Comments (10)

Did y’all see Wendy in the comments thanked everyone for their birthday wishes! She’s getting to be an old woman now, and thank you Lesa for correcting me...it was the summer solstace..note to self don’t make posts at 2am anymore.

Ok so what the hell have i been up to you say? Well loads of things. As of late though i haven’t been feeling well and i think today i had a hallucination due to taking huge amounts of excedrin for 4 days straight. I SWEAR i saw a Large 1/2 nekkid old man riding a lawnmower up the street. He stopped at the now vaccant house across the street, got off and kicked some trash. Then bent down to pick it up and his shorts almost came off! eeegads. He got back on his mower and went off back down the cul de sac. When i told this to Nat tonight he seems to think it was all the excedrin. I dunno i’ll report back if i see the man againa nd this time find my camera.
ANYWAYS.

I have been up to a ton of stuff like going to the printer’s row bookfair in chicago every June.
Hey who’s that hott boy wearing brown at the McSweeny’s booth?


Oh right it’s nat who has cut off ALL his hair!


We went to see David Honeyboy Edwards play his set at the bluesfestival






We took a short mini-vacation and went to the Indianapolis Zoo
Where i saw these guys


and this guy


and my mom fed a giraffe


and i saw this lazy male


we pet sharks at their new oceans exhibit and went intot he dolphin dome which is cool as hell. we also went to the children’s museum and had a good time. We’ve been meeting up for knitting meetings a little more now that everyone is more free in the summertime. We had an intresting man approach our table with this tatoo


than he showed us what it was for


which cracked us up to no end.
i took a picture of kayt’s sock, lesa, and Jessica as a rock star all in the background


and kayt


and erin’s hands NOT in a knitting fury of blur

Let’s see what else have i been up to? i entered a contest over at liquidgirl knitting ages ago and won! yay! look at what teresa sent to me! some cherry tree hill sock yarn


some markers and a button


and some more cute buttons

and last but not least (the best for last!) I managed to convince a cool girl named Hannah (Hi HANNAH!) way over there in the U.K. to swap tea with me. I’ve beenw anting to try some really good black REAL british tea. And her packaged reached me before i could even get 1/2 of what i wanted to send to her. So here’s the proof i packed it all up and sent it out last wednesday, i sent her extra yarn to make up for my tardyness in getting her package together. I’m just not fast, but i do think i can deliver.


now look at what hannah sent along!


and the YARN alpaca that is orange and so soft and th emost charming little tea infuser

Now dear friends...excedrin hallucinations and all i think i am caught up. *whew* now back to lolcats.

Hey! I have a hank of that very same Cherry Tree Hill Supersock from Ms. Liquidgirl herself as well. I turned mine into monkey socks. (OK- *a* monkey sock.) I have some buttons just like those too. :)

lay off the Excedrin!!!  :)

that yellow lizard is way cool - you don’t’ see too many live things that color! Real British tea! So jealous! English Breakfast is pretty much my favorite kind, but I’m wondering how the stuff from across the pond compares to ours...you’ll have to let me know!

I forgot about that guy!
Jess always rocks it.  she’s so cute.
MIL was lukewarm about her socks.  No more socks for her.

Wow, what a great post! You sure made out like a bandit, very nice indeed! I’m still cracking up over the great sites on your trip!

Yeeah, lay off the excedrin… I took a dose last night and knocked out and had strange dreams.

I really really like that dudes tattoo.

this is Hannah to say to everyone who hasn’t seen the inside of the amazing piddleloop tea parcel that it was the most incredible parcel ever it contained many delicious tea and wools and so many exciting other things including paper clips in the shape of bones and some lovely pouches adn it was all stuck up on the outside with beagle sellotape so I will need to urgently send more english things as mine was paltry in comparison. Thank you!

LOL about lolcat blogs. I hate sites like that. I mean I love it, but you know what I mean ... it’s too addictive!

BTW I found this and thought of you guys:

I’ll bet the blues fest was great and the INdy zoo sounds fun, too.  Never been to that one.
The tea looks yummy!

I love tea.  Grew up on tea.  We drink several cups a day.  English Breakfast or Earl Grey for me.  I use tea bags, mainly because I cannot find our teapot!
