4 Things

Kristina knows how I like quizzes, and I guess, if you free-associate really hard and take your answers and twist them like pretzels, then crush them and mix them into a cake batter you could make a même into a quiz. sigh But never let it be said that Wannietta Prescod is a party pooper!!

Four Things I'm Looking Forward To

Being done the knitting competition at the Knit Out.
Being alone again with Kerwyn.
Authoring a book. Yeah, probably about knitting.
Seeing my children succeed.

Four People to Tag

I'm going to slack off on this one and take the losers easy way out - if you wanna do it, knock yourself out. If not, we'll still be friends tomorrow.

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

YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born) = Louise Elmira

YOUR STAR WASH NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first) = Prewa

SUPERHERO NAME: (2nd favorite color, favorite drink, put "The" first) = The Green Mike's

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?)

WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother's & father's middle names) = Jean Hilda Clifford

And, let me add a popular one that I have come across:

PORN STAR NAME (name of first pet and name of first street you lived on): Rusty Grange (It could be sexy?)

ETA: Some people may use this kind of information for nefarious purposes - feel free to alter your answers if they could be clues to your passwords or financial data. But it's still funny!!!

Working Much, Knitting Some

Days are blurring into each other. Route verification, garter stitch scarves, spelling bee lists, cable charts, laundry sorting, gauge swatches ... they overlap and run concurrently. I probably have cables in the bus runs (like the maps could be any more confusing!!) and word lists in my tension notes.
Mix in a day trip to London to meet Kim and buy her Majacraft Saxony and stopping in Kitchener at my cousins to get my (an Amanda's) hair did on the way back.
And trying to get everything that I could possibly need (and a few things that I probably won't, but you can't be too careful) for my 4 - YES!!! FOUR - days away from home while I'm at the CSNF.
Making sure that Amanda has some supervision for Friday (normally I'm all for PA days, but this one is NOT helping me).

All of this on top of everything that I always have to do. And while I will totally enjoy every minute of my time at the CSNF, that too will come to an end with a bang. Kerwyn is jetting off to Vegas for a week right after I get back.

Ah well, I hate being bored so even though this is a bit of overkill, I'll take it.

Oh, Kristina tagged me so I'll do it quick.

I know that these five people read my blog and will likely take the tag & run with it, so Kenny, Julie (don't edit out the good bits!), Sandra, Roxie & Bonne are tagged.
