Why do I get letters for please donate $5.00 to our silent auction. Yes, $5.00 isn't much, but what about the people who have 3 kids? Please buy books from our book club...I now get 5 pamphlets, almost every other month. They sell DS and gameboy games. This is beyond stupid. What happened to the $0.99 books? Why are they selling entire 29 book series now for just $29.99!
So, please, someone explain what happened to the ability to knit a potholder and donate it to your kid's class silent auction basket? My kid's basket last year...consisted of and i-pod!!!
WTF??!!!
An i-pod AND a $75.00 itunes certificate...it may have been $50.00...am I the only one who thinks that that is COMPLETELY insane???
I'll make a scarf, I'll make a dishrag...I'll teach someone how to knit. But buy an ipod??? I can't afford to get one for my kid. Oh, and last year she was only in the first grade people. Yes, I believe that a bunch of 7 year old kids thought of an ipod. What kind of fool does this overpresumptious, popularity contest, mom think?!
(apology to the presumptious...well, sort of)
Oh not to mention the 2 snacks a day my kid gets. America is overweight...I wonder why...is it possible because we're feeding our children snack stuff from a box twice a day so that by the time I get them home and put some veggies into them they turn their noses and make gagging sounds? Yea, super.
My ex mother-in-law sent me roving. For fixing her computer that either of her sons are too lazy to help her fix.My *boyfriend* and I have assisted her with fixes around her house. This boggles my mind...
My EX mother-in-law...sends me items because I help and I keep in touch. Fascinating when families fall apart. Sad really. I don't understand why people do this to themselves really.
I have friends doing this to each other right now, and I just can't figure out the motivation.
It's beautiful though. I was totally surprised. It's a complicated story. But it was a very sweet thought.
I've finished the roving from Pagosa Springs. Turned out pretty good I must say. But it bleeds a lot when washed. I added vinegar and let soak, but it still ran.(heh, the gloves remind me of Dexter's Laboratory.)
It's still drying. 10oz of fluff!
Not too bad eh? I <3>

Heh...your ex-mother-in-law paid me $50 to look up a man's kilt once. There may have been drinking involved. (She also asked her youngest "You left HER for Christine? Are you INSANE?" instantly endearing herself to me.)
Pretty, pretty yarn! How're you liking the wheel?
