well well

It's the eve of my 27th birthday. I sit alone here in my room listening to some podcasts and hoping that Chris Meloni will be shirtless in tongihts episode of OZ. Never seen OZ? It's a great show on HBO that is only in reruns on HBO Zone. and Chris is.. hot.. not as hot as Mike Rowe but still hot.

I was thinking today of Birthdays past. Parties I had at Pizza Hut when I was 8, when I turned 16 and had a horrible sleepover at my house. when I was married and had non exsistant birthdays.. and now.

Always I have had wonderfuls friends to share it with be in person and going bowling, or sharing laughs over the phone hundreds of miles away.

Last year I met new friends at my LYS. Friends that make me laugh, lift me up when times are hard, that invite me over for ymmy guac, teach me new things and are supportive and so valuable to me.

To close up I would like to leave you with a poem by the poet, Willam Stafford.

Friends

How far friends are! They forget you, most days. They have to, I know; but still
its lonely just being far and a friend. I put my hand out- this chair- this table-
so near: that's how to live.
Call up a friend? all right, but the phone itself is waht loves you, warm on your ear, on your hand. Or, lift a pen to write- it's not that far person but this familier pen that comforts.
Near things, Friend, here's my hand.


Good night my friends, see you soon!!!

A few weeks ago some friends and I met up for some fun over at an Alpaca Expo. They were all super nice, letting ups pet then and take thier pictures. The handlers, owners, whatever they call themselves were nice as well, answering all of our questions.

More pictures on my Flickr account.

I bought a blanket from a baby alpaca ( which means that they shaved him nekkid) And I started spinning it up last night. I like it a lot.

That's all for now, see ya'll later!

There is nice and fresh Jitterbug in at KNIT WITZ and I managed to take home two balls of it on Saturday. I casted on for some simple socks, using the pattern on the BallBand.

My dear friend Kathe, wanted to name them Tiger at twilight which is a fantastic name. However Devil Woman was playing on the old iPod Sunday night and thus, that is the new name of the socks. I am at toe stage on sock one. I hope to finish it up this Saturday, cast on for #2, and also pick up some more yarn for a new sweater.

Who me?

A few notes:

Mom is recovering quite nicely esp when she is on her pain medicene. I had a wee bit of a nasty cold, and am left with a cough and lots of nose blowing on my end.

As I am getting my strength back I have been spinning up a secret this week. Shhh, Pics to come after the person gets it!

What else? I think that is about it.

oh, one last thing, Let's all remind the Yarn Harlot about how wonderful it is here in sunny and warm Florida! WHo needs her snow when she can be at the beach super fast?

Peace out peeps!
