Ladies

Do you wash your bras every time you wear them? Or do you wear them once or twice first? And how many bras do you own? My daughter just came to me and informed me she needs new bras.

First, she's 10, so she can get away with an undershirt, of which I know she has plenty. Second, she just got two bras for Christmas. Third, she's a couch potato when she's at home right now (though during the summer she's more active.)

I have 2 bras that are really comfy, and two others that I will wear if need be. In the summer I tend to wash them after every wearing, purely because it's summer, I work around machines that put out a lot of heat and I sweat. Yuck. But when it's cooler and I'm not as sweaty, I don't wash my bras every time I wear them. And I have heard so many different things about bra care. Some places say not to wash them every time you wear them (but never wear the same bra twice in a row, let it "relax" between wearings, lol) other places say wash every time. And they all say hand washing is best.

I say who the hell has time to hand wash undergarments every bloody day?? My two good bras go in the wash and hang dry. The other two go in the washer and dryer.

So how many bras do you have, and how do you care for them?

Socks!

I put aside the mitten today, purely because the sock is much more portable. But the sock has changed. I abandoned the Monkey Sock and I'm now knitting a simple p1, k3 rib. When I get done with the leg I'll do the Harlot's heel and foot. The simple rib gives me a little more interest but it's easy enough it doesn't take all of my concentration ;) And honestly, if I stick with Monkey right now I will never finish another pair of socks, lol.

I'll have to get back to the mittens, but I'm just not up to dragging 5 balls of yarn around with me.

The kiddo took part in the local spelling bee today. Hence the need for something to knit, while waiting for her to do the written test. I started my own little knitting corner in the school library! One lady was knitting a teddy bear, another a scarf. While I was working on my sock two guys behind me were chatting. After a while one guys says to me, "After seeing you, I now have more appreciation for my socks." Lol. And as we filed out of the library to go find our kids and wait for them to check their written tests, a lady asks what I was knitting. I told her and she smiled and said, "That's so cool!" So I was cool for a little bit today, hahahaha.

The kiddo didn't make it to the oral round, but I'm pretty darned proud of her anyway!

Um....

Yay, it's Wednesday! Only two more days to go 'til the weekend! Even if I have to get up super early Friday to take the kiddo to school so she can go on her class ski trip. I don't actually have to be to work 'til noon, so I think I will go home and go back to bed.

So. The mittens. Umm. Still pretty much part of one cuff, although I am almost to the end of the cuff. I just haven't been knitting much. Maybe I will knit on the mittens tonight, the cold just came back with a vengeance today and it was snowing again. I need some pretty mittens to keep my hands warm, lol.

I haven't let myself become distracted by a Baby Jiffy Knit Sweater yet though. Mostly because I am distracted by everything else. I have the attention span of a gnat these days...

Same old stuff,

different year!

My goal this year is to actually finish my mittens. Preferably while I can still wear them.

But I keep getting distracted. The last several nights I've played WoW with the hubby, and now I am contemplating trying the Jiffy Knit Sweater again, and just adding some stitches and length so it will fit the not so Baby Tess :) Her daddy is a weasel and her momma is going through a rough time right now (thanks to said weasel) so she needs something new and pretty and hand knitted :)

Book-wise I am in a drought. There just isn't a lot that is on my wishlist right now. Apparently all of my favorite authors publish at the same time of the year! I do have a few books waiting at the library, a second series by a regular author that I've never read (still working my way through his first series!) and I am re-reading all of the In Death books by JD Robb (Nora Roberts).
