Time seems to go by so fast. My mom used tell me that the older I got the faster time would go by. My thought was, "Yeah Right," funny how I get to eat those words. They taste better with ranch dressing. Speaking of...Hello MSG.... I like to dip my fries, or other food items in ranch, until I realized it's littered with MSG. I thought they took that stuff off the shelf a long time ago. It's in everything again. Do we really need to preserve food for 50 years? And put that gross stuff in our precious little bodies? No, No, No!!! So have you seen Ranch Dressing without MSG? It's not white, it's a shade of very off white. Interesting.... ?...Stephanie and I decided it would be fun to join the Ravelympics. I can't remember who's bright idea it was first so I'll blame it on Stephanie. Anyway, one thing led to another and before you know it, it was 11ish at night on the last day to register a team. Steph, where are you? Do we have a name? Hello, you out there in Raveland somewhere? No, she's off.... So Team Central Coast it is and the team Captains had to report for duty. Duty? What's that mean? So by 11:30ish I was voted in Team Captain of Team Central Coast. We had 1 member and no projects in site. Steph signed up the next day and she is Co-Captain, Thank God!!! So we now have a group and 17 members and we are gonna kick Ravelympic Booty!!! Move over Rocky Balboa, take Adrian to dinner cause this team's gonna win!!!! I decided that one project just wasn't enough. Does an athlete compete in just one category? Okay, some do but that's not the point. I can't remember what the point was, I'm tired and I think I need some Gatorade or chocolate. During my search for the perfectly easy yet challenging project number 3 I found....TAWASHI!! I just like to say it, Tawashi. Come on say it three times fast. They are scrubbies, sponges. Now you're thinkin' Tawashi sounds good huh? Anyhoo, Fishy Tawashi it is...
3 little fishies scrubbin' my sink, la la la la la, mmmm huh huh la da da work fishies work===. I've not been blessed with a singing voice. I'm also knitting a pair of gloves, I have one finished. That's the easy part for me, it's the second one that's the problem. We'll discuss that another time. For those interested in the crocheted fishy above, the pattern is in Japanese. I did translate it and made a few changes. If you're interested, I'm gonna try to figure out how to make it available to you here on the blog somewhere. Anyone know how to do that? Back to the Ravelympics I go......

Hands down the funniest post I've read today! Not only funny but pretty dang informative too.
I had no idea Ranch is riddled with MSG. I'm a ranch-dipp'n fool. Fries, sammiches, instead of mayo most times. Gah, now I'm gonna go read the labels in my fridge.
Your twin fishies are SO CUTE. That you translated a Japanese pattern blows my mind. Oh, and I had no idea you are Bi-Craftial - you Crochet Queen.
Check the ravelry pattern area to see if there's a tawashi (tawashitawashitawashi - yep, you're right - it is fun to say, lol) pattern available in English.
I'm two rows from being done with my first ever short-row heel and lemme just say that I HATE not being perfect and having difficulty on new things but this has been a good lesson and a learning experience I need.
GO TEAM CENTRAL COAST! April
