Day Fifteen: What was I saying?
Last weekend I went to a Mommy Hobby party at Karaoke Diva's place.
It wasn't advertised as a Mommy Hobby party. It was an All Day Scrapbooking Extravaganza, which sounds like great fun unless you (and by you I mean I) can't motivate yourself to pack up art supplies and have digital photos printed.
I CAN, however, motivate myself to pick up the damned cardigan sleeves that are sucking the life right out of me. Why can't they knit themselves? Stupid, stupid lace increases and such.
While we were there, Word to Your Mutha was gathering footage for The Show.
And now I'm part of the Mommy Hobbies show!
Watch closely--I'm the argyle girl with the terrible posture who never makes eye contact and mumbles something about Throwing it Down.
Be sure to watch the outtakes. I'm mumbling again! (Listen closely. I think I'm saying something about how the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. Either that, or I'm ordering another burrito.)
Now you definitely don't want to be my friend. I'm one of those argyle-sporting mumblers! And there's really nothing worse.
The show is good. (And you can watch the others here.)
Enjoy.

Instead, fans of your blog can see you perched on the porch instead. You look lovely and the interview is excellent. It's a show about Mommy Bloggers and it's coming up sometime in December. Stay tuned for more information.
Also, FP will appear in a future show about what to do should mommy have an emergency hospital stay. There's talk about pouring raspberry beer on her as a tribute to her homies.
Three chances to see FP? What a Merry Christmas it will be.
Thanks again for doing this for me.

Now that I've actually seen one, I won't feel so weird about bringing my needlework amongst the paper pasting hoardes. Oh, and you'd better warn Mutha, I think I've got a new girl crush. How cute is she?

I think I'm afeared of Mutha. So durned perky.

You can call me, 'Sir'
at 11/15/2007 12:24:20 PM- The introduction was so happy and upbeat that a very dark part of me sort of hoped that the show would be about overwhelmingly inappropriate hobbies like mailbox baseball or manufacturing crystal meth.
It was still lovely, though. Argyle is a form of Scottish camouflage, BTW.

Oldest and I say 'word to ya mutha' to each other all the time, now I have to go watch more.
Excellent nodding, by the way...

at 11/15/2007 4:16:36 PM- Surcie--Thanks for the hair thing, and I know! Her lips WERE perfectly glossed. BUT: the kids weren't there, so there was gloss time.
TX Poppet--I'm planning on bringing my knitting to all future crop parties. The hostess will appreciate it, because I'll require very little space.
Witchypoo--I think you almost HAVE to be perky to have a show. I know *I* could NEVER do it. I'm too glum and shifty.
Sir--That's the topic for another show, I'm sure. And I totally want to be in on the Crime Mom show. (I've got a spoon, a lighter, and a baseball bat. PLUS, I sometimes wear my pants pulled down to my knees.)
Blackbird--I practiced that nod for days. And you should see my winkin' and my blinkin'!
Sara--You are nothing but nice. Consider this your invitation to be my friend.
Beth--I considered spicing it up by knitting with vibrators instead of needles, but alas. It's a family show.

at 11/15/2007 9:31:57 PM- tut-tut--That's the first thing I noticed when I watched the video. I'll never be one of those people who don't watch what they're knitting.
KD--Word!
Dang, you have cute hair. How many times can I say that?
What I really want to know is, how is someone with three kids so perky with such perfectly-glossed lips? I feel like such a slacker.
