I don’t know if you have Eddy’s ice cream in your area but they have a line of ice cream out featuring mashed up Girl Scout cookies. Um…yum!!! I’m working my way through a quart of Thin Mint. Um…yum again!

Bad news: My grumpy calico peed on some laundry I had put on the floor mid-week last week.
Good news: The laundry was dirty anyway, and I was able to spend a few quiet hours at the laundromat on Saturday.

Bad news: I just found out about a a minor work issue/miscommunication.
Good news: It seems like it will be easy to resolve.

Better news: Now it’s Wednesday, I claimed some yarn on Ravelry which I’ve been wanting for a long, long time, and this afternoon/early evening, I get to poke my head into an LYS to see if I can get some “really Philly” yarn for a surprise swap. Mmm, yarn makes everything better, even if I’m mailing some of it to someone else!

I got my sock club on Friday, which made up for a lot of things.

Like you, this Monday screamed Monday in so many ways that I spent the entire evening mopey. Conveniently I did my moping in the bedroom where my bad mood didn’t have to affect anyone else. I also read a book, which helped immensely.

I am hoping that the rest of this week is pretty much even keel. The ups and downs of a mixed week (good and bad) are somehow harder to deal with than a week that is all bad if that makes any sense.

Great news: after two weeks of wretched snow/rain/fog/freezing rain/snow/sleet/rain/blech, we had gorgeous warm(ish — 50 is a lot better than 30) sunny weather all weekend.
Good news: I got six loads of laundry done.
Bad news: There is still laundry in waiting (but not all that much).

Good news: I made good progress on making giant pompoms for props for my daughter’s school musical.
Bad news: I still have to make about eight more pompoms.

Not News: Some proprietors of online yarn emporia are insufferably coy. Not that I have anyone specific in mind or anything.

Bad News: Hubby was supposed to have friday off, but since he has to work, we had to cancel our financial planner meeting.

Good News: The reason he has to work is because he’s on a firing range which lasts 2 weeks…Which means next week he isn’t going on ship for 10 days!!! WOooo *happy dance*

Bad News: I exploded a cock pot yesterday and wine laced flames shot up towards my ceiling.
Good News: No one or thing (other than the crock pot) was hurt. I’m trying the recipe again (Beef Brisket in a Chanti marinade) but instead of cooking it in the crock pot over the stove, I’m going to cook it the old fashion way. (SO I guess the good news is I refuse failure!)

And Doubly Good News: I applied for College graduation!!! It’s officially in the fall, but I am walking this Spring! YEA YEA YEA!

Good News – I leave on Thursday for Jefferson City, MO to the Lincoln University Fiber Retreat. This years theme is spinning
Bad News – I plied all my bobbins over the weekend, completely forgeting that I have a class on Plying and Finishing Yarns. My class list came and I need to have spun singles. Guess what I’m doing tonight, not finishing my socks.
