i had paperwork and business sort of things today, but the freshly dyed and dry fiber was calling out to me….pleeeeeease! spin me! fluff me! please! so i did. and my dear friend amy went to the farmer’s market for me because by 4p, when we were supposed to go, i was in pajamas still. i didn’t want to waste time getting dressed, although i did put on a bra. that is saying something. and monkey socky things. so. needless to say, no fun to-morrow, all packing and mailing and banking, etc. ah well. i split my merino top that i had dyed and gets a bit felty into pencil roving and rolled it into balls for ease of spinning to take on vaca, so i have a better idea of what i have. i condition my fiber with fake pantene for smoothing curly hair and i smell like it. and so does pavel, the youngest cat, so i know he has been laying on top of the drying rack covered with fiber. hmmm? busted! he always smells so nice, though. so between the spinning and the prepping fiber, my hands and arms are really hurting. also, my husband, after getting up at 2:30a and getting home from work at 4p, like usual, told me, upon getting into bed that he was exhausted. jokingly, i said, i have lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome! i know tired…and he knew i was joking but looked like a peed in his cheerios. i felt so bad. not a funny joke, but meant to be a joke. i feel like an ass even now writing it in my blog. but i try to be honest. even when it makes me sound like an arsehole. and then he wouldn’t admit that i just made him feel really shit for something he didn’t do. sigh. in fairness, i used to do stuff like that ALL THE TIME and it cracked me up. i didn’t tend to notice that i had really made someone feel horrible. i like to think that i don’t do that much anymore, unless it is someone that i cannot stand. although, my new approach to people that i dislike is to act insane and friendly and just freak them out. i won’t mention any names. although, i act insane and friendly to people i do like, as well. hm. that isn’t good, at all.

i didn’t do anything more than a card for my mom-in-law or for my mom and i feel rotten about it. when i called my mom, she seemed to be glad to hear from me, despite the fact that my brother(s) probably sent her flowers. i have some scarves that i made for her a while ago, super skinny ones, mind you, that i didn’t think she would care about, but when i talk to her now, not often, but she will ask what i am doing in knitting and what they look like, so i think she actually would probably really like them. the crazy yarns are like jewelry to her. sometimes i feel like it is one of the few things we have in common, that we both like sparkly things. i will send some things to her, with apologies for being a crap daughter. nothing new, i reckon.

so…a friend of mine told me that she doesn’t click on many of my links in my posts because there are too many…what do you guys think? i actually make an effort to put tons in there and photos all the time…is it overwhelming? i find most of the great sites and blogs that i read through other people’s sites, so i try to pass on the favor…but please give me input.

what more? i blogged that on grey’s anatomy everything always comes out ok because it is that kind of a show and then…oh man. everything came out not so good. and i cannot believe that she screwed that dude. also, did you notice that she pulled down her pantyhose, but didn’t take them off, yet we are expected to believe that they had sex in that position? seriously? feet up? don’t think so.

also, the new show pepper dennis is super good. i watched it by mistake when it first started and am totally hooked. it is a really great show. oh tivo, why do you make me watch so much tv? well, it is much easier to spin or knit while watching tv(and i like to put it on closed caption and play the stereo at the same time!) than it is to read and do other things. that is hard! i swear i am going back to my pre-knitting, lots of reading, the way it should be. shameful! i have always been a big reader, in addition to insisting on reading heavy, hard to follow, obscure things. i have eased up a bit, but still don’t read anything MUCH lighter. i feel like it needs to be educational or something, or i am wasting my time. this from someone that watches grey’s anatomy and then blogs about it. oop.

ok, i need to transcribe a pattern for shannon’s book…wooot! i may have to reknit it if my original notes make no sense, which they probably do. ay ay ay!

i hope i didn’t post this pic already.

xo,
