![Years ago, I met someone at work. The conversation went something like this.
Me: We should be friends. Want to go to a hockey game TONIGHT?!?
Her: Yes?
I think she said yes because she was a little scared to say no. Coming in hot is pretty on brand for me.
She recently observed that in my romance shorts, my couples meet, connect, and immediately decide they are soulmates before living happily ever after.
And she was all “Wait, that’s kind of fast…but that is how Katie rolls.”
Thanks for getting me, @scottiegirly !
I hope you’re having the Friday you need, Crew! It’s a good day to check out Standing Together (standing-together.org) if you’re not familiar with them. I love you!!!

New Year’s Resolutions 2014
1. Frequent more local eateries.
fyi: the guacamole at Mother’s Cafe is delicious!
2. Finish the quilting project I’ve been working on by April 15. The Husband and I worked on the taxes New Year’s Eve, so I should have some free time in early April.
3. Don’t be jealous, but I also spent New Year’s Eve cleaning off my desk while enjoying a mimosa. That’s how I roll. Start 2014 with a (mostly) clean desk – check!
4. Continue to enjoy driving my all electric Nissan Leaf! 37k + gas free miles and counting! (Stop spending the money I’m saving on yarn. The stash is getting out of control.)
5. Eat more fresh fruits and veggies and frequent the farmer’s market.
6. Take more time to smell the knitting (or roses).
Sydney smelling my Sheepy Ornament - more on that Friday.
8. Try 1 new healthy recipe per month.
7. Increase my machine sewing comfort level (from you know, almost none).
8. Finish 14 pairs of socks.
Including my Hunter Hammersen Swoopy Thing on the Foot Socks (more on that tomorrow).
…and the socks formerly known as the Glass Slippers (Bea Socks by Christina Wilkins).
9.Do NOT buy any more items for wrapping gifts. My gift-wrapping supply inventory still makes my yarn stash seem sane.
Have a very happy 2014! I wish you all an amazing year!!!

That’s such a great shoot of the sheep ornament with the dog sniffing it. Your socks are very beautiful.
Thanks. Sydney has excellent timing. :)
Thank you so much for your sock compliment. :)
Ha, my NYE was as exciting as yours. But, I didn’t get my taxes done.. I’m a bit jealous in that regard. We made some changes in 2013, and I’m not sure how they’re going to affect us. I’m hoping the tax man doesn’t come looking for my yarn $$. :-D
Don’t even JOKE about that!
