So I stumbled upon your blog, and have to admit- Are there a lot of different type of yarns with different names? I do like the soft fuzzy stuff :)
my favorite time of day is nap time!
I love listening to country music too many favorites to really have a favorite.
I love big juicy hamburgers! I am going to post a little shout out on my blog, so when you get a minute take a look at 4kidsnodog.blogspot.com
Well, first, thanks for bringing me over to comment! I know I have been missing but i should be back soon!
1) anything- and i mean ANYTHING with cashmere. I can pet it and love it, and I don't have to even knit with it. OOH! or anything malabrigo. I actually have a little skein on top of my computer that i pet when i get stressed at work.
2) I am generally a night owl. But I love saturday mornings when Tony goes out to have coffee with his dad and I have the house, the coffee, and the tv! all to myself for a few hours.
3) it is very hard to answer. But lately it has been Piazzola Anos de Soledad. My dad wants to dance that with me at my wedding, and I cry (happy tears) just thinking about it.
4)Mexican food. Give me chips, salsa and guacamle - and a little tequila, and I am so so so Happy.
