I’ve been tagged

Thanks to Chris I’ve been tagged!

Firstly, here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog
2. Share seven facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here we go:

1) I am a sci-fi freak. I love sci-fi. I’d be totally happy if my cable provider only had the sci-fi channel.

2) I have a fetish for yarn and office supplies

3) I love disco and A-Ha

4) Toenails are gross!

5) I’m allergic to nail polish

6)When I was 6, I had to have speech therapy to get rid of my accent

7) I am a lefty but I knit, use scissors, and shoot right handed

look for my 7 tagged people when the baby falls asleep

A new box of stuff arrived yesterday – I ordered it ages ago and forgot about it, so it’s like Christmas in March!

It’s for this sweater:

100purewool – Poison.

9 skeins of this gorgeous stuff.
I’m thinking it will be a tunic top from Drops Designs.

It’s Malabrigo March.

It’s Malabrigo March on the Malabrigo Junkies group of Ravelry and I’m already starting.

My plans so far are:

Violaine top

2 Tudoras

1 Koolhaas

1 Sunday market shawl.

Crazy, great week!

So – I have so many great things to be thankful for this week!

on the Kimmi front – She got 3 teeth, figured out how to climb down the stairs and…

drumroll please…

SHE STARTED WALKING!

She was 9 and a half months yesterday – Megan was 10 months and Kait was 9, so she is just in between them.

That’s pretty exciting.

I got some gorgeous yarn this week – Candy ass from Politically incorrect yarns – gorgeous!

I also got 2 balls of sock yarn from Thank Ewe – very generous balls – over 500 yards. I don’t know what I’m going to do with those yet – maybe not socks.

I also scored a worm wallet at Walmart for only $5 – it’s for storing my knitting needles.

It’s been an all around great week!

A new path

brillohead — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 20:06:03 +0000

I made a big decision yesterday about my path in sobriety.
I know I made the right decision because I am feeling the light of the spirit today – you know the one – the warm fuzzy glow that makes you want to giggle.
I decided ( after talking it through with my sponsor!)that I am going to quit going to my rehab program. It was great for me unti it wasn’t. I have been feeling this week that I am being called to newcomer and H+I work.
I’ve already signed up for teleservice and I’m going to put my name on the sponsor list at the treatment center where I have my sunday morning meetings.

I am so glad that I am one of the lucky “Sometimes Faster” types.

I’m dead…

So… I’m dead. I got killed yesterday by a gorgeous hunter/forest green wool hat. I love it! I also got some flower seeds and a dove pin. Lynette did a great job and is a really sweet person to boot. Too bad she’s an assassin.

She kind of got the short end of the swap for various reasons, and DH suggested that I try to make up for her assassin. I’m thinking of the Irish hiking scarf from helloyarn.com.

I have some really pretty wool blend that is soft and squishy.
