Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Ooooooh! That was *fast*. All that and a novel!

I like it - it's very masculine and unfrilly. I like the pattern - did you say you got it online?

[RosieCotton]

I did a lot of staying up too late...considering I’m already a month late!

It’s a very simple pattern...which makes me a bit frustrated with myself for the boo-boos. I got it out of a book: Quick-Stitch Crochet Afghans. But there isn’t a whole lot to the pattern - I can type it up for ya if you want it.

[JenB]

Slaving away over my novel... I removed the one scene that I had left in for word count value and now it’s just time to slog for the end. Bah.

[Lil'freeper]

When I finish up the boucle thingy for Big’ol I may just take you up on that.

[Lil'freeper]

I’m still decorating. I didn’t have enough lights for the tree soooooo.... I took Big’ol out to dinner and Walmart. Was a great date. I came home with spray paint and multi-colored lights. It’s gonna be a fun tree!

[g'nad]

at least you embrace the pansieness...

[g'nad]

right purty blanket... good werk...

[g'nad]

When I finish up the boucle thingy for Big’ol

z'atwatchacallitnow?...

[Lil'freeper]

Boooooooooo-clay

[g'nad]

Ceeeeeeey-booooo!

[Lil'freeper]

Curses!

Now I have a Veggie Tales song in my head: Ce-bu! Cebu-moo moo achoo-moo moo moo-moo moo cebu!

[g'nad]

muh werk here is done...

[RosieCotton]

*sigh*

I gotta find me some other music, too.

Veggie Tales songs are wayyyy too catchy.

[RosieCotton]

Thanks! Should be something the little guy can use even when he’s past the baby stage...

[RosieCotton]

Whatcha doin’ with it? Afghan?

[darkangel82]

Just turn up some AC/DC loud enough and you’ll get it out of your head. Not too loud though, or you’ll get a headache.

[Lil'freeper]

Yup. Afghan. I’m running a double yarn: the boucle plus some plain brown caron. The boucle is just too tough for me to work with otherwise. The benefit is that it’s working up real quick which is good because I’ve owed him an afghan for a decade already.

[Lil'freeper]

Well, Big’ol is playing Paul McCartney and that’s just as bad... but in a different way.

[SuziQ]

That’s a neat pattern!

[SuziQ]

That’s one of the big reasons we’re looking forward to moving back South. 20 years of this cold and snow is about as much as we can stand!
