A Conversation from Wednesday Afternoon...

Background on the conversation:
I was running behind and forgot that I had to get fuel for Ghetto Jepeto on my way in to work.
Fast forward to 5:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

Scene: In our bedroom while D is getting ready for us to go pick up our season hockey tickets.

Me: (standing by the bedroom door in case I need to make a break for it) I have something I need to tell you and it's not good.
D: (in the bathroom brushing his teeth) Is it going to make me mad.
Me: possible (poised in a running start position)
D: then you probably shouldn't tell me.
Me: Oh no, I need to tell you...
D: Then tell me...
Me: I got pulled over today on my way in to work.

everything goes silent.

D: (steps out of the bathroom with a very somber look on his face) How much was the ticket?
Me: (huge smile) I didn't get a ticket, I got a stern scolding.
D: What were you doing that got you pulled over?
Me: Driving like I was on a racetrack!
D: What?
Me: He said I was driving as if I was on a racetrack and that I needed to settle down. It's possible I was being a little aggressive as well...
D: well at least you didn't get a ticket.
Me: I thought you'd be happy that they pulled me over for aggressive driving since you say the cops in this state only pull you over for speeding and not for bad driving...
D: I am happy about that, just not happy it was my wife that they pulled over...
Me: Fair Enough...
D: did they really use the term 'racetrack'
Me: could I make that up?

The conversation ended well. I don't know what I was more nervous about, getting the ticket that I didn't get or having to call D at work first thing in the morning and tell him I got a $400 + ticket...

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. ...
