Ok, sorry, but Shamu in an art museum in Idaho made me laugh until it hurt. And the ShamuCam is cool. Ok, understatement. The ShamuCam had me going "EEEEEEEEE!!!!!" like a fangirl gone wild. It was sad and scary. I've been banned by co-workers from the site. I wanna look at the big fishy (Yes, I know it's not a fish. Allow me my immaturity, k? thanks.)I do want to learn sign language and my darling hubby needs to learn it....he ummm...has NO qualms about shouting anything down any aisle in any store. None. He's 6'7" tall. Who's gonna say anything to him?
Congrats on finishing the socks!! Right now I am in awe of anybody who is able to finish anything. Kudos to you, Blog Mistress! And the pillows are lovely! I've mopped up the drool though.
Ok, the chocolate cake made the drool come back.
Hope everyone has a great day!!
Wait a minute.....did you say vacation next week? Does this mean no blog? *wimper*
I. Love. ShamuCam. I can't stop watching. Help me.
TMK isn't kidding. We just spent fifteen minutes on the phone with her describing to me, in minute detail, every single frickin' thing Shamu was doing, which was immediately followed by an email from her saying "Shamu pooped!" I think I need to run home and do an emergency disconnect of her internet cable.
Yep, Angie, vacation, and nope, no blog. I'm afraid this happens pretty regularly since I am one of the luckiest people in the world in that I get five weeks of paid vacation a year. I don't get paid squat but, by golly, I get five weeks of paid vacation a year! Be forewarned: My next vacation is Aug. 2-6...
6'7"?!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, he's 6'7" tall and wears a size 17 shoe. heehee.
TMK, I understand. I do. I haven't shut Shamu off since I found him. And right now I think it's just a repeat of earlier today. But it's.....relaxing. Yes.
Ok. A week of vacation. That's 3 missing blogs. Ummm....I know! I'll just go read the archives again. Yes. Archives are always fascinating!
How am I supposed to stalk if you go on vacation??? Ok, I'll be alright..I will. :o)
All kidding aside, I hope you have a FAB time with your family!!
Thank you for the kind wishes. I gotta tell you, that cake was good the second and third days as well. I fell off the Atkins wagon for sure--and finally had to put the remaining cake in the trash because I was starting to feel a bit sick.
Bett's sweaters are so incredible in person! Meg Swansen regretted that the photos in Sweaters from Camp couldn't capture the beauty of the sweaters--unless she chose overseas printing and pushed the price way, way up. Bett's sweaters, the Mermaid Vest, Meg's millennium sweater, Ann Feitelson's--these in particular struck me as absolutely incredible in person but less so in the book.
Your Borgi looks fantastico--if you aren't knitting you can pat yourself on your back. And remember--you too could knit the Autumn Color Fair Isle, it's the same thing you've been doing on your itsy bitsy sweater. Truth!
See you Sunday!
Here's the cool thing, Janine--even before you said it, I had realized that I could now knit the Autumn Color sweater! A very cool feeling indeed! However, as always, my problem is sizing. Even the largest sizes of any pattern never fit me. I think that's why the pillow project appeals to me so--I get to do Fair Isle but don't have to worry about whether or not it's going to fit!
I am so glad i'm not the only one to use ASL to talk in resturants. Not only did my classmates and I use it when our mouthes were full, but when the table next to ours started making unreasonable demands and acting badly, we could talk about how rude they were without being, well, rude.
Ok, so I accidently called them 'naked' instead of 'rude'. ... I do that in ASL all the time. It's like slightly misspronouncing a word... and saying something TOTALY differentl.
We don't have a knitting group down here where I live in CA. I envy both your signing lunches (though I feel your pain that they are leaving) and your Feral Knitters.
Happy stitching, and make sure you hold on to your food at Sea World; the small storklike birds will pluck it from your hand if they get half a chance!
