This is Dani Smith

 

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne. I am a writer in Texas. I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies. I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate. I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough. Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas. If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing. Don’t be a stealer. Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Apropos of nothing, I just noticed that a surprising number of these 10 Things posts begin with the letter S.  

    Rock with me.  Name the first 10 Things that come to mind when I stand on the table and yell TOWEL!  Post those in the comments and then read my 10 Things. Goooooooooooo!

    My 10 Things from TOWEL!

    1. DON’T PANIC

    2. The soft green TOWELs given to me by the folks at my last high school job, where I worked as a courier.  Still have them.  They get softer every year. 

    3. The pile of flowery TOWELs my neighbor gave us when she cleaned up the family hunting cabin.  Use them for everything.

    4. The PURPLE TOWEL.  This is my favorite TOWEL of all time.  It’s just so PURPLE.  I think it came from my mother-in-law and it matches nothing, but that makes it even more fabulous.

    5. The Terrible TOWEL of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    6. Throw in the TOWEL, if you’re a quitter.

    7. Moist TOWELettes.  These make me think of cheap barbecue joints, grandma’s purse, and urine specimens. 

    8. Those blue and white, semi-disposable TOWELs.  What are they called?  Jiffy-wipes?  Anyone?

    9.  The little TOWELs that hang from football players so they can wipe the sweat from their hands for improved ball handling.  (Read that one with your mind in the glitter, folks, it’s much more exciting)

    10. Drying a car w/an old TOWEL after a carwash.  That is, if you don’t happen to have a soft, old, cloth diaper lying around to rub the car.  

    What are your TOWEL gems?  Don’t leave me here, crying in my TOWEL wondering.
