I have a theory . . .
it could be bunnies! Well maybe not bunnies. But then again they could have something to do with it. Looking all cute with their twitchy little noses and fluffy little tails, munching on carrots. I’m certain they have set a master plan in motion for world domination. But I don’t think it includes making ordinary, everyday items disappear from my house. This, I am sure, is due to a black hole in my humble hometown. And this void of space is positioned right in my very own home!
This huge black mass of singularity is sucking up stuff right from under my nose. Let me explain. When we moved into this house 8 years ago, I had a cassette tape of a choir performance I particpated in while in college. Ever since the move I have been unable to find said tape. Black hole sucked it up. Next missing item . . . a dinner plate. How does one go about “losing” a dinner plate? One doesn’t. It’s just not possible. I have serving plates that I use when going to a party so the dinner plates never leave my house. Ever. They go from the cupboard to the table to the sink to the dishwasher. How does a dinner plate go missing? Black hole. There is no other explination. The latest missing item is my portable CD organizer for use in the car. We had taken it out of the car months ago when we were ripping our entire CD collection and it has been sitting in our four-season room ever since. As soon as I took it back out to the car, it went MIA. My car is locked at all times, even when parked in the garage. Again the only explination . . . a black hole. There are several other things that have gone missing over the years but these are the ones that stand out to me. Especially the dinner plates. And a black hole would also explain all those socks that go missing when I put them in the dryer. Besides, what use would bunnies have for a cassette tape, CD organizer, socks and a dinner plate? Hmmm . . . they are trying to take over the world . . .
In knitting news, I am making good progress on my Bolero. I need a sassy name for it. I can’t call it by the pattern name because Fiery it is not. The color of the yarn is called moss but Mossy Bolero makes me think of a moldy sweater. And I don’t want to associate the word “mold” with this project. So since I’m not very creative today, I guess it will just be Bolero for now. Anyhoo, it is knit in one piece and I’ve started casting on the extra stitches to create the sleaves. I have to cast on 8 stitches at the beginning of 12 rows and I’ve done 4 rows so far. It’s been a nice mindless knit that I can use to unwind. Maybe I’ll even be able to finish it up by the end of this coming weekend. *cough* *choke* *cough* It’s good to have high lofty goals, right?
