Lots of little bits

I feel like I have nothing to write at the moment, but I’ve got lots of little bits, if that makes sense. I’ll toss in a lie, just to make it interesting. Can you guess which one is the lie?

Zoe’s taken up a huge interest in Nicki, her American Girl Doll. She’s brushing her hair, changing her outfits, and sleeping with her at night. Do you think she’s trying to trick me into buying her something at the American Girl Store when I go to Chicago in a couple weeks?

I thought my credit card was set up for automatic payments. It wasn’t. My balance transfer rate of 3.9% went up to 19.73%. Oops. Guess who begged and pleaded with the credit card company for forgiveness?

I’ve been off the running wagon for over a month. Mostly due to illness. Maybe sometimes due to laziness. However I ran two days in a row, so I’m back on the wagon.

My love of tea is growing and I now have SIX stainless steel tea canisters to store my tea in. SIX! I think I burned the roof of my mouth on my tea this morning. Perhaps I should go back to iced tea.

My mom and I colored my hair this weekend. We weren’t exactly sure what shade it would turn out because we mixed three colors together. She wasn’t willing to give highlights a try, but she was willing to send me home with about five colors to do it myself. I see stripes in my future.

I’m listening to The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. The book is pretty good, and obviously about knitting, which I tried for about a month when I was newly married — 12 years ago. I still have my 12″ long wool scarf with knitting needles and ball of yarn intact. I gave up, but this book is making me think about pulling it out and trying again. It just might be a 13″ long scarf by the end of the year.

I entered a pumpkin carving contest and spent my entire Sunday carving pumpkins. I have a small village of pumpkins in my front yard now, just in time for Trick or Treat on Friday night.
