Because it is Monday and I am feeling a great lack of creativity in regards to my blog entry I will respond to recentish comments.<\/p>\n
Thank you again to those who commented on my pity party a week and a half ago. It was a craptastic week, and that Friday was the end of it.<\/p>\n
Thank you to Kathy in San Jose, Lu<\/a>, and Julie<\/a> for their compliments on a finally finished and actually photographed Birch.<\/p>\n To Peggy<\/a>, Kimberli<\/a>, and Alyx<\/a>… If I can ever remember what possessed me to do that to my poor hair (scorching it with the curling iron then gluing it in place with a shitload of hairspray) I’ll let you know. I’m sure it seemed a good idea at the time, just like the scrunchy socks (We folded our pants — fold the leg over to make it tight against your leg, then fold it up twice to hold in place — instead of pulling the socks over the leg… at least it came in handy come winter… made it harder for the wid to get up your pants leg). <\/p>\n To Rabbitch<\/a>, I think I used only a fraction of the hairspray my classmates used. You could walk into the girls changing room after gym and there would be a fog of hairspray hanging from the ceiling. I knew girls who carried gigantic bags just so they could bring a full sized can of Aquanet with them wherever they went. What’s amazing is that there weren’t more horrible hair fire incidents as all these girls took up smoking in high school.<\/p>\n To my anonymous commenter (who I think is Erin), I will try to not be worried that I will be stalked now because you find my hair horror adorable and just say mmmm… Johnny Depp. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n To Denise<\/a>, I do hope you can whip your husband into shape and have him get your bike running. My scooter has a top speed of 55, too… although I did get it up to 60 one day with a good tailwind; of course, that tailwind turned into a headwind on the way back that didn’t let me get over 45 with the throttle opened all the way. *sigh*<\/p>\n To Erin, I am so glad you liked the book (for other readers, I finally was able to get a copy of At Knit’s End to my friend that I had gotten signed for her at Stephanie’s stop in Berkeley). \ud83d\ude42 Definitely no more accidents (hopefully)… the class I’m taking is the Motorcycle Safety Training given by the DMV and the CHP. We’ve learned all sorts of interesting safety stuff so far, even good enough to make the blister on my thumb worthwhile (definitely not used to riding a bike for 4 hours straight — ow). Your boss sucks. Yea for lace! Just remember if the item you’re knitting can pass the galloping horse test there are no mistakes… otherwise, they’re design features. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Because it is Monday and I am feeling a great lack of creativity in regards to my blog entry I will respond to recentish comments.
