Family, Kelp Knitting | Posted by Jannie on 8 January 2009 @ 4:17 PM
– just because instead of spending $1.87 a day at Starbucks, I’m now home-brewing a can of ground Columbian which supposedly will yield 724 cups, it doesn’t mean I can up my usual 1 coffee a day to 3 (as I did today, naughty Jannie!)
– dittoes on that gallon bottle of cheap (but oh so tasty,) French “table wine” I snagged for $8.99.
– there IS quite a noticeable difference between a dark navy and a black sock, as many strangers must’ve witnessed on my feet at that recent please-take-your shoes-off-we-just-got-new-carpet party.
– just because Susan Dell goes all day without sitting, including when she’s at her computer, doesn’t mean the rest of us are living meaningless lives if we don’t. (Does it?)
– give my sister (sunshine lady pictured above with nephew, Austin,) the password for my Wordpress login in case I kick the bucket, so my blog buds will know I’m up drinking beer with the angels. (Not that I’m planning on “going” anywhere soon but one has to consider these things.)

All very important “notes to self”. Your sister looks like she’s 12! I’m sure she’ll let us know when you’re throwin’ ‘em back with the angels, but yeah, I’m hoping you’re around for a long, long time.

Next time I get a “please-take-your shoes-off-we-just-got-new-carpet” I’m leaving. Seriously. I think it’s rude and unfair to guests. Wanna have people over? Clean after them. Thank you very much.

Notifying someone of my password to my blog would require picking something ENTIRELY different as a password…sigh. As for Starbucks coffee…I buy their Pike Place by the 5 lb bag and have THEM grind it for me a half pound at a time and then brew it myself…heh. I think with the cream and sugar that I must add to any coffee, a LARGE mug runs me LESS than a dollar a day and still tastes better than the store brand…for about the same price…heh!

Weyrd1: Ahh, a fellow coffee lover! When they went to that Pike’s Place brew I found it too strong. Do you throw the grounds on your garden?
Marelisa: Put it in a will?
Vered: I love your idea! There is also stain-guard that carpet can be treated with and works pretty well.
C2+3: Rosann (Rosie,) is 31! But she does look young. And awfully cute from any angle.

I’m such a cheater — I go to Starbucks with my mom every morning and she’s generous enough to pay for my coffee. My mom is great…
And I’ve heard that Michael Dell does the same thing — he stands at his computer all day. In the house I had before this one, I had a bar-type counter at the end of my kitchen, and I used to leave my computer there and stand to use it… I got quite used to it, actually. I wish I had a high counter like that in this house…

Great ideas. Does Susan Dell really go all day without sitting? Is that the key to a behind the size of a peach? Hmm… maybe I should get one of those stand-up desks and prop it in the corner of my kitchen.

Wonderful photo – Austin is a sweetie!
My hubby (colour-blind) would swear there is no perceivable difference between black socks and navy blue at all. He would swear it’s all in the name and has nothing to do with colour at all.
I read an article once that suggested sitting on an exercise ball while at the computer…keep exercising those legs and thighs while your fingers are clicking away. All I could think was, “Do I really want to keep repeatedly falling off a ball while working? And how would I explain all the butt bruising?” I just make sure I get my workout in…and limit the Tim Horton donuts…well, downsize them to Timbits at least!

Hey at least it wasn’t holes in the socks or stink feet. But I do think it’s rude to ask people to take their shoes off….unless of course they’re covered in dog poo…then maybe it’s okay. I’d give my hubby my password so he could inform the blogosphere about my demise…but I just know he’d do evil things while I wasn’t looking. I can just imagine the posts with pictures included….EEEK!

Hi Jannie – I’m with Vered – I think it’s REALLY rude. And people even do it to my elderly mother who takes ages to put her shoes on in the morning.
I’m seeing a few bloggers refer to making their own coffee and so on to save money – is it really that tough over there? We don’t notice a change here.

