weekend report

[2eclipse]

i didn' t get to do most of the things i wanted to do for my birthday.
the tattoo didn't happen because they said it would only last 3 weeks and they would charge me double. that didn't seem like a very good deal.
the problem is, i don't think there's any other place i want one.

we then went to go to the tepanyaki place....and called ahead to make sure it wasn't a problem.
once we got there it was a problem. and they were very rude to us.
our business went elsewhere.

the birthday was pretty awesome anyway. we went to the dock, a restaurant in stillwater. the food was amazing and i had a really nice time with susan, corrin and ross. we then went back to our place (with a stop at the liquor store) and watched "the witches" based on the rald dahl book. it was very cute. not as good as i'd been lead to believe, but enjoyable.
the weekend was lovely.
i canned with thistle and shawn and john and tessa on sunday and had dinner out with ross, where we met a really awesome couple. the weather was beautiful, if hot. i got a LOT of spinning done and my first two skeins are complete!


i am quite pleased with the results. there is a sweater in issue 18 of the wheel that calls for bumply, slubby yarn that will be perfect for this.

and we are going to look at kittens tonight!!!!!!

yay kitties!!!!!

glad you had a nice birthday even if it didn't go the way you planned lol

by tattoo do you mean a henna tattoo or a for real one? I can't think of anything besides a henna tattoo lasting only 3 weeks... it seems odd they would tell you that? was it because you wanted it someplace weird? they told me the one on the top of my foot wouldn't last or some such and uh, it's still there five years later...

your yarn is beautiful!!

i want a real one.
but the place i want it (underside of a finger) sheds flesh rapidly.

Ohhh yeah they say hand-and-feet tattoos do that. I'd get it anyway. It'll last longer than they say it will. They said the same thing when I got one on my foot. It might fade but i don't think it'll disappear, and you can always get it retouched. I mean, bikers have been getting initals on their fingers for decades, i dont' see what the problem is... how long has ozzy had his finger tats?

i say fuck'em and try someplace else!!

skeins and such

Wow! I am really impressed with the yarn from your own hands and your own spinning wheel. I had no idea it was possible to learn that fast to spin! (knowledge probably based on Rumplestilskin-since I am not well educated about spinning)Anyway, it is a beautiful color too.
I am sad tonight because I just got home from the funeral for Jeff Watkins. He died very suddenly of pneumonia. He was one of my favorite kids ever in the phys. disabilities program. You may remember him from therapeutic rec. He was 33.
I am glad you had a very good birthday...and that Ross is freed from the show. Finally you guys can spend some time together.
I can't wait to hear if you came home with a kitten tonight!!!

thanks!
i'm still not a very good spinner. i can do it, but my product is not the kind of quality that heather or others get.
some of that is due to the crappy fiber i'm using, but a lot of it comes from developing skill too. still, i'm proud of what i made. :)
i remember jeff. i met him when i was training for therapeutic rec. he was a nice guy. i'm sorry he's dead...but i'm glad he had a chance to live to 33 at least. i know a lot of kids who can't feel pain die early due to not feeling what is hurting them.
i did not come home with a kitten last night. but i did pick one out. she wil be coming home soon. :)
