In A Sweater Poorly Knit And An Unsuspecting Smile

Friday Faff: Champers Edition

Last night I thought I opened a bottle of fancy sparkly pear juice leftover from Thanksgiving but I actually opened a bottle of champagne. I was home alone and champagne goes flat quickly once it's opened so of course I had to drink it by myself. I will admit that I could not finish the entire bottle but I made a commendable effort. My head is very hurty this morning is what I'm saying. In my defense, the sparkly pear juice is in a similar bottle and is trying to be something it's not with the foil and the full wire & cork mechanism found on champagne bottles.

Robin has been in London for a week now and I miss her like crazy. I've constructed a complex kidnapping plot for when we visit her next year. Don't tell on me.

I need to learn how to knit. Soonish.

Instagram is my new favourite iPhone app. It's kind of like twitter for photos. You follow feeds but instead of 140 characters, you post a photo. It's fun and it's free and if you're already using it you should let me know so I can follow you. I'm hillarywith2Ls if anyone wants to follow me. Though I'm warning you, I mostly post photos of the monsterpups.

I warned you.
Have a good weekend, peeps!

  2. My best friend, who just returned this week from 3 months in South America told me last night that she's going to London in January. For at least 6 months. I am the most sad. Whichever plane you're taking to go visit Robyn on, I'm grabbin' a seat on it too.

  3. Is instagram like Posterous? I use that now to post my photos to Twitter, but you can follow people and they, you.

    I love your pups. :)

    That lady has got some great how-to-knit tutorials. I finally have figured out the purl stitch thanks to her!

    I love your monster pups!

  5. Um, yes please to the learning how to knit! Join the club and come see what all the fuss is about.

    PS: You can definitely drink and knit at the same time, just in case you were wondering.

  6. DW is on the best path ever. Drinking while manipulating synthetic material between two sticks yields mesmerizing patterns...and also? No one will pilfer you sweaters. Except for maybe a homeless dude who also asks for a can of corn. Just sayin...

  7. But such cute monsterpups! I mean, just look at that face! CUTIE!!

    I love instagram. My new favorite app. I hope it doesn't get ruined by ads and subscriptions and all that lousy stuff though.

    Don't blame you regarding the bubbly. Would have done the same thing myself. It's sinful to let champagne go to waste. I swears it.