Every time I have to take my shoes off for a carpet, I flash back to all those sofas with plastic I couldn’t sit on.
It also reminds me of the point in the Last Lecture about how he purposefully spilled his drink so his nephew wouldn’t feel bad about messing up his car — and he said — it’s just a thing … Remember it’s just a thing.

Interesting.
I switched to tea to save money. A box of store brand tea (48 count) cost me a $1.50, whereas a jar of cheap instant costs me abot $4. The monetary savings ain’t much, but the heartburn is less.
As for taking off the shoes, no way would I do that. I would simply decline the invite.
As for sitting, due to a few medical problems, I actually can only sit for twenty minutes at a clip at work, and at home, my preference when using my computer is standing.

How about that? Your nephew is named Austin, my second grandson is named Austin, and you live in Austin. There used to be an English car called the Austin too. Crazy world we have!
I know a lot of folks who enforce the no shoes rule in their homes. I agree with J.D. and Vered, it is rude to demand such action from your guests. Christ, I had not thought about those plastic covers on couchs in ages. Knew a couple that never used their living room, and all the furniture was covered in plastic; eerie and weird I say.
Thanks Snaggletooth for plugging my blogsite. Yes, I have posted more than a dozen of Sylvia Plath’s poems, and plan on putting a few more on soon. Jannie has rattled the poetic cage, and Ms. Plath came rushing out.
Like Lance, I love the concept of “drinking beer with the angels”. That might even be a segue into a poem. Poetry just comes along when it wants to. Usually you can’t force it. It is a natural process. But I must say once you start, it gets easier. Everywhere you look, everything you hear and read and think kicks off imagery and wordsmithing.

No one has ever asked me to take my shoes off because they had new carpet, but I’m such a people-pleaser that I probably would. Maybe I just don’t have classy friends? That got me thinking. At what point do they decide to go ahead and let people walk on their carpet?
Kelp Knitting? That had me gasping for air! Your categories are hilarious!
At my age (I love saying that), my metabolism has slowed down too much (out of shape, don’t eat right) and caffeine can keep me up all night if I’m not careful. I love Starbucks because it’s strong and bitter, which I happen to like, but I get quite a buzz from their decaf. However, I don’t buy it because I’m willing to drink Folger’s at home and the crappy coffee that’s free at work.

2. Never the less,I do like your euphemism for dying, “drinking beer with the angels”. After a chef dies in New York they say he/she is “cooking for the Kennedys”.
3. Your sister is an absolute hottie. Please tell her I said so and don’t hesitate to post more pictures of her.

