My second blogiversary was November 22. It’s very hard to believe I’ve been at this for two years – especially when I look back at those first painful posts. I continue to be amazed by the myriad ways blogging has enriched my life; when I started blogging, it never occurred to me that the impacts of blogging would extend beyond the blogosphere into “reality.” Many thanks to all of you who read Stumbling Over Chaos and who have become such an integral part of my life.
To celebrate all of that, leave me a comment telling me what your superpower would be if you suddenly had one. Your superpower can be grandiose or mundane, simple or complicated, subject to change or immutable. To play, leave your superpower comments on this post by Tuesday, December 4, 6 pm CST. Somewhere between one and three winners will be chosen by random number – knitterly persons will receive knitterly prizes and non-knitterly persons will receive… non-knitterly prizes. 
Over the weekend, while walking around Lake of the Isles, I decided that my superpower would be to have an invisible bubble surrounding me. Within that bubble, I would be able to control the weather. Think how fabulous that would be! I wouldn’t need to be alternately frozen and sweltering walking around Lake of the Isles at this time of year. I could go biking in shorts and a tank top in January! Humidity control. Permanent umbrella. Windbreak. Ahhhh…
“Do you like my superhero look? My superpower would totally be to open the closet and get the MGWT out.” -Mayhem
P.S. Comcast folks – I am unable to reply to your comments because of some sort of spam blocking… Sorry!
Hey, you stole my super power!
Congrats on two great blogging years.
I already have my superpower! Bwahahahahahhaa! I’m a MOM. I have eyes in the back of my head!
Just ask my kids.
Wow, 2 years? Excellent!
If I could have a superpower, I would be able to turn into a cat so I could sleep all day and not feel the least bit guilty! That and the ability to knit at the speed of light, especially this time of year with all the Christmas knitting.
Hmmm…I think I’d like my superpower to be the ability to read instructions and understand them immediately and remember them and carry them out.
With my luck though, my superpower would probably be something thrilling like the ability to always know what time it was.
I’ve always wanted x-ray vision to be my super power. Happy Blogiversary!
May looks so tiny in her cape today.
Hmmm, my superpower would be to control the calories I burn! Ha – I would burn every calorie I eat, no matter how much I eat!
From childhood I’ve always wanted my superpower to be invisible.
Two years! Thank you for you, Chris.
I’d love to have a superpower like being able to travel instantly from one place to the next. No more traveling on planes for long hours!
Happy Blogiversary! And I would say that I would like my superpower to be the ability to turn invisible. As in, you can’t see me, therefore I can’t hear you.
I meant to say! : “Happy blogiversary!” Thank you for all you blogging!
And by YOU and I don’t mean YOU – I mean other people.
Sorry, me again: “Thank you for all you*r blogging” is what I meant to say!
I’m a faithful reader of your blog, but I think this may be the first time I’ve left a comment…so Happy Blogiversary! If I could have one superpower it would be to control time…then I’d have time to knit and do laundry, cook, clean house and still have time left to spare. : )
happy bloganniversary Chris!
thank YOU for all the fun, lovely things you bring into our lives.
superpower… hmm… I guess flying.
Happy Blogiversary!
My superpower… Well, if you watch the TV show Heroes, there’s a character that can watch anything another person does, or something on TV and instantly be able to do it. That would be cool. I could watch someone do some fancy knitting, and instantly know the technique!
Congrats on two years! Reading your blog brightens my day. My superpower? Reading at the speed of light (and retaining it all).
Happy 2! My super power – to have perfect hair days all the time!
I’m sure many people would say this, but my superpower would be to control time — add more when I need it, and skip past the boring parts (like 9:00 am to 5:00 pm)
Happy second Blogiversary!
Hmm, a superpower? To have as many of me as I need to accomplish all I need and want to do
I just said yesterday to a bunch of friends that I wish I had the superpower to magically have my knitting projects sewn up and ends woven in with the snap of my fingers. Yes, it’s a bit mundane when you think about all of the bigger and better things that superpowers could do…but knitters get it. That would be an AWESOME superpower. Happy 2nd Blogiversary!!
I want a magic pair of scissors so I can cut parts of the world out of the way to bring things closer to me. Apologies in advance to the states Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Wash DC, N. Carolina, and S. Carolina – you have to go, I’m pulling Georgia closer to me so I can see my kids more often. How about I get some magic glue and stick you guys to Hawaii? That would be nice right?
