Three on Thursday

 Christmas is coming down to the wire.  I know it seems far off, or at least most days it does.  It's actually nineteen days away, if you count today.  But for me, because of my crazy work schedule, I need to have everything completed and ready to go by the fourteenth.  Eight days.  Gosh, I wish I hadn't counted.

But the point is, I have eight days to prepare for Christmas.  And that means, if I'm not frantically clicking the Add to Cart button or blindly tossing things into a real shopping cart like a mad woman, I'm knitting.  And what have I been watching while I knit?

1.  Ozark.  My goodness!  Have you watched this show?  I'm completely obsessed!  It's so good,  I'm choosing to binge watch it instead of Hallmark Christmas movies.  I cringe over the characters' behavior while immediately clicking Next Episode.  It's also got some great music tossed into the mix.

2.  Christine.  Netflix has just added the movie adaptation of Stephen King's Christine.  I ended up watching it twice because I missed important parts the first go round due to cables and beads.  Christmas knitting would have gone a Lot faster if I'd left out the beads!

My Christmas cactus is covered in buds that are getting ready to open and bloom.

3.  My Christmas cactus.  I swear, I can see the buds growing!  And I'm so excited to see it actually bloom.  Well, I'm excited to see multiple blooms on it.   Last year was the first year it bloomed and it only had one bud.  This year, it's covered in buds.  I can't wait for them to open!

Join me over at Carole's for Three on Thursday.

  1. Just wondering--is Ozark violent? Good luck on your preparations!

    1. It definitely has some violent moments. There's a drug cartel & the mafia so there's lots of gun pointing. Most of the bloody violence comes quickly & unexpectedly and is over in a heart beat. While the show does have blood & guts & gore, it's not just about the blood & gore.

  2. Good luck with the Christmas knitting. I guess I'm in a bit of date denial. Oh boy, I gotta get my act together.

  3. Knit on, my friend! :-) And your Christmas cactus will be glorious! (Mine - both of them - bloomed at Thanksgiving this year.)
