Renegade was great! Good times and sunburn was had by all. It was wonderful to see so many people with interesting shoes. What's next for me? Besides 14 hours of sleep? It's etsy time folks. Lots of fun stuff is now in the hands of fun people. But there is some more good things I'll be putting up for grabs, if only so I don't start knitting it up myself.
As always. It was wonderful to see you and I miss you already. To bits.

weekend poem
so quicklyif you would build with wood
a structure where we stood
a shelter with a rail
to hold us should we fail
to take into account
our lives are pouring out
I would bring a cake
for eating while we wait
and water maybe too
for the drinking that we do
then we'd hold onto the rail
until we softly fail
to take into account
this pouring that comes out
so quickly saw you should
put hammer to the wood
I will keep us fed
full of cake and bread
and cups I will bring too
for the pouring that we do

not the most genius at this thing called blog
Yeah. I took a time out. Yeah. I'm blogging from my flickr because actually going to my blog and finding the photo I want and uploading it seems like a mountain of mountainious time. We will all live through this. One day we will look back and laugh.
Yarn! I have just finished my first wholesale order for a new yarn store in Denver! I will plug this yarn store as soon as I get all the info which will be in approximately 3 hours.
What am I doing right now? I am in the middle of roommate interview nonsense. It will be over soon and I will sloooowly come out of my shell and actually blog about stuff.
There are some things I feel the need to tell you.
I have been a negligent friend. You know who you are. Betsy sorry.
I'm obsessed with the new Decemberist album but don't actually plan on owning it.
I love yarn. I would eat it if I didn't think it would make me really really sick.
One more secret secret thing to tell you....
I have a new boyfriend and he's going to make me a drum carder.

the land of the lazy blog
Well, I like this picture, and I feel like writing but I don't feel like writing about this picture.
I should be putting stuff on etsy right now. But it's cold outside and I believe I am wearing my crabby pants. I'm still ruminating on the cough drop question. I'm also so very very close to buying a drum carder of my very own. Oh how I want my very own drum carder, let me count the ways. Well right now there is about 500 dollars of NO DRUMCARDER FOR YOU to be counted.
So this is the deal, I'm selling on etsy specifically to get this drum carder, and maybe a big marble slab to make cough drops on, or maybe fudge, or just cookies. Marble slabs are good for making pie too.
But wait... I have a marble slab. My painting table. Unfortunately it's not 'food friendly' any more.
But wait..... I want a drum carder anyway! All etsy proceeds will not go toward a marble slab, of this you can be sure.

cough drops
Jen and I have been 'facebooking' (is that a real word?) each other this afternoon about cough drops. We've both been stupid ill again. I bought myself an economy bag of halls, and an economy bag of ricola. I decided to not get the sugar free ones because 'sugar free' is a euphemism for 'really weird crap'.
Jen suggest I get sugar free, I demurred and we did a little back and forth about corn syrup -vs aspartame. Then I decided that what the hell, I don't have enough stuff to do. Jen and I should make our own. I just looked on line (for my preliminary research) and didn't see any inspiring recipes then I remembered this book I have.....
I bought this book for two whole dollars at a flea market in Mechanicsburg PA. Mostly because, well, I did Need To Know.
This book is one of the most amazing how to books I have ever seen. It was published in 1885. And copyrighted 1884 A. I.Burt.
One of the most fabulous things about this book is how it's organized. Everything, from 'Putting Out Fires' to 'Tea Cakes for Children' is listed alphabetically.
So for instance, 'how to make a hammock' is listed right next to 'ham, how to cook'. I am not kidding you.
But I digress.
Here's the recipe in this book for how to make cough drops.
Listed under-
Cough Candy (Medicated) ---To five pounds of candy just ready to pour on the slab, add the following mixture, and form it into sticks. Tincture squills, two ounces; camphorated tincture of opium and tincutre of tolu, of each one-half ounce; wine of ipecac, one-half ounce; oils of gaultheria, four drops; sassafras, three drops; and of anise seed oil, two drops, and use this freely in common coughs.
What do you think?

Tomorrow. Tonight I've been interviewing roommates. I'll be interviewing more again tomorrow, but I'll have more down time. Sigh. 'Kay. goodnight.

since I mentioned the 'p' word I started writing it again
What in hell's name is wrong with me. To be kind to myself I can say -at least I was working on something. Now I'm writing poetry. I guess it's kind of a backlash for not doing music right now. I'm also concerned that I'm going to appear facetious because now I'm going to subject you to it. Just, please, don't read it out loud.
(part I)
you've been lazy
and haven't realized
I've been waiting
a cold fingered violinist
had to start the show
while you stood stage right
hand over heart
crumbs down your shirt
(part II)
skinning your bees
like pebbles for sale
an edible wax
choking hazard
they point at things
while I wait in line
for the toilet
your ability
to be distracted
is unpronounceable
you are a boat with shoes
I am full of water
(the charm)
There is no 3rd time
I leave my skin in the sink
and go out
the way I came in