Congrats on the anniversary! I just started a yarn blog and I am realizing how much work it is! I really enjoy reading yours. Thanks for the time you put into it.
If I could have a superpower, I would choose the ability to prevent someone from telling lies. There is so much good that could be done in this world if truth and integrity could be restored, especially in our world leaders.
Congrats on making it 2 years and on all the success! I think I would pick flying as my superpower, I could jump without a parachute, always wanted to do that. And being able to travel anywhere I want whenever I want, nice.
Happy Blogiversary! Ever since I was little I always wanted to fly, so that would be my superpower.
My superpower would be to fly! I’d fly all over the world and visit the people I like.
I’d love to have the super-ability to instantly transport myself places. Not only would traveling be AWESOME, I could live anywhere in the world and have a 2-3 second commute to anywhere else. SWEET.
Happy blogiversary!!!!!! Hmm…super power huh?…I think that I’d like to fly…but the again x-ray vision could be funny! Nah, I like the flying bit more though!!!
I have some mutant powers already, but they aren’t terribly impressive. (I have the mutant power of not having any wisdom teeth.) I’d wish for the power of POOF-ing into a distant place instantly. Happy Blogversary!
Yep, I gotta chime in with controlling time. And space, too, Hiro Nakamura-style. I would totally abuse the power tho, lol. Need more knitting time? BAM. Want to visit that yarn store everyone loves that’s an hour away? BAM. Awesome.
Happy Blogiversary!!!!
Oh…only ONE Superpower??? RATS!!
I guess if it could be only one it would be all the knitting knowledge in the world…I H.A.T.E. being limited!!
Happy Blogiversary (from me, hank, and phoebe!).
I’m only a little embarrassed to admit that i’m stealing my super-power-of-choice from the boy, who didn’t even hesitate when I asked him (it’s the best super power I can think of):
If I were a superhero, my super power would be the ability to purr. Think about how awesome that would be! Think about how much good I could do the world!
I’d be able to read minds. Anyone’s mind at any time I liked.
My knitting power would be to know all there is to knitting and be able to put those skills to use to be a famous, well-paid knitting designer by day and save the world through knitting by night.
I would be able to get everyone to do my bidding the first time I ask. Now THAT’s a superpower!
Happy Blogiversary!
I’d like to be able to turn on the TV and watch any event in history I wanted (with subtitles in English, of course).
Chris- Happy blogiversary kid- it’s always fun over at your place.
It’s a little known fact that I already possess SuperPowers- my kids think I have eyes in the back of my head, and I can scare the crap out of them with my death stare.
I don’t even need to say a word!
My superpower would be to fly. I think it would incredible to soar with the birds and above the clouds. I’d even wear a handknit sweater to stay warm. Happy blogiversary.
Happy blogging anniversary!
My superpower would be – the ability to understand and respond in any language I hear spoken – like an automatic mental Esperanto!
Wow. What a tough question. I guess my superpower would have to be that I could suddenly bring peace to grieving hearts.
Mayhem — LOVE the look.
My superpower is so easy. I would be able to fly. I have always thought that would be sooooo cool.
If it wasn’t flight, it would be the ability to instantly transport myself somewhere because I’m always running late.
I would love to be able to fly that way I wouldn’t have to deal with the crowded buses, trains, etc, of public transportation. Plus, I would get to my destination really, really fast!!!
Oh! I forgot. I’m beyond glad that you started blogging. Happy Anniversary.
My superpower would have to be magic. I think it probably encompasses everything else!
Happy Blogiversary! I don’t want to ever think of starting my day without my dose of SOC! (and M, too!)
lol
(((hugs)))
Happy blogiversary to you! Going through the special abilities on Heroes, I think I’d love Hiro’s ability to stop time and travel through time. That would be so cool — You could pause time and knit like mad on something and then start it again, and come out with all your Christmas knitting done!
Definitely some sort of mental superpower, like extreme empathy or ESP. Mayhem’s already got a superpower: ultimate cuteness!!
Happy 2nd blogiversary!!
