Hang in There

Spring has sprung and it is glorious.

For my little red haired friend who lives in the frozen tundra that would be you Wendy...

I am off to do Bluebooby things:

1.  Spend 5 hours in the car...Boo.

2.  See Emily...Yay!

3.  Spend 5 hours in the car...Boo.

4.  Charleston for 3 days...Yay!

5.  Spend 5 hours in the car...Boo.

What the hell are we going to talk about for 15 hours?!

Soon. Very Soon.

Time to get our pastey white butts ready...Game of Thrones baby.

Dyeing over here

Yes, I actually got something accomplished recently.

After going to three different stores, workin' hard, I found RIT Dye.  But of course they were out of navy (damn it) so I did a quick pick between shit brown and dark green.

 My blouse with the mystery stains.

For those that may do this, TIP...put gloves on before you open the packet.

I decided to do the stock pot method.

Hot water, dye, blouse, stir constantly for thirty minutes.

Ta Da

it came out a nice shade of dark green.  Dyed the blouse but not the thread.

Or the zipper.  Bit disappointed in that, but I'll never see it when I have it on.  I did remove the thread and tag by the zip.

Finished project.  Not sure what that is above my right boob but it came out perfectly.

And I was just going to throw it away.  Pat on the back for me.  Now I do not have to even wear a cami underneath.  

And now since I am channelling Martha Stewart...

If your tulips are starting to wane, gently fold back the petals and you'll get a bit more time with them.  See below:

I am stuck inside this week end...it's suppose to rain anyways...because I just had my face burned this morning.  Something called Photodynamic Therapy.  It's to help get rid of AK's (Actinic Kerotosis).  I have also treated my hands and forearms with some kind of cream.  They look like they have been repeatedly dragged on asphalt.  I have been told my face will not be nearly as bad and healed in a week.  I sure hope so.  So, since my week end will suck, hope you have a great one!  Off to kill the pain with some wine.

Well Hello There

Look what I found this morning outside my garage:

Screw wildlife...I have farm animals at my door.

I fed them apples.  neighbor should come get them soon.

Eleven

My sister is coming, my sister is coming...Yeah!

She and her husband will be visiting from Florida (they are bringing the snow with them) next week. They will be staying with the old folks so I will probably not get much "alone" time with her.  But it's still going to be great.

Tyler, Leesa, and Emily

The following week Mr. H and I are going to visit Emily...Yeah!  Then go to Charleston for a few days of retoxicating my body.

The lovely Miss Em

So I thought I'd put out my 11 random facts about moi before I got too busy.

1.  I used to have the ability to say any word backwards.  Have not done this for ages, not sure why I even used to do this.

2.  I worked in the drive through of the very first McDonald's in Destin, FL when I was in high school.  This was during the time of "Where's the Beef?"  from Wendy's Hamburger so that is what I heard over, and over, and over...

3.  I was baptized with Tyler when he was a babe and I was 28.

4.  I cuss like a sailor.  I guess I write like one too.  I really do try to tone it down.  Oh, and I guess I have now passed this trait down to my daughter.

5.  I have a dog, Minnie, who is scared of the camera, the stapler, and her own farts if they make any noise.

6.  I can only sleep laying down.  No fear of falling asleep at the wheel.

7.  I have been "flashed" by three separate strange men.  The first was repeatedly while a neighbor and I walked to school in the 8th grade.  Took them several months to catch him.  The second was at a grocery store parking lot while I was in college.  And, what hopefully will be the last, was many years ago after dropping my kids off at Mother's Day Out.  Driving down the road at 9:00 AM, stopped at a light, movement in the car next to me, Good God...phone to the cops..

Me:  Hi, I'm driving down the road and a guy in the next car is beating off.

Cop:  He's beating who?  Are they in danger?

Me:  No, he is masturbating.

Cop:  Oh.

8.  I really do not get embarrassed.  Between my dad and Hunter it is just better not to.

9.  I can not put new staples in a stapler without jamming them and breaking the stapler.  I just switch it out with Hunter's.  He miraculously fixes it and never says a thing.

10.  I hate Miami.  Lived there.  Hate it.  Hate it.  Hate it.

11.  I can only snap my fingers with my left hand.


Well, there you have it.  I could go on and on...

Neutral Spring

Poetry Fashion Cashmere Sweater

Poetry Crew Neck Cashmere Sweater Size M, Frosted Blue

On Model:

On Me:

Sorry, not the clearest of shots.

Close ups:

It is a very pretty sweater.  Light weight for our early spring but will probably work better 

for our fall and winter.  I do feel the color is misrepresented on line and in catalogs. 

 I wanted it a tad brighter.

Sitting on top of heather and dove grey sweaters.

It took roughly two weeks from the time I placed my order until my mail lady threw it on the

 ground next to my mailbox.  I hate my mail lady.  Strong words but geez.  

I have worn twice.  It is soft and warm.  A bit swingy at the bottom but definitely not the 

"is she, is she not pregnant" look that seems to be popular.  By feel it is definitely a 

shorter cut cashmere and therefor should wear very well.

I like/not love and will most likely not purchase from Poetry again.  

If I am ever in England and I see a store, I would wonder in for a peak.

And finally...

The greatest facial expression ever caught on camera:
