I have this fab-u-lous friend Kay, with whom I reconnected with because of this blog (it is by far the greatest reward of this blog). Ever since we re-connected about a year ago we’ve been emailing and sending little things back and forth. We’ve also become each others importer/exporter for goods from the other country. Kay lives in England and I met her at camp when we were both counselors there. Anyway so I sent Kay some ribbon and Knock Knock stuff a while back and asked her to get me this wonderful yarn that I had found a that great yarn shop in Seattle. Well yesterday the packages came, and people, I was freaking out. The packages were out of rip-stop otherwise I would have used my teeth to gnaw into it. And with good reason:

A huge mound of Colinette. Ahhhhhh. I was LITERALLY rubbing it against my face as I drove back from the post office. I couldn’t help myself. I immediately wished all of it was mine, but half is actually now in my mom’s stash. I also got a color card:

So are you thinking it couldn’t get better than that? Well it’s Kay, so of course it can! She sent me a little not with the color card, saying now that I had it I could order through her as much as I liked (ohhhh don’t tempt me Kay, I will so do it!) And then tucked in all the yarn were a bunch of little packages all wrapped in purple tissue with cute little tags (did I have any self control to take a picture of this? No of course not, I ripped into them immediately). Here are the first batch of little goodies:

2 yummy soaps (which made the whole package smell wonderful), striped knee highs (be still my heart!), cool little ring of paper which i am going to have to come up with something cool for. A great shorty scarf in a wonderful yellow color (going to get a lot of use, I’m sure), and that metallic fabric. It was left over from Mid Summer Night’s Dream costumes. I love it, and I’m already cooking up ideas for it. Here’s where I started laughing like crazy:


Knitted coat for a chihuahua!!!! Who thinks Buddy needs one of these, LOLOLOLOL. And those tea cozies are something else I’m telling you. She also sent me a cool fifty pence coin, which has the definition of Pence on it from 1755 (Pence is my last name). I love it! I’ve already taken beauty shots of it so I can print one out and scrapbook it. All in all a great mail day. My mom started swatching up some of her yarns and they are gorgeous. I’m going to do some tonight. Thanks again Kay, you’re the best!

Today was all about Jesus. Oh, and Chuck Norris. After our breakfast pie (yum, thanks mom, you are an amazing cook – even with no kitchen!) we went to a family storage unit so I could get some of my things and move them to my own storage unit. It was Brent, Taylor, Bj and I. On the drive Brent was telling us that Chuck Norris was suing NBC over the name Law and Order. And I was like, “what?” he said that was the trademark of Chuck Norris’ right and left legs. The boys started laughing, but I was slow to catch on. So on our stop at Brent’s house they had to look up a ton more of course. Then we all started rolling around like crazy laughing fools. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t get a good picture of Bj laughing because I was shaking the camera. So while I wait for some Modge Podge to dry in the other room, for your pleasure:

-Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

-Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

-Chuck Norris puts the “laughter” in “manslaughter”.

-Chuck Norris has only one hand: the upper hand.

-Water boils faster when Chuck Norris watches it.

-Whenever someone is constipated, doctors send them to Chuck Norris so he can scare the shit out of them.

-Chuck Norris can count to infinity – twice.

-Geico saved 15% by switching to Chuck Norris.

-Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

-The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

-Chuck Norris’ calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; no one fools Chuck Norris.

-Chuck Norris once shot an enemy plane down with his finger, by yelling, “Bang!”

-Chuck Norris’ dog is trained to pick up his own poop because Chuck Norris will not take shit from anyone.

These are so not mine. Just google chuck norris jokes. Hope you had a good laugh.