Lisa: There could be worse things than spending on a Starbucks a day, like daily heroin. I probably could get used to that stading-up to work thing. But that’s what God invented sofas for.
Lance: And the angels have only the heavenliest hops to choose from.
Heather: My sister is ‘way purtier than I’ll ever be. yesh, I dunno on that standing-up thing. She sure does look good. But give me $40 billion and I may get to looking a little better too. Hey, no disrespect to Susan Dell but I would not be adverse to a littel botox and some lipo here and there.
Talon: I will post more pix of Austin. And Rosie. And Alyssa, Austin’s sister. Wow color-blind eh? For all colors? An exercise ball! Sure would have some buffness going on after you mastered the not-falling-off part I bet.
Patricia: Yeah, if all the guests passed out from smelling stinky feet, wouldn’t be much of a party, eh?
Nikki: Your hubby doing Evil Things, ha, ha! That’s the reason I’m giving the passcode to my SISTER!! Plus, she’s 3000 miles away so teh chances of her and me kicking the bucket simultaneously are rather slim. (Hopefully.)
Robin: To your elderly mother?!?!? I’d slap them silly. Well, not in dire straits here, but saving a little money here and there sure adds up after a while. And allows me to buy POETRY BOOKS!!! hee, hee. Because i can’t be content with just reading them at the bookstore. I have to OWN THEM!!!!!
Snag: Yay, I’ll be over soon to see what you done writ on that meme, whee-hoo! Peeing – I pee at least 14 times a day, sorry ‘way TMI.
Mia: I do care for you more than you know, yes. However, and this JUST occured to me… if I didn’t mention I was dead I’d probably get A LOT of comments on that last post, break my record I bet!!!
Belle: We share some features, yes. And she is beautiful. I could just sit and stare at her ALL day, and I do when we are together which is jsut once a year, dammit. That skirt – an amazing illusion, when she stands up it actually falls to her ankles. (A Canadian thing.)
Carla: Yes, it’s a tolerance thing. About this time last year I drank only one cup of half-calf a day. Then I shot it all to hell. As long as my last caffeine is before 2:00 p.m. I sleep like a dead bra-flinger.
J.D. We had an employee at my husband’s car shop whose wife never took the plastic off the dining room chair seats. They are long since divorced now and she drove him into bankruptcy but I sure remember that plastic on those chairs. Things are just things, what a great quote, you should use that for Davina’s project.
Georgie: tea can be good, my friend Ruth and I used to drink cups and cups of it a day as teens playing Double Solitare wtih the AC/DC cranked up to 11. Ah, so you stand while computing at home. By George, Georgie, I might see if that can work for me, especially since I had to lie down today to button my jeans, heh, heh.
Sheila: Viscious cycle, indeed, ha, ha! Maybe put it in a bank safe deposit box? Or have it tattooed onto the bottom of your foot?
Stacey: Ye, of better balance than I, I could stay at one cup a day, but really, cannot give it up completely. Just love it too much. Okay, I could but maybe in year 2064 when I’m 100.
Glenn: And I had a great-cousin named Austin, he was always the Santa at church on Christmas Eve, and a dang good one too. Wait, or was that Wille? Damn, they’re all dead now. And dropping like flies, the old ones. Why, Glenn, why? Why?
Dot: I went to a party once where they had us all suspended from ropes, (as they do on stage to simulate people flying,) so nobody would touch the carpet. It was quite interesting, to say the least. “The crappy coffee that’s free at work” lol. Love that crappy coffee.” Jeez, when I was a teacher I’d drink, like, 6 cups before noon – was just “the thing to do” in the staff room. ‘Course I was just a filly of 23-24 year back then.
Wade: NO BEER IN HEAVEN??? Okay, you made me Goofle it…
In heaven there is no beer
(no beer? !)
That’s why we drink it here
And when we’re all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.
Good one!
“Cooking for the Kennedys,” ain’t that the truth.
My sister will no doubt be reading all these comments, as she does regularly, so you’ve just told her yourself! And yes, I will be posting more of her.
Joy: Hmmmmn, very very deep. And Glenn, you MUST read Joy’s poetry. It’s right “up there.” All hers are GREAT, not ever 5th one, like mine.
Debbie: I’m not sure I’ve ever had any wine that cost more than $11.99. Okay well, yes the Veuve Cliquot, of course, back when it was still only $27.99.

Ah…the sock story. This happened to me last night. I was sitting next to Mrs. Perfect at my son’s ball game. I looked down at my socks to make sure I didn’t have any of those “balls” stuck to my sock. You know, the ones that are stuck on there from throwing a towel in the dryer with them. Anyways, not only did I have “balls” stuck on my socks I had one blue and one black. My fault, I know…I folded the socks to begin with. I probably did it wear not contacts or glasses.
MMMM….I need to give someone my passcode in case something happens to me.

Jannie Ha ha, that comment about your socks was funny…..BECAUSE I did something similar a couple of months ago. I flew out the door on my way to school running late. Except, what I did was really retarded. I was driving down the road and felt something on my feet and I thought to myself, “something feels weird here.”
There was something weird going on alright, I looked down and I had put a crock on one foot and a flip flop on the other. THEY DID NOT EVEN LOOK REMOTELY SIMILAR! Yes, scary, I know. Sad really.
On 10 January 2009 at 7:52 am Tammy said,
Oh, and hey that thing about your password triggered a thought. I have told a friend of mine that I was locking some of my poetry up in a safe in case I die, and leaving the key with him. I would hate for my parents to get a hold of some of the provocative things I have written. It would send them into cardiac arrest if they knew who it was written about.

