![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

Hockey Ramblings
Went to another hockey game Friday night. Stars won 4-3 in OT. I was THRILLED! :) I felt like the IceHogs were outskating them, but I think the Stars wanted the win more. There were several fights. The captain was on his way to a possible hat trick when one of the hogs started a fight and it looked like TC (the captain) ended up with a loose tooth! :(
After the star spangled banner was finished, I heard the little boy behind me (circa 4 years old) say, “was that the America song?” to which his father simply said, “yes” :)
Also of note, is the fact that the Ice Hogs have a player named Cullen (mark). I would think if he wasn’t on the Ice HOGS, his jersey would be popular among Twilighters.
The Ice Hogs are giving out cereal bowls at their next games. This seems like the most useful swag ever and I hope the Stars marketing folks are paying attention. :)
Babbling about Knitting
I should have worked on the WoW blanket this weekend, but distractions are so much fun!
I started a baby hat for a friend’s little girl so that I would have a portable project and have a project to use entrelac on and totally got sucked in. My goal friday was to finish the hat by tomorrow, but I have also gotten distracted from that.
The house is cleaner.
A picture has been framed.
The lint trap outside has been cleaned out (this required the use of the gorilla ladder and some creative footwork so I didn’t break the gutters off the house. At one point, when I was feeling particularly smooth, I compared myself to Katherine Z. J. in Entrapment in my head). :)
A good time was had last night that included dinner with a friend and music with two friends. :)
Syd has new food that has less grains.
TH’s birthday plans have been fleshed out.
I have blogged, so NOW, I can get back to my knitting. :)
One last thing
A friend (L) and I are racing to finish our monster projects. She is halfway through The Carp sweater and I am 46.4% through the WoW blanket! Who will win!?!?! Probably her……as you can see, I distract easily! :)
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
