G’day Arlene

We were visited by the remnants of T.S. Arlene yesterday. Seems weird that we are even affected by anything Tropical, being here in the Midwest, but it rained most of the day. It was kind of a nice change. I’m sure it was a a little too much at once for the farmers around here,…

HolidaYeah! WKN

So, tomorrow/today I’ll be at “Holiday World”:http://www.holidayworld.com with the BooHopper and her Brownie troop. The forecast calls for hot, humid and a 40% chance of Thunderstorms, oh joy! We’re scoping the place (our first time there) for the family’s day there in 2 weeks. _His_ company is paying our way in and giving a company…

How cool, a secret pal!

I’ve already heard from my “SP5″:http://moma.org/ecards/pickup_ecard.php?collect_code=1052582834 Secret Pal! I’ve received a couple of emails, a very cool e-card, and I’m expecting a post card in my box, too. This is such fun! I’ve also perused the blog of my recipient SP and have some ideas churning for what to send her – but I think…

Star Wars – Store Wars

“THIS”:http://www.storewars.org is HILARIOUS! Sadly, there is a lot of gnawing truth to it, though. I will HAVE to share that with the big kids and _him_.

So, my friend “Debbie”:http://sternski.com/debbie and I _*enable*_ eachother, on an almost daily basis, between here and Seattle, over the cyberlines. Today’s enablement? This looks so cool – it’s a “Mystery Stole Along.”:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mysterystolealong There will be clues, the pattern, given along the way, and we all create our stole together. How cool is that? It’s a…

Where did my hair go?

So, mom, sweetheart that she is, came and picked me up yesterday and took me to get my haircut – her treat. I went nuts – temporarily insane – cuckoo. It’s short. Shorter than it’s ever been. Another sign that I’m losing it – be forewarned, if you hadn’t figured it out already. The haircut…

SP5 Questionaire

p{color:maroon;font-weight:bold}. 1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you? _I was raised on acrylics, like Red Heart, and I do use them now and then, but I have recently discovered the wild world…
