Birthday time

Would like to send out a special thanks to 3,300 of my closest friends (at least in proximity), for Celebrating my birthday with me on the World's Largest Pub Crawl this past weekend. I am a little skeptical however, they told us we were battling the Aussie's for the title, but I haven't been able to find actual documentation of this yet. Oh well, what else is there to do in the midst of a February Freeze than bounce from bar to bar with friends everywhere?

All in all it was a great time - with great friends!
Now, with World's Largest Pub Crawl ticked off my list - what's next?

In knitting news:

Heart Socks - finished. Yeah! Good thing, I'd say - Valentine's Day tomorrow. Happy Heart day to everyone - take care of your hearts.

Thrummed mitts - 1/2 a mitt to go. They are lovely.

Trying to finish what's in UFO basket before starting anything new... old hat from 1953, here .... I ..... come.... Seriously, I think there's a point where you should get rid of the stuff that's weighing you down. Perhaps a better idea is to go through UFOs and cleanse. Yes, that's what I'll do - cleanse!

OU - almost forgot! A most wonderful knitted gift from a most generous friend:

Klaralund in Noro Silk Garden, by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton (Book Number Two). For me - Knit by "S" Thank you, oh so much! It's so great to wear a beautiful hand knit sweater - that's why we knit right? But to have someone give you one THEY knit is even more wonderful. Happy Birthday indeed!

In a weird twist of fate - it's the same one my MIL has (see previous post). Different colors - phew! Would hate to be at the same party...

Last but not least ~ Today a Special Friend is celebrating her Jesus birthday. To let her know how much I really do care about her, even though we don't get to see each other every day, I would like to apply for the BFF position she currently has available due to her old BFF getting a hip replacement... ou, not Old, old friend. Her friend from the good ol' days - you know, the friend forever, friend. Sorry B, this isn't sounding good but you know what I mean right?

This has taken me so long because it takes time to come up with a kick-but list that you can't refuse - Ready?

1. I too am an Aquarian and understand your quirky ways, and will never forget your birthday (wait - is that 2?).

2. Having just celebrated my Jesus birthday, I know what you're going through - hey, I made the up term!

3. If you ever have the desire to have a baby or a dog - I have both you can have overnight, or until the urge passes.

4. I have experience with World's Largest Pub Crawls.

5. Due to number 4 - I will be in Guinness Book of World Records. Hey, that's almost famous right?

6. If you ever need a get-a-way vehicle, I have a motorbike (small alleys), jeep (mountains, dirt, ice - whatever), and can assist you in jumping out of an airplane ~ common! How many of your current BFFs can do that?

7. I'm a quick learner - and you're a good teacher. We're a good team.

8. I have tattoos, and can look mean on command (Ms. Oromocto).

9. I too am obsessed with knitting, and will stay up till wee hours on the phone with you discussing patterns, needles, fibres, books, etc.

10. I know your pain (office - aka hell).

11. I met Bentley, and I think he really liked me.

12. I can and will color your hair anytime you can't find a professional.

13. I have been practicing my Super Hero pose and I think if we make an appointment at Wall mart we can get our Super Hero pose pictures done together for under $20.

There - 13 reasons because, your birthday is on the 13th!

Please contact me at your convenience to further discuss my qualifications.
