Once Upon a Time.........

There was a beautiful mother and she had the most Perfect Little Girl (PLG) in the world. Every single day her PLG would make her bed right when she woke, brush her teeth without asking, do her homework perfectly upon returning From school and finish the day practicing her piano beautifully while her watched on beaming at her PLG while sipping a glass of wine..........then The Beautiful Mother woke up from her dream, sighed, tipped back the bottle of wine, asked her not-so-perfect-little-girl to, please make your bed (for the tenth time that that day), do your homework, pick up the dirty clothes (which I did if you call 'shoving them under the bed' picking up), and for the love of Pete please go practice the piano for half an hour at least!
It wasn't perfection, and I was not the easiest of daughters to raise, but I did grow up, I do make my bed everyday and for the most part my laundry does make it back into its proper place after I wash it. Most important of all though is this...............
1. My mom is still the most beautiful woman I know
2. She did more for me growing up than I could ever do for her now (I am trying though)
3. I don't like to share her with anyone, I get cranky if I think my 'mom time' is being threatened (sorry G) but I am getting better at that.......
4. Being adopted I truly believe that her and I were chosen to be together and I think that we've both learned a lot from each other in that regard.
5. There is no one I enjoy just 'being' with than my mom (no offense D it's different with the spouse)

I love you mom and can't wait to see you.......please block out your schedule to accommodate me only (just kidding)
Happy Mothers Day!

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. ...
