Ring Ring Ring: Calling mom's home number.......
VoiceMail: Hello you've reached Patricia........*hang up*
Me: Crap
Ring Ring Ring: Calling mom's cell which is a bit like playing roullette, I should get 100 bucks if she answers...
Cell Phone: The person you are attempting to reach is.....*hang up*
Me: Crap, well I probably said something more colorful than crap but we'll go wtih that for now....while I try the cell phone again......
Ring Ring Ring
Me: (before the phone is answered): Come on, Answer the %$&#ing Phone
Mom: Hello
Me: Hey Mom, are you at the aiport
Mom: Yeah.....
Me: did you remember your passport?
Mom: Why?
Me: so we can get into Canada?
Mom: Crap
Me (silently to myself): #$@! I have non-changeable tickets......

It's like Paris all over again............
Thankfully my brother is currently overnighting the passport and I was able to change the departure to later in the day.
So we will make it to Canada, thank goodness D is coming up on Sunday, there is no telling if we would make it back......

FYI for those of you traveling from the U.S. to Canada a U.S. Passport is required to cross the border.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
