I've arrived

    I have arrived.  My popularity is amazing to me.  I got the greatest comment on my blogger page about my last post.  I'll copy and paste it here:

How is it that just anybody can publish a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything extremely impressive more like youve painted a quite picture about an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some quite pictures and not really say anything?

     I just want to thank whoever left me this comment.  It cracked me up.  I was laughing so hard at it!!  It tries to be insulting but it falls far short of the mark.  Whoever this is, you have to go a lot further than this to insult me.  But I'm a big, HUGE fan of Jenny Lawson (www.theblogess.com) and she gets fan hate mail all the time.  So now I'm following in her footsteps.  Yay me, lol.
     Even better, vacation is just a few hours away!  I'm so excited.  I'm leaving to pick Randi up at the airport in about an hour and fifty minutes.  She's already at the airport, but I don't think she's boarded yet.  Her flight is only an hour and fifteen minutes or something like that (better than a ten hour drive), but I could be wrong about that.  Anyways, her flight is supposed to arrive here at eight seventeen, so I'll leave for the airport at about five till.  It's about twenty minutes to get to the Greater Cincinnati Airport (which, as a bit of trivia, is located in northern KY).  I can hardly wait.  I'm gonna go in the cell phone lot and wait for her to call me.  Then I'll pack up my stitching and go get her!  Columbus tomorrow!  Whoo hoo.  I just (ten minutes ago or less) got off the phone with Julie M.  It was so exciting for me to say, "See you tomorrow," cause I so rarely get to see her!  So I get Randi for a week and Julie M. for the day Wed.  I can't wait.  It seems like we've been planning this forever, but we really haven't.  We're hitting Keepsakes at about ten, then we're gonna go to Columbus and hit Julie's house.  We'll hang there for a bit, until almost three.  Then we're going to the Waffle House to meet Lauren of Sassy's Fabbys.  Hopefully, her mom can watch her little one so she can have a nice adult lunch for a change.  Then we're hitting my friend Lisa's bead shop (because I really, REALLY like the beads Julie used in the Northern Lights bracelet, and I may get some for her to make me a bracelet).  If you want to see the really cool beads I'm talking about, look here.  They're an AB finish bead, which gives them an odd sort of glow.  (Of course, they odd.  They're mine, lol.)   Okay, nm, I can't link you as she doesn't have it in her artfire or etsy shop.  But you can see the beads here.   if you look at the bottom piccy, you can see that some of them look like blue crystals (left), some look green (to the right), some look brown (further right), and some look gold (center).  It's the finish that does that.  These are clear crystal, so you can imagine what happens with the base crystal is a colored crystal.  They're awesome!!  Then we're going to Michael's for floss (I'm kitting up Lust and Randi is kitting up some of her Lizzie Kates).  We're also going to Joann's for bears eyes, since it's right across the shopping center from my friend Lisa's bead shop.  My mom makes a significant number of teddy bears out of the fur coats and clothing of people who are deceased.  It's a nice way to remember them, without keeping clothes that are useless.  Sometimes each family member picks the outfit that they most remember their loved one in, and mom makes the bears out of them.  Other times, the loved one has a fur coat (real or fake) that the bears are made of.  Either way, they need eyes, so I'm looking at Joann's.  Not all Joann's carry them, so we'll see.
     Randi wants to get Bitter Half set up (floss wound on bobbins, bobbins in their bags) when she gets up from her nap today.  I'm sure we'll sit and stitch for a while when we get up.  I'm picking her up at the airport, then we're going to the grocery store to pick up the food for her visit.  We're just gonna split it down the middle.  I think that's only fair, since we're both gonna eat it.  Then we're coming home to sleep for a while.  I've been up since ten last night, so I'm not as worked around the clock as I want to be.  Hopefully, I'll be up late today (four maybe?) and that will make it easier tomorrow.  We'll see!!  Anywho, I hope you all have a fabulous day.  I may be back to blog again during Randi's vacation, but I'm not sure.  I may not see y'all again till next week!!
