Random Randomness

1.  To those of you asking the question, “How much longer can Laiane put off finishing her taxes?” Not much longer.  In fact, about a week.  Maybe.  The thing that bogs me down every year is getting all the charitable deductions tallied up and documented.  Maybe I would be more motivated if we were getting money back, but that isn’t the case.  I have an issue with giving the government interest-free loans.

2.  I like to think that I could find common ground, or at least a conversational topic, with just about anyone, even with The Ultimate Source of Evil in the Universe.  You may refer to him as Dick Cheney.  What could we discuss?  How to shoot someone in the face and make it look like an accident. Then I thought about Sarah Palin, and I drew a complete blank.  Then I thought about what my Gramma Fran would have to say about Mrs. Palin, and I got completely derailed.

3.  I announced on Facebook, but didn’t announce here on Teh Blog, that I have finally paid off all my credit card debt.  It took about 2 years, all told.  Time to start that Emergency Fund that  you’re supposed to have, according to all the financial advisor types.  The problem is, my Emergency Fund is titled Laiane’s Emergency Fund To Get Her Butt to Europe When She Can No Longer Cope with the Lack of Substance in the United States.

4.  Look!  Another sock!

Progress 2 - Easter

Eventually I’ll feel inclined to write longer paragraphs, or maybe I’ll just go back to posting LOLCats.

    KnitPicks Felici, Cochineal. Not long after posting, I discovered undyed white spots in the skein and saw on Ravelry reviews that that is a common problem with this yarn. You get what you pay for. This was frogged and I’m back on the good sock yarn (Wollmeise).

    Conga rats on the paying off of the debt!

    We finally paid off the car this year. Now we need to pay off the credit card.

    I didn’t like the Felici much with the pair of socks I knit with it- but it probably didn’t help that it was clown vomit colors they don’t make any more. Have I mentioned I work for Holiday Yarns to you? Have you tried that stuff yet? I don’t want to cram the advertisment down your throat, and I apologize if I come off that way.

    I loved Wollmeise, but I’m allergic to the wool wash they use, and I can’t unstink it. Malabrigo sock is just as lovely, and I got several skeins for my birthday this year.
