That was our day yesterday, well, The Husband's day, mostly. He is trying to imagine what it will be like to actually MOVE all of this stuff that he "needs" and I am envisioning it living it at someone else's house! The Daughter is threatening to turn him in to that cable TV show where they bust you for having too much stuff and then make you rid yourself of it. I do that on a regular basis with myself, whenever there is a stressful moment, I go through things and weed...not The Husband...NOPE. He is a professional packrat and so that is why I am ever so proud of him for making two piles yesterday, one for today's curb (useable stuff) and tomorrow's, which is the day for C R A Double Pea. I feel like mimicing one of those high haired preachers...Yessss suh! Can I get an Amen! Well, I'll give you an amen with a little a...a start, a crack in the "don't open the garage door" collection process. The poor guy...he wants to have a woodworking shop and what with show material, Dye-raj and general storage, he doesn't have a chance, which is why we need to get the rock outta here. Don't you think?
Stuff making it to the curb and what happens? My favorite mustachio'd, brown shorts wearing, dog cookie wielding dude drives up to the house...here comes the dolly...three, three huge boxes of you know what coming to the 'works. Yup...the C R A P goes out and the vacuum is filled with yarn. I think that is a good thing, don't you?
I think that there must be little birds tweeting to one another out there because certain kinds of yarn are moving, and in certain colors, which leads me to believe that there is a Psst round robin going on. I hear that Miss Wendy is having a lace hoo hah, which is inspiring a lot of people to pick up weensy yarn and give it a try. Very nice, very nice...I just did a Psst in the ear of my yarn guy and in a week I will NO LONGER BE OUT of it. (last skein just threw itself into a pot a few minutes ago)
I promise pictures of stuff tomorrow. I am just up to my armpits in ideas and work and so the camera is resting.
Thanks to all of the well wishers on this whole change of life change of living thing. It is exciting and scary but full of wonderful possibilities. I want to be closer to The Grandfetus and will have that opportunity. Oh yeah , speaking of the GF and his/her Mama...wow, I saw the pooch yesterday and it is indeed poochier than last week. She said that she is feeling her hips loosening today. Hahahaha...that's what she gets for being NARROW, I tell ya...gotta work on them child bearin' hips for December!
Sky Drama in the Calaveras shawl pattern is humming along. It was almost enough to make my friend John take up knitting today, I wanted you to know. Gorgeous.

Well, what can i say......!*ROFL* Fair enough...Rob get some stuff cleaned out, and you get more yarn.....FAIR!*LOL*

I think that it is fair, since that yarn is COMMERCE but there is still the wisp of a tear from The Husband over the things now lost to two days of trucks and men in jumpsuits throwing his treasures aboard. I feel for him, I really do...now we just have to find a property with room for Mom, a dye studio, a woodworking shop and a model train layout room. Tall order my friends, tall order. It's funny how one can start looking longingly at never before noticed TV commercials for "metal buildings put up on your property". Gonna be a cow-boyyyy.
