Decide my life!

[meshaliuknits]

Parts of it, anyway. This stuff has been on my mind today and I've reached no conclusions.


-I knit a bright blue top hat. I want to add feathers and/or netting to make it into a little facsinator. Do I use blue or black feathers/netting? Or some other awesome color?

-How do I talk H into letting me adopt a naked cat?

-How do I get better at math? I've spent the day doing tons of addition and percentages and it took me much longer than I think it should. Is there a way to improve short of going back in time to 4th grade me and telling her to quit being so damned lazy?


-Should I bother learning to drive/getting a license? Or has my shot at being decent at that sailed with math?

-Should I have a second child and risk being outnumbered by gingers?

If you don't have a second child you will make copz cry. Big red tears.

I am an accountant and hate math.

You'll probably get a cute little butterscotch baby. Not that gingers aren't cute but yeah. lol

I'd have to see the blue.

Fuck math.

Naked cats smell like ass.

My mom didn't learn to drive until I was like 7 so you've got a shot.

Same blue I used here: meshaliu.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/cozy-coffee/


The naked cat at the book store smells like suede. And he's sweet. I think I want him.

No naked cat. They are creepy.

I think a green or purple details on your hat.

Get some math games--I'm sure they have tons for phones. Just practice.

No more kids. One sounds ideal to me.

Peacock feathers

[meshaliuknits]

Oooh, I like the peacock feathers! Good call!

So I really am the only person who likes naked cats? Poor little naked cats. All they need is some love. And a sweater.

[Deleted]

I like them but I read/saw somewhere that they smell and need baths often. I cannot remember where I heard this though. Something about wrinkles and sweatglands.

[thejackpot]

I like the peacock or a cobalt blue.

Have another baby or two. I like large families.

Learn to drive. It is a skill that no one really regrets having and it is not too late.

Math stinks. I avoid it like the plague.

Cats stink more than math and naked ones are creepy, so no cat

[Deleted]

For the math, get a GRE test prep book. No lie, it has all of that everyday math you need with shortcuts and explanations.

Hairless cats look really goofy and cute...and cold. I know a couple who named theirs Butterball.

I don't make anything that's inedible (except for my kid), so no help there.

Go for the second kid!

ETA: Learn to drive. Necessary skill. I hate driving and I even say so.

Has your husband met the naked cat at the book store? Because I hear they are sweet. Or, just take him to a shelter or rescue where there's a naked cat and convince him to let you take it home.

You can never have too many gingers.

My mom learned how to drive at age 24 and is really bad. I'm convinced this is something like language and writing - you have to learn when you're young. BUT my great-grandmother got her license in her 60s. No idea how good she was, but apparently good enough to pass the test.

Naked cats are creepy. Learn to drive, it's so weird you live in CA and don't drive

[JLN]

I love love naked cats and I've been begging DH to let me get one for years. An old friend of mine breeds them and so I get to see cute kitten pictures on FB.

You can learn math! I love it, so I'm probably no help. But maybe you can take a math class at a community college?

I think black feathers would look cool.

Have a 2nd child. Who doesn't love more gingers?

So really you just want a naked cat so you can knit for it.

Always more babies. They entertain each other (eventually) and let you off the hook.

[basilosaurus]

Naked cats are ugly. Also, they're cats, and I'm not fond of cats.

Learn to drive so you can stop mooching off other people, you damn California liberal. Bootstraps! It's not too late. I knew a guy who was 50 when he learned b/c he'd grown up in Tokyo but moved to rural Japan.

I don't understand how people get to 2 babies without a long period of time in between for the necessary amnesia, so I'm no help.

Is this crazy hat for a costume? If not, why would you use feathers?

[meshaliuknits]

I do kind of want a naked cat to knit sweaters for. H hasn't seen the bookshop cat. He refuses.

When I was 16 we didn't have a car or money for the requisite classes, so I didn't learn. Then I moved to Berkeley where I still had no money, no car & no place to put one if I had. I've gotten used to Bart & busses. I have a friend from the OC in a similar spot, except she never plans to learn. Im pretty sure its going to be something I suck at. You should see me play Mario Kart.

The hat is for nothing in particular. I just want to see if I can make it. Like half the stuff I do. And I'm really fond of that blue yarn. It's totally getting smelly peacock feathers.

I prefer giant fuzzy cats, so I am no help for you there.

If you want to improve at math, maybe get a homeschool text and start re-teaching yourself? Couldn't hurt.

Have more babies. Gingers are being bred out of the human race.

[Deleted]

Definitely learn to drive.

[ringstrue]

Ditto the purples and dark blues for the hat.

Do you take DD to daycare via the bus? Does your DH drive? Yes, you should learn.

Have another baby after you learn to drive.

Get the cat after 2nd baby is walking.

[meshaliuknits]

We walk to daycare. It's only a few blocks away. H does drive, but as infrequently as possible. We walk & Bart a lot.
