Pass The Kleenex
Sun Dec 05 2004


I've gone and caught a sniffle.

Not a full blown cold mind you, just a minor annoyance cold.

A little bit ago, you would have found me hunched over a bowl of chicken soup, slurping and sniffing, hoping it would work it's chicken soup magic and banish my malady.

Funny, I DO feel better after a bowl of the stuff.

Maybe there's something to it after all.

Along with the sniffles, I am up to my eyeballs in wool yarn and packets of kool aid. Thanks to ImNotLisa, I now have the yarn dying bug. I'm crocheting a felted wool purse. I have three colors of yarn I'm using, and I decided I didn't really like the one blue, and I am going to try to re-dye it... what the heck.

I'm about 1/3 finished with the crochet part, and the thing looks enormous. But I am assured by the experts that when I put it in the washer with hot water, it is going to shrink. We shall see.

Well, off I go into the kitchen to cook up some yarn that smells like Arctic Green Apple Kool Aid.

I must be out of my mind.

(This is the first thing that you have said today that makes any sense whatsoever)

Wouldn't you know it, ( ) shows up when least I need him.

Sigh.... sniff.

    Hope you feel better soon! :) We have summer colds going around here now, almost as bad as the winter bugs.

    Awww! Please don't get a full-blown cold. Chanukah is coming, and you have to be well!

    I just bought some kosher Christmas cookies. ;-o

    Shalom

    Sounds like fun, except for having the sniffles as well. ;-)

    It will shrink, and if it doesn't shrink enough you can wash it again.

    I never thought about re-dyeing my yarn. I want to get some squirt bottles kind of like those older red ketchup bottles, you know the picnic set ones? Something, anyway, that I can drip and dribble dye on the yarn before I cook it. I tried it with a spoon last time and it worked a little but was impossible to control.

    I hope you feel better in the morning. :o)

    I hope the chicken soup works. Cold bugs do not deserve to live long and prosper. :)