Flying would be awesome–environmentally friendly and calorie-burning. My first thought was traveling back in time for a kind of historical revisionism, except I thin it would be bad for the psyche. Perhaps just slowing down time at will, so I could think before I spoke? And also have really long vacations…
Happy Blogiversary! Hmm, I think I’d like to be able to teleport myself and anyone who’s hold my hand anywhere in the world (luggage included, of course) so that I could avoid all the icky aspects of our transportation system!
Happy Blogiversary! : )
My superpower would be amazing, super vision. Think Bionic Woman, only not bionic. : )
Happy Blogiversary! The superpower I would like to have would be the ability to control other people’s actions. I’d have my kids cooking and cleaning while letting my hubby sit more and relax. I’d also have my daughter and son in law move closer so I could spoil my grandkids several times a week. lol
Yay! Congrats on two years – always such fun to read your blog. Superpowers…well, I think that mine would be to be able to do all the things that I think of doing – so many good ideas, so little time. Maybe that is just the ‘time’ superpower that so many others seem to want too!
Congratulations! I passed my 2nd year sometime in October, but failed to remember it at the time. I’d love the power of healing people. I’d start with my M.S. (obviously)and then take care of a dear friend who was just diagnosed with cancer. Wait a minute. Didn’t Stephen King write about that in the Green Mile? Well, I guess “talking” with animals would be my next superpower wish. Hey, that was Dr. Doolittle. Crud, I can’t think of any orginal superpowers. I’m going somewhere to sulk.
My hat’s off to Sachi for choosing such a generous and caring superpower. Me, um, not so much. I would like the power to push pause on the VCR of life– freeze everyone/everything except anyone else I tapped. Nothing we did in this time would count–eating cookies, etc.
Wow, time flies when you’re having fun, eh?
I think I’d like to be a shapeshifter with the ability to become anything else, animal, vegetable, or mineral, at will. Think of all the practical jokes! The eavesdropping!
I already have a superpower. I am a clairvoyeur. That means that I have the power to look into people’s houses at night so as to see how people decorate their rooms.
Okay, it isn’t a super power because just about anybody can do it (open windows) – but I was the one to give it a name and that’s super, isn’t it?
I’d like to be able to think of somewhere and be instantly transported there
I’d want the ability to generate a field of invisibility around myself, to include another person if I so desired, and to still be able to see despite being invisible.
Happy blogiversary!
Happy Blog-o-versary!
Ever since I was little, I’ve had dreams about being able to breath underwater. I still think that’d be pretty cool.
breathe, i mean
sheesh
Happy Blogiversary!
Hmmm super power. Invisibility including my camera. I’d love to travel to warn torn countries or places where being visible means you don’t get to see the truth. Think fly on wall…….but not a fly and equipped with a camera.
Great idea for a comp BTW
Oooh, great super power, only my bubble would have snow in it most of the time.
Hmmm, my pregnancy super power would be the ability to go unaided by a nap from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. Otherwise, it’d be purdy durn cool to be able to fly.
It was two years (give or take a couple of months) for me back in August. I can’t believe I haven’t run out of things to say yet.
My superpower would be the ability to heal. Too many people suffer needlessly.
Happy Blogiversary!
It’s so hard to pick just ONE superpower, so my first choice would be the power to change my superpower whenever I want—the ultimate superpower!
I’d love the power to travel without flying on a commercial airliner—sort of like that snap thing Samantha did on Bewitched when she wanted to go someplace else fast! I’d also love to be invisible whenever I wanted so I could be the proverbial “fly on the wall” for some conversations or events! (yes, I’m nosey…)
Happy 2nd Blogiversary!!
My super power would be to twitch my nose, a la Samamtha, and have ALL the shed cat hair disappear from my house, clothes and car. With 3 cats, I think that would be an awesome power! :^)
Happy blogiversary! My superpower would be the ability to teleport people to see family when distance and time would otherwise prevent it. (Er, or make chocolate calorie free.)
Ok, seeing the title and then the photo made me gak-laugh so hard that I’m choking and red-faced now! HAPPY BLOG0O0VERSARY!
I’d be Plant Man – able to bring dead plants back to life…
(I’m having a similar problem with responding to AOL people because *I* spam?)
Happy Blog-Anniversary! I’m afraid of heights.. so the flying thing would definitely be out for me.. I think I’d like the power to walk in and out of time (sort of like Quantum Leap) and change things at will. Besides.. “Time Lord Mousie” has a nice ring to it..
