Christmas you little sneak...

Is it just me or has the Christmas Season been sneaking up on everyone? Not so much sneaking I guess but come barrelling at us like a freight train and me without the wherewithal to figure out if I should feint left, right, or just try to outrun the thing altogether.

I'm ready, but I'm not.

I'm looking forward to it, but then again I'm not.

I don't know what my astrological lunar cycle is right now but it feels wonky and completely off course...and it's driving not only myself nuts but I think D is ready to pull bits of his hair out...

It's a week before Christmas and I know this much;

1. all my gifts for my family in Minnesota have arrived

2. I'm having ham for Christmas Eve (not sure what else with it but there will be ham)

3. D and I are going to make a day of it Friday and do all our Christmas shopping for the Washington Contingent in one fell swoop.

We had our annual Christmas Bash last night and it was just that, a blast. I hope everyone had a good time. I had a good time. It's possible I sang a little Debbie Harry, I know I sang Eye of the Tiger and sadly didn't realize till it was too late that someone had used the video option on my camera to record the performance. Sad, because after my photo shoot of my friend C, her sister C and husband M, we downloaded all the files from my camera onto C's computer including the suspect video...

I'll be suspicious if C suddenly reactivates her FB account...for now I'm erasing my copy of it and hoping it hasn't gone viral from that ones computer.

This is Albert. You all know Albert, lover of all things woolly? He heard a siren in the middle of our photo shoot today and decided to help out with a howl of his own...it was pretty delightful, much like himself...

I know exactly how you feel. I'm ready, but not; most of my gifts are knitted, but one's not done yet -- and I have ends to weave in on others. At least Nathan's gifts are in the house, but still need wrapping and putting together. Gaaah! Less than a week to go.....

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. ...
