Since she has already said it ….. I am babysitting this weekend. A wee child. (all her words mind you!) Well, I’ll dry her eyes and wipe her nose, but I’ll be damned if I wipe her ass…… hopefully she’s potty trained. : )

I am really looking forward to Cara’s visit – nothing but fiber and fun for four days (wow! that’s a lot of f’s!). Tomorrow we will be going out east for Peggy E. to give her a spinning lesson – Saturday will be a yarn crawl and perhaps some beach time ….. loads of fun for sure and lots of pictures too!

I actually got an early start on my fun with blogging friends weekend – I met Kathleen and Nancy for lunch today – where I was accused of being a dirty rotten skimmer. Which is all true – but the big news is that Nancy is getting me a stripper’s pole! Hope it’s reinforced steel or something.

gotta run and meet her train! more soon!!

Here is the picture I wanted to show you the other day when D#2 did NOT misplace the cable thingy. Vicki sent a package to mark our one year Quit Smoking Anniversary. The socks are cozy, the candy was delicious, but how damn cute is that pot holder?!! How about the money shot? Thank you Vicki!

Yesterday was spent at my spinning lesson. We have one more left – last week is the last one. I can’t believe it’s been six weeks already. What a difference they have made. I can’t say exactly what I’ve learned, but I have certainly taken my spinning up a notch or two and have also put that beginner’s nervousness behind me.These lessons have had less to do with technicalities and more with the ‘feel’ of the fiber. One of yesterday’s highlights was that I got to try out Peggy E’s Norm Hall wheel. If you are not a spinner, this wheel is one of spinning’s Holy Grails. Hers is the saxony model and not a castle wheel like my Lendrum. I did not like this arrangement. I could not get used to the fiber going off to the left and my hands felt as though they were tripping over each other. I have made a mental note to only try and get my hands on a Norm Hall Castle wheel. : )

Did you know I am getting company tomorrow? I have to trot along and start cleaning …..

Crow.

Yes, I have to eat some crow – pass the salt.

D#2 has just now returned from school. She denied any knowledge of the camera cable and then immediately located it in the office desk drawer (where it was put by Boar apparently).

D#2 is now comtemplating the terms of my surrender – no doubt this will include, but not be limited to a trip to Target for new Ipod headphones and a hairdryer.

gah!
