What Day Is This?

It is highly likely that, during my summer hiatus, I will periodically forget which day of the week we are enduring. But, today is a good day for those of you who like the random. I am fully aware of the Wednesday-ness of this day and am ready to fire off a few of the bullets that make up the Wednesday Night Bullet Point Posts. Here's the first of the Summer WNBPs:

*I think I have come up with the best strategy for dealing with the yearly mammogram. It sort of hinges on living ten minutes from the mammography place, but you guys are clever. You'll figure out a way to tweak it to your individual situation if need be.

*The best way to get through a mammogram is to forget that you have one scheduled. Then, around 8:00 the night before said mammogram, remember it. Decided to stay up late anyway, because you are on vacation and are bound and determined to stay up late whenever you darned well please. You will do this despite having an 8:00 a.m. appointment. This will lead to some minor oversleeping on the day of the mammogram. You will be forced to go the lab after having thrown on a pair of dirty sweat pants and while still half asleep.

*Half asleep is truly the best way to experience a mammogram. Sure, you are going to find yourself waking up rather abruptly once the machinery starts doing its unholy work and that can be a little disorienting. But overall, sleepwalking is really the way to go on mammogram day.

*For the record, calling it a "Mambly-Grambly" doesn't do anything to make the experience any better despite the rather merry sound of the syllables.

*I think I may be getting the hang of this whole "summer vacation" thing. It is currently 7:00 in the evening and it just occurred to me that I have yet to shower today. And I am still in the unwashed sweat pants.

*Hey, guess what I did last night? I finished the scarf that I am now calling the Wonky Catena Scarf!

See those stupid beads? I literally hurt myself trying to get those on there. Tell me they look amazing. Tell me...tell me now!!!!! TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!

And here we see it in its entirety!

*The fiber came from Wooly Wonka Fibers. The heads-up on the opening of the Wooly Wonka shop came from Cathy, the queen of all things crochet. Hence, there was little debate over how I would work this spindle-spun yarn up! 'Twould be crochet!! And 'twas! Isn't it 'tweet?

*The scarf was also on my list of summer projects. The Index Cards (upon which I comprised this list and who have become almost a living and very judgemental entity in my eyes) were pleased with my having checked off one item having only had two days of vacation under my belt.

*The mammogram was on the list, too so I'm really kicking it on the summer to-do stuff. I think I may be just a little bit scared of the index cards...

*I am worried about me. I went on a rather lengthy rant last year over the Project Runway Season 3 finale and my sense that they were more flagrantly discriminating against the average sort of gal than they normally do. And yet, I spent a good chunk of today watching reruns of Season 2. I think I may be sucked in again...I am beginning to suspect that I may have a bit of a shallow side. Don't tell anyone, 'kay?

*The shelf that I put up yesterday hasn't fallen down yet. I guess Daddy Sheep was right about the whole "finding a stud to nail into thing." In my defense, I didn't know what a stud was for a long time so I wouldn't have been able to find one in the wall to save my soul.

*I thought a stud was something entirely different and would have felt badly hitting one with a hammer.

*I've had a lot of shelves fall down over the years. A lot...

And there you go! I'm finishing up my Wednesday Night Bullet Posts, nursing my sore fingers after shoving 45 pounds of yarn through a wee little bead for an hour and waiting for my squished, mammogramed chestal area to puff back out to its normal size.

And, um...watching Project Runway. Sorry.
