I thought about doing the "Ten on Tuesday" theme of favorite clothing, but while I enjoy reading memes on other blogs, I can't get my act together to follow through. Just so you'll know, my favorite clothing item is a pair of well fitting jeans. Eddie Bauer's are long enough for my 36" leg and fit well in the hip (low-rider enough). However, I must try on every pair, as within a size one does not fit like another, and light denim stretches out more than dark denim. I know my jeans well.
Scattergories sounded fun, but I didn't want to think that hard.

The end
I thought about taking pictures of the boyz, but the dreary weather has made it difficult (until yesterday as you'll see). Neither one of them likes to sit still for long. I've tried to get Max to do a Chuck, and he does a pretty good job, but I can tell he feels put upon.
And, I thought about doing Eight "things about me", but couldn't pull together a list that long. Here's one two:
- While I haven't found much time for spinning I have joined a fiber club (or two) and purchased other fiber. (Anne's alpaca/bamboo grabbed me by the nape and made me push the buy button). When the little cut on my thumb heals I'll be back at the wheel and put in my 10 minutes a day (at least!).
- The pantry is haunting me. I can't open the door without angst. It's piled high in a balancing act that keeps me in awe. Why doesn't everything inside fall out onto my head? Must decide what stays, what goes. This could be a perfect place to house my tea collection if only it was cleaned out, painted and reorganized...a tall order with my current state of mind.
Thank goddess, yesterday afternoon as I left work the sun was shining so brightly and the sky was shockingly blue! What is that big beautiful thing in the sky and LOOK at the mountains covered with white. WOW! It was then my mood changed and I realized that January would be over this weekend! Hasta la vista, January!! February may be colder and snowier, but it's SHORT!
So...I think can gather myself together and figure out the best way to accomplish something this weekend and that just might make it good one. Enjoy yours!
what an adorable picture of max! and that blue sky is so intense. i love it. happy friday, margene!

Oh. A haunted pantry. When you finish yours, can you come take care of mine? Yeesh.
Have a good weekend!

Have a wonderful one. How about ten minutes a day tossing stuff from the pantry before the organization?

Cleaning out that pantry will be a chore but you'll feel so much lighter when it's done. go for it!

I have a pantry closet that needs serious cleaning too...uggh.
Max is just too darn cute!

Aw, that picture of Max is adorable!
Sending you some getting stuff done mojo.

Well, I enjoyed the scattered, random, one or two, here and there-ness of this post! Have a great weekend!!

My pantry scares me, too, especially since my husband took over the grocery shopping...

Happy Weekend to you...may you enjoy what you do, and feel good about what gets done.

Hahahah, I love this entry. Poor Max! He does look put upon. :D

One thing thats good about moving is everything is in order for awhile. Yesterday was a beautiful day I was warm for about two hours.

It must be the short days....I've been so scattered I'm actually working on three projects at the same time! Pantries are impossible....I thoroughly cleaned and organized mine before the holidays and we are already back to stuff falling out when I open the doors! (Oh, that blue Utah sky...I miss it, but no trip in the immediate future.)

That is quite the handsome boy you've got there.
My pantry is also a disaster. I dropped a big half case of black beans on my toe the other day, luckily a glancing blow that didn't cripple me.

Wishing you blue skies all February long. Have a great weekend!

OMG, the jeans! I have finally learned that just because one pair of jeans is "perfect," I can't buy the exact same pair in the exact same size and expect it to fit. It took more than a few whacks over the head to figure that out...

Max is a good sport. What a sweet little face. As for the rest? We are rounding the corner on winter, grrl!!! I can feel it. The birdsong this morning was almost springlike. I was thrilled. We're gonna make it. Get some sun and enjoy the heck out of your weekend.

My organizing is progressing at a snails pace but that's okay, it's winter. What a beautiful little Max face and so Schnauzerish! He's thinking "Okay, it'll be over in a minute. The things I have to put up with!" I miss my Buck so much!
Wish you could send just a little of your snow to me!
Have a great weekend Margene!

hi margene,
if you haven't already, use a dab of superglue on that thumb! you'll be spinning again immediately :)
Posted by: jenny | January 30, 2009 at 09:10 AM
Poor Max. He's trying to be such a good boy for you. But he looks like he's asking why you're making him do such silly things.
Posted by: Cheryl S. | January 30, 2009 at 10:12 AM
I love that Max, and I really want to know how the bamboo spinning goes. :D
Ya know, for some of us, scattered is a way of life. Just sayin'...
Happy Friday!

You're so funny! I love your scattered post. And what a gorgeous, stunning mountain shot! I'm so glad the sun came out! (it did here, too!)
Have a great weekend and Happy Feb 1!!!
(((hugs)))

Have a great weekend!!! January went fast!

Two things:
1) 36 inch leg? I feel stubby. (My inseam is 27.5. The .5 is important dammit.)
2) What *is* that thing on Max' head?
Posted by: Diane | January 30, 2009 at 03:46 PM
Awesome sky picture! Wow. I'm going to the Three Wishes birthday party tomorrow to buy the new Knitscene and get some free goodies.

Ahh, that Max is such a GOOD boy! Wishing you a bright and sunny weekend to soak up some of that missing Vit D. Jeans are my favorite article of clothing too, and I get just a little bit glum when it gets too hot in May and I have to figure out what else to wear.
