Okay, it's Tuesday night. We're having a luncheon on Thursday at work to exchange gifts. I am making Mizzou-striped socks for one of my co-workers. I have one sock finished. BUT...and here's the problem...I have 68 more rows to go on the other sock!!!! Oh, no, Mr. Bill!!! And, I didn't leave the office until 9 p.m. tonight, so I haven't yet done any work on the sock tonight. Do you think I could stay home from work tomorrow to finish the sock???
And you're of no use to me right now - since you can't knit socks!!!

** Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Good evening! I'm getting ready to watch "Dexter," one of my favorite shows of the season. Tonight is the season finale!!
I made cookies tonight! I made some family secret cookies called Treasure Island Cookies. Boy, these are good! I made them for a cookie exchange, and despite the fact that they turned out really good, there are enough left for the exchange. Usually, I enlist the help of my sisters to make cookies because I only turn the oven on once or twice a year. Eagle Eye (my sister) called to make sure that there weren't any emergencies! To everyone's surprise, I'm sure, the cookies turned out decent and were not a disaster. Uh, oh, I may be letting the secret out that I actually can cook. This is going to ruin my master plan!!
I've had the most beautiful rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in my head all day. I was searching You Tube last night for Eva Cassidy's version, which is incredibly powerful. I came across another sweeter, lighter version. This version is sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr-alr7P_qk
If you're interested in listening to Eva Cassidy's version, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUwTdqPkluY
And to Kim and Liney: I love the idea of the movie! Someday!
Enjoy!!!

** Christmas shopping??? When does one have time?
Please keep the comments coming! It's so flattering!! hee hee!

How's the Christmas tree coming? Don't get too distracted by eating all of the chocolate chip cookies! I am going to have to make it a habit of stopping by each night to get some freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookies. YUM YUM!
How's your shopping going? I started off doing great back in November, but I'm now stuck on about four more presents, and it's getting quite late to order anything off the internet, which means I'm going to have to brave the mall. UGH. And, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not going to be able to finish all of the knitting projects that I started. I'm so sad about that. I will have to check the family webpage to see if others have obeyed your rules. I'm going to post that email you sent to the family!

** Our first real comment!!
T -
We have our first real comment! Technically, we have two comments on our blog, but one of them is yours, so it doesn't count!!
So, to our first commenters, Kim and De, thanks for being our first fans!!! Feel free to forward the link to all your friends! And yes, I'll teach you how to stitch cards. It really is pretty easy and you can get really creative. Go to that website I mentioned in my first post and you can see a lot of different patterns. I downloaded several of them. So, I'll be taking off work the week between Christmas and New Year's and we can get together then and I can teach you how to do it! Or, if you're dying to learn before Christmas, we can get together one evening or weekend before then, but there's not much time left!!

Marny,
I keep watching the screen and nothings happening.
It's not like the movies.

** I thought we would be famous by now
Marny,
What's the deal!
You said everyone will read our blogs and we would get a book deal and go around the country.
What are we going to write about?
Today I went to work.
Tonight I made cookies and ate them all!
I feel sick.
The end.

** Where is everyone?
What???? No comments yet??? Hasn't this blog yet been discovered?????? I'm confused.....

** My first entry!
Hey T: I just created our blog!!! I've named it "T and Marny." Somehow, I need to figure out how to add a subtitle, which will be, "The All True Travels and Adventure of a Neurotic Fiber Artist and her Sister." Or something like that. Can't decide how to describe myself. Am I, "and her obsessive-compulsive sister?" Or, am I, "and her AR sister?" Or, "and her perfectionist sister?" Or, something else???? HELP!!! How would you describe me???
So, I tried to call you tonight, but you were busy washing dishes, or at least, that's what KD said. I needed you to come over tonight to help me with my Christmas cards. I decided to stitch all of my cards this year. Yes, I made that decision a few weeks ago, but I just started on the cards last night. I got the pattern from http://www.stitchingcards.com/. COOOOOOL patterns!! Anyways, I made one card last night. ONE CARD!!!! It took me 45 minutes! So, I need your help. I only have like 65 more cards to make. WE NEED TO START NOW!!! HURRY!!! COME OVER PLEASE!!!! DROP EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've added a picture of the first card. It does look nice. I still need to actually make it into a card...... I think Momma will like this! She's probably the only one who will get one. Would it be bad to just color copy it and send it to everyone else????
