Cheese Induced Rant

Is it possible to have a cheese based chemical dependency? I think I'm allergic to dairy and I feel like I've lost my best friend. I miss you sweet, sweet cheese!

About the March Christmas Sweater. It is absorbing knitted rows without actually growing in length. I measured before the last repeat and had a length of 12". After the repeat also measured 12". If I stretch it, it goes to about 15". Should I assume the stretched length or the unstretched when starting shoulder shaping? What is a cheese deprived woman to do?

Tomorrow I have a meeting with my Thesis Advisor and our Collaborator. The Collaborator supplies me with the material I study. Please for the love of god let me be seen and not heard. I do not under any circumstances want to open my mouth and have my typical wise ass comments come out. I will vow to try to be seen and not heard because I'd like to have stuff to study.

One thing I like better about California Driving
Merging. Back East, pre-merging involves oaths about Mothers, Pigs, or Dogs. People who actually make a successful merge are often sworn at using Unholy Epithets concerning Goats.

California drivers observe the zipper method of merge. One car from each side. And you know it prevents grid lock and gets you to your destination faster?!

I believe in balance so I have to mention here something I don't like about driving in the Golden State. And that something would be left hand lane right turning. In other words, turning right on red (from the left lane) when there are 2 allocated right turn lanes. This typically only happens when I am moments away from turning right and a big honkin', gas guzzling, cell phone talking, Big Hairdo wearing SUV driving fool blocks my line of sight and prevents me from making my right hand turn.

While I'm at it let me address cell phone usage at the gym. Just say no. I need to work up one of those picture t-shirts with the "no" symbol, the universal circle with the slash? And inside the "no" symbol will be a picture of a chowder head on gym equipment yapping away on their cell phone. On the back of the shirt will be a picture of me jamming the phone in any available orifice of said offender. Just say NO to cell phone usage at the gym! And big honkin', right on red in the left lane turning, cell phone talking, SUV jerks too!

*No gym going, cell phone talking, SUV driving, right hand on red turning California-ites were harmed during the writing of this entry*

**If you are a gym going, cell phone talking, SUV driving, right hand on red turning California-ite this post has been written with a generous dose of sarcasm and is not meant to as a personal insult**
