Good - no, GREAT mail!
The highlight of my weekend was getting the mail on Saturday and finding a package from Carole:
I won a contest/quiz at her blog a while back and this was my prize - a skein of Cherry Tree Hill and two candy bars (*cough* yes, there seems to be only one in the picture…). Amazingly enough, Carole sent the one skein of yarn in existence that has brought RR to the point of actually voicing a wish for socks. I’m stunned. Almost speechless, even. Almost.
Thank you, Carole!!
Also, we were catching up on some Law & Order watching this evening - did anyone else notice that Cary Elwes (aka Wesley) was on L&O SVU a week or so ago? How cool is that?
…and I’d like to share the teen observation of the day:
When asked to start the El Camino: “uhmmm…how do I do that? I mean, it’s OLD!” (It’s a late 1970-something. RR started to tell her it was a hand crank but she wasn’t getting it…)

I’m glad you liked the package.

That is a nice package! I still have yet to knit with CTH. Looks yummy. Love your new layout!

Hmm… Very nice haul! I may just have to include some CTH as one of my prizes. (Drool) Oh how Cary Elwes brings that touch of lust out of some of us. Btw, tell her that it’s not an El Camino, it’s a Subaru Brat…

I think that I’m working on socks in that very colorway right now!

Love that yarn - isn’t it fun to win a contest?
Cary Elwes was on SVU? Darn, gave up watching too soon.

That yarn is gorgeous. I really need to try that!

Pretty yarn!

That look like a great package.

What a lovely package. I love Cary Elwes. Even when he plays a creepy guy like in Kiss the Girls.

Moody Blues! What’s not to like? I have 3 skeins just lounging around.
WhatEVER could have happened to the chocolate bar?
Yup. You NEVER win anything! LOL!

Gosh, that is purty yarn. It’s good you won that contest, what with you running low on sock yarn, and all
February 21st, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Oooo, Cary Elwes… I loved him!
February 21st, 2007 at 6:10 pm
Hey–happy blogiversary! How’d I miss that?
So, is RR going to get the CTH as socks?

Oooo. Lovely. I was looking at some Cherry Tree Hill last night at my LYS (which is now in a dangerous location…on my way home from work). They didn’t have a color that I was in love with enough to spend the money. They had a lot with black, and I was looking for more springy. Heh heh. Love that one you got though, it is a great color.
