Look what my Saucy Pal sent me!

I'm a lucky gal, I received my Saucy Spring Swap package just a bit ago. I had just written about wondering when I'd get my package, and there it was. My Mamacita teased me because the mailman brought her a couple packages and she teased that it must be for me b/c she thinks I spend too much on getting packages. Ya, well, I may, but I don't go to Marshall's every day and spend money and it's kind of the same thing. So anyway...I got the package and knew it was from my Pal and could tell her, that this was a GIFT, a swap, and I didn't order anything. So there.

My package came from Lisa in Washington and I cannot find a link to a blog, so sorry about that. Look what she sent me.


The socks are just lovely and they fit perfectly. She also sent a Mary Engelbreit writing pad and some french vanilla soap. The knitting is lovely and I love the colors. Thank you Lisa!

I express my emotions in joyous, positive ways.

Manic Mondayby the Bangles

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

*It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
An I-don't-have-to-run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn't make it on time

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
When the bus is already there

CHORUS

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

Did you know that Prince wrote that song? I heard that today on the radio. I like Prince, he's an odd little guy, but I like his music and he's a musical genius in my never to be humble opinion. Anyway, Monday's usually are great days for me, it just feels good, like a new beginning, to start anew. Rarely do I have a manic monday, or a bad monday. I hope your day is going well.

I am a little tired today though and I don't know why. I shouldn't be, I got to sleep in Saturday, and Sunday I was up earlier, but it was just time to get up, no reason for getting up earlier. I did plan on leaving early Sunday to go visit my Cousin Cindy who lives about 1.5 hours away. And I did get out there a little after noon. It was a nice drive, sunny and not too too hot. I visited with her and the family, their 5 dogs and their friends who have a 3 year old and a new baby boy, 11 weeks. OOOHH! He was beautiful, I got to hold him for a bit and just marvel at how truly beautiful babies are. They are so perfect with their little rosebud mouth and perfect skin, just so darling. Got my mommy juices going. How I'd still love to have a child someday.

The Lace Ribbon Scarf is coming along nicely. I want to finish it and get it blocked. It'll take a little more time. I brought it to work on at lunch. It's a good pattern because i've memorized it now and so I can pick up and leave off whenever. I also need to finished the Clapotis and then I must start a pair of socks for a swap. I have the yarn picked out and we are all knitting the same pattern for the Saucy Spring Sock Swap so that should go pretty fast. But I have a deadline and you know how that goes. I'm determined to not be dealing with a deadline, I want to be finished early...ya, we'll see.

Here is a pic of my Lace Ribbon Scarf. I really like the yarn, it has this pretty pink, with touches of green and even gold in it. It reminds me of Spring.Oh crap! I thought I'd get to bed early again but I forgot that Hell's Kitchen is on tonight! I LOVE that show and will try to stay up to watch it. I'll take my cough medicine AFTER the show.

Please.....PLEASE... comment if you are reading this, I'm feeling bloggy depression... It seems people are reading, but not commenting. Can you tell me why? Is there a reason? Is it the way I write that deserves no comment or does not invite your comment? I'm just wondering....
