Whoops...

OK, here's the thing: I had a very, very busy day today. Maybe for most people it wouldn't be considered a full schedule. But, for me, it was quite the social whirlwind. Hence, I am posting at 11:30 on a Saturday night just like I'm some sort of party girl. Shameful, really...

Mommy Sheep and I rendezvoused at the parental compound (also known as the suburban ranch I like to call my childhood home) and headed out to the craft fair just a teensy bit behind schedule. This was due to a certain Sheep's inability to roll out of bed and get herself put together in anything remotely resembling a timely fashion.

A good time was had and many dollars spent, although I noted a marked lack of Popsicle stick art. I still feel that this is an untapped market and one that I could quite handily corner should I make the decision to abandon the knitting that has so filled me with despair of late. I also observed a decline in the number of participants in the event and wondered if my joining this particular association of crafters with my fine renderings in this new medium might be welcome.

It is also entirely possible that the heat was getting to me at that point. It was hot today. Not just "regular hot." It was "stupid hot." 90 degrees and humid. There was sweating involved. A great deal of it, actually. This is not what I expect from my weather on a September day in Maine. The living room temperature here at Sheep Headquarters, once again, registered a grump-inducing 92 degrees.

This was unfortunate since I needed to ready myself for a trip over to Baby Brother Sheep's house in order that I might help ring in the birthday of Future SIL Sheep. It was sort of hard to be my sparkling social best while I was wringing out my hair and attempting to peel my shirt from my back. Still, it was a nice visit and there was cake so I was able to find my inner socialite and participate fully in the festivities. I was just a little "limp" is all.

So there you go. It's a poor excuse for leaving you behind for almost two whole days, but it's the best I have. Tomorrow I'll try to be a bit more detailed with the posting and maybe even share a few of my purchases from the craft fair with you all. In the meantime, I'm off to see if I can't catch the re-broadcast of the Torchwood premier that I managed to miss what with all the gallivanting about. BBC America is generally pretty good about repeating these things so I should be able to catch it at some point between now and whenever.

I am also a little bit tired and should probably consider a little bit of sleep at some point. All this gadding about is really rather exhausting...
