Crochet and Funny Kitties

I apologize for my absence lately. Hell, I haven't been around at all. If you were my spouse you would threaten divorce by now. Well, I have a good excuse. Umm, I am busy. My kids, those life sucking creatures that live with me that I love dearly, have been keeping me on my toes. And when they are not I have taken up crocheting. Yes, that great folk art form used to make great scarves, beanies and the infamous afghan blanket. When I finish a project worth showing I will post it. But so far I have been making little blankets for my daughter's stuffed animals to practice my stitches. And you know, crocheting can be green. I heard that people go to thrift stores and pick up blankets, unravel them and then rework the yarn into a new project.

I am still pursuing photography, it's just that the weather has been too gloomy to go out and practice my photo taking.

I did, however, have time to sit with my kids and watch some really funny cat videos that had us laughing Friday night. If you need a simple laugh just watch these:

Modern Day Noah

My friend, Cindy, sent this link to be this morning. It is funny. You don't need to be religious to read it just have a sense of humor.

Be Green.

Nasty Minds at Greenpeace

Green & Clean Thinks I'm Keen

If you could have seen me this morning I was doing a little dance to celebrate making Green and Clean Mom's Top 100 list. I am #8!!! She likes me. And it feels so good. It makes me feels that my blog is doing it's job: a way for me to communicate my green journey to readers and make green bloggy friends along the way. Thank you G&C! You can see the post here. And here.

And here.

Ane here too.

Be Green (and Clean)

Carl Pope Discusses the Sexuality of Our Nat'l Parks

Carl Pope is the executive director of the Sierra Club, which has recently been under attack for partnering with Clorox (also here) for their Green Works line of cleaners. On July 21, 2008 he was a guest on the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. If you are not familiar with the Colbert Report, the show spoofs Republicans. It can be quite funny at times.
In the interview Stephen Colbert asks hard-hitting questions like "Are you in with the pocket of big caribou"and "have you gone all the way with a tree". They also discuss which parks are straight, bi or gay.
The clip is 7 minutes long but really funny. Enjoy.


If you have trouble viewing the above video it can also be seen here.

Saddle Me Up and Give Me a Feedbag

New Wearable Feedbags Let Americans Eat More, Move Less

I saw this over at Greenpa's blog. Funny.

Ingenious Home Remedies

My friend sent these to me and, quite frankly, they make sense to me.

• Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables for you while you chop.
• Avoid arguments with females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
• A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
• If you have a bad cough, take a large doze of laxatives. You'll be afraid to cough.
• If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
• Final thought: Some people are like slinkies-not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Funny Video

(I really need to get my butt off this chair and do laundry or something productive. But I need to catch up on all my favorite blogs first.)

I was at Green and Clean Mom and she diverted me to DesignHER Momma who had the FUNNIEST video. I hope I never become this dad, poor Atticus, but I do catch myself thinking this way.

Now wasn't that much better than my dry post on CFL's?
