Kathy's World Series Q & A

Kathy is thrilled that the Chicago Cubs have made it to the World Series - and frankly, so am I!  To be honest, I have nothing against the Cleveland Indians, but Chicago is one of the places I have lived - both as a child and then for a couple of years once The Tim finished grad school.  So I have a "home" connection to Chicago, and I hope I haven't just jinxed things for them. ;-)

So anyway, let's answer this week's queries.

-- What is your favorite fabric to wear?

I have to say flannel in cold weather, and cotton in warmer weather.  They are comfort fabrics to me.

-- Who woke you up this morning?

My bladder.  I woke up ten minutes before the alarm, having to use the bathroom.  This is actually surprising, because 99% of the time it is some combination of the felines in the family ... and a lot earlier. (ugh)

-- Last time you had to turn off the announcers and turn on the radio for a sports event.

A few years ago, when I was watching a Phillies game.  Usually though, I leave the TV and rant.  Pleasant, no?

-- Last food item you ate?

I had a slice of leftover pizza for dinner.

-- Last item you had knit regrets about?

My Multnomah Shawl.  I screwed it up when I got to the lacy border, but didn't realize it until well into it.  So every once in a while, I rip back a few rows, hoping that when I get to the last row before the border, that a) I'll realize it, and b) I can "get" it when I try to knit the border again.  It's really too bad, because I had zoomed through the shawl, loved knitting it, and couldn't wait to wear it. Grrrrr.

-- Last time a family member said to you, "When are you going to finish that thing?"

Never.

-- Are you still working on a New Year's resolution?

I don't make resolutions, really, I just try to decide on some goals and intentions.  But I am continuing to work on one in particular, because I got sidetracked over the summer.  I'm doing OK with it, so I'm glad about that.

-- Last great amateur photo you saw?

My niece Liz took a photo of her son Zach and another niece's daughter Penn this past weekend when they were all together for my brother-in-law's birthday.  It's both adorable and beautifully composed.

-- Do you know someone who is an organ recipient or donor?

Yes.  A former neighbor had a kidney transplant a few years back.  And both The Tim and I have marked ourselves as organ donors.

Flannel is such a wonderful comfort fabric! I just want to wrap up in it all winter --- with a wool sweater over the top! :-) (And let's go, Cubs!!!)

my favorite is cotton tees long sleeve and then piling on the wool :) Refined wool that is. My brother in law gave my sister in law a kidney (his wife!). I thought that was cool!

Love leftover pizza and flannel!

I had leftover pizza for lunch-so good. Being an organ donor is such a gift, my half-brother has been on the heart transplant list for about a year and he's only 50.

I'm with you on the flannel right now! It's darn chilly out!

On Friday nights, after we went to bed, my parents would have a pizza. They always saved me the crusts - as that was my favorite part. I would get up - for years and years I did this - and eat the crusts with a glass of chocolate milk for my breakfast!!

There are two announcers on the one NASCAR station I watch. One is a former driver, one is a former crew chief. They never STOP TALKING! And they have annoying voices - LOL! I sit there yelling - shut up shut up shut up!!! Then I mute the tv!!

Sorry about your Multnomah shawl; mine turned out to be kind of small.... I visited (as a volunteer knitter) a liver transplant patient who was in the hospital and waiting. How tough would that be? And we had a friend who received a lung transplant; he had a couple more good years as a result.

My husband is rooting for the Cubs, too! He's watching it every night. And yes, my bladder is almost always my alarm!
