Oh Karen. How I love you. Because you are so wonderful to include me, and I so rarely join, I am answering your call for the meme: six quirky yet boring and/or unspectacular details about myself…

1) I am allergic to sulpher based drugs. Nothing like taking the cheap generic first discovered antibiotics to figure this out. Hives. Itches. And not being able to eat anything with sulpha in it along with red wine, for years. Now I can. But it took getting pregnant to change my body.

2) I am a hopeless romantic but try to deny it in all aspects of my life.

3) I would love to go back to school. Learning is where its all at. Hellooooo sugar daddy, lottery anything!! To be able to go back and get the degree I really want would be grossly expensive (at least for my budget) so I will probably take a few classes as money allows, perhaps a certificate? who knows.

4) I am seriously addicted to diet pepsi. Not diet coke. I can’t stand the taste of diet cock err coke (I had to keep that in because that is what my fingers initially typed). It has a more peppery taste or something. I can’t quite pinpoint it.

5) When I knit from my stash, I have mild (sometimes not so mild) panic attacks. I can give yarn away. But I have a hard time using it myself. I am working on using it though as not buying will help me pay for some classes (see #3) as I can take the classes and pay monthly (I love schools that are logical like that).

6) I am rude and often crude, but it is a total sham (mostly). If you can’t handle it then you probably wouldn’t be able to be my friend. If you can deal with it then I fully embrace you as a person (figuratively speaking) if you can’t then it means that my lifestyle and life in general may not be something that you will want to be around.

So, kinda useless things. Karen didn’t state that I had to be brilliant in what I wrote about.

In other news, I was up at 4:45am on a freaking Saturday when I didn’t have the kidlet. I had a bad sleep last night too. In my head I came up with two sweater pattern ideas, rearranged the living room and cameron’s bedroom along with figuring out what I would like to do with his room in the next year or so to set it up more “big boy” for school and homework. So I rolled out of bed at 5am, went to Tim’s for a coffee (there was a line up at that hour too!) and then came home and organized the knitting room in the basement. I did go back to bed and slept again for about 1.5 hours. Not enough, but something.

The boy and I also made a quick run to Gina Browns to get some buttons for the Drops sweater. I didn’t make button holes so the buttons I got are wooden and can slip through the holes of the panel pattern. Pictures tomorrow probably.
