Is it bad that when I see this ad:
I immediately think “Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!”?
I have to say that not all things about getting older are
bad. Used to be, if my feet were cold I would have to run a warm bath, turn my
electric blanket on high, or invade Dr. M’s side of the bed before I could fall
asleep. My frigid feet would just never warm up all on their own. Last night I
stayed up late reading (& ignoring that terrible Cleveland/Tampa Bay game)
& my feet were freezing when I
went to bed. And after I lay there for a few minutes they started warming up all on their own! It’s a menopausal miracle!
I'm listening to a David Baldacci book (see my sidebar) & I just learned something new. I had no idea that Heckler & Koch was pronounced Coke,
not Kotch. Interesting!
The Braves' first post season game is tonight, and you know how I love my Braves, but... Their regular season ended on a kind of meh note & well I don't want to be a naysayer, but I'm saying nay. Sigh. (Do you think this strategy of getting the Braves to win will work? If I act like I know it won't happen?)
I finished it a couple of weeks ago, but totally forgot to share a picture of the shawl I made myself out of yarn scraps. Makes me smile - especially because a lot of the scraps were from my friend Joanne who passed away earlier this year.

Cold feet? What is that?

Ha!
DeleteI suspect that the main reason Mrs. Chatterbox keeps me around is because I'm a furnace and keep her feet warm at night. Honestly, I can't think of another reason.
ReplyDeleteShe probably needs you to open jars too, right?
DeleteThe shawl is great! The Burberry ad, not so much. I don't understand fashion, I really don't.
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth is Heckler & Koch??
Thanks! I don't get the ad either. Is that a purse? Are they saying that love is a prison? It's very confusing. Plus - cookie dough!
DeleteA Heckler & Koch is a type of gun. I know this from all the suspense books I read. But don't ask me anything else about it!
Love the shawl. All the more precious because of your friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThat's awesome you can use those scraps that have a special meaning - those are always the best projects!
ReplyDeleteI had a guy I had a crush on in high school with that name - he pronounced it as 'Cook' ...
I've seen that ad all over Blog Lovin all week & every time, I'm like what the heck is that?!?!?
I know - I have no idea. I took a picture of it today because my blog was on my Bloglovin feed right underneath the ad - synchronicity!
DeleteThat ad is very effective, and the bag is cute. And now, I want a chocolate chip cookie. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteHa!
DeleteHa! Keep telling yourself that. I usually sleep with my feet sticking out from under the sheet and blanket. Though, yeah, I used to be very cold blooded and while I still don't like sitting under an air vent and I think a lot of stores over-refrigerate, I don't have to take a jacket to the movies or restaurants anymore.
ReplyDeleteYeah - I think my temperature control is just going to be different from now on. I remember my mom used to go out barefoot in the snow - now I understand why!
DeleteLove the shawl. I love the color changes. Very unique. You could sell this, you know. Just don't offer it up to that tax-time pig...I hear he's quite the fashion maven. Perhaps the choco chip cookie bag instead.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah - I don't think the pig would care for the shawl. Ha!
