We paid the remaining balance for the cruise - which included extra excursions and train trips and stuff. It hurt a little financially. But I keep reminding myself how much fun we’re going to have.

And Cody’s passport is even in the mail. Now we just have to wait for mine, which might take a tad longer since I reported my old one lost (technically it is..somewhere in our house, it was expired anyway) and had a name change with the marriage stuff. It was more than a little unnerving sending original documents like our marriage license but I figure (in my naive way) that the guv’ment would pay for a replacement if they lose it. Haha right. But we paid a small freakin fortune to get these processed and mailed faster so I’m not worried about it.

So now all we have to worry about is getting the pets’ shots and into the fancy pet hotel, which is always shockingly expensive, but hey they take good care of the babies so it’s worth it.

Speaking of worrying about the babies, just in case you’re wondering: yes I have checked their food about the food recall. The kitties do eat Iams wet food so I checked the codes on the bottom of the can and while some cans did come from the same factory where there have been problems the dates were not in the bad range. My biggest concern is the 18 year old, Kurry, since her immune system would be the weakest but I’ve kept a close eye on her and she’s doing fine. In fact they’ve been a bit feistier than usual. Phunq was busy chasing his tail in the bathtub this morning and Kurry climbed up onto the windowsill in the office. Not bad for elderly kitties.

I put some stuff up in the etsy shop this weekend and had some good sales. It won’t sell unless you put it up there, I keep forgetting that part. haha no I just keep putting off taking photos. I love love that lightbox I can take photos any time day or night now.

Painted Desert
I had just finished navajo plying this one when I took some photos on Friday night and it’s already in the mail today. This is from spunky eclectic’s fiber of the month club. I can never remember what her colors are called so I just make my own names up.

Beachy Keen
This one’s already sold too. I dyed the roving a few months ago and spun it up a few weeks back. It has 400 plus yards.

Spring Rain
Another Spunky Eclectic club selection, this one hasn’t sold yet. It’s so soft. So so so soft.

I’ve been spinning such traditional stuff lately. I spun some thick and thin this morning with the latest Spunky roving. I think I’m going to ply it with some contrasting dark blue thread. Then I can be back in practice for the crazy spun stuff again - so I can make the milagro yarn I’ve been wanting to spin. Yes, Ramona, that milagro yarn!

Oh, and today is our 8th wedding anniversary but he has to work tonight so we won’t really celebrate it until the weekend. Really, we’re considering the cruise and the extra days in Vancouver and Seattle both of our anniversary and birthday presents this year. It’s the first (non-family oriented) vacation we’ve had together since our honeymoon in New Orleans so we’re really looking forward to it.
