This is the glass I drink out of.No, sorry, it's a cup. Really, the Ogre and I had a discussion about this.The cup. All of our cups are the same. I don't want Pig germs. I wanted my own cup, and my own germs.So now I have my own that Says Rogue on the front (although it sort of looks like Bogue in this photo) and Dare*Risk*Dream on the back. One little thing makes me feel so happy and reminds me to dare risk and dream.With this in mind here are a few things that make me happy, and some ... Read Full Story

So what does a girl do for her 6th 29th birthday? Well, when you make up your own rules like I do, people pretty much expect you to do what you want.I started the day husking brains from their shells.You know those hungry zombies, and that clever Pig 1. He's trying to domesticate them as a 4th grade class project.I started my day off with a lovely breakfast withPig 3 will have a real mustache and I'll still be 29Pig 3, Sir-Frogs-A-Lot, White Rabbit, and Other Marty.Then it was off to the Wo...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has again, and again stepped up to the plate and put in extra time and energy and $ to work on the Kidney Kozy project. (Oh, and not to mention every other crazy ass idea that we seem to come up with.) I dropped off 14 Kozies toFRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE2845 CAPITAL AVENUE SW SUITE 104BATTLE CREEK, MI 49014(which was technically Kazoo Knit Crochet’s turf-but Home Grange donated some and that is where they wanted to send some, it’s down the road from the...

I'm on a secret mission.It does NOT involve mittens. I've made 2 pair of mittens lately, all four individual mittens are of their own mind and have decided to be of their own size. In people I respect that, mittens, not so much. My secret mission does not involve spinning fluff into yarn. My secret mission does not involve breaking the hearts of young men, drinking beer or being scantily clad. Are you kidding, I live in Michigan, it could snow at any minute. The Ogre frowns upon those act... Read Full Story

Yesterday, someone asked me if I had a job. I said no.That's because I apparently like being treated like shit for no pay, being criticized when things don't go the way other people think they should, and cleaning up other people's messes.I'M A FULL TIME VOLUNTEER!!!Funny thing is, the more I do it, the more I want to keep doing it. Even with the bad parts, you can't make up for the good. I'm not an adrenaline junkie, I'm a philanthropist junkie. Mother May I Volunteer? It's going to be T... Read Full Story

Ogres do not like warm climates. That's why you find so many zombies in the South, plus there is the whole voodoo thing.This also works well for the zombie slayer knitter and Ogre match up. Cold weather, knitting and Ogres all just seem to make good sense. I have no idea why so many Ogres are drawn to short women. Snotty and Ogre Dr B & Jackie The Ogre and the Amazing Kat!I'm going to say it's the short women looking ahead to the future and wanting to utilize storage ... Read Full Story

I may not cook that well, but the things I do, I kick hienie at. Sadly, one of my great skills is making Rice Krispy Treats. Or in this case "Crisp Rice Treats." Oh, come on. I have tips. I make like 5 batches at a time. Who has that kind of patience? It's a skill, it's an assembly line. Henry Ford would be proud!Look how happy! (I wore that shirt again the next day and found 1 rogue krispy stuck to my sleeve)I never get any flipping marshmallow on my hands but sometimes I get krispies... Read Full Story

Yesterday we went to our local Grocery Store. There was only one other family there with school aged children. They were quiet, orderly and calm. The Pigs and I were wild, disorderly, and, well acting like we normally do.While shouting over the theme music to the movie Halloween, I told the Pigs to bag all the the cold stuff together. A store employee asked if we were doing a home school outing.This was my reply, still in my loud voice:"These are not home school children out on assignment.... Read Full Story

Here's my harshly worded letter:I hate you. Yes, you.You who hack and cough as if your germs don't fly into Spinsanity's face.I hate you who cough into your hands and then touch all over surfaces. What surfaces? The same damn surfaces that other people are going to touch.COUGH INTO YOUR DAMN SHOULDER, OR ELBOW PIT. I don't know what the hell the proper name is for elbow pit, but you know what I mean.Hey, person who takes a piss in a public restroom and then doesn't wash their hands. You... Read Full Story
