We really haven&#8217;t done much to improve the house since we bought it more than ten years ago, so a change like this is very exciting.  We have other things to do in there, but this will at least keep the floor from actively rotting out, so it&#8217;s good to have it done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<a href=\"http:\/\/turtlegirl76.com\" target=\"blank\">Turtlegirl76<\/a> now has me hooked on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dead_Like_Me\" target=\"blank\">Dead Like Me,<\/a> yet another brilliant but cancelled TV show.  Thanks, Turtlegirl!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;I have finished sock one of the Rainbow socks.  I always make them a bit short, so I knitted them a little longer this time and now I think they&#8217;re a little too long.  Also, I CANNOT FIND MY SECOND SKEIN.  I know exactly where I put it, because I made a mental &#8220;don&#8217;t lose this!&#8221; note, but I swear it&#8217;s not there now.  Maybe I moved it unknowingly when shifting things around to make room for bathroom stuff in the bedroom while renovating.  I don&#8217;t know.  It&#8217;s making me a little crazy, though.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;I sold some sock yarn from my stash via Ravelry&#8217;s &#8220;for sale or trade&#8221; stash section.  So pretty, but I&#8217;d had it for a year so I don&#8217;t know when I was going to use it.  I&#8217;m going to put a couple of bulky skeins in there to further pare down my stash.  Maybe I won&#8217;t lose any more yarn I actually NEED if there&#8217;s less total yarn.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/2430604943\/\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2209\/2430604943_b12574d56c_m.jpg\" height=\"200\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"right\"><\/a><br \/>\n&#8211;April is National Poetry month, so I brought home a library book of poems by Dean Koontz called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Paper-Doorway-Funny-Verse-Nothing\/dp\/0064409848\" target=\"blank\">The Paper Doorway.<\/a>  It inspired Emily to write this poem:<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Hannah, Hannah you are nice.<br \/>\nI think you really look like ice.<br \/>\nI make you beautiful wrup.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll bake you in a pie and eat you up.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>My daughter tells me &#8220;wrup&#8221; means &#8220;afraid.&#8221;  Click on the picture for a bigger view &#8211; you can see feet sticking out of the pie.