Happy blogiversary!
I’m not sure what super power I’d want. For selfish reasons, the ability to teleport, would be lovely. But super powers are supposed to be bigger than oneself, right? Hmmm… I’ll have to consider that more thoroughly and let you know.
My superpower would be finishing. Knitting finishing, that is. I could just look at a project, and seams would be perfectly sewn up (instead of looking like arse), ends would be woven in and clipped, every thing would be “just so”, and perfectly blocked.
Happy blogversary! Mayhem is clearing rockin’ her superpower.
Mine would be to be able to knit at the speed of light either in the dark or while reading absolutely anything, whether it be chick lit or nuclear physics. And without making mistakes.
Or maybe I would be able to persuade various world leaders that they don’t really need that oil/territory/other resources/human rights that they think they really, really need to steal from some other country and/or indigenous group. Yeah, that would be better.
Can I have two?
I already have a superpower! really!
I can interpert directions- give me anything from Ikea to Japanese robot models and I can figure them out and put it together. strange but handy!
happy happy blogiversary
You’ve only been around for 2 years?! I don’t know why it seems like longer, but I can promise you it’s a good thing:) Happy blogiversary! If I had a superpower I’d want to have telekenesis. I’m lazy and I’d like to be able to just have things come to me;)
I already have a superpower! I have the uncanny ability to never get picked by random number generators. go ahead. Randomize away. My power will stand in your way.
Is this like your blog version of Who Wants to be a Superhero?
Hmmm, superpowers…It may not sound super, but if I could go without sleep, oh, what I could accomplish…
I am usually just a lurker so I can check out what books you are reading but I would be No Calorie Girl. I would want to be able to eat whatever I want and not feel guilty. Although I would also like to be super fast so I could get all my other work done so I would have more time to knit.
Me? Superpowers??
I’m torn – there’s this knitting thing I’d like a little more power over and then this teenage child thing I’d like some power over…… I don’t suppose there’s some way to combine them into one Super Mom who Knits quickly & awesomely while totally managing the teens masterfully?
Happy blogiversarry!
If I could have a super power It would have to be the power to be in two places at once, then one half of e could be at work earning the money while the other half could be happily knitting and spinning at home 
TIME TRAVEL!!! I so want to see how things REALlY happened and how places looked. It would be pretty cool to chat up Marie Antonette and shoot Hitler. heh.
Have another wonderful year blogging!
i wish i had the power to speed up and slow down time – it would make for quick work days and lots of free knitting time!
yay for your 2nd anniversaire!!!
My superpower would be to have multiple sets of arms, I don’t get alot of time to knit but when I do, if I had multiple arms, think of the projects I could churn out
hummm wait a minute I guess having multiple arms isn’t really a super power huh, well how about being able to whip out extra arms on command.
I am a desried flyer… Think about how much it would cut down on my carbon foot print. I have never grown out of the flying dreams…. Hmmm now to work out the aspects of my own flight path.
When Sarah R and Danielle get their superpowers, they’re my new best friends. In the meantime I’ll be cosying up to Colleen….
Happy Blogiversary! My superpower would be the ability to understand all I can hear. (I’d say all languages, but sometimes it’s couple/long time friendspeak).
Mayhem: A dashing superhero.
As you know, I have a fondness for the Wonder Twins (though only if I can be the one who changes into different animals–none of that “form of [something made of water]” business for me!).
If I could choose any superpower, though, I think I would opt not to need sleep. Oh, I love sleeping–there’s something so delicious about that moment when you’re snug under the covers and just about to fall into sleep.
But sleeping takes up a lot of time–just think what I could do with all of those extra hours! I could finish all my UFO knitting projects! I could complete my dissertation (yeah, right)! I could read all the books on my to-read list! I could actually get some exercise!
D’oh!
I almost forgot to congratulate you and your blog on your second anniversary together. Hooray!
Hmmm, I always believed my superpower IS being able to stop cars at pedestrian crossings in inner Copenhagen just by looking at them (silent communicating that I WILL cross!)… not an easy task
As a kid, I always dived for a long time in the pool and wished for being a mermaid or at least being able to breathe underwater…
Congratulations on your blog-anniversary, I’ll keep reading, if you’ll keep posting!
