Butts with building permits and abdomens with their own zip codes - this is what it comes down to as we approach 50? Who says this is so great? May I strangle them, please? I assure you, I have been wearing clothes that don't match whenever I want to since my salad days, so don't think you're luring me with that one, world...
Anyway, I did think you knittin gfolks would be interested in some of the rest of the yarn I remembered having...
Like the Brilliance I bought for the Wren that never got longer than an inch
And the Zen I bought which has yet to even be swatched
And something else I have 19 or 20 balls each of a beige and a pale yellow, for that cabled Berroco sweater...
And then, of course, the 48 or so little balls of some kind of cotton boucle in chartreuse.
Three or four large men's cotton sweaters I have frogged for the yarn...
A bag and a half of jade green cotton somewhere around worsted weight.
Enough of this linneny thing mixed with wool or something that I bought years and years ago to make a summer top out of only it never got made and is probably all still in there.
Oh, yeah - the brown stuff that I started a shrug with, only Chris made the shrug and it wasn't worth it so I stopped...
And I think I have a sort of dark pink with darker pink, also dk...
We are not counting the sweater I knit in like 1995 which is all done except for being put together, and except for that I lost the sleeves...
But now onto the flu...
As you may or may not realize, where I live is under seige to at least some small degree. Schools are being closed. An assistant principal has died. The mayor is making at least daily public statements. There is news truck out at the county jail where the union is complaining about it...
And here I sit with one kid under six and one with what they like to call "An underlying medical condition" wondering if I should leave town, or stay put.

Hey.
I bought my DMIL 20 bottles of anti-bac spendy soap for Mother's Day, because she spends so much time at church. I told her take what you want, and the rest goes to the church, in hopes that she would stay healthier.
It apparently worked, because the same week it came was the week they reopened area schools here.
So just go buy a ridiculous amount of soap. And the Zen is really pretty knitted up. I am going to the treadmill NOW....
......as for the flu, T, my DD is a nurse in emerg and was exposed to a patient who was later diagnosed with the H1N1. She wanted to attend a family gathering but didn't want to expose us so phoned the smart people to see if she could be around us. They told her that as long as she was not symptomatic, she was fine. So stay put and watch who comes into your house! A friend was just in Oz and at the airport they all had to walk through something which checked their temp. Those who were "hot" were checked out!
Fingers crossed for you!
