Saffron Surprise!
Posted on | February 1, 2010 | 3 Comments
Hello Internet.
I had an great weekend. I ate. A lot. I overate. I ate grilled cheese, pork belly, a costco hot dog, oatmeal, toast, veggie curry, fancy-pants Salisbury steak, hazelnut mousse, regular steak and party food. I can’t resist party food, if you must know. If it comes in a bowl and there are crackers or bread or chips to accompany it, I will eat it.
I love party food.
After my last post, Ben was very worried that I have sleep apnea. I can assure you that I do not. I am a silent sleeper. Freakishly silent. So silent, my mom used to put a mirror over my face to make sure I was breathing. No sleep apnea. But my deep sleep was interrupted on Thursday night, so, according to K8, that’s where the hangover feeling came from.
It was interrupted for two very good reasons: one is a secret, and one is that Fancyhats wanted to tell me he bowled a 225.
And Friday the mail brought me a skein of Socks That Rock in Saffron Surprise. This is a color I named with Tina, the owner of Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Tina is my favorite dyer so the fact that she took a suggestion from me and let me help with the naming is pretty awesome in my book. The skein she sent was so I could “approve it.” SO I COULD APPROVE TINA’S COLORS!?!?! I’ve kept this skein with me all weekend. It’s like a safety skein, if you will.
I’m going to pair it with some icy silver yarn and make a Daybreak shawl. Because I need more shawls, right?
How was your weekend, internet? Did you eat as much as I did?

You are a famous knitter of shawls, of COURSE you should approve of the color!
And I was very careful with my eating all weekend. AND I STILL GAINED A POUND. And well. That’s it. I’m sick of trying to lose weight.

I ate the drunk fourth meal.
I am considering setting my digestive track on fire and starting all over again.

I ate like an asshole yesterday. I had lemon squares and wine for dinner.
Lemon squares.
And wine.
