H is for...
HAUL!
I have received quite a few packages in the mail in the recent past, some from blog friends, some from friends of my credit card. All yummo.
An original VUBOQ. It's too pretty to use as a kitchen utensil holder, but I am too lazy to find something else to hold them.
YAY BOOKS!
Noro, Fleece Artist, and J Knits sock yarns. (FLEECE ARTIST!) Plus t-shirt. Plus some notions and two maple lollipops that have been hidden until such time as I can eat them in peace.
Fantastic hand-dyed goodness. (BigAlice does lovely work.)
Yarn, cool funky buttons, Fetchings, and chocolate! YUM.

E is for...
Extended absence.
It's not like I planned a blog break. I've been reading, commenting as I feel moved to do so, etc. I just haven't quite gotten back into the habit of a completely wired life after having been offline for so long when the MIL passed away. Plus, as the spring quickly moves to summer here, we have spent every weekend at the lake trying to prepare the old camper for when the stepkids come for Memorial Day, which leaves me weeknight evenings to do all the laundry and tidying that I usually did on the weekends. Yeah, who am I kidding? I didn't tidy and I rarely did laundry. But it's still piling up faster than usual, it seems.
There has been knitting, though. I finished my Zombie socks (Ravelry link) for round 1 of sock madness, and squeaked in under the wire for round 2 with the Reversai pattern (Ravelry link). It was quite a feat of knitting stupidity, too - it took me four days of evening knitting to finish the first one, so I decided to finish the second in one night. I had to give up at 2:30 when my hands stopped responding to what I wanted them to do, and my brain was so tired I screwed up more stitches than I knit correctly. I finished them this morning in the car on th way to the lake, and, all hail modern technology, took a picture, uploaded it, and emailed the judges from the car on the side of the road.

A is for Arizona!
Guess I better get on this whole ABC Along, huh? (I have totally dropped the ball on the spinning thing.)
A is for Arizona, the state of my birth and where I have lived for about 31 of my years on this planet. It's a deeply conservative place, and I managed to be a flaming liberal despite its best intentions. Southern Arizona, where I live, supports thousands of delicate species of critters from bugs and birds to mammals, and kills hundreds of homo sapiens a year who dare to cross her without adequate preparation. She's kind of a bitch that way.
BUT. She's not without beauty.
From Sabino Canyon:
From my back yard:
My favorite lake:
All that being said, after 31 years I'm ready for a new scene, y'all.