Congratulations on your blogging anniversary! My super power would be the ability to heal and I would start with my youngest sister who was just diagnosed with breast cancer.
I’ve spent much time and thought on this one – and I maintain that my superpower is the ability to perform household tasks by identifying them. “The washing up needs doing – ooh look, it’s done…”
Happy Blogoversary!!
My superpower would be to have total control of time. I would like to slow it down or speed it up at will, but still move at the same pace myself.
Congrats on the blogiversary. They do sneak up on you don’t they? Hmmm…. if I had a superpower I’d want it to be the ability to keep my house clean without lifting a finger. Everything just magically was put back where it belongs (of course, I’d then have to decide where things should belong but that is another story) and all dust/spills/whatever mess there was would disappear every night at midnight.
Happy Blogiversary! The weather bubble superpower is a great idea. I think mine would be teleporting. I would love to be able to get wherever I’m going *immediately*. Think of the knitting time I’d gain!
Happy anniversary!! And, super-power? Teleporting, no question. Then Chappy and I come visiting withOUT my needing to clean my car afterwards!
Happy Blogiversary Chris!
I let Mark choose his superpower this year, as I did it last year
He said he would like to enhance the power he already seems to have to sow chaos around him, because in that way he could do the most good for the world…. Hmm.. I don’t think he had your Chaos in mind though when he said that 
My superpower would be the ability to talk to cats. Think of how much hassle it woudl save if I *knew* what it was that they wanted. Then again, I might just discover that all they’d been saying all this time was “more tuna, mom!”
Happy Blogiversary! I’ll have to think about what superpower I want and get back to you.
Happy blogiversary, Chris! Time flies, doesn’t it? I’ll tell you about the superpower I already have: the ability to find decent yarn at thrift stores! (I just won’t tell you about all the times I go thrifting and find nothing whatsoever…)
I’d love to be able to teleport, but if I suddenly gained a superpower RIGHT NOW it might be the ability to always finish homework before the deadline… I really shouldn’t be here when I have an essay breathing down my neck, but we all need to take little breaks sometimes, right?
Judging by the above, I already have the superpower of rationalization.
Happy blogiversary!
My superpower would definitely have something to do with time shifting. If I could go back in time, I could win the lottery. If I could stop time, I could finish getting dressed before the dinner party guests arrive. Both would be awesome.
Happy Blogiversary
Superpower… hmmm.
Maybe to stop time so I can do my own thing sometimes without seeming unavailable to my family.
Happy Blogiversary. If I had a super power…hmmm…X-Ray vision! I would love to see all of Dave’s asses for what they really are….
Happy Blogiversary!!
I was in a friend’s comic book in high school and as I recall, my superpower was the ability to stop time. I was going to say but I’d change that to invisibility but can you imagine how much knitting one could accomplish if you could stop time!
Happy Blogiversary! My superpower would be to seam sweaters with a single glance! Or just knit everything in the round. But seaming would be better!
Happy Blogversary! I do enjoy your blog and the pictures of Mayhem and Chaos make my day. Thanks! I love the picture of Mayhem today – now my cats want a cape too. Hmmm….superpowers…I think I’d like to be able to teleport myself anywhere in the world. It would be great for commuting and for visiting friends and LYS’s all over the world!
Well, hte superpower I HAVE is the ablility to hurt myself with common household items in ways no-one else can. Like the time I cut my foot on an unopened can of soda.
If I could CHOOSE my superpower.. I think I’d want superhearing. After all, right now I wear 2 hearing aids, so I would like to know what I am missing!
Happy blogiversary! I always enjoy your posts, and your adorable kitties – thanks for sharing!
I always have a really hard time choosing a superpower. I guess I’m worried that committing to one means missing out on all the others. Not that any of them are likely to develop.
There are some really great ideas above me. I think today I would choose the power to create multiples of myself, though. One could work, one could clean, and I could knit. And watch tv. Ooh! And one could drive me places! I’m liking this idea…
Happy Blogaversary!
My superpower: to be invisible!
I’d like my superpower to be teleportation. I decided that long ago – I’m always longing to be able to get places and back quickly regardless of distance. It would be so useful!
Happy blogiversary!
congrats on your two years!!
