Where did the week go? o.0
These long bank holidays need to stop NOW. Someone somewhere in blogland, though I don't recall who mentioned that these short weeks felt longer than the regular weeks. I think they (whoever the heck they were) were onto something. I am beat. Put me in a coffin and tell everyone with a grudge against me it's dancing time.
I did have a good week though. I think. *squints* From what I can remember of it that is.
Yesterday I had a BLAST. :D Nearly killed myself but it was super fun.
I went swimming. YAY! Otters love to swim ya know. ;^)
Sore as heck today though. *L*
I also got to hang out with some faboo knitters last night. Always a good time.
Anyways so it's Friday and that means cool unexpected pictures... or something. It's candy it can be any flavor you want. :P
Oddly I have Ohio Flavored Candy. I don't even want to guess what that tastes like. Ann Care to hazard a guess? Hehe.
Here's a weird ass tree my brother and I found one evening when we were looking for a cool place to grab a few drinks. Did not find it on this street even though it was so ripe with promise as the tree surely shows.
Weird huh. Yup. I never had a tree scowl at me before like that. o.0
Here's some art that fell out of the sky perfectly on this spot in Ohio. I figure alien's were trying to give the place some culture. (clickety biggety)
Ohio it's a weird place. Oh and yeah Ann and I are going to get together in a few weeks. (I really should email her the details. *L*) Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!
In other news I have gotten some kick ass mail this week. *winks @ Dave & Scout* Thankies! More on alls that laterz. ;^)
Oh! Y'all need to go check out Scout's Blog post from yesterday. Check out the new Cookie Colorway. *GRIN*
Finally I wanna show y'all some awesome hand knit gifties I received over the winter holiday season from Cookie. Thankies Sweetie!! Best kind of Eye Candy for a Friday if you ask me.
Here are the Cabin Cove Alpaca Fetchings that Cookie knit for me. (clickety biggety)
I have no idea how I lived without these things. I'm serious. Fingerless mitts have made a huge difference in my ability to not freeze my ass off and still be able to type, knit and a million other things. :D LOVE THEM MUCHLY. Plus they kick major ass.
Next up are the socks Cookie knit me out of Knit Picks Sock Garden in the colorway Hydrangea. SOOOOOOOO comfy. I love wearing handknit socks. You just feel all special and like your floating on air.
My feetsies never got cold, over hot or weird and I wore them in shoes for about 15 hours last Saturday. (I was out all day long and it was a VERY cold day.)
In fact last Saturday I was out wearing 4 Handknit Items. These new Cookie Socks, Cookie Alpaca Fetchings, Hatty the Hat and the pink and white Irish Hiking Scarf. :D
Well that's the photos and the start of another weekend. I hope to have lots of knitting. Even if it means finishing up that damn Noro Scarf. I hate it SO MUCH. I got a splinter from it Wednesday night. o.0
I've got an extra skein if someone wants to make a trade. Rumor has it there are some people out there that actually like the stuff. *L*
Wheeeeeeee!
I fetchings (I think that's officially a new word, by the way) look great! I'm glad you are being spoiled with handknit goodies, Otter. Very cool. The scowling tree is a bit skeery, I must confess. :-p

Yo u are a very widely traveled otter. And your tootsies look great covered in some hand-knit socks.

You've become such a knitting goddess. And the fetchings and socks are so cool. Isn't it nice to have osmeone knit for you?

What nice friends you have, knitting you such lovely things! You are very lucky indeed.
I just noticed you made a button for me in the sidebar. Very nice. I like it much!

I've never had a tree scowl at me, but it sounds like your Noro is scowling at you. Bad Noro.
That Cookie is one nice friend. Nice spoilage. Have a great weekend.

I'm the one that's spoiled. *L*
You get to see Ann?! You have to hug her till she squeeks for me!

Oh, I forgot. The Ohio flavored candy? Does it taste like either sunflowers or potatoes?
Oh, wait. Maybe candy corn?
Posted by: Dave Daniels | January 20, 2007 at 09:45 AM
Ohio flavored candy..of course that tastes like Buckeyes to you silly non-cornfield people. Of course after the embarassing national championship game most people are barely whispering buckeyes these days.
KO..2007 is going to be the year we finally meet..and make Cookie and all extremely jealous...except for Squid, she's already met me.

You get to meet Ann??? Ann gets to meet you???? Two very lucky people, I think!
