This is an amazing, amazing beer. It's called Quelque Chose and according to the friend who gave it to me (thanks, thanks, thanks again!) it's only brewed once every 4 years. It's amazing. Seriously so. They take dark Belgian beer and brown ale and brew it with cherries.
IAnd look, they even have a cocktail recipe for it on the website. But seriously, it doesn't need any extras. Straight over ice. On the deck, while knitting.
So there I was, happily working away on a project, when I noticed a few bees. (let's say a few) Flying into a hole in the wood siding on our house about 2 feet from my favorite spot here. Now, we've had this problem before and I stuck a Vacu Vin thing in that hole, duck taped it in, and fixed the problem. Fixed it till they found a new hole apparently. Little fuckers.
This hole was bigger, and the bees were busy. So, I went downstairs to see what kind of caulk we had on the Man Shelves. We have NO caulk on the Man Shelves! None. And I've been forbidden from doing the Vacu Vin thing again, since we need those for the wine bottles, and they're expensive, and yadda yaddah.
I could have walked over to the hardware store, yes. But that would have cut into my cocktail and knitting time, so I looked around a bit more.
And look what I've got plenty of-- - Play Doh!! Jammed that in there and got back to my Quelque Chose and cardigan combination. Yep, I was pretty proud of myself.
Until I noticed this:

Seriously? The bastards ate right through it! Too bad it's non toxic. Am hoping they at least had bee stomachaches or green goo stuck in their bee teeth and between their little bee toes. I hope it's everywhere in their hidey hole and drives them nuts. Either way, must now add caulk to the beer trip and do this properly. Ugh.
But, just to prove my resourcefulness works out sometimes, see below:
I raided Maya's jewelry making stash as I was completely out of stitch markers. These took about 5 minutes total. I am sure the old markers are around here someplace-- in the sofa cushions, bottom of my purse, under the carseat, etc.
However, I'm also pretty sure it took less time to twist these up than it would have to find the old ones. I picked totally plain beads so Maya will never make the connection, even if she sees the markers. Crafty, huh?
It's a little Mother's Day gift she doesn't even know she gave me.
