The friday five

1. What was the last TV show you watched?
I watched ER last night. It's a soap opera, and I have to keep finding out what happens next (even though I gave up daytime soaps a long time ago, the prime time ones keep getting me). I guess it can be nice to see other people whose lives are so much worse than mine, even if they aren't real. No, my life really isn't all that bad but I have to remind myself of that sometimes.

2. What was the last thing you complained about?
The kids left their breakfast dishes unwashes all over the kitchen table.

3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
Well, I think I complimented Ashley and Carol on studying their biology vocabulary words this week. They seem to have them down pretty well. (I at least was thinking that, but can't remember if I said it - I asked them and they think I might have.) Mark's dad used to teach junior high school science, and has started a class for Ashley and Carol and their cousins who also homeschool. The kids are different ages, and Carol, who would be in third grade in school but is doing fourth grade work this year, has to work pretty hard to keep up with the older kids. The material doesn't seem to be scaled down much to accomodate her.

4. What was the last thing you threw away?
I just did a 27-fling boogie in my bedroom and threw away a big bag full of candy wrappers.

5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
I was just visiting Cat's Fiber Adventures when I remembered that it was Friday and decided to see if I wanted to answer the Friday Five today. I'm amazed how much knit bloggers tend to think alike. She has a to-do list posted too. And I was also bad and bought yarn for two new projects - Cat, I was worse than you. I resisted the sock yarn only to give in to yarn for two sweaters. I guess I regularly spin enough yarn that matches to make socks, but haven't made as many sweaters lately, since I never have that much yarn of one type spun, but since finishing the green sweater (it's blocking now and should be assembled tonight) I want to knit more sweaters, and rather than doing something with my stash of wool that needs to be processed, I just ordered yarn already made. And I even have half of the green yarn left over as well as a bag of yellow yarn that equals the green before I started with it, so my stash just continues to grow. I will be posting about the sweaters I want to knit next soon. They are from Viking Patterns for Knitting - Ragna and Vigdis.
