Back in October I met up with Kim of KnitTherapy to buy her Majacraft Saxonie and she interviewed me for her podcast. Keep in mind that Kim didn't edit it and in listening to it now it's truly me - forgetfulness, rambling and mispeaks! So if you're inclined, give it a listen - Episode 15!!

Dear Patrick,
I've been neglectful. 
I won't start making excuses - other women are busy and they find time for the special man in their lives. You've been so very patient and so today is going to be all about you.
I'm making coffee right now which I will drink while I take a nice soak in the hot tub. 
I'll be thinking only of you. Then I'll slip into something nice & comfortable and we'll curl up together on the chesterfield and spend some quality time together. Oh God - that sounded cheesy & you deserve better! Not just quality time Patrick - quantity.
Today I devote myself to you - no counting calories or minutes. We'll mark time by stitches and rows and repeats. We'll share laughs with The View, tears with the Newmans on Y&R and - oh Patrick!!! it's Wednesday!!! the best TV night of the week!! Today is going to be perfect!
Get your graph ready Patrick - you're going to need it! We'll make some beautiful sweater
together today.

Watching TAR with Wannietta - 12.2
I've carbed up and I'm ready to run!!
If you're not the driver
you're the navigator 
- what's to discuss?
No doubt Kynt - Amsterdam
is your kinda city!
Old people moving more slowly than you. Hunh. Go figure. It's only the 2nd leg Nick - I'm sure you'll start giving Grandpa some motivational words soon.
I won't argue with you - you're an idiot. Maybe you have to push the indicator away from you to make the brights stay on.
As long as you know where you're going Ronald.
I guess the Sibs haven't seen TAR before - airports are one of the great equalizers.
Yeah Ron, I'm sure that harassing Chris will make the internet run faster.
No Kate, it's not just you, it looked like Ron was hard on her to everyone!
Well it is a RACE - I'm not sure that slow
but
smart will always cut it.
OMG - will it come down to the fastest typer?!? YES it did.
As long as TAR uses airplanes there is always hope. Delays, bumps, standby and pure dumb luck will always play a part.
Well then, why don't you try being in salesman-mode with your daughter?
Interpretation isn't your problem Ronald - you're a meddler and you don't know how to self-edit. What do you care if Nick is rude and it makes them late? I'm sure that you feel some righteous shame for Donald, but that man looks like he can hold his own with his grandson.
Well, those weren't the first two activities that come to mind when I think of Amsterdam, but then again this is a family show.
We'd go with the hoisting - Kerwyn would have that shit up the ropes in no time!
Macrame for Movers - it could be a class.
OK - I mean just looking at you I can tell that your arms are your biggest muscle.
I'm not sure how
work in Amsterdam, but here they run more than once per day.
It doesn't look like rocket science TK.
It really is quicker to ride the bike than to walk it Donald.
Rachel doesn't know what she's doing - compared to who!?!
You rock Rachel!!
Can you imagine Canadian farmers vaulting ditches?
WTG Jason!
Of course it's easy - that's why TAR picked it for a Roadblock.
Didn't take much to confuse you Ronald.
"Oceans of bicycles." There are only 2 tasks to choose from - you can't be such a bloody defeatist about them both!
May be eliminated??? What happened to no non-elimination legs?
Oh, that's lovely Jen. Maybe you could at least spit on the ditch side of the road.
Again with Nate comparing Jen to other girls. That man is a slow learner.
I can't believe that Nate and Jen are #2.
Yeah ... you told her Ronald. We get it.
I do recall Ronald telling Kristina that she could pick the task. He's the adult - ADD or not he needs to not be such an
!!
Well Nick, next time speak up faster if you want to do the task.
Decompress? What WE did wrong? Christina vascillated? She disappointed you!!! Dude - just wait 'til you see this replayed on TV; you will kick yourself (if we're lucky).
I think that Christina is showing a remarkable amount of maturity & restraint.
Poor Pat & Kate! The buses are being rough on a few teams this leg.
Again with the "may" be eliminated!
That was a little more Donald than I needed to see!
Team #4 - WTG Kynt & Vixsin.
I think that Ronald is going to be the resident expert on everything this Race. C'mon. Of course - I'm sure that watching the 'ongoing demonstrations' is the answer to everything! Do you understand. That's the principle ... Breathe. The principle of the thing ... I could have done it better. Don't contaminate the thing. You need to lose weight.
Karma's a bitch man.
I don't think that I can keep listening to him!!!
Christina is so nice - doing this with her dad obviously means so much to her that she is willing to do & take a lot to make it work.
You nailed it Ronald - you are the Archie Bunker of TAR. I hope that next week you do the roadblock!
Sorry Kate and Pat - smart
alone just didn't cut it this week. You really gave it a good go - we'll miss you!

Winter Wonderland
Well, we got the snow that they called for. 
It started later than they predicted so we are supposed to be getting more throughout today.
Mydutiful servant devoted daughter Amanda was out in her new winter jacket & boots cleaning off the van.
She really does like this job so who am I to dissuade her?
The roads were icy and I passed cars in ditches and cars spun out & flipped over. The first snowfall always seems to take drivers by surprise.

A Wannietta by Any Other Name ...
Kristina had this on her blog and it was just way to cool (and funny) not to do! Dare ya!!
YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet & current car) = Rusty Sienna
YOUR GANGSTA NAME: (fav. ice cream flavor, favorite cookie) = Vanilla Peek Frean
YOUR "FLY GIRL" NAME: (first initial of first name, first three letters of last name) = WPre
YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal) = Blue Shitzu

STRIPPER NAME: (the name of your favorite perfume/cologne, favorite candy) = Lovely M&M's (is that what the kids are calling them these days?)
