Mormon Crickets....Please don't eat me!!!

Apparently there are Mormon crickets that have taken to eating their fallen comrades....how sad is that?....Makes me so glad that I'm not a MORMON cricket....
Could you imagine if we ate our dead instead of burying them?....I mean, I LOVE movies and books about cannibals....I'm crazy for Chop Top, Leatherface, Hannibal, and who could forget those flesh loving Zombies....Who doesn't love those guys?....but would I want, or be willing, to partake of the forbidden fruit???....Hell no!....I'm not as crazy as my husband thinks I am....So.....Mormon crickets continue their trek across the West munching on their deceased friends along the way and we keep burying our dead....it's the way nature intended, I guess....just imagine how freaked out we would be to see a mormon cricket digging a hole on the side of the road with an itty bitty shovel....then we spot a cricket corpse, wrapped in a death shroud, ready to be interred into the ground....surrounded by crying cricket family members dressed in black holding itty bitty handkerchiefs and bibles....JESUS!!!...where would they get shovels THAT small!?!?....and would there be one of those crazy mourners who would collapse over the body and scream..."WHY JIMINY?!?!?!...OH CRICKET GOD!!!.....WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE JIMINY?!?!?!"....Yeah, that would be freaky....




On a side note...

I finished my purple wrap....

It's super soft and cozy....just the ticket to keep me warm and comfy in Utah....

Where I'll be keeping my eyes out for those Mormons.....crickets that is....

DON'T YOU HATE IT....

....When you can't sleep....my hubby actually over slept this morning (his alarm clock decided to be a rebel today) and in his panic and commotion to get out the door, he woke me up....so here I sit....waiting for the clock to say it's time to wake up my sons for school....I remember the times when I was younger and I would just be rolling in the door at 5 am....and now, here I am in bed by 10:00 every night and anyone who dares to wake me before my alarm goes off at 6 am best duck quick cuz I'm throwing the first thing I can get my hands on....so what did I throw at my hubby this morning, you may ask?....well, I was nice and threw him a cup of coffee as he was running for the door....you see, for the past 15 years, he has sacrificed everything he believed in, and wanted, to serve his country....so I figure a cup of coffee is the least I can do....but he better not make this 'over sleeping and waking me up bullshit' a habit....I can only be so nice....

On a side note, I have a new project to keep me busy....yes....I DO realize I still have a closet full of unfinished projects that I really SHOULD be working on....but this beauty caught my eye and I really DO need it to help keep me warm in Utah....AND....I have decided that life is too short to have just ONE project....so here it is....The Purple Pizzazz Wrap....it's gonna be uber easy in double crochets.....it's gonna be ROCKING cool!!!....

Gotta go wake the kids!

IT'S A MIRACLE!...An Aries finishes a projet!

Can you believe it?...I finally finished one of the projects I have been working on....it's a library book bag....I call it my "Good and Plenty" bag...do you remember that candy?....I use to eat it till I made myself sick on it...I used Hot Topic bags and Mary Kay bags...I bought the Mary Kay bags from a friend who sells the stuff...Good god, man...are those bags hard to crochet with...they are alot thicker and stiffer than grocery bags...My fingers are killing me and I don't think I'll be able to pick up a crochet hook for a month...so, I'm gonna give my fingers a rest and just show ya the bag and be done....
