Shut Up & Knit!

That's what friends are for...

Our Sairy and our Sharon are walking for ovarian cancer.  AND our Jessalu made fabulous bags (seen below) that she sold to help raise funds for the walk(ers) that she sold in her shop.  This is proof of that age-old wisdom... if you snooze, you lose!   

Go here to donate!

Speaking of friends, we're getting the band back together... and then some!

Team CrankyPants is returning for another triumphant race.  If you're a member of the Team and you're up for another Tour, then you need to check in with the group to get your marching/spinning orders.  If you are a non-crazy reader/commenter/lurker and you would like to join Team CrankyPants, now if your big chance!  If you're a scary kind of crazy, please find another Team.  Thank you kindly.

Also!

Team Cupcake is joining the ranks for the Tour de Fleece this year!

YES! 

A spinning team devoted to the Cupcake Fiber Company* and it's lesser known division, The Meat Sheep Industries.  Any and all (non-crazy) spinners are welcome to join and spin Cupcake Fiber and/or Meat Sheep fluff with the rest of us.

Interested parties, who do not know where to go, are encouraged to comment here and/or message me at the Ravelry machine. 

Watch this space for news and updates and maybe even blog buttons.  I have to call the Art Department and see what's what.  As the Art Department has taken up the ukulele*** all bets are off.

 

* There's currently a Tour related coupon** running on that shop.  Shop early and shop often!

** You do need to be a member of the Team or the Tour to use the above mentioned coupon.

*** Thank you, Ginger!

Have to love a Domme with a riding crop

One must also keep her happy.  Or not.  Depending on what one desires.

Things I'm loving this Monday:

The return of the reworked Sherlock Holmes!  So good.  Such a shame we only get three this time.  Already looking forward to the next run.

The black cherry smoothies at Panera!  I canceled my pity party early because I found out those smoothies were back.  Don't judge me.

This!

My truly amazing friends.

Getting poked on facebook by one very special friend.  (This should in NO WAY give anyone else the bright idea of poking me on the facespace.  I know where you live and I WILL hunt you down.)

(/ahem)

& This:

This time of year, I'm always thinking about how going to Monument Valley would be sort of fabulous.  Then I remember that Monument Valley is located in Utah and I come to my senses.

& What are you loving today?

Socks, Revelations, & That Cough

Socks:

More Lorna's.  CCSRs, blah, blah, blah.

Revelations:

Blogging is far more enjoyable when it's done via email, which, of course, means it's not really blogging, but whatever.  There is a freedom to blogging via email that I find liberating and a bit of a relief.  Almost makes me want to start blogging via email all the time.  However, we all know that just because I love it today does not mean I would do it tomorrow.

Some people have an interesting idea of what "epic" means.  These people may be easily impressed, btw.  That would explain it without me thinking my boring/normal is really fucking fabulous.  We really don't want to feed the ego this week if we can help it.  Trust me.

I totally LOVE Ginger!  (It scans as I type.  Very interesting to see what it takes issue with.  Love!)

Watching someone old enough to be my mother (Hello!) have a hissy fit in public and then pout because no one cares is extremely enlightening.  Right up there with listening to tech advice from someone who can't turn on their own desktop.

& The Cough:

It's largely psychosomatic at this point.  Always charming when on the phone.  It doesn't really bother me because it's not the first time I've had a psychosomatic cough.  Although, it does annoy me that I can never remember how to spell "psychosomatic".  :p

Love Said...

It had been another one of those mornings and it was barely after ten.  Still not feeling up to par, but not having a lot of options, I got back into the damn car.  Turned the key and heard the intro music to this and was transported to another life, another time and a totally different version of me.

 

 

1984, people!

The day improved a bit and spent the rest of it wandering around whist singing the above.  While we will not be discussing what a 14 year old version of me was like, I will say this...

I was seriously under supervised as a teenager.

Oh and I had planned on showing in-progress photos of my knitting, but I just ripped back the cardi.  I didn't like how the increases were going.  Back to the cast on/drawing board.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

He loves me, too.

However, that might have been because I brought him tacos.  :p

Speaking of grammar and spelling on the interwebs, I found Ginger while looking at apps for Chrome and may have fallen in love.  

So far, fabulous!

Did I mention the tacos?

Did you see the socks that our Joan posted on her blog yesterday?  

They aren't nearly as big/long as they look.  They are men's size 9 socks, however, they were knit for narrow feet, which may have a little something to do with how they look.  Well, that and the ribbing pulling in to make them look even thinner/longer.

Like most things in life, it's all about the perspective.  ;^)

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
