My friend Heather has warned me repeatedly on the dangers of dying my own hair. I’ve never listened. I’ve dismissed her concerns. I’ve dyed my own hair on and off for about 20 years now, and I’ve never had any issues (other than some dye stains on towels, bath robes, bath mats, shower curtains, etc., etc.)

Sometimes you’re the bug

Ever have one of those weeks (or months) where your life is like a bad country song? The past two weeks have been a frustrating time for me. My boyfriend and I broke up. My cat, Jellybean, died. I injured my back/hip. I’m lucky I don’t have a pickup truck as it might have been stolen. As one of my favorite country songs goes, “Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug”. The past two weeks I’ve definitely been the bug.
Fun with fiber

I went to the Michigan Fiber Festival the other weekend. No, it’s not a festival with booths of Metamucil, Benefiber, Fiber One, etc. It’s a YARN festival! Lots and lots of beautiful yarn – and fluffy stuff (also known as “roving”) from which to make yarn – and animals from which to make fluffy stuff from which to make yarn.
My friend Amy bought two tickets on the Windy City Knitting Guild’s bus. The bus left Saturday morning at 7:00 a.m. sharp. I arrived first. The woman in charge asked me if I was a member of the knitting guild, to which I replied “No, but my friend Amy is. She got us two tickets.” The woman suggested I join the knitting guild, to which I replied “I don’t knit.” She looked at me, perplexed. “Why are you going to the fiber festival?” “Oh”, I replied, “I crochet – and I like yarn.”
Farewell, sweet princess

I lost Jellybean today. Jellybean was my firecracker, with lots of “tortie-tude”. The spark of that firecracker has sadly gone out.