I think I would want the superpower of making people feel comfortable (me included). What a great way to solve the world’s problems and develop great friends!
Happy Blogiversary!
I’ve always wanted the power of teleportation. I like to go places but sometimes I don’t like the traveling.
My superpower:
Unending compassion – or at least enough to get me through the days at work without burning out. The need is so great, the resources so few. Some days the attitudes get to me and it is hard to see the individual and respond to them as such.
Besides which – as at least one commenter noted: I am a mom and a wife. Not only do I have eyes in the back of my head and know what you are up to at all times, I can also read minds, complete sentences and know what you are thinking. These powers already extend beyond my hoome life and include some friends and co-workers. :->
Definitely the ability to heal sick people and animals. Also to redecorate rooms by pointing my finger around. Or, to hold a book in my hand and read and remember it all in 5 minutes.
How come we only get to pick one??
Love May’s cape. Does it come in big girl sizes?
Happy belated blogiversary!! The superpower thing is tricky… just finished watching The Incredibles (no capes!) and I think I’d like to be Violet (can disappear and make a force field). If I have to choose btw the two of them, probably invisibility.
My superpower? Teleportation, no doubt about it. To be able to travel to visit family and friends at will, yet be able to sleep in my own bed with my own kitties at night. And nevermind worrying about running out of yarn on a trip – just pop back home for another ball!
Happy Blogiversary! Only two years? Super power: can I be like Q from Star Trek but remain a good person, not caught up in the power? Probably not. *sigh* Then I choose to know when someone is speaking truthfully.
Betty
My superpower would be the ability to make my toddler go to sleep instantly. Then I could start my evening knitting without hearing, “Mom, bring me a drink of water.”, “Mom, I need to go potty.”, “Mom, can I get out of my big boy bed?”, “Mom, I don’t want to go to sleep!” for an hour after I put him to bed. And I could get some knitting in on the weekend while he takes a super power induced nap. *dreaming*
Dang I was so caught up in the dream of my super power I forgot to wish you Happy Blogiversary!!! Congrats on 2 years!
Congrats on your Blogiversary! I have enjoyed you!
My superpower would be to help everyone that comes to me for help. No matter the situation- financial, educational, superficial.
For my superpower I’d like to have the power to fly. I always had dreams of flying off rooftops when I was a kid.
Happy Blogiversary!
I’ve slept on it. My current super power sucks. I have the uncanny super power of finding every “ouchie” in a room. It comes down to lack of grace. I thought of super strength, but without grace, I’d be a blundering bulldozering scary thing. I want to be more like River in “Firefly”/Serenity. I will dance around as I kick people’s butts, they will never see me coming
.
Congratulations on two years! My wish of a superpower? Only one? The ability to actual travel to someplace exotic at the blink of an eye rather than have to sit here and daydream about it. Oh ok so other people said teletransportation… me too.
There are so many superpowers to choose from… telepathy, transportation, flight… But I think I would have to go for telekinesis, so that I could use my power to hold open a book and turn the pages while I knitted.
I wish I could freeze time. That would probably result in me seeming to age more rapidly in comparison to people around me because I’d be freezing time to sleep more and knit more.
My power would be Sponging. Where in I would be able to hold a book and absorb all the information held within. Just think how spiffy that would be.
Congrats on making it 2 years!
Happy Blogiversary! Here’s one that’s pretty mundane – the ability to have the Tivo instant replay on anything – live TV (like when I’m in a hotel and don’t have Tivo), in a movie theater, watching a show. Real life could get a little weird…
My superpower, hmm…I think my superpower would be to instantly have my house clean with a wiggle of my finger. Mundane perhaps, but I love a clean tidy home, and hate doing housework. Happy B-versary.
If I can’t have the snap-my-fingers-and-the-house-and-everything-in-it-is-clean superpower (which would ROCK because I hate cleaning), then my superpower would be to be able to record my dreams. I am a very vivid dreamer, and my dreams are creative and bizarre and fantastic. Only one problem: I never have time in the mornings to write down what I’ve just finished dreaming, if I remember most of it at all. If I could record my dreams and play them back I could write a whole bookshelf-worth of best-selling novels and I’d be famous and rich and could hire someone to clean my house.
Oops, looks like another superpower I need is to remember to say “Happy Blogiversary!”
