Gods forbid someone have an opinion that's unpopular.
I've had to set my blog to moderate comments because people seem to think they have a right to trash me. So, those of you that want to be bitchy, be my guest. Your comments will be deleted, unread. Have a nice day.
I don't blog here to be part of a popularity contest, and I'm not apologizing for my 'rude' and 'childish' behavior. I am who I am. Don't like it? Don't read me. I don't really give a damn.

Marco ... Polo!!!
Ugh. I'm so worn out, and the week's not over yet! Gah!
As I said the other day, Marco Polo has arrived safely, and is starting on his way out to another destination tomorrow. I couldn't even get pictures taken before my darling husband, who the swap was for anyway, attacked the packages of candy sent within. But I got some pictures once I wrested everything from his greedy little paws.
Look! A box full of beautiful stuff!
And finally, some tea, some cocoa and some mints which we both will love!
Thank you thank you thank you Amanda. Everything is much loved and much delighted in, and we have to say that being part of Yarn Aboard 2 has been just a blast!
EDIT: Unfortunately, Amanda of the Yarn Aboard deserves, after her recent comments on her blog and emails to be, no thanks. I entered this swap because I thought it would be fun, not because I wanted another job to do. Getting snippy and bitchy with me because I had the -gall- to not email my husband's thanks to her the moment I got the package is simply rediculous, insensitive, and prompts me to believe that this 'good hearted' woman simply wants to get all these packages back, and isn't really interested in the idea of giving. Gods forbid someone actually have a life. Gods forbid we have trouble going on in our home, in our lives, and not be able to email her immediately. Gods forbid we want to post our thanks for everyone to see, and not simply send an email, which I personally find cold and without a human touch.
So I am no longer a part of Yarn Aboard 2, I do not want to be a part of the contests she has running for it, and will not involve myself in any of this callous, uncaring woman's swaps. Actually, I will probably not involve myself in any further swaps with this bad taste in my mouth.

And inside, some -beautiful- fibers. Some utterly beautiful white merino (that hubby is afraid to work with until he gets a little better. He's having some issues with merino not taking spin well for him) and some simply fabulous BFL in a gorgeous colorway that I cannot wait for him to spin so I can knit it up into .. well.. something.
Candy .. that he broke into before I could pull out the camera. Very much his favorites. Thank you!

Behind
I'm trying frantically to catch up on many things. I've been knitting, and am in fact about 2/3 done the sweater back. I've got to sleep though, so will have to post pictures tomorrow, as I have a busy day tomorrow. I also need to post pictures because Marco Polo arrived at our house two days ago, and has been enduring the frazzled state of our home after the holiday and with classes ending soon. I promise pictures though .. they're on the camera, and he's getting ready to head off soon!
