Randomly on a Monday

Do you ever have one of those days were you want to blog, but you don't really have anything new (or much brainpower) to blog about something? Well, today is just one of those days. Even worse, today doesn't seem to want to be a list day either. So today's special "randomly" posts will be rather...well...random.

Don't eat bad avacados. You can tell that they are bad when you cut into them and the fruit is brown and yucky looking. Even if you think you can salvage the fruit inside, it is probably better not to do it anyway. On the opposite side, avocado milkshakes are perfectly yummy and delicious and will fill you up for hours!

If you are dehydrated, water will make it worse. Drink some Gatorade instead because it has electrolytes that will help you feel better faster. Orange Gatorade is my favorite flavor.

If you are reading a history book on knitting, then prepared to be tempted to knit something practical for yourself like the way your knitting foremothers did. Just don't be surprised if you suddenly want to knit laceweight yarn on super tiny needles to make an elegant business jacket that will probably take a half a year to make. Then get distracted by thoughts of argyle socks because that seems less crazy.

When you set yourself a deadline, make sure it is a reasonable one that can be managed. Avoid those ideas that you have that you are pretty sure you can do and then realize that deadline is only three days away.

I might have found a deep love for Evernote....now if only I can figure out how to use it effectively for knitting and spinning without it having getting into fights with Ravelry.

 Finally, I have set myself a book challenge for the rest of the year because I thought I wasn't reading enough books. I have committed to finishing five books by the end of the year and I have already finished one book. Since I normally get stuck reading the same thing over and over and over, I decided that it would be smart to ask you lovely readers with your wide and varied interests: what are your recommended reading books? Please comment below so I can find my next book!

Randomly on a Wednesday

1. The knitting on my socks is going slow. I am just past the set up for the gusset decreases on one sock and just getting ready to knit down the heel flap on the other.

2. Saw Maleficent yesterday. It wasn't the greatest movie on the planet, but I would pick it up on DVD. It took an interesting take on the tale and it was fun. The only downside was that I figured out the climax of the movie right before it hit. I'm getting too smart for movies.

3. My room is getting along. It is painted now. We just need to put up the trim.

4. I've been living out of my car and at my fiance's house for about three weeks now.

5. I'll be glad when my room is done.

6. Slowly becoming obsessed with needlepoint lace and embroidery. The newest issue of Piecework isn't helping that recently. Call me Queen Victoria with my lace problem.

7. I really need to work on the feather and fan shawl.

8. Salted caramel hot chocolate with a dab of Hershey's cocoa powder added in is delicious.
