I learned an unfortunate lesson yesterday:

1. If you throw a potholder at Shelli, she will believe it to be a big scary monster

2. If you pick Shelli up and take her over to the potholder, she will escape…by any means necessary.

Was I pissed? Definitely. Was it my own fault? Absolutely. Joey told me that she spent most of the day thinking that every inanimate object was a big scary monster. I gave the cat PTSD.

Tonight, I started teaching my friend Katie to knit…I know, it’s the blind leading the blind. But at least I can show her to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. Then, once I learn other stuff, I can teach her that too:). While she was practicing her knit stitch, I knit along and started this cute little swatch on a whim…

I think I’m going to keep going with it and seeing what kind of scarf it may become.

And, in keeping with the “more toward whole foods” movement, I had a very tasty dinner full of fresh produce:

I used:

• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 roma tomato, diced
• a few handfulls of fresh baby spinach
• a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
• a bowl of (cooked) whole wheat penne

I sauteed the onion, tomato, and spinach in a pan with olive oil and some garlic powder. I also put a little leftover marinara sauce on the pasta to use it up, but I probably won’t do that next time. The tomatoes were so fresh and wonderful!

And while I’m thinking about it, I found this blog today. It’s a GREAT read. This is what I aspire to have….a yard full of vegetables and chicken poop.
