Nerves...

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is only two days away.
Two days I'll be picking up my teammates at 4:30 a.m. and heading to the start line.
6:30 a.m. we'll begin our walk thru downtown Seattle and make our way to the eastside.

I'm getting nervous.
I'm excited also.
I'm excited to spend the weekend with my friends.
Big crowd gatherings make me nervous.
The chaos of them make me nervous.
Once we are on our way I'll be fine.
I'll settle down and have fun, but right now my nerves are making me nauseous.

Day One is the longest day of walking.
Day Two is long but not as long as Day One.
Day Three is the shortest.

I'm getting my gear together.
Hoping I don't forget something important.
Hoping I pack some fun stuff as well.

I found my rain ponchos from the last time I did the walk.
I didn't need them then, I will need them this time. It's supposed to rain all weekend long.

My camera is charged.
My blister kit is packed (this is very important as no matter how tough my feet are and trust me they are tough, I am prone to blistering)

I'm rambling.
I'm thinking about packing some knitting for in camp. But what does one pack to knit for a walk?
Something pink of course.
Something mindless because I'll be mentally exhausted.
I'll have to dig thru the stash and find something... I have some hot pink yarn. I can whip up a cowl maybe.
Who am I kidding, I won't be knitting. Once I settle in the tent I'll pass out.

nerves.
They make me ramble!

Two Days till the 3-Day!
OMG
Happy Wednesday

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
