nothing much to say......

except.............
1. Gabby lost her ball under the shed, a story many of you have heard already this week but none-the-less was an event unto it's own this week. It resulted in us cancelling our oringal plans and loading Gabby into the car to go to the pet store for a brand new ball and a stop for a cheeseburger on the way home........I won't tell you about the phone call to Lillian and the embarrasment following that.
2. Quintus had a yearly check up today complete with shots and the news that he is now a Senior Dog.....He seems okay with it of course seeing as how he has been trying to climb on top of me all afternoon while I knit and surf the net.
3. My new sister-in-law, Margie, had a birthday this past week, of course I just started working on her present.......sorry :) It'll be there soon.......
4. Next week is the knitting retreat and I'm already trying to figure out what to bring and not over do it.....I think the fact that the suitcase is packed and ready to go is a good sign, the fact that I only packed yarn, books, and patterns not so good.....I'll have to do some rearranging so I can at least bring some clean underwear, and no, I'm not going to knit it...........that it would be a conversation starter is a given however once the wine gets flowing at these retreats the show-and-tell portion of the knit underwear could make some uncomfortable, especially if it's me modeling it........
On that note, in an effort to relieve you from the image of me in knit underwear please take a moment to enjoy a picture of a baby porcupine.....I know it's the most awesome thing ever.......until it pokes out your eye.

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...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
