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...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
