5 More Days
this monday i'm on the ball.
ok, maybe i'm not. i wrote that yesterday, which means that i had the best of intentions. but then i got sidetracked. but not today.
so what do i like today (or rather what did i like yesterday?)
1. i'm leaving for vacation in 4 days! (it was 5 days yesterday). i don't think i need to elaborate. woo-fucking-hoo!!!
2. on saturday, after working at graceful stitches (and selling lots of yarn -- and for once not necessarily to myself) i got to hang out with carole, martha (who might as well be blogless) and blogless sharon. and i had a really good time. go read carole's post about our afternoon. i not be so good with werds like she be good with werds ... english after all is my second language (no really it is, technically). we did some knittin' (i have a couple of FOs to share, but that's for another post. don't want to cram too much material in one post so that afterwards i have nothing for 3 weeks). and we did some sittin' . and some grinnin' and some spinnin'. no pickin'. because you can pick your friends and your nose, but not your friend's nose.
oh, and there might have been some margarita drinkin'.
but no hoola dancin'.
3. have i mentioned that it's 4 more days until my vacation?
Those are some awesome photos.

When I saw the top photo for a split second I thought you had scored a new wheel! Then realized it was Carole's. Great action shots!

Nice shot of Carole. And yes, I agree. I think you need a vacation.

You've got the Go-Go's song all lined up, right?
I love the top picture of the wheel in motion.

I really like the "action" shots--very, very cool effect!
I don't know how you're getting anything done with only four days standing between you and vacation. ;-)

What I always say about your pix. I wish I'd been there.
You know there's two kinda knitters in the world, pickers (like me) and throwers. So maybe there was some pickin' goin' on. Or woulda been, if I'da been there.

Sounds like a REALLY fun time. And the second photo of the spinning is fantastic.
And that Martha, what's up with that???? Is it a monthly blog now?

sounds like a perfect afternoon. Margarita's always seem to make things better too :) The spinning photos are amazing. Really cool. Tomorrow is only three days away from vacation. I'm so jealous. Have a super good time!

Hee hee, I did some margarita drinkin' on Monday too. Oh, it pains me to see spinning wheels in motion...*sigh* It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. OK, get control Trace...*sniff, sniffle* Looks like you had a great time.