Some pretty good superpowers here! #2 there cracked me up. I was thinking my superpower would be to be able to figure out the answers to my questions without banging my head against a brick wall. I thought maybe to stretch time, so fun could go on, but I don’t know… Oh, lately a great superpower would be to have a house that NEVER gets any kind of dust, especially mud dust brought in by shaggy dogs.
I’m nosy and I’d really like to be able to read people’s thoughts. I just think it would be fascinating to see how other people think.
My superpower IS – great parking spots! No matter where I go – my friends love to have me in the car – I always seem to get ‘princess’ parking – the primo spot right near the entrance. I don’t know why – I just do!
Hmmm….at first i wsa thinking of a telepathic type superpower to encourage those slow people in the express lane to move over, but then why waste it!
I would have a super speed power to get chores done super fast, including a great workout! Then think of the time left for the fun stuff, knitting, hiking, etc!
I’ve long wanted the superpower of being able to speak ANY language without the dreary learning and drilling, also to play any musical instrument at will, also without the learning curve. I guess common sense should lead me to wish for a magically self-filling checking account, though.
I would like to be able to instantly transport myself in places – I live here, my family in Italy, the flight is long …..
Happy Blogiversary! Even though I haven’t been around to comment, I enjoy reading your blog, as always.
My superpower must be breaking the time/space continuum so that I could be in two places at once and get twice as much done!
It’s funny you bring this up. My dh’s SP would be flying, he does it in his dreams. Me, I can breathe underwater. So I guess that would be it. I’d be able to swim with the fish w/o having to get back up.
My super power would be to do a Peter Petrelli: Be able to absorb or learn other super abilities and KEEP them, controling them
keeping the abilities, not the people. Ditto on the controlling
If I had a superpower, it would be to change my appearance at will and have all the money I ever needed. Yep, purely shallow goals. These are things I could probably fix now, but I’m busy trying to save the dang planet.
That being said, I suppose if I had some kind of super diplomatic political powers, I might actually be able to save the planet. How boring is that!
I’ve actually been thinking about this quite a bit. I’ve finally decided that the superpower that would help me most would be the ability to function well on 5 or fewer hours of sleep, especially first thing in the morning. I attempt this superpower most mornings, but it doesn’t work….
Happy blogoversary!!!
I think my superpower would be the magic wand of Acceptance, so that I left a trail of contentedness* behind me, starting with myself, of course!
*or the acceptance that is the first step in helpful change/action–got to move beyond complaining, folks!
My superpower would be the power to burn calories at will. I’d be able to eat anything and everything that I want and never gain a pound!
Ooops, I meant to say “HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!”
If I could have a superpower, it would be the ability to fly from my 9th floor office if needed, as I hear the fire dept.’s ladders don’t reach that high.
My husband and I were talking about this the other day. We watch “Heroes” and were discussing which power we would want. I want muscle memory. This girl can watch anything (even on tv or internet) and exactly duplicate it. It’s amazing.
Mine would be the power to will all small children into sleep at my whim, so that bedtime would take about five minutes and no one would wake up until I woke up the next morning!
Congrats on 2 years!
my superpower would be an ability to stretch time or make it pass faster when needed…
My super power would be to be able to spontaneously grow as many extra arms/hands as I needed to knit multiple projects at once. That way I could sew on the Blanket of HOpe, knit on the work baby blanket, knit on the friend baby blanket, knit my garden, and knit my afghan for my house all at the same time. Oh wait I’d need another pair of arms for knitting my Ringbloomst. Oh and another pair of arms to always be working on a hat or some such thing for a charity.
Yep, that would be my Super power. Because afterall knitting has basically become my one true joy in life.
Yay for 2 years! I wonder if there’s a 7-year itch for blogging just like for marriage. Mine’s coming up soon, I think… or it’s already passed… I’m not sure at all.
I think a superpower I direly need is the power to pay attention to things. I would be Attention Girl, and I’d be able to filter all my thoughts and senses faster than a speeding bullet.
Some memory would be nice, too.
Happy Blogiversary!
Hi I found your blog through Emily’s site and it is great. 2 years wow. I just started mine so that is something to hope for. My superpower would be the ability to add time, or halt time I guess. I want to be able to create a localized time vortex where time could stand still just for me to get more work done, but so it wouldn’t alter existence in any way. More time equals more knitting and spinning
(If this is my second entry – please excuse me. When I was writing the first one, I hit a wrong key. And poof!)
