The Yay Boo Game
filed under: Project Spectrum ∗ Stash Sunday ∗ being a girl ∗ consumerism ∗ geek love
I had a blast at Crafty Friday. Yay!
Cody found my digital camera in one of my project bags. Yay!
He found it when it fell out onto the garage floor when he was bringing my project bag in from the car. Boo!
The camera’s still ok. Yay!
I was ubergirly last night. Yay!
I dyed my own hair dark strawberry blondish. Yay!
I used that cool depilitory Veet squeegee stuff on my legs and underarms. Yay!
I missed a spot and found a “soul patch” smack in the front middle of my ankle. Boo!
I also got a chemical burn on the underside of my left upper arm. Boo!
I found some neosporin for the healing and found some monistat topical cream (the stuff that comes in a little tube for numbing your hooha before the internal medicine works) for numbing the pain. Yay?
We got some real medicine and bandages today. Yay!
I don’t make much of a girly girl do I? Yay.
We finally made it to Trader Joe’s today! Yay!
It was unbelievably crowded. Boo!
They have good pet food. Yay!
It was comparatively cheap with higher quality than Smiths. Yay!
We didn’t buy a whole lot else. Boo!
We did get a pot of daisies…Yay!
To bring to my mother-in-law when we went for a visit this afternoon. Boo?
We got free haircuts from the mom-in-law! Yay!
The father-in-law and I did not argue about politics once. Yay!
He made a compliment (I think) about Cody looking like “the president” after his haircut. Boo
I joked “Ok Cody now you have to make a face that’s simultaneously dumb and smug!” Yay!
My mother-in-law gave me free Tupperware! Yay!
Alas, we did not get a free meal. Boo!
But I did finish the second ugg baby bootie. Yay!
My Tivo DVR thingie is acting up. Boo!
But it taped the new episode of Huff. Yay!
I’m going to go watch it now so this post is ending soon. Boo!
And eat some hummus and Pitas from Trader Joe’s. Yay!
But first I’m going to show you all these photos. Boo? Yay?

This is a neat handpainted yarn from a local artist in the East Mountains, Robin Pascal. I used her yarn to make the craaaaazy scarf.
And this is my current Project Spectrum project yarn. I’m in the second repeat on the front of my Sprout tunic with this Giotto yarn. I’m going to use this pretty gold Fiesta La Luz silk for something this month as well.
And this is the puppy wearing the glam punk rock neckwarmer
That is the most yarn I’ve ever seen! I think you have the biggest stash ever! How do you ever do anything besides knit?
Your post! Yay! But now it’s over! Boo! You crack me up! Yay! Your yarn is pretty! Yay! So’s the pupper! Yay!
Did you get to the Fiesta outlet? I did some damage, but not as much as I could have, Yay!
Stash photos! Yay! New hairdo! Yay! Bonus puppy! Yay! With mad punk collar! Yay!
I want to see your hair!
And seriously, Cody couldn’t look as stupid as the president, even if he were drunk and recently lobotomized.
Re: Trader Joe’s - I should get some cat food there. It never even occurred to me. Next time you go, check out the prochutto - it’s pretty cheap, for prochutto. And the frozen section seriously rocks. I suspect both sections were totally packed on your recent visit.
That’s a lot of Transition yarn! I love Fiesta La Luz - but it does snag like the bejesus. Puppy is so dang cute!!
Awesome yarn porn!!! Loved the yeah and boo thing… totally cool! No shot of your new hair color… Boo! Puppy loves GLAM NECKWARMER… YEAH!!!
So much pretty yarn I can barely stand it!
The YayBoo was pretty fun! Do you like how your hair turned out?
Yay for stashes! What a great stash you have! I haven’t seen half those yarns before. >Yay for stashes! What a great stash you have! I haven’t seen half those yarns before. ><’ *waves*
Wow, that’s a lot of Noro. (Yay!) Thanks for the post and the pretty stash (and puppy!) pics!
Fun post! Impressive Noro stash.
