This is that google “___ needs” going around. Anna’s was the one that pushed me over the edge. I think my name has some weird shit attached to it, no?

This is going to be one of those random ass posts….

First off, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your comments on my cardi. I’m so glad you all love it as much as I do! I’m not giving it a bath since I won’t be taking it off this weekend, and well, I’ll need something bright and cheery to help identify me when I’m floating down the roaring river that used to be the Fairgrounds. What a crappy weekend this is shaping up to be! Weather wise that is.

I have to admit though, I’m getting all anticipatory anxiety-ish about it. I’m excited to see everyone, but I hate leaving my home base. What if I go crazy?! What if I need to go home? What if I ruin everyone’s fun time because I’m crazy and I need to go home? These are the things I think about, you know, just in case I’m not feeling crazy enough. I will have drugs with me – so don’t laugh if I seem a little stoned and too happy to see you. And no, I won’t have enough for everyone. 😉

MY FEET WON! Over at Mim’s. She’s got a great post on feet and the body in general, so check it out! Thanks Mim!

I got a package from my BETTER PAL yesterday! YAY BP! You always know how to brighten my day. This package is ALL local. My pal is from Norway (I’m just betting she’s tall and blonde and gorgeous!) and it’s like getting presents from a far away fairy land!

Look! She wrapped everything in shades of red! My new favorite color!

Sock yarn made in Norway! Norwegian Addi Turbos – oo la la! Super cool coasters with hearts and sheep and a bunny that totally reminds me of these guys! But best of all – GUMMY CANDY! They’re called Laban Seigdamer which I’m pretty sure translates to Jelly Ladies. They’re very good – not sour like I thought they might be and I ate half the bag before I realized a very, very important feature of these ladies. THEY HAVE BOOBIES!!!!!!

How freaking funny is that? G came home late last night and I immediately yelled to him from the bedroom – look at the candies from Norway! They have boobs! Thank you Better Pal for knowing me so well. I did not eat all the candy yesterday, but saved some for today. And the sock yarn, well, right on the money because I just signed up for Lolly’s Socktoberfest and have been thinking about socks. And you know how I hate DPNs. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to really meet you!

Speaking of socks and secret pals, I still haven’t received socks or any communication at all from my Sockapaltwoza sock pal. I’ve given up and you know what – I’m okay with that. No bitterness here because I really, really enjoyed making my sock pal socks for Leslie and by all accounts she loved them and that’s enough for me. I do, though, feel really bad for Alison. The amount of work that must have gone into such a huge endeavor! She says that about 20% of the people who’ve signed up have flaked out. Too many for her. I left a comment on her blog yesterday, but I’d like to say again – I’m right there for SockapalTHREEza. Socks or no socks, I had a good time, which in my book, is all that counts. What I don’t understand is if you’ve signed up for this thing and realize that you can’t hold up your end of the bargain for whatever reason – why not bow out gracefully? Apparently there are many people who signed up and have just disappeared. Why?

Isn’t this funny? My sister was shopping yesterday and found these Jolie Raviolis. Her name is Jolie, which is pretty unusual, so whenever any of us finds something with her name on it, we sort of have to buy it. The kids loved them!

It’s STILL freaking raining. I was supposed to run yesterday. Didn’t. Don’t think I’m going to today either. I’ve been on a very good run (pun absolutely intended) and I hate to stop now but I just can’t do the treadmill. And it’s pouring. If it was drizzling I’d like to think I’d go out, but pouring no.

Yesterday I upgraded my Movable Type software with the hopes of combatting the spam I’ve been getting. Since I’ve upgraded, I’ve gotten 179 spam comments. In like an hour. I’m just saying.

Have a great day!
