Matthew and I had waffles and bacon this morning. Some of the waffles, while tasty, were less than picture-perfect.
They make good counter top ruined walls, though.
Vicki wondered about that "current" thing that Chris mentioned in yesterday's comments. If you do not reside in the Twin Cities area you probably were wondering, too.
Eighty-nine point three The Current is Minnesota Public Radio's non-classical, non-news station. (The classical station is KSJN, 99.5; news is KSJR, 91.1; I knew you wanted to know.) It plays a wide range of contemporary music, from Frank Sinatra (rarely) to hip hop (less rarely) to alternative rock (as I type they are playing something by Eddie Vedder) to indie (lots).
Chris and I discovered that we both have The Current red travel tumbler and the stoneware mug, although her mug is [tragically] maroon instead of my way-cooler black :)

Startitis struck again: last night as I was reading in bed (at 1 am) I kept thinking about the dog blanket I had bought yarn for yesterday. So I got up and cast on.
The blanket is for Rolling Dog Ranch, the charity that Amy picked for me to pay it forward to. The sharp-eyed among you may be able to pick out the pattern, which is a well-known one. Steve of Rolling Dog specified that the blanket should be washable, so I'm using (arg!) black Red Heart ack doubled-stranded for the background and Caron Simply Soft (much nicer!), also double-stranded, for the stripes. A good, fast, and mindless knit on US#10-1/2 needles. Note: the only worsted-weight washable black yarn available to me at 7 pm last night at Wal*Mart was the Red Heart. Mea culpa.
Yesterday I made another preemie cap for Jeanne. Here it is, being modeled by Matthew's fist.
That makes up for the one that En messed with. Thanks to those of you who volunteered to untangle that skein for me. I wasn't quite ready to give up on it yet, but hey! if you'll promise to use it for a preemie hat and send it to Jeanne, first one to send me her snail mail addy gets it.
