Need Some Paper?

I love notebooks. Can't get enough of 'em. Little ones in my purse, medium ones by my computer, big ones here and there. I don't think I've ever completely finished one notebook. So I've decided to host my first swap over at Swap-bot. I put it up on Monday or Tuesday and there's already 18 participants. Pretty excited about that!

I've talked about Swap-bot before because I'm completely addicted to it. There's even a Knitting category over there! I've put my swap under the categories "Paper", "Books", and "Miscellaneous". I named my swap "Never Without A Notebook". If you want to join my swap it's here. If you don't already have a swap-bot account, you'll have to sign up for that first, it's free.

Dreaming of Back to School Shopping, Ruth!

What Are Friends For!

This was the scene set in my basement last nite. My friend, Rachel, is going on vacation this weekend and wanted a bikini wax before she left. After a failed attempt using something called Nads, she asked if I could help. I wax my legs most of the time and have some experience with a wax pot. (Nads?? Seriously? Why would anyone name a beauty product after a man's testicles?)

The picture is of the wax pot, some soothing after-wax lotion, and a stiff drink. Rachel is a master drink mixer. Before we went downstairs, she made mojitos with fresh mint from her own garden. Then we moved on to coconut rum mixed with cranberry juice and pineapple juice. Mmmmm, tasty!

Here's a picture of Rachel's glass in front of mine. See how much more empty hers is? I was drinking a bit slower. After all, the waxing didn't hurt me a bit!

I'm enamored of this pattern on knitty.com. I have one ball of this color...

I need 4 more. I have these colors that I can trade....

girlie pink

white-ish

light tan

darker tan

black

Anyone out there game for a trade?

Off to wax my legs now, Ruth!

P. S. The yarn up for grabs yesterday is claimed.
