 can/bottles with room for maybe 30 more. Here’s what it looks like.

194 bottles/cans and counting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then made chicken Florentine for the natives. The ingredients for the 1st layer are: cream of celery soup, mayonnaise, sharp cheddar cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Meditteranean spice mix, rice vinegar.
2nd Layer: rice, water
3rd Layer: chicken breasts, vegetable oil
4th Layer: creamed spinach, milk, Swiss cheese, onion, Dijon mustard, thyme, coriander, Poulty Magic spice, and salt
5th Layer: bread crumbs, butter, and Parmesan cheese.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Phrase: Learning Plunge

Sometimes a phrase is so useful and necessary that it had been crying in the ether to be coined. Once used, we all wonder, “It’s so obvious now. How do we ever get along without that phrase?”

In today’s blog, we celebrate such an occurrence.

Why do we think that we’ll start learning to do our job right off the bat. What if we don’t? This concept leads us to:

TODAY’S AWESOME PHRASE

I Have Questions

You have been warned.

This sign confuses me.

It reads: “Prop 65 Furniture Warning”

When I first saw it, reflection from the Sun produced glare that obliterated the letters “rni” in the word “Furniture.”

The sign now apparently read: “Prop 65 Future warning.”

You have to admit that is pretty darn exciting. Are Martians from the year 2525 coming back to enslave Californians? And why are doing this? Do they want our avocados?

1)  Is the state of California, or its voters, merely trying to warn us in a big way about the future? But how are we to heed this warning?

2) Are we trying warn the future? Oh ho future, don’t mess with California.

But seen from the proper angle, the correct reading of the sign emerges.

1) But why is our furniture warning us? Are we voting our response to furniture’s warning?

2)  Is California’s furniture unruly? Is this proposition an answer to furniture hooligans? Couldn’t we simply say, “Now see here, furniture, we’ll have none of this behavior around here.”

I better read the voter’s pamphlet. So behave yourselves, I’ll be busy.

What I Did Today

My time on Mars was necessarily brief

1) Woke up. The streak continues. Go me!

2) Showered, Cleanliness is next to godliness.

3) Renewed CD.

4) Briefly contemplated the infinite.

5) Went to monthly massage therapy. She spent much more time on my head and neck than usual because I walked into a window at last week’s craft class.

5b) If you’re wondering does walking into a window hurt, the answer is yes.

6) Ate lunch.

7) Went to the library for this week’s crafts session. Made progress on my latch-hook project.

8) Did not walk into a window at any time.

9) Help with friend’s CD question.

10) Used extra-springy trampoline to bounce my way to Mars.

11) Had to return to Earth right away as I can only hold my breath so long.

12) Fortunately, NASA had left a trampoline on Mars during its last mission there.

13) Bounced my way back to Earth. Boy, did I take a big gulp of air!

14) Ordered some place markers for the Great Latch Hook Project.

15) Made quesadillas for the natives.

Behave yourselves.
