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...

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. ...
