same as (insert ASL sign here)

I used the "same as" sign so much while talking to Kippi this week.  It is made by making that good ol' hang ten sign (thumb and pinky finger sticking out, middle fingers curled into palm), and then moving your hand back and forth between whatever persons/objects you are talking about.  I am amazed at how similar we are despite being from different backgrounds and being in completely different places in our lives. 

I'm fairly sure she has no idea how much she taught me and how much I appreciated her being here.  She is an amazing person, a strong woman and incredibly selfless....and did I mention fun?  Thank you my friend.  Please come back soon.  ♥

lately

As per standard operating procedure, I've neglected my blog - as well as my exercise program, running program, knitting and spinning.  Oops.  But, really, who is actually reading my ridiculous drivel?

Work has been so busy that I've little energy to do much else.  However, I have had a mini vacation of fun this last week with Kippi and of course I had to share a couple of pictures.   

Later this week, I will get back to the "normal".  (maybe?)  Gym time, running and spinning up new pretty skeins for my etsy shop grand opening.  As for the etsy shop, it looks like I may have to change my planned opening date, but I've got my fingers crossed that I don't have to.

And just because I'm random, I thought I'd share this shot from 2006.  Get outta ma' way!!!  Why isn't there derby here??
