Spotted in the "Ask Marilyn" Column...
of Parade, Sunday, July 2nd:
"What number comes next in this sequence: 19, 15, 18, 18, 17, 18, 19, 16, 20, 19? Hint: After 720 numbers, the sequence repeats."
This one stumped the hell out of me this morning, til I gave up and finally read the answer. Then I went "WTF? I would *never* have gotten that!" I'll leave a comment with the answer in case you come to the same conclusion. :)
Anywho - things are great here in Natalie's world. The new job is - amazing? I seriously can't talk about it without bragging, it's that great. I get to spend thousands and thousands of other peoples' dollars - what could be better? Really, everyone is so friendly and the job itself seems to be really be clicking; I feel like it's a great fit and the feedback I'm getting tells me that the company does, too. It's looking really positive!
I've taken a break from hooking for awhile. The Crotchetville drama came during a slump, and the whole combination of situations left me turned off to crocheting for awhile. I haven't been back to the 'Ville in months now, and it feels good. Instead of trying to keep pushing crochet on myself, I gave up and started knitting. I'm surprised at how basically painless it was to learn; although I apparently taught myself combination knitting, which will make increasing and decreasing a little tricky. I'll worry about that when I come to it, though; I've whipped up a few dishcloths and am now working on making myself a panta - easy peasy!
Anywho, gotta go - the mask I have on my face has dried and I'm feeling a little stretched out. Time to shower!
Enjoy your holiday, all! [I know I will - I don't have to be back at work til Wednesday! Woo-hoo!]

"Answer: The numbers represent the lit segments on a seven-segment digital clock starting with 12:00, which has 19 lit segments. The last number in the sequence is 14, which represents 11:59."
Whoda thunkit?
I've been getting a bit more out of knitting lately too. Maybe it's the thrill of accomplishing something new, doing well at something I thought I'd suck at forever, who knows. I just find it's more satisfying right now. And knitting socks doesn't make me sweat lol ;)
Nice to see you blogging again, Natalie. I solved that puzzle before I got to the end of your post...JK...LOL...I'll save that one for someone I really want to shut up for a while! Glad you are getting those needles working for you.
I still don't get it with the answer, lol.
