I know, I know...overpromised, again. But I made an Executive Decision not to bore you with too many gory details about the DFW portion of the trip. Here's a quickie:
- The Yarn Harlot's Church of Knitting, and the attendant knitters, were quite fabulous.
- Non-blood Nephew Thomas continues to be the cutest four-year-old on two legs ever.
- DFW IS FRIGGING HOT IN MAY THANK GOD THE HARLOT DIDN'T COME IN JULY OR AUGUST.*
- Yarn crawling with Amy is still a hell of a lot of fun.
- Four-day weekends are a really, really nice refresh.
Tally for the weekend:
- Approximate miles driven: 900
- Books signed by the Yarn Harlot: 2
- Gifts given to the Yarn Harlot: 1
- Cones of Habu laceweight bamboo acquired: 2
- Skeins of Comfort Sock: 2
- Swatches begun and pulled out: 3
- Yarn stores visited: 3
- Best friends hugged: 2
- Free room and board appreciated: you betcha (thanks, Genghis)
- Cats missed: 2
- Husband missed: 1

Realizing that I am already a bit off-kilter with them, and also that I have a very hip Significant Start Date at the ready, both the Photo 52 and the Baking 52 will reset (again), to resume on Monday. By then, my ducks should be much more row-like and my day...far more birthy. :)
And speaking of Monday...I'm going to do my damndest to have a good favor to ask y'all, and something nice to share in gratitude. In the meantime, have an unbelievably stellar weekend, and do something good for yourself!
* Of course I knew this before. I lived up there for 10 years.
About Me
- Plum Texan
- Houston, Texas, United States
- I was born in 1973, married the incomparable TechieBK (aka Bryan) in 2004, and did many things in between and since that are profound, dumb, fun, painful, or random (often all of the above). * I love Texas and being from here. I also love some very specific deep, rich shades of purple. Hence the title (if not the current design). * I enjoy plastic casings with apples on the outside and electronics on the inside. * Food should be loved and respected, but only feared if it's treated improperly. * There is a difference between good writing and good storytelling. Both are elusive...and both are important. * Let it be understood that if all you know about Texas comes from movies or television or rumors, you haven't even scratched the surface...and I'm happy to help you dig deeper.

I is glad that yarn crawling with me is still lots of fun. But I wonder...am I losing my "enabler" touch? Or had you just gotten to the Habu first and my talents were not needed?? ;)
(ps: my security word was undedeat. Which I immediately giggled and thought of zombies.)
