Who knows where yesterday's GIF came from?  Not the site where I got it, but its original source. . . Life has been turmoil this week.  Plumbing problems that had me calling a septic service, only to be told it needed to be tended to by a plumber.  My bank account/debit card was hacked again --- 3 times in a month.  Trip to the bank to try to get things under control, and hopefully they are.  All that's left is for me to have all the adrenaline and worry and stress to dump out, and to catch up on sleep. Waiting for the service guys, then waiting to turn water on and off and on while they were here, I did a lot of a cross-stitch piece. Only "You" and the rest of the border to go. I got gas yesterday, and the amount on the pump from the person before me was $148.39.  OUCH.  I realize it was probably a big van or truck, but still --- OUCH. The only food you are allowed to eat will be picked by a 3-year-old OR The only films and TV you are allowed to see w...

You will be given $1 million if you post a selfie every time you eat a meal for ten years OR You will be given $1 million if you never check social media in the next ten years.  I don't do social media now.  Where's my money?

Pizza and cake OR tacos and pie? Should we swap places with the desserts?  Does that make things better/easier?  What kind of cake?  What kind of pie?  What kind of pizza?  There are so many POSSIBILITIES!

Imagine you can see into the future, but cannot tell a soul what happens OR Imagine you can read minds, but always have to reveal what you know. 

I went 3D printer for my yearly Nativity: I don't mean I made it;  it was bought.  I don't entirely understand 3D printing.  The curve and flow of Mary's hair and headscarf are pretty, don't you think?  You generally don't see the Holy Child's feet, but there they are.  Little toes and all. Speaking of feet, both of mine can glow now.   This yarn split like the dickens, so I'm glad this project is done.  This little pattern I go back to over and over; I've probably knit more booties than socks. I suppose my current knitting is cold-weather-oriented: a scarf, a cowl and a hat.  Surprisingly, I'm in a cardigan mood all of a sudden.  I need to finish at least a couple, if not all, of these first. Would you rather backpack around the world for 6 months, with not much money OR stay at a resort for 2 weeks with all expenses paid.* *Is it just me, or are some of these choices really  easy?  Resort, of course.

 You live in a little apartment in the center of town OR a little cabin in a secluded forest... I'll go with a cabin.  I do like a nice apartment, but a cozy little place with a fire?  No worries about neighbors?  Win. It's rained here all day.  Never particularly hard, but quite steady.  There were 6 or 8 minutes of sun at Noon, then right back to the rain.  There are spotty power outages and trees down, but not right here.  There weren't even that many branches down in the yard.
