yesterday heather and butter and jake and amy and i went to dinner, at a new local restaurant that was disgusting at best. ew. we had fun though. amy and i went to burlington and i got slippers that look like babydoll shoes and some cute barrettes and some beaded mules, i will put them with my photos. cute!

we were up super late, jake was asleep by the time i got out of the shower. i woke up late, after waking a lot during the night, we got groceries and then i went for a ride on jakes motorcycle for the first time. i was really nervous, i don’t know why, even though i have ridden bikes before. we had a really nice time. it blows me away how much i love my husband. not only love him, but like him so much, he is so wonderful, so gorgeous, so sweet, kind, smart, easygoing. i don’t know how i lucked out like this. we were riding and i just sat behind him looking at his neck, touching his waist, thinking that i am home. i have never been so happy, felt so safe, felt complete and settled, not looking for anything, except for inside of myself, work stuff, creative stuff…my relationships with other people in my life are sometimes lacking, my relationship with jake, i have no complaints at all. how crazy is that?

also, i got collars for the cats, a name tag for pave. i am so worried lately that something would happen and no one would know where they belong. pavel’s collar jingles all the time, he keeps messing with it and managed to get it in his mouth, so i tightened it. not in his mouth though. peeps is so fluffy that hers doesn’t jingle at all. i didn’t think k would wear one, but the other two, especially peeps doesn’t seem to even notice it. jake and i ogled the kitties and how adorable they look and how pavel never had his name on anything before. so cute. we got home from the ride and went into the backyard to pick strawberries, which are growing like crazy…yummy!! so sweet and good and juicy. i have a bit of an ant problem out there.

in the biggest news of all…i have a spinning lesson to-morrow starting at 11 a and going on for SIX hours!!!! whoa…and the fiber is slated to be delivered to-morrow. adrian from hello yarns gave me the name of the person she gets fiber from so i will check that out, she is not only really talented, but super duper nice! yo adrian!!!

the photo at the beginning of this post is one of the aprons…tie one on!!…i scored the other day, made from a tea towel. cute!!

also, i wondered if anyone would be interested in doing a knit along from loop d loop by teva durham…anyone? i am open to the pattern, that bag with the wooden handles looks awesome. i love it and everything else in that book. it is great. i think that sarah dallas book looks really great. anyone get it yet?

lastly, on karrissa’s blog i saw this insane and gross story…ewwwww.

if i am not too exhausted, i will blog about my lesson and post some photos…wish me luck…oh wait, i don’t need luck!!

oh, p.s. my mom-in-law put an ad in the paper for her wallpapering business that she is trying to start and got 3 calls since wednesday! i am so impressed that she is sticking her neck out and taking a chance!! yay mom!! she is a strong and brave and beautiful woman!!
