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. 

Sunday Says

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.

Accommodations

 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.

Storms and Yuck

Last night, it seemed I was starting to feel better, but   Today I feel flu-ish.  Sleepy and heavy and achy.   Gimme back my plain ol' cold, please. Which sounds more fun: Skydiving OR Submarining^? We are under a high wind advisory for the next couple of days, off the hurricane.  It's been breezy today, and a few small limbs have already come off trees.  I think it's rain tomorrow and thunderstorms Sunday.  It's something to look out at these clouds and know they've been churned up by a storm  hundreds of miles away. ^Well, those are two of my phobias: heights and enclosed spaces.  I'll go with skydiving, though.  Never, ever inside a tube submerged in something I'm unable to swim through.

Did You Watch GoT?

Like my Twinnie, I've been parked on the couch and in my bed, alternately.  What is it with colds that knocks us so low? Would you rather have the power to make unicorns real OR the power to make dragons real? Dragons.  Don't wish to deal with squealing girls.  And if a dragon gets out of hand, I can call Jaime Lannister or Bronn the Sellsword to take care of it.

Knee-Slapper

It's an MST3K joke, but it sprang right to mind immediately when I saw this photo: "And I told her that in school, I was an Ursa Major!" Today's query is Would you rather have fifty turtles living in your house OR One hundred canaries living in your house?● ●Turtles.  If it were 50 canaries, too, I'd need to have a think, but as is,

You can change one aspect of your physical appearance  OR You can dramatically increase your intellect* *Going shallow here: my appearance.
