lifelong knitter

The Other Thing

i LOVE about MAY
(besides Sheep and WOLF)
is heirloom Peonies....

I wish you could SMELL them...
simply divine!

My heart is SO full. Had both my birds for the afternoon.
We went shoe shopping, bought bagels,
and played video games.
OKAY, I knit while THEY played video games.
My job is simply to cheer when they
reach each new level.
I'm hoarse from cheering.

Hope your weekend is filled with BLOOMING things
and LOVE....
lots and LOTS of Love!
mwah!

Dorm Debacle

The good news is:
1) dear daughter is finished with FINALS
2) she is completely moved out of the dorm
3) we are back at my Nest.

The bad news is:
1) It took ALL day
2) According to every student I heard it was the *hottest freakin day of the YEAR, dude!*
3) The song remains the same.

Literally.

Stereos blasting the same exact tunes I moved out of MY dorm with.
ACK!

See if YOU can name these tunes...
(extra credit if you immediately begin to sing along...)

*Really love those peaches, wanna shake your tree*

*Carryin me home to see my kin*

*Wild wild horses...couldn't drag me away*

and then I said (under my breath so as not to embarass the dear daughter bird)
If the BOSTON album comes up next,
I'm just gonna FREAK out.

Shore nuff darlin....

*It's been such a LONG time*

Honestly peoples, there is new music to move out by....

ISN'T there?

As we turned in her keys and we headed out to the parking lot for the final time.....

*Just a small town girl*

I drove away in a spray of gravel.

Pushed the PLAY button on the pod.

oh.my.gawd

*Hot time, summer in the city*

Hey Maggi....is it still 6:30?

I'm doing the Time Warp, again.

Peace out, peeps.

Pictures...

The Photo Album, she is UP!
Click and giggle.
I know I took lots of other fabulous pictures, but apparently with someone else's cameras!
Forgive me please if I have misattributed any of these captions....
I spent the day loading my Mommymobile to the MAX with daughter bird's
Dorm Stuff, and I didn't even make a noticeable dent.
sigh.
Back down the road again tomorrow for another haul....
she cracks me up.
I asked her how her Finals had gone so far (she just has one more tomorrow...)
and she said *oh, they've been GREAT, my Favorite Kind!*
really? I queried, what KIND would that be?
*EASY, Multiple choice.*
Ah, the smile on my happy child's face!

Back from MSWF 05

First, some *ole business*...the pattern should be available at Melissa's store.
We'd love to raise some serious cash for Autism Awareness!

MSWF05 was absolutely FABULOUS in every way. I will try to upload a photo album, so those of you on dial up don't have to wait for the pictures to load...
I met so many wonderful, amazing, beautiful women this weekend, I hardly know where to begin. The weather was perfect, the company marvellous, and the stash has been enhanced.
Ahem.

There were some folks I searched for but didn't get to meet, like the Bossy Little Dog's mama,
and KnittingChocolate Melissa, and...oh I could go on and on, but I've got poodles to snuggle and laundry to do, and my daughter bird will be finished with her finals in two days....
It's an absolute Miracle, but she will have completed her first YEAR of college.
wow.
just wanted to pop in and say *hey*.....

My 15 minutes....

I've never thought I looked *good* in photos,
certainly NEVER, ever
felt like a MODEL...
here are my favorite *outtakes*
from the photo shoot...

Pattern link should be available tomorrow,
Melissa is just waiting for the 5013c status letter
from the Autism Society
so we can be sure all proceeds go
to support Autism Awareness.

In the PATTERN picture, the poodle is looking adorably AT the camera!

It's a scarf/shrug multi-tasking cotton creation....equally at home in the Garden or the Vehicle at Speed.

Can't WAIT to see y'all at Sheep and Wolf (teehee) THIS weekend!

MWAH!

Knitting in the movies...

The long awaited Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie was Fabulous!
Don't miss the KNITTED part...
teehee!
