I went out to Boerne today with Alicia and visited the Kid n' Ewe festival at the Kendall County Fairgrounds. We lost our freaking minds with all the great fiber and yarn to buy, but managed to come out okay, I think. Pictures now in album on MySpace :~) I have like $20 for the next week, but that's okay. I have yarn and needles to keep me happy among other things ;~) I should have gotten some brushed mohair...

Speaking of mohair, today was the day they were showing goats. Angora... soft lovely goodness I'm nowhere near talented enough to spin just yet, as the fiber has NO tooth. Mohair on the other hand... I can do, just haven't :~P We also got to pet some cashmere bunnies. Bunnies kind of freak me out becuase they're so nervous and nowhere near emotional like cats or dogs. We met a sweet, calmer one named Murphy that was a beautiful gray with a mixed coat style, being half French and half English. Wanted to take home with me for a couple reasons ;~) Alicia swears I need a farm... tackling llamas to shave down and spinning fur straight from bunnies :~P Maybe someday :~) Ran into a couple friends and think that with my improved disposition, I might get back to my knitting and spinning groups. I kinda miss having people that are equally retarded for fiber to talk to. Alicia, Kellie and I need to start doing a group knit night or something on the side, too.

Anyway, on the note of Alicia, she's starts a new job on Monday— best of luck. Yet another proofer off into the wild for a good reason. I'm glad that's happening. I'm sad that Jenny, one of our administrative assistants is leaving. Crappy me was supposed to go out to Wurstfest tonight with her and a group of other coworkers, but for some reason, I'm just way too tired. And I'm a little hurt from Kid n' Ewe :~P

I need to send in the money for my ticket too.. might as well have just tossed the money straight out my car window, but hey, I don't think I'll need this lesson again. I don't remember my ticket in Travis County costing anywhere near this much, but oh well. I tuckered myself out further cleaning up my side of the house, and I still have more work to do... Anyone know how to get rid of stains in a ridiculously porous ceramic toilet? :~P

You forgot the goat fight :P Also, I'm sooooo glad I didn't see the easy flames scarf until after I got home. That would have been another hank of gorgeous that I needed to spend money on. Let me know if you guys ever decided to have purl and hurl sessions. :D

I had an awesome time yesterday, thanks again for the invite!

Also, if the stains are in the bowl of the toilet, pour a can of Coke in there and let it sit overnight. Worked for me.
