Jennah said I had to update. She threatened me with bodily harm. She’s also slowly beating me down into changing my layout which I’m ready to do but I’m also too lazy and picky to do it quickly

Um, I have to get the kids ready for bed so I’ll just share some most excellent news/plans. For my birthday this year I plan to use money from this next TLE wholesale order to fly the most fabulous Jennah out here to visit me!! Yay! We’ve known each other online for about 5-6 years now, it’s about goddamn time we met! And I’m flying her out here as opposed to flying out there myself because I’m selfish and I don’t want to put my fat ass on a plane We are aiming for late Sept or sometime in Oct if all our schedules and flight cost permit. yay, I really could not be more excited, I heart Jennah!

I’m watching Animal Planet with Anna. She loves animals. Her current favorite game is baby kitty or baby monkey. Anyway, we are watching Animal Planet and they show a crocodile and she’s all excited then they show some wildebeest and she’s mad “hey! get outta water!” then the crocodile snaps up and nabs a wildebeest and drags it into the water. The whole time Anna was just starring wide mouthed. Then she turns to me and says, “crocodile give boo-boo.” Almost like, “I told those dumb animals to get out of that water.” They show some more assorted animals then they show a snake and Anna’s happy, “Nake! Nake! Ssssssss” then the show some sort of mouse like thing and she’s looking like “hey where’d that snake go” when the snake pops out and eats the mouse thing. Anna put her hands on her hips and yelled, “Nake! Whatmater wit you?! No mouse!”

She’s fun.

mama’s got a new toy! And no yarn to wind other than odds and ends I might tie together and put in the On Sale section… we’ll see…

Ball and Skein Electric Skein Winder

Anna now gives her faces hair, heh, they look like Terrance and Philip from south park. Anyway, she drew the one in the middle, called it mommy, drew herself on the right, then drew Eli on the left. She then freaked out that there was no room for Daddy so she “Draw big head daddy” she drew him around me lol.

Last night I had a dream that I was gonna cheat on Ben. I’ve never to my knowledge had a dream about cheating on Ben. Usually I, and I know this sounds lame to some, dream of Ben in sex dreams and if I dream about someone else (say Gary Oldman mmmmm) I’m never married. But last night in my dream I clearly thought, “Ben will never know and it’s just this once.” and I proceeded to seduce Doug Wilson (from Trading Spaces, is he even on that show anymore I haven’t watched in years so it’s odd, my seduction is of him). I wont be graphic, but lets say about half way through I was attacked and mauled by tigers. What the fuck? Tigers? How did tigers get into his house? That dream guilt/karma sure is rough.

Today Perfect Day Yarns has made it’s debut at The Loopy Ewe

The other day Anna asked me, “What sounds does..uummm *smacks lips*.. couch make?” I love how she asks, there’s always a pause, an um, and a smacking of the lips before she decides what to ask. She also asked what sound does pizza make and what sound does chicken nuggets make.

I drove up to Toledo last week for a little visit, I hung out with SarahLou, the Karen’s, Yarn Haven (now Yarn Cravin in Perrysburg) gals, had dinner, saw the new Indiana Jones (it was just me and Sarah in the theater most the time, she’s a knitting superstar, she knit a clapotis repeat and I managed to drop a stitch in a stockinette sock, ha) and just hung out for a bit with Mary. Despite the embarrassing shyness I had fun I just hope I didn’t bore anyone to death!

Anna is really big on the “what sounds does a …” make. Lately though she wants to know what sounds things that don’t make sound make. Her big one? “What sound does sock make?” So, what the hell sound does a sock make?
