My newest acquisition in funky saying signs. You can't tell but the wall it is on is painted light blue, so the blue in the pot goes well. Sorry it is a tad blurry, it's over the kitchen doorway, and I was too lazy to get a chair.
I'm feeling kind of obnoxious today, so I decided for my blog post to do a take on my friend Grace's blog.
Her topic was 10 things I need to have on hand in case of snow.
1. Yarns, needles & a pattern - I have more than 5 projects going at any given time do this is never a problem. And if I get snowed in somewhere else - i generally have one or two projects in the car- so no problem.
2. coffee is way more necessary to my survival on a 3-4 hour time frame than tea- but I like to have a "cuppa" in the late afternoon.
3. Bottled water. Again not a problem- there is a gallon in the fridge - 2 more gallons for when we drink that, an almost full case of 1.5 liter Poland Springs that Curt takes bowling with him, and 2 cases of 20ish ounce Poland Spring. so making coffee won't be a problem :P
4. Books - I am slogging ever so slowly with War and Peace- the fact that it is on my laptop which never moves is probably slowing that down. I also have an Irish Country Courtship I'm about halfway through and I just got Casting Spells by Barbara Bretton from good reviews from several of my knitting friends.
5. The Wii remote. I have netflix on my Wii - so I thimk a movie would suit on a snowed in day.
6. Blankets- hmm on a stand by the couch I have..6 Tony Stewart fleece throws, one #14 Snuggie, 2 plain throws. On the back of the couch there is a hand woven Equadoran blanket, and a Noro throw. But i think I'd end up at some point in bed with my quilt for a nap.
7. Unless the snow day is Thursday night into Friday, I'm good. Shopping day is usually Friday so if that were the case I may need a run, but I can survive on staples in my cabinets and freezer for a few days, and in NJ it seriously won't be longer than a day or so.
8. I go with Excedrin - sometimes the low barometric pressure brings on a headache.
9. My cell phone. texts, Ims , Twitters and in a bind it does create it's own mobile wi=fi hotspot so if cable goes out I can still use my laptop to connect to the internet.
10. chocolate. duh.
you is a funny gal!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend who runs a coffee shop would seriously love that sign. I am thinking about making her one that says, "Unattended children will be given an espresso and a puppy before being returned to parents."
ReplyDeleteThis time of year I keep most of that stuff in my car for emergencies -- leaves precious little room for me!
What no Smirnoff? Life is strange out there... ;)
