My Muppet Self

I was visiting the Yarn Thing blog, and came across a Muppet Personality test. So, I figured, what the heck.

You Are Scooter

Brainy and knowledgeable, you are the perfect sidekick. You're always willing to lend a helping hand. In any big event or party, you're the one who keeps things going. "15 seconds to showtime!"

The Muppet Personality Test

Ok. That actually makes some sense.

Now, this didn't surprise me....

You Are Marge Simpson

You're a devoted family member who loves unconditionally. Sometimes, though, you dream about living a wild secret life! You will be remembered for: your good cooking and evading the police Your life philosophy: "You should listen to your heart, and not the voices in your head."

The Simpsons Personality Test

When suffering from a very bad cold, or extreme hay fever, I can actually do her worrisome grumble quit well.

And since I don't have anything better to do today...

You Are a Beer Woman

You drink to have fun and let loose. Simple as that. And you aren't picky about what you drink, though you can appreciate a quality brew. Casual and down to earth, you can hang with the guys more easily than the girls. You prefer to date a man who is manly, direct, and sure of what he wants.

What Kind of Drinking Woman Are You?

Mmmhmm. Considering my best friend has been around since we were 13, and playing quarters was a favorite past time before we turned 21, this totally makes sense. I was speaking to him on the phone last night, and while we were catching up, I had the last two MGD's in my fridge. Some things never change, thankfully.

I really should go do something constructive now. Really.

I've Become a Joiner....

I knew that at some point, I would join a stitchalong or a knitalong. I've never been much for joining groups - something about the commitment and participation business just didn't appeal to me. I did participate in a stitching group for a while, but we would meet on weekends, and sometimes I had to drive over an hour to get to the meeting place, and I enjoy being a quasi hermit on the weekends.

In 2004, I met three ladies that belonged to a local chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America found here. I became the Chapter President last summer. Once the website has been rebuilt (by me - gulp) I will link to it. We're a fun group of women, with some amazing abilities.

I've had a problem with my right hand since the beginning of the year, and unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done about it for now. Due to some persistent numbness, it is difficult for me to work with a fine needle, which is what I've worked with for years. So I knit. And last night, at our monthly meeting, I knit socks. I found out that one of our new members is a sock knitter too, even teaches sock knitting techniques. Being bi-craftual is a wonderful thing.

But this year, I've become a joiner. In January, I became part of the Lime N Violet Sock Marathon. You can see what we've been up to here. In January, I joined Socktopia, blogged here, with pictures here. In March, I joined the Nancy Bush Group. This month I joined Stashalong, and Crafting for a Cause. Eek!

So much for not being a joiner. I guess the biggest thing I joined is the blogging community. So far so good.

See you soon!
