Shelbell's World

I've been gone all day, still feel like ass, and had to drive home 2.5 hours in the pouring rain. I try to settle in for a little time on Ravelry..and I get can't the damn page to load! Now how am I going to chill?

People...if you are sick...STAY home! This nasty flu/cold whatever the hell it is has been going around my office for nearly 3 weeks now. 3 people have been to the hospital that I'm aware of - two because their illness turned into bronchitis.... but do people stay HOME... NO. So guess what....now I'm sick! I think there's one person left in the office after me who hasn't gotten it yet. But seriously people....STAY the hell home when you are not well. Did we really need a whole office full of people feeling like death? I know I didn't need it!

Hm...so I started working on the Baby Tulip Sweater from Dream In Color over the weekend as I mentioned before. What I didn't mention..is the obscene amount of this yarn I also ordered over the weekend! 4 skeins of go go grassy for Wicked 5 skeins of Pansy Go Lightly for Mr. Greenjeans 1 skein of Petal Shower 1 skein of Ruby River 1 skein of Punky Fuschia 1 skein of Wisterious (the signal skeins will go towards a girls Rocketry blanket I think..and or more sweaters). And thats all just from The Loopy Ewe I also placed an order at Eat Sleep Knit for: 1 skein Dusky Aurora 1 skein of Deep Seaflower 1 skein of Nighwatch (these will go with the blues I already have towards a boys Rocketry blanket and maybe more sweaters). And I ordered new Dream in Color Pattern from Pick UP Sticks for the Scotty Vest, Adult Tulip Cardigan, and Dream In Color Shrug. Oh..then I ALMOST went back to Eat Sleep Knit to order some DIC Fatty because thats what the Scotty Vest uses...but I controlled myself...

Found another great online yarn store I love: Sonny and Shear . They are one of a few stores online that carry the Dream in Color line. (So does my favorite The Loopy Ewe ). Plus Sonny and Shear carries my favorite Brittany birch needles.

So Friday morning..yes...7am to be exact...I cleaned out my garage finally. And now my honda has its new home! Was soooo nice to have it in there this weekend. Shame on me for being too lazy to do this sooner! That poor car spent its first two months out in the cold on the driveway! Only problem now, I have to make SURE I'm watching behind me and don't back into the impala again! After my second time doing that, I started backing the honda up the driveway so I'd SEE the impala in front of me and not hit it. But I can't back it into the garage because of what side of the car the door inside would be in....so.....I'm being careful...and the next time the cars collide the impala is definitely getting parked on the street! I've also been getting LOTS of knitting done lately! I loaded up on Dream In Color Classy yarn in a bunch of colors. And I'm well into the Tulip Baby Cardigan . And SOOOOO loving it! I can't believe how much I got done. I figured I'm ...

My ASS!!! Not only did it take me 48 hours to get home from Peoria last week...but get what happened to me TODAY (taken from an email I sent to a few friends from the airport tonight. Good news is...I'm blogging on my macbook from my desk...so at least there was a happy ending! I'm thinking need to start a book on all my crazy travel problems and what I do when I'm stranded in airports. Too bad I didn't come up with that idea like 5 years ago though....Book would be done! Yeah so....was supposed to land in charlotte at 8:48am for a 10-3 meeting. Diverted to SC and finally got to charlotte at 11:15, putting me at the office at noon. Meeting was OVER. Lunch was over (I was offered leftovers from the day before). B, who called the meeting, tells me to try and catch the 4pm flight rather than wait til my 6pm. I call my admin to try and change my flight. She emails me that u have to try for standby. She also wrote ( which I didnt see until 4:30) that I was unchecked from th...

Look at the beautiful STR lightweight I got for posting on KnitMap .
