Bye bye, Pirate!
God bless FedEx 2nd day air, people. That is all I have to say. Last week, I went in for my eye exam. I got my new prescription, and decided that it would be more cost effective for me to order from 1800Contacts. So, I get home, and the contacts feel fine for the first 2 days. Saturday, my friend Liz and I went on a shopping excursion, and all of a sudden I felt like I had big gunk in my eye. I cleaned the contacts like 3 times, but they still felt odd. Sunday, I went to see The Breakup with my friends Liz and V, and cried my eyes out at the end (just broke it off with the boyfriend of 8 months, and I swear to god they stole parts of my life for this movie). I get to my car, and feel like I've got a stick in my eye. When I get home and let the dog out, I go take the contacts out, put my glasses on the coffee table, and take a nap. I wake up and the dog has chewed the end of one of the arms of my glasses. 
Nice. Then, Monday morning when I go to put my contacts in, I realize what the problem is. The right contact is torn. What the F??? So I've been a little ghetto in the eyesight department. But I came home from the gym to a box of new contacts--Yay!!!

this is ridiculous!
I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. Inexcusable. Now, granted, life was REALLY crazy at the end of the school year for me, but that is still no excuse...
I have been busy, though. Unfortunately, I've not been busy with the Somewhat Cowl. I'm really not motivated to finish this item at this time. Literally, all I have to do is sew down the collar and I. Can't. Do. It.
Here's the rundown of what I've done instead:
I read Skinny Dip (by Carl Hiaasen) for a book club.
I started another one skein wonder. Cotton Fleece, Rue and Truffle. The ribbing will be in Truffle. 
I finished the Preteen Girl Dream Halter (Cotton Fleece, some victorian pink or something, with Stacy Charles Poppy), which may be too short. I'm thinking that if I get a thin orange cotton halter, I can layer like the middle schoolers do, which will solve all problems. 
I've started Orangina. Cotton Fine, truffle. Can you tell that A) I love Brown Sheep Cotton, and B) I need someone to make me stop using brown?
