Happy Bloggiversary to me!
For my real Bloggiversary, you get a pattern. ;) Happy Day!

I was sitting in my car listening to the radio the other day because we do not have trustworthy radio reception in the house and I wanted to hear just one more thing. So, as I sat there, I finished the decrease rounds and the pom pom for my cartman beanie. I guess cartman appeals to me so much because he is so outrageous. My defunct air freshener does show that my personality has balance between cartman's appeal and the desire to only keep nice people around. This lightly hidden bite to my personality is also illustrated by my enjoyment of Happy Bunny.




As I got shutter happy while gathering pre- and post-pompom pics, I began to feel like I was channeling the director of photography from the Alanis Morisette video for Ironic.


La la la - "It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures" - la la LA - Alanis Morisette

(Please forgive the visual redundancy...I just love that last picture on the right.)