You have been blogging for two years – congratulations! I have only been thinking about blogging for that long. Still haven’t taken the plunge.
My superpower would be to finish all my housework by … twitching my nose? (Nope, that’s been done already.) By just thinking it was done.
And it would be up for discussion whether or not the “sewing in of ends” counts as housework.
Happy knitting – and blogging,
Janey
I think if I had a superpower would be to have the ability to make time stop (I know, I’m not the only one who wants this). Obviously I could still move and do things like grocery shopping or grading papers. But this way I could get everything done that I wanted to. Oh, and the amount of knitting time I would have in a day!
Or I’d like to teleport where I want to go. That would save a bunch of time!
My superpower would be *POOF* the ability to have enough money to comfortably retire from 32 years in social services with some treats, vacations and a car that doesn’t leak oil.

congrats on the 2 years. your blog is quiet fun to read and I love the pictures of your kitties.
As for a super powers… well that thought changes from time to time. Sometimes it’s very Jean Gray from X-men power, sometimes I just wont to be a time-lord like Dr. Who. Other times I think it would be fun to be strong/quick/kick-butt. If I could mix them all that would be the best.
Congrats on a fun and entertaining 2 years.
I just want to be Wonder Woman and have the invisible plane and gold lasoo!
My superpower wish is to know the right thing to say to people all the time. Some humans already come close–wonder what their secret is?
Enjoy you blog milestone!
My superpower is to put on my pajamas and just say, “No,” to leaving the house and do just what I want to do (which usually involves knitting) for a whole day.
That, and untangling impossibly tangled yarn.
And happy blogiversary!
The power to have my kids poop on demand and on my schedule. And that ability to wondertwin activate chap crap yarn into silk or Malabrigo.
Happy Blogiversary, Chris!
My superpower would be the ability to slow down time…even just a little would be fine with me! Where is it going??!!!
Happy Blogiversary!
I think I would love the ability to fly. It is really fun when I do it in my dreams.
I want a superpower Time Remote, so I can pause time and temporarily rerun it, then fastforward back to the present. That would come in handy when I realize that I messed up a cable at the beginning of the sweater and am now casting off. Also when the mom-mobile needs to be too many places at once. Also when too much is happening loudly at the same time — I could “Pause”, take a deep breath (or escape), then let the madness resume when I was ready.
Hmm. Yes. Sounds like a great idea.
How did I miss this post? Sorry, I missed most of November…
Happy Blogiversary! Let’s see…gosh, I want lots of superpowers- don’t you? Well, when I was a kid, I thought I’d like to be like Frosta, an obscure She-Ra character. I think she controlled snow and ice or something. Not that it’d do me much good, but at least I could wear sweaters more often! Oh, and I like the blue hair she had, too.
My superpower being able to read the minds of the cats and kids. It is a mother’s gift the kids always forget that mom was once a kid too.
First I have to tell you that my husbands super power is to lose things. Keys, phone, plates in the fridge, you get the idea. Frodo wouldn’t have had to go all the way to Mt. Doom if he was around. So it is very handy that my superpower is finding all the things he lost! I wouldn’t have looked for the ring, honest!
As for a super power I wish I had, Peter Petrelli’s would be really cool, as someone else pointed out. He absorbs everyone else’s powers and uses them whenever he wants too.
I have also always been drawn to healing, I played a healer in Gurps Supers and loved it! First I would heal my headaches and then the world! All right, that might be a little ambitious!
Happy 2nd blogiversary!
I was thinking about what I would most love to have for a super power and the first thing that came to mind was the ability to teleport(?) to anywhere in the world in an instant (and be able to take any number of people with me).
It wouldn’t always have to be going very far away or anything, but I do love to travel and don’t get the chance to because airline tickets cost soooo much.
I’d be the Traveling Girl (or some such other better and more interesting name).
By the way-to Thursday–I have a She-ra coloring book yet from when I was a girl. Oh, I thought those characters were so fun to color. I’ll have to get that book out tonight and look at it! Ahhh, the wonderful memories! lol
Did I make it?? Always on the deadline! I would, very simply, like to KNIT FASTER. Especially at this time of year!
