The Crazy Side

Is why I'm posting a rambling rather than an actual post... of course most of my posts could be considered rambling.

Something caught my eye today and kind of freaked me out so I had to remedy it immediately.

I'm superstitious to the point that;

- If I don't line my tavel mug lid up with the writing it'll spill all over and I'll get burned...(not true but that's what I think)
- I don't believe that hooey about black cats, and broken mirrors, and walking under ladders. However I don't walk under ladders, it seems dangerous, and I try to avoid breaking mirrors because it's messy.
- I believe in monsters under the bed, even now when I'm super tired I'm convinced they are down there, especially if I've watched a scary movie.
- I don't travel anywhere without my St. Christopher Medal(s). One time we went to Victoria and I had forgotten to put the necklace on... I didn't relax the whole time on the Clipper there and back. It was incredibly nerve wracking
- I'm obssessed with shark attacks and am thinking about getting a shark tattoo as kind of way to ward them off next time I go to Hawaii... (in my mind it'll work)

So this morning as I was settling in, checking my blog feed I looked at the top of the page and saw this....

Pageview chart 28132 pageviews - 666 posts, last published on Sep 10, 2013 

Well, that had to change immediately.
Number combinations freak me out, especially that one.
Too much Catholicism in me to make that comfortable.

So you get this... and weird little post about the crazy side of me

we could go deeper into that crazy side but I haven't had enough coffee for that yet...

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...
