Knit Addictions

9 Years and 364 Days

Rock n Roll Love Does Last
Can you believe it? Bam and I have been married for 9 years and 364 days! Tomorrow is our tenth anniversary! (happy tin! ha ha!) It's seems so fast and yet we have so many memories together. Wow.
He might kill me for using this photo....but I have to.....

that was taken while he was painting the other day........and the mere look of him still makes me ...ya know.....all gasping for air and feeling all stupid like a teenager. (sorry Bam but I had to rave about you.)

FREE PHONE
If you didnt' already know this....(how could you not cuz you're a hip, cyber knitting person right?)...you can make free calls with SKYPE anywhere in the US and Canada this year. So download and use it to talk for hours with your friends and family for free. I just love FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

RNRTV
We went out and filmed this band last night....The Ettes...very fun!

NORMALITY
well, I'm off for my day...........rock on. Keep the dial turned UP, keep the knitting needles clackin' and always keep believing.

Green

Green Stuff
Since going raw, we've become very aware of how green and un-green our lives can be. From fuel consumption to heating, cooling, electricity, water, packaging, buying food locally etc etc etc.
Came across these two killer sites I thought my fellow knitters would like!
One is similar to Daily Candy but is like 'green candy'. You'll get emails to your inbox on weekdays with suggestions for making the world greener!
www.idealbite.com

The other is a site that I found where you can take a test to find out how 'big' your footprint is. Mine is 8 which means I still have a lot of room for improvement.
www.myfootprint.org

Couple that along with the organic cottons and hemp yarns available and we can change the world one stitch at a time!!!!!

One Way or Another

The Blog Made Me Do It
Since I posted yesterday....and we did the look of my blog,...I felt this incredible urge to get back on it with my sweater for Bam and got half the front done! Whew. (already have the back done.) Who knew blogging could be so motivational?

Quick Note
Just wanna add that the Blondie/New Cars concert was super fun! Debbie Harry didn't move around much but hey, waddya want from her right? Clem Burke is still one of the best drummers on the planet and they sounded great. Ms Harry still exuded star power and it was just cool and somehow strangely bizarre to see them play live. Followed up by the New Cars......made me realize what a big fan I was. Todd Rundgren is a superb musician and the surprise treat was when they launched into a Utopia song where him and Elliot Easton did the pedal steel solo as a 'two guitar' solo. Breath taking. Overall........the whole night was like a dream. Very fun!

New Look, New Day!

Life
Wow! It's been a month. Lame! Okay.....Let's see.....I've been "Stumbling" a whole helluva lot. You have to have Firefox as your web browser and then prepare to waste a LOT of time. This extension is the best for discovering GREAT sites on the net. My new fave thing to do when I'm bored and tired of everything!

Hmm......still raw. Almost always kick off the day with a 'green smoothie'. Yum! Feeling good from it all but am not being anal about it. I mean, if we get a craving for chicken or something, we're gonna have it. Life is too short!

Winner!
OMG! The weirdest thing.........a week ago, we were driving along and the radio was on. They were babbling about Blondie and the New Cars and caller number blah blah....so I called....and I WON TICKETS! Yep. We went and saw Blondie and the New Cars at the Universal Amphitheater. (now gibson). Anyway.......it was fun and free is always a good price in my book!

In the family dept....
My mom's piano is on a truck out here to us. I am excited and somehow nervous as well. I know I will cry when it gets here ....both with joy of having such a beautiful Sohmer upright piano and also ....well, because it will bring up all those memories of my mom playing it and me and her playing duets on it and laughing and laughing. Wow. It's gonna be weird.

In the band dept....
Nothing much. Our bassist is out of town all the time. So Bam and I are playing around with other ideas musically. Who knows!

In the yarn dept...
Still knitting when I can. Haven't finished anything I've started in the last few months! I'm so scattered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must finish. Must finish.

Super fun.........
Wanna know who you were? This is fun!

RNR TV dept...
Things are heating up. We may have some cool changes coming up. In the meantime, we're shooting up to San Fran for the Vloggercon in early June. Bam and I are even scheduled to help out in a seminar as 'speakers'! What a kick!

Alright. New Look new day........over and out.
