This is supposed to be Jiji from the Ghibli movie "Kiki's Delivery Service."

Running Man was interesting yesterday.  They changed up the format, now the regulars have to find the guest (or guests).  They use many extras that look similar or have similar costumes (like masquerade masks) to the guest so it makes it difficult.  The guest must find things (usually balls) and when they do, the names of the regulars that are written on it are out.  I like this game but because it's so long some of the other games are not as interesting, they seem short or weirdly thought out.  I still enjoy the show and I actually kind of recognized some guests.  They are the group TVXQ! and I have watched a couple of their videos.  Now I would not have recognized them if it wasn't stated where they were from, I just don't recognize many of the celebrities by sight. (I probably wouldn't recognize many form the U.S. either, I'm just not good with that).  I also realized, in a "duh" moment, that one of the regulars was also in a drama I have watched.  No wonder he looked so familiar.

Today is a WOW day.  I have 4 active toons (characters). Tati is a level 90 arcane mage, Believe is an 85 frost mage, Quina is a level 64 fire mage and Lucyanna is 48 hunter.  Now I do know about dual specialization but I enjoy having all my mages.  My husband is home today so he took Tati to the Timeless Isle and we got her some gear.  I'm probably going to avoid Believe today because she has a quest I don't want to do.  So I'll be working on getting Quina out of Outlands mostly I think.  I really hate that expansion.  I know if you aren't into WOW this made no sense to you and I'm sorry.  Oh I talked to my husband and I made a mistake. He only has 7 90's (the highest level you can go right now) but he had 10 85's so that's where I got the number from. 

I washed the swatches and they didn't shrink but they did pill like crazy.  So now I know when I finish the sweater not to put it in the laundry like that.  I'm going to redo the swatches and be very careful with the stitch count because I think I may have messed it up a bit.  It looks like it might be an inch bigger all around. The spiders are not hard to make but I hadn't made them in so long I had to relearn and it was much slower than I remembered.  I assume that is because I was reading at the same time and you have to pay attention at least a little or you end up with a seven legged spider like I did.  I didn't realize till I tucked in all the ends so I just gave it to my daughter because I was not ripping it out.  The other little  mistake I made was setting a finished one on my keyboard when I got up to make myself lunch.  I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and without thinking I moved the spider when I sat down to watch another piece of an episode.  There are so many peanut allergies I want to be careful.
I set that one aside but I might just put all of them in a lingerie bag and wash them before giving them (they are acrylic).  I may also glue goodly eyes on but I'll decide that later.  I only have 7 made not counting the two mistakes, I thought I would be a lot faster.  Oh I forgot to mention that spiders are crochet and the pattern is free in Ravelry. If I do anything today (I don't get much crafting done on WOW days) I will do the swatches first so I can get the dissertation turned in then I will work on more spiders.  The math for the other yarn is going to have to go on the back burner.

I took a walk today with my husband since he was home.  Because he was with me I when past the German Shepard and my husband was not amused either.  We did see the Boxer in it's back yard so it must just have gotten out the other day.  It is such good dog it was probably there the whole time and I never noticed because it's so quite.  I think I'll try that loop again on Friday. 

I don't know what bus stop etiquette is. Most parents send their children to the bus stop by themselves.  I take my kids mostly because my son is not good socially and is sometimes fearful (my daughter would rather I stay home because she is so big). I'm the mean mom will scold the other children if they are doing something I think is dangerous (throwing rocks, going it the street).  I know boys horse around so unless feet come off the ground I usually let them wrestle and stay out of it.  Today there was a little toy being tossed around in a "keep away" fashion.  I figured as long as they weren't being mean about it everything was ok.  One of the little girls got it and her older brother took it from her saing it was his toy.  They were struggling a bit and she ended up sitting on the ground crying.  I went over and made him give it to me, I gave it back to his little sister and told her to put it away.  The boy was insisting the whole time it was his and I told him to take it up with his mom when he got home from school.  I never know if this is my business or how it should be handled.  I tiny part of me is expecting a visit from the children's mother saying I should not scold her children and mind my own business.  We'll see.

My son has an appointment tomorrow  and  Thursdays I usually drive another mom from the neighborhood around (she doesn't have a license) so tomorrow may be late if I write at all.