Okay, so…
Weyrd1: My dream is to downsize to a condo. Oh, is it ever! But the Hubby likes a lot of stuff around, mostly old old old cars that do not currently run. But he’s a real nice guy so I let his obsession(s) slide.
Heff: Even you millionaires economize, eh?
Cricket: I know those Perfect Moms. Ah, but we are all the same on the inside, tho it is rumored not all kidneys and spleens look exactly alike. P.S. I love your bloomers, er I mean bloopers!
Karyn: I should be like Kelly and have the chutzpah to wear a red sock with a purple and a pink with a green. But I just can’t do it. I try to draw attention to my eyes and dazzling conversation rather than my feet.
Steph: What a toot of a hoot. Did you ever see the Seinfeld “Beefarini” episode wtih Kramer and the horse in the NY hansom cab horse ride? Classic.
Don Mills Diva, welcome! It seems ages and ages ago I left a comment on your blog. Glad to see you getting your feet wet in the comments here! I enjoy your wirting and look forward to getting to know you better.
Jessica: Been there and done that hole in the big toe thing. Wouldn’t bother me so much now, (I hope) as when I was a mere young ‘un of this great planet. Could take off the socks but lack of maintained pedicure is not a good look either.
Davina: And what would your farewell missive say? Good-bye lovely trees, hills and butterflies. Meet you on the other side?
Tammy: That is hilarious about the one Croc, one flip-flop. HA HA!! Did you turn around and go back or go to school that way? Oh, and I wrote some poems about my parents that got burned, better that way for me.
(Note, to self, now wasn’t the second time ’round even better?) YES!!

This is great. Love the fam photo. The socks reminds me of when I was a kid (one of ten) and didn’t have any light in my upstairs bedroom that I shared with a couple of sisters, it would never fail I would get to school and notice I had one navy and one black knee sock on!
I plan on drinking beer with angels as well, I’ll look you up if you get there before me.

Jannie- I went back home to change. Luckily I only live about a 2 minute drive from school. I did not plan that it just happened to work out that way.
Oh, and the poems I wrote had nothing to do with my parents I can tell ya. I am about to get 2 of my poems published this year. (if all goes well) No big deal though. There is a professor at school that prints a book each semester with students photography, artwork, and poetry. So, I should have a couple of things in that book.
I will never be able to show it to my parents though. They don’t even know I write. Too much of my writing would open a can of worms that I intend on keeping a tight lid on- not even so much for my sake but mostly for theirs.
You wrote something not long ago on being able to be yourself when you write, there is no one to please. I get that, I really get that.

Girl you know they gonna be floating on clouds up there(smoke clouds.) I ain’t no fool Imma bring a lighter. OOPS Misspelled that up there didn’t I?
Did i ever mention my college major is in spelling? I am in the process of challenging Webster on some of his views of Etymology.

Ahh, Sweet Rosie-Boo. I cannot bear the thought of us ever parting so this is the last you’ll ever hear from my lips on the matter. Consider this blog now sufficiently last willed and testamented. Love, xoxoxo
Natural: Yes, I worte about how great it was to fling all those bras and run barefoot and often naked through the snow. No, not really – but I guess I better get to that Final Post, how weird will it be to always see than in my drafts folder??
Tammy: When I smoke weed I do even weirder things than usual so I best stick to the gallons of wine. And misspelling contests. And Rastafarian whipped cream smuggling contests. And such. xo

I love the idea of sharing your wordpress password so someone else could fill in the world of your eventual passing. Who is to say you would not find an alternative way of letting your blog world know yourself?

I’ve actually thought about what I should do with my WordPress login and hosting information in case I was to pass away unexpectedly. Online I would just disappear and no one would know what had happened. I’m not sure, however, who to give the information to.
And I totally drink more coffee when I make it home because it’s cheaper
