look at the dirt in my eye and on my face! when i took a shower, the water was actually dirty! hardcore!
rough night. needless to say. i have been overdoing things, i know, but my mind is willing, even if my body is not. i have more dyeing to do but i should probably attempt to take things a bit easy this week because maryland sheep and wool is this weekend and if i am lucky, i will have made myself sick by then. you too, donna! take it easy, lady! i get to see her to-morrow i think. wooot wooot! we are so different but we have a really fun time together. very easygoing. you know how with some people there are lulls and you have to think of things to say or do? that doesn’t happen. she is a good egg. me likes her. mwah!

anyway, i was going to do some dyeing but was pooped out so i thought that i would do some spinning instead because i haven’t done a lot, etc, etc, so i did one yarn and plied it and then thought that it was so lovely outside, i would drag the louet onto the back porch and spin out there. we have a swing with an awning on it, so i figured i would do it on there so i didn’t burn the hell out of myself. um…spinning on a swing is really really hard! it reminds me a bit of sitting on one of those yoga balls or something. standing on a log in water. riding a unicycle. right zeeps? i bet you can ride one! anyway, i came out of it with a really sore neck and back. i wish i knew a message therapist that would do work for yarn. seriously. i mean it. or, i could get zeeps to ride a unicycle over my back? nah, that might cripple me. so, in closing, i don’t advise it. use a chair. that doesn’t move. i spun 4 big bobbins of yarn today. more than a pound of fiber. pretty good, eh.

on the riches you know the show with eddie izzard (woooooot!) and minnie driver? well! one of my most favorite actors evah…clancy brown! was on today. i hope he is on more episodes. oh brother justin.

i am sleepy and scattered, so off i go.

oops, i forgot, i got tagged by anja! i need to figure out who to tag though. hmmmm.

The rules
Start with 7 random facts/habits about yourself
People who are tagged have to write their 7 things on their blog
Then choose another 7 people to get tagged and list their names
Don’t forget to leave them a comment to tell them they
have been tagged and to read your blog

only 7 random things? sheesh!
1. i have the most sensitive nose and taste buds. i can smell bad things intensely and get bad bad migraines from it.
2. if i eat blue cheese, or anything that has blue cheese in it, i get sick in minutes. when i was a kid, i didn’t know that i couldn’t eat it and would eat doritos or chips at any opportunity, and they all have both blue cheese and msg in them which also makes me sick and i would get a migraine like nothing you have ever seen. bad bad stuff.
3.i love matzo with butter and vegimite. love. i eat it one row at a time.
4.my grandparents on both sides are from white russia. they came to south africa as children.
5.i was born in capetown, south africa. i didn’t become a us citizen until i was 12 (i think).
6.i love berries. all sorts of berries. i could eat raspberries and blackberries until i get sick. and i have. seriously. i have raspberries and strawberries in my garden. the strawberries are unreal. ask the squirrels, birds and rabbits. they enjoy taking a bite out of the perfectly ripe ones. sigh. eat the whole thing! geez. rude!
7.i have watched general hospital since i was in 3rd grade. i tivo it. i don’t watch any other soap and have no desire to. they seem stupid to me. odd? yeah, i reckon, but there aren’t talking chimps or psychic babies or anything, so it seems reasonable. sure, people come back from the dead sometimes, but there is usually a good explaination. right?

nighty night.
